22nd December
The next day we sought out Universal Studios and proceeded to explore the dinosaur world of Jurassic Park. The mechanical dinosaurs weren't too unsettling but the 84 foot drop into the water at the end of the ride did reinforce the general state of theme park ride trauma in our two younger offspring. Try as we might we just could not avoid rides or shows that managed to scare the wits out of the younger two.
The Universal Studios tour was naively hoped to be less traumatic but with train wrecks, scary Egyptian mummies, earthquakes and giant apes in subways even the fake 30 year old rubber shark Bruce (from Jaws) managed to further traumatise our Jordie.
The crowds here were far less than at Disney; a welcome respite. Nic was also thrilled that we’d bought an all-you-can-eat food pass and proceeded to get his money’s worth. It soon paid for itself as food and drink prices at all these places were exorbitant and many times more than we found at local stores.
