On Thursday, Lafe was done with the conference, so now we could PLAY!!! We, of course, HAD to go to Universal Studios to see the Harry Potter stuff!!!
Jurassic Park area, just past Harry Potter
Hogsmeade!!! You come up to it and it's amazing how realistic it looks! So AWESOME!!!!!!
Our first roller coaster - the Fighting Dragons, I think. OK, these aren't Disneyland Rides, folks! So many more TWISTS and TURNS and UPSIDE DOWNs!!! THere were two different roller coasters intertwined with each other. SO MUCH FUN!!!!! But, alas, I get motion sickness, and EVERY ride warned you about it. Of course the rides made me sick. Luckily, we found some Dramamine, and after 20 minutes, I was good to go for the rest of the day!
Inside the Castle - recognize the entrance to Dumbledore's office?
THe sorting hat. They made the rides so fun because there were stories being told as you wait in line and it all connects to the ride you're about to go on.
The Castle - REALLY COOL!!!!!!
HI!
Train to Hogwarts!
Hagrid's Hut - this is actually in line for the Dragon Roller Coaster - I think we rode that one 4 or 5 times!
Ron's Car - same ride.
LUNCH! We ate at the 3 Broomsticks - they are so efficient there - amazing how they got us all through that line! And, just so you know, the Butter Beer is really that good!!!!!!
Comic Area of Universal
After a long day of walking around the park (probably at least 3 times through the WHOLE thing!), we stopped for dinner at Bubba Gumps! It was yummy and such a fun environment! Everything was Forrest Gump and the waitress even quizzed you before you could leave. Yummmmmmmmm!
