My sister got us 2 day passes in Universal Studios Hollywood. (Thank ya sis!!! <3 ) It has been 7 years since I last visited. So I was really excited to check out what new attractions they had added in the theme park. Marge and Homer Simpson greeted the guests with a photo op. Of course the Frog and I didn’t pass that up. They are promoting the newest ride in the park which is the Krustyland ride that was where Back to the Future ride used to be. Gonna miss that time traveling car of Doc Brown. 
There wasn’t much of a queue because it was a week day. TV screens showing a story that the whole Simpsons family are going to try out the newest ride in Krustyland in which Krusty the Clown got the land from Doc Brown. On another note, Side Show Bob escaped prison and wants to extract revenge from the Simpsons. Thus the ride began with Side Show Bob trying to off the Simpsons family. While we the rider went along for the wild ride. We headed next to The Mummy ride. A very short roller coaster ride in the dark. Then to Jurassic Park wherein we got chased by escaped dinosaurs and got splash around in our boat trying to get away from them. Since we got a little wet from that ride, we decided to go to the behind the scenes of Backdraft. The host told us how they try to control the amount of fire from that movie and gave a demonstration. The heat from the fire did dry us off quickly. After that we took a tour on how the special effect are done on the small and big screen. Up next is the Terminator 3D and the Shrek 4D show. By the time we’re done, its time to watch the Live action Waterworld stunt show. Lots of splashing and explosive effects where done that the Frog really enjoyed it a lot! We almost finished the whole of Universal and opted to go to Universal City walk which is right outside of the theme park.
