If you are looking for fun, thrills, and adventure,
Universal Studios is the place to go. There are rides
that will thrill you and rides that will scare you
senseless. From caves to the air, there is something
to please all of the thrill seekers out there.
Start your day with Revenge of the Mummy. This is
a psychological thrill ride that is unlike anything you
have ever experienced. This is a roller coaster ride in
total darkness. Traveling at a very high speed, you
will have many terrifying creatures jumping out at you.
If your heart is still beating and you think you can
handle more, your next stop should be Jurassic Park:
The Ride.
Jurassic Park may seem a bit tame after Revenge
of the Mummy, but it is still great fun, and there are
still many thrills. This ride entails you riding a raft
which is slowly being cranked up. Dinosaurs of
various breeds appear out of nowhere while you are
going up. Suddenly, you and your raft are falling
quickly downhill, and the ride ends with a huge
splash that leaves you soaked! Make sure you
bring a change of clothes, because you will want
to move on to Back to the Future.

When planning your Universal Studios Tours
vacation, you may wish to stay at a hotel that is
within walking distance of the park. There are only
two hotels within walking distance, and they are
both world-class hotels that are highly
recommended.
The Universal Sheraton Hotel is located at 333
Universal Hollywood Drive. The hotel has served
visitors to Universal Studios since 1969, and it is
known as the Hotel of the Stars. The hotel literally
sits on the back lot of the studio.
Featuring 436 guest rooms and suites, the hotel
often has many famous guests. There is no telling
who you might run into! Although it is in walking
distance of Universal Studios, the hotel staff believe
that everyone should be treated like a star, and
therefore, complimentary tram rides to the park are
offered.

While visiting Universal Studios Tours, you should
pay a visit to the Hollywood Ticket Outlet booth. You
can do more than purchase tickets to great shows;
you can also request free tickets for many of the
shows that are currently being filmed. Note that the
shows are limited to the ones that allow studio
audiences.
There are other services available at the Hollywood
Ticket Outlet booth as well. These include upgraded
park tickets, visitor information, and foreign currency
exchange. The Hollywood Ticket Outlet is located by
the Blues Brothers stage inside the park, and it is
open during the same days and hours that the park
is open.

Universal Studios is a great deal of fun – for most
people. However there are some who simply will
not enjoy a day at Universal Studios Tours –
young children specifically. If you are planning a
vacation to Universal Studios, you should take
the height requirements into consideration – or
you could end up having a miserable time.
First, you must be forty-eight inches tall to ride
Revenge of the Mummy. You must be forty six
inches tall to ride Jurassic Park, and you must be
at least forty inches tall to ride Back to the Future.
If you or your child do not meet these height
requirements, you will not be allowed on the ride.
There is a measuring stick that is used in the
queue for each of these attractions.
