iCoaster Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 I'm going to be going to Universal Studios Hollywood on Sunday, How busy has the park been during the summer? What is Revenge of the Mummy and JP: The ride like?
obeygiant Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 I'm going to be going to Universal Studios Hollywood on Sunday, How busy has the park been during the summer? What is Revenge of the Mummy and JP: The ride like? Well, it is summer, so expect some crowds...Jurassic Park is really similar to IOA's, but with a cooler effect at the end...Hollywoods mummy, I have to say, is not as good as Floridas...But, it's still the mummy and it's a good coaster.
sfmmFREAK Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 i whent on a sunday a week or two ago, and it wasn't terribly crowded. and the lines move really fast.
Loser_nerd Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 I thought ush's mummy was actually pretty good. If you head to the lower lot first you can get quite a few rides on the mummy and jurassic park with little or no wait. Other wise just use the single rider lines the rest of the day and it will be a breeze.
JT3000 Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Well, it is summer, so expect some crowds...Jurassic Park is really similar to IOA's, but with a cooler effect at the end... They end the same way...
obeygiant Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 I mean the opening water fall effect at the end...IOA's doesn't have that.
Jew Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 ^Yup. No waterfall diverter in Florida. And expect 25-45 minute waits if you don't get down to the lower lot before noon.
3rdShiftCM Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 JP at IOA didn't get the water diverter because it has always been a trouble plagued effect. JP at USH had so many issues when it first opened, that being one of them.
methylene Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 Are there any restrictions on USH's "Front of the line pass"? My wife and I are considering doing the VIP tour and it comes with a front of the line pass. (I know they also offer this level ticket without the VIP tour). Matt
arrowfanman Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 Why are the supervisors always in such bitter moods?
twisted_propaganda Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 I hated Mummy. What a bore for such a long wait. Take the single rider line. With 30 seconds and Adobe I drew this: Follow the yellow path, ask the staff member (blue dot) to take the single rider line.

BarryH Posted July 22, 2006 Posted July 22, 2006 If you can swing it, do the VIP tour. During the studio tram tour, you get your own tram, so you don't have to sit next to many smelly tourists. You also get to stop at 3 points along the tour: Universal offices and the Foley Studio, the prop department, and a sound stage to see whatever is shooting at the moment (we saw the "Crossing Jordan" sets). If you do the VIP tour, do it on a weekday because most of the crew are there. I went on a Saturday and we talked to a Foley artist, but we didn't get to speak to anyone in the prop department. I heard the people in the prop department are fun to speak with. You also get special VIP access to the rides.
