We decided to visit USH despite our disregard for the Florida site as we've heard many nice things about it. We bought our tickets as part of a package and opted for the Front of Line passes. While the park wasn't too crowded on a Thursday, it was a definitely plus to skip ahead of almost everyone and get right... more

I was visiting family in LA and my cousin and I decided to go to Universal for the day. We were planning on purchasing just an ordinary one day pass, but after standing in the ticket line for amost an hour, we dicided to buy "front of line passes". If it wasnt for those passes, the day wouldnt have been... more

We went on almost all of the rides, and even though I walk with a cane, I found them easy to get on & off. The attendants were VERY helpful. I am a "senior" but I still had a great time and so did my wife (who is a lot younger than me). We liked the Jurrastic park ride best.... more

The VIP tour of universal studios was very dissapointing. It costs alot more than the normal tour and to be honest doesnt show much more than the normal studio tour. We did everything the normal tour did and the only extra things we did were go into the prop warehouse (not overly exciting) and to a foley stage, and extra... more

I last went here in 1991 and 1998 - i went again this april. The park just doesn't seem to have the same vibe about it like it did when i went in the previous years. the buzz is gone. the studio lot tour is still enjoyable and the mummy ride and jurasstic park river ride are both much better... more

I travelled to Universal on my own from Santa Monica via the bus and metro system. Which was easy enough, and not a bad way to see how the city works. Made it to universal and from memory thought it was a bit expensive at the time. Once inside though, i did have an enjoyable time, the studio tour was... more

Universal Studios was not what we expected. We were expecting more amusement park rides, and there were only 2, the Revenge of the Mummy rollercoaster ride, and the Jurassic Park flume ride. The backlot tour may be considered a ride, and was fun. All the other attractions were shows. Had we been prepared for this, we may have not been... more

Prior to my visit to Universal, I read reviews on here as I was considering buying front of line passes, I am so glad I took notice of the reviews on here as we were there at the second weekend in April and there were no lines at all, I would have been pretty annoyed for paying the extra for... more

Greetings Trip-People: I just had to write a review of my recent visit to Universal Studios in Universal City (L.A.) on Sunday, April 7, 2008. We had a great time! My bride and I live in Orange County, which is about an hour south of Los Angeles. Unlike me, she is not from California, so I'm trying to show her... more
