June 9, 2018 Trip Report

Story

Tara and I went to Universal Studios on the return leg of our anniversary trip to Hawaii. We got to the park early and were some of the first people in the park. We raced to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter to ride The Forbidden Journey, but the ride wasn't working. We walked through the castle and admired the set, then we went over and rode the Flight of the Hippogriff. We watched the wand selection show at Olivanders and walked through the sweet shop.

After the rest of the park opened, we rode every ride at least once and watched every show. Our favorite show was definitely Water World although they were all good. We went down to the lower lot and did all the rides down there and had lunch. Then when we went back to the upper lot, Tara rode the escalators and I raced up the stairs. I barely beat her, and my legs were Jell-o by the top.

We went on the studio tour through the lots and saw some fun Jurassic World presentations. It was great trip, and we had a blast the whole day.
