The title states universal studio so this post is obviously going to be about that, but before i start the post i wanna exclaim how sad i am that ROB is out from survivor!
I can still remember the last time i had that kind of feeling was when Rob and Amber were eliminated from the amazing race.
Oh my, that feeling is really saddening, especially when you have been rooting for that certain person since day 1 but what to do, got to accept it.
Well, sad things aside, the night at universal studio with Elijah was freaking cool! My mom managed to purchase two tickets, each at a price of $25 which was cheap compared to the $60 entrance fee. But, we could only roam the area from 7pm-11pm and there were only three rides open.


BY THE WAY, if you are planning to go to universal studio and if you do not want to know anything about it in order to be completely WOW-ed by the place, My advise, don't read anymore :D
Okay, so the place followed 7 themes ( Hollywood, Madagascar, Shrek, The lost world, Mummies, New York and some sci-fi thing)
So as you walk down the path, you will be greeted by the different settings following the different themes.
First up was HOLLYWOOD! not many pictures though

Next up came Madagascar! Say Hi to Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria!






Very creative and since it was 4D, they actually played around with your one of your senses, touch! There was this scene where the donkey(ass) started sneezing and water was being sprayed on your body! Everyone screamed! It was so funny!
And when the horsees started galloping, the whole chair started shaking in a rocking manner. Oh, and there was another part when there were many spiders coming out of the screen(3D) towards us and suddenly, they fell downwards of the screen.
Guess what's next? Some thingy touched our feets! Obviously we assumed they were spiders right! and i dare not put my feet on the ground!

Me and Elijah were seating at the SOAK ZONE (first few rows) and we were considering whether to purchase ponchos since the announcer kept mentioning that we might get completely wet. Eventually, we paid $3 for two ponchos. What a great way for them to earn money la cause in the end we were not that wet -.- and we threw away the ponchos too cause it was stuffed up in my bag and it was very irritating.
After water world, we knew that majority were definitely going for the MUMMIES ride so we decided to be kiasu and chiong there!


The ride was AH-MA-ZING!! Actually, elijah told me what was going to happen already but it was still great.
Firstly, they started slow and by the sides, you could see some scary artifacts and wax figures. The ride continued going slow and suddenly you realised that there was a wall in the front (meaning the ride could not go in front anymore). So, it stopped.
Next thing you know, the whole coaster started moving backwards VERY FAST AND DROPPED. OMG. I WAS TAKEN ABACK! so it was at this speed all the way ( we were still moving backwards) until it stopped suddenly. Just when we thought it ended............
The coaster turned to face the front and started moving at turbo speed again!! My heart dropped. Still, super cool. We cheered at the end of the ride! Talk about enthusiastic.




Far, far away..(shrek)

While waiting for the next ride (Enchanted). It was a junior ride and finished in, I think, less than 20 secs. LOL but still fun.
With Shrek and Fiona. Yes, i know its blur. But, there was a professional photographer there and our picture was taken by him as well. There was a booth by the side where we could collect our pictures! FREE OF CHARGE WEEE
Guess how much is this cookie, the size of a palm??
