Even as Hollywood is famously called as the most important hub of US cinema and a prime inspiration for several movie industries around the world, Universal Studios Hollywood deserves special mention as it has emerged as the Entertainment Capital of L.A.
The attractions at the Universal Studios Hollywood are manifold. And there is never any shortage of entertainment and thrills in the theme park of the Universal Studios Hollywood, which promises a host of rides and shows that would rivet your attention. One of the major attractions of the place is a tour of the real film studio and an exclusive insider view of the Hollywood experience. The behind the scenes stories are thus revealed to you as you get to know of the secrets of King Kong, The Mummy etc at the “Special Effects Stage”. Also you can get “The Universal Experience”, which is an interactive exhibit telling and showing you authentic wardrobe and props from several past, present and forthcoming Universal productions.
Remember that the Universal Studios Hollywood is a typical theme park loaded with unique rides and shows that would attract not only the young ones but also the grown-ups. So what are the attractions of this one-stop place for fun? There is a host of top draws that base their theme on your favorite characters from Hollywood. If you are a fan of Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie, then the ideal tour for you at the Universal Studios Hollywood would be the “Simpsons Ride” where you can go to Krustyland with your whole family and take a thrilling ride through the park laced with attractions for the kids, daring stunt acts etc.
Now, if you are in for some over-the-top thrills that would race your heart and put it in your mouth, then the exciting “Revenge of the Mummy – the Ride” at the Universal Studios Hollywood could be your choice where you have to escape the vengeance of the horrible Mummy in a ride that is made to look life-like by its superb special effects. If you still want some more horror fare, then take a tour of the nightmarish “House of Horrors” in a twisting and turning trip along the dark maze, with the Frankenstein and the Werewolf for company. Otherwise, take the challenge of the “Fear Factor Live” where you go through some excruciating moments of your life testing your physical and mental extremes in this new show added to the Universal Studios Hollywood list of attractions recently.
The Universal Studios Hollywood, however, has its most popular attraction in the “Jurassic Park – the Ride”. Here, you can experience a trip amid the terrifying dinosaurs, live from the movie trilogy and coming ‘real’ in front of you as you escape being a meal of the ferocious T-Rex and take a tremendous stomach-churning heart-throbbing plunge in a raft from a height of over 80 feet.
Now if you are one of the countless millions who love the ogre, Shrek, dearly, then the Universal Studios Hollywood has on offer for you the “Shrek 4-D” ride, which can take you to the next dimension as you go through some really thrilling action.
