Trip to Universal Studio



Gal's brother gave us a pair of tickets to the Universal Studios. We decided to go on a week day as the visitors would be much lesser, and we will not have to spend a long time queuing for all the rides. However, this would mean missing out on the fireworks.
 
Thankfully, the weather was fine.

There were not many visitors seen along the streets, which was a good thing for us.

The first mascot that we came across.
Muz take photo! =p

I think we look good with the hats! =p



Hmm.... the lady on the left seemed shocked?

Betty Boop

Old school police car



Part-time construction worker!







First stop, Transformers Ride.
The ride was pretty popular as many people were seen queuing up.

 Closer look at BumbleBee.
Gotta wait around half an hour before it's our turn.







There were some exhibition of the items along the way to keep us occupied while waiting in the queue. Quite a thrilling 3D ride with storyline!

Photo taking time with the Optimus Prime



Bumblebee before transformation!

Spotted Optimus Prime mascot running away!
Break time perhaps, no photo with him.

Next stop, Battlestar Galactica! This is what makes your ticket worthwhile! We tried both the Human and the Cyclone ride! It was gal's first time taking a roller coaster ride. Good job! =p



Entering the Ancient Egypt World



Muz try Revenge of the Mummy ride. It is a thrilling indoor roller coaster ride full of twist and surprises. And the setting is pitch-dark, which makes it even scarier.















The Lost World. This is a world mainly for families and kids. We only tried the Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure and the Canopy Flyer.
 
The Jurassic Park Rapids simulates a ride in a raft. Be prepared to get wet at the end of the ride. Poncho is required, unless you do not mind getting wet.
 
The Canopy Flyer is a leisure ride around the perimeter of the Lost World, where you can enjoy a bird's eye view of the whole area.

Journey to the Far Far Away Land!

Luck was not on our side. Throughout the whole day, we did not meet Shrek, Princess Fiona or Puss in Boots.



Into the beautiful castle for the Shrek 4-D Adventure show





I have found a piggy! =p

Our late lunch at Mel's Drive in



A group of good-looking guys singing and dancing away just outside the restaurant



Hmmm..... Marilyn Monroe
Doesn't really look like her =x





Madagascar!

Alex, the lion!

It's show time!
 
I like to move it, move it!
I like to move it, move it!
I like to move it, move it!
Ya like ta, Move it!





The cute Penguins!

Sexy Hippo!

The photo taking session was pretty short! We did not managed to take photos with all the character, especially Alex! Trying to get the attention of Alex, hopefully a shot..... but ......

.... only he responded!
wahahaha! Not you, not you!

There was still some time before the WaterWorld show, trying to pass time by taking the Madagascar: A Crate Adventure

WaterWorld show! A cool short sketch with lots of explosions, stunts, thrills, and also WATER!!! Be careful where you sit, as it will determine how wet you will end up in. =p

A full view of the Battlestar Galactica

The last mascot that we met on our way out. It was quite a nice experience after all. However, the place is quite small. We were able to cover everything in half a day.
 
Don't think we will spend $68 per pax to come back again, unless it adds a few more attractions.
