went to universal for the first time today, and it was such a good day.
We went straight to island of adventure and hulk, where we accidentally got in the single rider queue, but it only took 10 minutes so we had time to do doctor doom before our lockers ran out which was good. We then headed round to the log flume (the name escapes me) but the queue wasn’t moving as it had broken down, so we left that and went on popeye instead which was only a 15 minute queue. I didn’t wear a mac so got absolutely drenched, so glad I took spare clothes with me or I would have been soggy all day :’]
we decided to stick with the water rides before lunch so headed to Jurassic park and again only had a 10 minute or so wait.
After lunch we made our way to hogsmeade, which is the best thing ever! we queued for the harry potter ride for over an hour, but it was so worth it, half way through the ride it stopped (the bit with the spiders if you’ve been on and know where I mean) it only stopped for like 30 seconds, but because of that they let us go again which was amazing, so we got to ride twice from a 60 minute wait :D
After that we headed down through the shops, and experienced Olivanders as well, before we left hogsmeade we went on dragon challenge. Bit let down that they don’t do them in sync anymore, but it was still okay, and we rode it twice so we could do both the red and blue sides.
Before leaving Island of adventure we did poseidon, the seuss-osel (or something) and spiderman. By this point it was about 7pm so we decided to head over to studios for a little while.
We headed straight to the mummy, which was pretty much a walk on :) the queue was so short that they let us ride again without going out and coming back in which was good of them, and we got front row the second time :D
After the mummy we went to rip rockit, which was only a 20 minute queue, however when we got to the front of the queue the ride broke down, like full evac and everything. They told us it could take up to 50 minutes to reset so to check back later, so I casually asked that as we had queued all the way for this if there was any chance we could get an express pass to come back later. Instead the woman asked us which ride we wanted to go on next, we told her transformers, so she took us over there and we got free express for that instead which was amazing as we queued for less than 5 minutes for a ride that opened 5 days ago and had a 100 minute queue at least for most of the day :’]
After transformers we decided to get tea and go to try rip rockit again, this time we had a 30 minute wait, but we actually managed to get on the ride :D
By this point it was gone 10pm so the park was officially closed, but on the way out we noticed the queue for Minion Mayhem was still outside the building, and as the show wasn’t full the lady let us join the end to catch the last show of the day, again skipping the need for queuing, we had avoided the queue as it had been 70 minutes long the whole time we were there, and again only ended up queuing 5 minutes at the end of the day :D
