well wow, i got back from the united states today after 4 days in hollywood doing something im not allowed to tell you about with 2 other important people.

anyway theres no photos on this TR because the fecking airport scanners cleared my memorycard in my camera, this is the 2nd time this has happened so a note to people. if your going on a plane take your SD cards out of your camera because the scanners can corupt the files and youll lose everything on them

anyway on to the TR

i was in universal hollywood for all of 5 hours on thursday afternoon when i got some time to myself and WOW is the place awsome. i got on 4 rides all day but i got to live a dream and sit in a back to the future delorian. now i just got to get into ecto 1 and my dream of movie cars is complete

the mummy. what an awsome ride, you really get the feeling and the anticipation for the ride in the first part going throught the mummys. such great effects through the ride and the backwards part is totally amazing. my favirite scene is at the end when you bannis the curse as it brings the whole thing to an awsome end if anything it was a little short even for an indoor type coaster and it wasent as forcefull as i was expecting but the overall experience just throughs the lot out of the window and blows you away and for that it hits 8 on my top 10 coaster. this was also my 200th coaster YAY ME

house of horrors was pretty awsome too. chucky is in there but ive always found him too cheesy but i really enjoyed the throwback to the classic wolfman and frankinstein. some parts were scary but i would call it truly frightening but i wish there were more dark rides like this.

jurassic park. though i had heard alot about this ride and how amazing it is i didnt find it to blow me out the water, basically you float around alot of animatronic dinos then drop into a pool. it was one of the better waterflume rides ive riden shure but not as good as its claimed to be but yes i did enjoy it

the simsons ride was ok i guess for a simulator, in hind sight i wish i had gone on something else really but it was still pretty awsome. it did feel pretty good and the overall effect was very well done and it was all very well themed but it is just a simulator. (i wish it was still BTTF)

finally the waterworld show and goodness greasus great balls of fire this was better than any show i have seen ever, it came close to the one at holiday park last year then half way through blew it to pieces, nothing but fighting, fire, things flying one way and stuff the next, it was just an orgasmic show for thrill action junkies like myself.

on the visit i wish i had more time to see all there was to be seen, i wish i had gone on the studios tour instead of the simpsons but with such little time there was only so much i could do.
i wish my SD card wasent corupted and i had some photos but hopefully ill be returning. i really hope

Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.
