Good Points: Something for everyone. Interesting, entertaining and a really full day and always being expanded.
Bad Points: Can't think of anything to put me off going again and again, but occasionally, the tram guides speak far too quickly, which must be tough for those where English/American is not their first language.
General comments: My first visit to Universal Studios was back in 1983 and I have been several times since and enjoyed it every single time. It has always been a great day and in many respects, is more than a match for Disneyland - and I love Disneyland. When rides or attractions are new, the queues are always very long, but after a couple of years (that is time between visits, not the queue time!), those same queues are much shorter, especially first thing in the morning. The "Back To The Future" ride is a classic case, and in my humble opinion is probably the best of all rides in any theme park. I am well past the first flush of youth yet still get a big kick when visiting Universal, and can't wait to take the grandchildren... The shows are extremely professional with lots of humour. Pre-show, there may be an entertainer working the entering crowd, and these characters are often stars in their own right. I believe that Universal is very aware of what the visitors want and they deliver it very well indeed and by the time an attraction of any sort is tired and not attracting good crowds, it is replaced or updated. Changes seem more rapid than in other parks so for those like me who use an LA stopover from NZ to the UK, need those updates! Plan your visit ahead of time - the internet is a wonderful resource and it will be well worth the effort. Note: This review relates to a 2005 visit.
