On Sunday I had a day off as I switched with Clare as she was going away. Me and Amy headed to Universal Studios again as it closed early the other day. It was raining when we got up so lots of other ppl who were gonna come didn't but we didn't want to stay home so got the I-Ride. By the time we got there the rain had stopped and there was no waits for the rides it was so good. We got food and then went on Men in Black which is loads of fun but my score was soo low and I get really competitive on that ride! Then we did the Horror and Makeup show and the lady doing was hilarious, so many jokes she said you'd never get away with at Disney! On the way out they pulled us into a magic show which was actually really good and all the tricks they did you could buy. There was one where the guy levitated a coin and then if you gave him a note he'd make it move in the air. We could not work out how he did it. I really wanted to buy it and do it at work to amuse guests but then you could't really tell them 'yea, buy it at Universal!' There was also a flaming wallet too that you could make catch fire.
We went on Despicable Me - 'it's so fluffy i'm gonna die!' which used to be Jimmy Neutron and way before that the World of Hannah Barbera. The rides pretty much the same but in 3D and I really enjoyed it. We did The Mummy as that was a walk on and then Disaster. We also did Twister as Amy had never done it. Unfortunately Jaws has gone now as there building more Harry Potter stuff. Last time I came out here the rollercoaster Rip Ride Rockit wasn't operating so finally I got to ride it. We got lucky and were at the front plus it was only a 5 minute queue. It's really weird cuz it's only a lap bar but it's huge. You get to select a track to play as you ride it so I had NERD Rockstar - reminded me of friends back home! When you come off and look at your ride photo they also film you so you can watch a video of yourself. Ours was hilarious and note to self a dress is not good on a roller coaster! We then decided to find funny ride pics of ppl and watch their videos, we found some hilarious ones and then this group walked by and realized we were watching their brother so joined in watching and laughing with us - coulda been awkward! We also did Shrek4D and tried on loads of ears/hats etc in the gift store. There were cast members advertising some pay per view wrestling that was being filmed and we could watch for free but we wanted to see the firework show which is new. When they said Hulk Hogan was gonna be there we got ridiculously excited and decided to stop by after the fireworks! The firework show was really good it was celebrating 100 years of movies and they had loads of good movie clips playing on water screens.
When it finished we headed to the soundstage where the wrestling was and we ended up having the best time! All the seats were full so we were stood down around the ring and it was hilarious. Two guys were wrestling and its so fake its funny, Then loads of men jumped in the ring and there was this fake 'riot' and then the Hulk came out! It was hilarious he was like 'someone call the police, so and so is hurt!' And then later they had this video play where the 'police' showed up and spoke to Hogan. Later the hottest guy came out to wrestle and he was a fellow Brit. Me and Amy were cheering him on but everyone was booing him so we didn't want to be too loud there seemed to be a lot of hard core fans there. Amy tweeted him later to show our support lol We would have stayed longer but didn't want to miss the last I-Ride home and missioned it to the stop in like 15 mins. Turned out to be such a fun day!
Hulk Hogan!
