PirateTinkerbell Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 So this spring break (March 12-17) I'm going to Knotts and Universal. I LOVE Knotts, especially Silver Bullet! I'm also so excited because I'm going to Universal for the first time! (I spent all my time as a kid at Disneyland and Knotts) (seriously, I did ) Does anybody know what hours Knotts is open on March 15? Also, is it possible to go to Universal in one day, or should I go for two? Thanks!
Gnome Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 http://www.knotts.com/park/guest/hours.shtml#march Its generally a good idea to search on the site for this information as its always there. Anyways, have fun when you do go. I reccommend going the week when the park will most likely be dead. This will deliver the best Knotts experience.
PirateTinkerbell Posted January 27, 2007 Author Posted January 27, 2007 Thanks! Yeah, I love going to Knotts! I haven't been back since last July, so I'm excited to go again! The small problem is: I checked their website and they don't have a March calendar up yet...
jamesdillaman Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 ^ Try the link above, also don't plan on riding Xcellerator, as it appears it will be closed for rehab while you are there. Besides that, have fun. -james dillaman
SharkTums Posted January 27, 2007 Posted January 27, 2007 You don't need more than a day at Universal Hollywood.
Gnome Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 ^ well, seeing as how the studio tour is about an hour long I think that's a bit of stretch
Jeezus Juice Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 ^Yeah, like he said, an hour should do it.
knottslover77 Posted January 28, 2007 Posted January 28, 2007 I don't know what day the 15th is, but Monday to friday the hours are usually 10am to 6pm,10am to 10pm on Saterday, and on Sunday 10am to 7pm. --Jay
BarryH Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 ^ don't think USH's Mummy ride is anything spectacular, since USF's version is so much better. Then again, the backwards part is kind of neat.
laqueefa Posted January 29, 2007 Posted January 29, 2007 ^ don't think USH's Mummy ride is anything spectacular, since USF's version is so much better. Then again, the backwards part is kind of neat. what are the diff's between the two??
Gnome Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 ^ Its REALLY GOOD. Like one of the best rides ever built good.
ginzo Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 I recently went to Universal Hollywood. I don't recommend it. There's basically nothing there. Orlando's Revenge of the Mummy is 100 times better. It's not worth the outrageous admission price, and you'll only get one credit.

Orlando's Revenge of the Mummy is 100 times better. It's not worth the outrageous admission price, and you'll only get one credit. thanks for the advice. but can anyone tell me what the actual diff's are? is it subtle theme'ing? is it a different track? better animatronics? help a brutha understand!
Wes Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 ^ All of the above. Completely different layouts, Florida has awesome airtime. Completely different stories and theming: Better effects (real fire!), way better animatronics, the "fake" ending... The only downside to Florida's is that it lacks a real backwards section, but everything else makes up for it in spades.
SharkTums Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Florida's has real fire... Florida's has a story... Florida's has a cool fake ending... Hollywood's doesn't. Technically Hollywood's has a backwards section and Florida's really doesn't...but the backwards adds nothing.
laqueefa Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 thanks all, i guess now i have to save my money for Florida. i had a trip planned and everything but it got canceled on a count of touring. I WISH MY TOUR WAS GOING TO FLORIDA!
ginzo Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 I also think the coaster part in Orlando is far superior. You can get a pop of airtime in the back seat when you go over the launch hill. Hollywood's version doesn't launch up a hill, and thus has no airtime. And, I agree with Elissa in that the backwards section is pointless. Then again, I'm pretty much against backwards riding in general.
BarryH Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 I think USH is good for a visit if you've never been. The studio tour is pretty good. USF is a lot better, though.

USF is a lot better, though. ive been before but it was back when Back to the Future first opened. i havent been since...still worth it (btw id be getting discounted tickets through work, not full price)???
ebl Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 USH Mummy = Credit. USF Mummy = Fun. So there ya go. Eric
Jew Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 To be fair, USH's Mummy isn't a bad ride...it's just not even close to the best ride. There's a lot better and a lot worse out there. It's still fun, but don't go in expecting anything amazing. That pretty much sums up USH too. Nothing that makes you say "WOW," but you can spend a hassle free day (or half a day, or whatever you chose) and still have a fun on some decent attractions and see some decent shows. But at least Hollywood has the better control room, offices, and breakroom...
JT3000 Posted January 30, 2007 Posted January 30, 2007 Florida's has a story... Good luck figuring out what it is.
