As a film student the idea of going to Universal Studios was far too exciting, especially as we get student rates. So, a group of us decided to head to Los Angeles and Universal City and get an annual pass for only $77.
We were lucky enough to be blessed with beautiful weather and we even got a pass which allowed us to go to the front of the queues.
We started off our day with a cheeky lunch at Johnny Rockets. I had chicken strips and bbq sauce and we all got a couple of photos taken my a professional photographer.
The food was super good but the bill got majorly screwed up which was a complete pain!
We then entered the park and I think it's safe to say I fell slightly in love with it.
I think this statue alone signs up my future career and I love it excessively. I want it in my living room when i'm older.
Our first ride of the day was the studio tour, we were told it takes on average an hour but it gives a tour of all the backlot studios where TV stations like 'The Mindy Project' and 'CSI' is filmed. We also saw the streets in which films like 'Back to The Future' and 'Bruce Almighty' were filmed on as well as the whole lake set up of where 'Jaws' was filmed. I loved this tour and this was hands down my favourite part of the day, ESPECIALLY going down Wisteria Lane.
The stairs just on the right here is where Bruce runs down with his dog in the film 'Bruce Almighty'.
Wisteria Lane!
Next stop was the land of Despicable Me! The whole little town was super cute :)
However, i decided not to ride this one and neither did Pam, so instead we went to view the show 'Waterworld' which was actually surprisingly really good and both me and Pam thoroughly enjoyed it. We even met a guy who's been on The Walking Dead.
Unfortunately our day came to a close early as they had to make way for the Halloween evenings, which they decorated the entire park awesome for.
I love this film! Super tempted to go to the Horror Night!
All in all I had an awesome day at Universal, so good infact, i'm visiting tomorrow!
