Universal Studios

Last week Mike and I finally went to Universal Studios (he got me tickets for Christmas), it was also his birthday, the big 3-0.


It was actually a very beautiful day, this is the view out toward Burbank, you can see all of the backlot area.


Look its the Bates Motel!


And the model ship from Peter Jacksons King Kong



Oh no, a flood...


Look at the lovely city streets...


A little effects show based on The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift


A vehicle from the movie Serenity, based on the awesome show Firefly


This was one of the most amazing sets, its from the movie War of the Worlds. They actually took a real plane and cut it up to make this set.


We saw all the live action shows including Waterworld which was one of the most impressive.



Unfortunately the Simpsons Ride was not open yet but we did get to go on all the other rides, some multiple times because there park was not crowded. I also took several videos, it was a fun day.
