Universal Studios Hollywood 🎢🍿✨

**Los Angeles’ Universal Studios is relatively small—you can finish all the rides in one day with a tight schedule!** ⏳🎢 📱 **Download the *Universal Studio Hollywood app*** to check real-time wait times! 📲✨ 🍴 **Reserve Toadstool Cafe in advance!** The meal takes about an hour—food is decent but a bit pricey. 🍝💰 🍺 **Butterbeer is a must-try!** The foam on top tastes like sweet cream—grab one in the *Harry Potter* area! 🍻⚡ ⌚️ **Get a Mario Power-Up Band at the store!** Connect it to the app and earn points by hitting ? blocks and bricks. Collect 3 keys (by beating mini-games) to unlock the Bowser Jr. boss fight! 🏁🎮 I played: - **Whack-a-Turtle** (hit them before they go into pipes!) 🐢👊 - **Alarm Clock Smash** ⏰💥 - **Crank Turn** (spin the lever fast!) 🔄🎢 --- ### ⭐ **My FAVORITE Rides!** ⭐ 1️⃣ **Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge ♂️🏁** - Wear 3D glasses and race through game-like worlds! - Use the steering wheel buttons to shoot shells—protect your team & attack Bowser! 💣 - A bit confusing at first, but SO fun! 🤩 2️⃣ **Harry Potter & the Forbidden Journey 🧙♂️⚡** - **Immersive flying coaster!** Fight Voldemort with Harry—twists, drops, and epic flying scenes! - Some spinning (a little dizzying), but the *sky-flying* feeling is MAGICAL! 🌌✨ 3️⃣ **Studio Tour 🎬🚌** - A **45-60 min ride** showing real movie sets & special effects! - See *Jaws, Fast & Furious, Psycho,* and more—HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!** 🎥🔥 4️⃣ **Jurassic World—The Ride 🦖💦** - Water rafting with **realistic dinosaurs!** - Ends with a **medium drop** (not too scary, but fun!) - As a *Jurassic Park* fan, I LOVED it! 🦕❤️ **Minions & Simpsons** are **indoor motion simulators**—I prefer *Minions* (super cute story where YOU become a Minion!). **Secret Life of Pets** is adorable too—you’ll spot movie pets in the queue! 🐶🎢 --- #UniversalStudiosLA #HarryPotterWorld #MarioKartRide #JurassicParkAdventure #ButterbeerLover #StudioTour #ThemeParkFun 🎡🍌🦖
