L.A

Star Girl is in Los Angeles!!!

First full day in The States and we went to Universal Studios. It was a great day, we did all the rides and shows etc.

We firstly started with the Simpson's ride, it was brilliant, although it left you with a queasy feeling. The animation was fantastic and it was great fun, also as we got there early we queued for around ten minutes compared to those who chose to ride in the afternoon and spent 45 minutes queuing.

Secondly, we went on the Jurassic Park ride and got absolutely soaked! We were drenched but the ride was amazing, the dinosaurs were so scary, especially the last T-Rex just before you fell down the drop. Afterwards we were all cold but it was good to get the ride down early so that we had the midday sun to dry us off.

Not only are there rides at Universal but it does the talks on special effects, filming, make up, editing and camera uses etc. The staff were friendly and funny making the shows/talks enjoyable for our whole family.

The Universal tour was also brilliant, at around the right length of time (45 minutes) we got a tour of the whole campus. We saw movie sets and saw stunts such as a flood (the scene from big fat liar), and also a man falling out of a building (for a film which can not be named!).

Another ride was The Mummy. This was the fastest ride in the whole theme park, it was so fast that my eyes streamed with tears as we went through. It was pitch black but even Faye liked it.

Other shows included Water World, which was brilliant, the stunts were incredible and had everyone watching intently.

The final show we went to was the animal movie stars, some of the animals ad been in films such as Evan Almighty, One animal seemed quite distressed though =S

When we were leaving we stopped off in a range of shops which were selling cheap souvenirs which were great to look at and would be a reminder of the day.


Now it's bed time... I'm so tired from the day and we have a long day tomorrow as well.
