How to get to Universal Studios Hollywood
There are several ways to get to Universal Studios Hollywood, but I recommend taking Uber rather than public transportation. It’s not easy to get around by public transportation in the US, and taking the LA subway can be a bit risky, so Uber is the best option.
If you are renting a car, it is best to avoid front gate parking. Front gate parking is quite expensive at $70 per day. If you use the general parking area, you can park for $30.
Introducing the best route
If you look at the map of Universal Studios Hollywood, you can see that it is largely divided into the Lower Lot and the Upper Lot. The two areas are connected by an escalator, but there is a considerable distance between them. So it is a good idea to plan your route carefully.
Upper Lot:
Harry Potter - The Forbidden Journey & Flight of the Hippogriff
The Simpsons Ride
Minions
Studio Tour
King Kong 360
Waterworld show
Lower Lot:
Mummy
Jurassic World
Transformer
Best routing tips:
Enter Universal Studios Hollywood - Harry Potter - Go to Lower Lot - Jurassic World - Transformers - Ride Mummy - Go to Upper Lot and ride the attraction
This is the best route to take. I definitely recommend starting with Nintendo World, then riding the big 3 attractions in the Lower Lot, and then going to see Harry Potter.
Introducing Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey
The most popular theme at Universal Studios Hollywood is definitely the World of Harry Potter. The attraction Harry Potter: The Forbidden Journey & the Hippogriff is also extremely popular.
Forbidden Journey is an attraction where you move like you are playing a Snitch game on a broomstick. It is not scary because it is a 3D attraction, but it is a thrilling attraction in its own way. If you go straight to Harry Potter with the open run, you can ride without waiting. Flight of the Hippogriff is a roller coaster, but it is not scary enough for children to ride. The best thing about the Hippogriff is that you can see the top of Hogwarts Castle while riding in a basket, which is the most attractive.
Harry Potter Next is Jurassic World
The next place to visit after the World of Harry Potter is Jurassic World. Here, you can ride the Jurassic World Ride, which is similar to the flume ride. It's not just about riding a boat, but there's a story behind it, and the story is really interesting.
We're on a boat tour around the park, and the boat takes a wrong turn, goes inside a tall building, and then suddenly descends to avoid T-REX's attack. Also, recently, the story has changed to T-REX and I-REX fighting, and the boat suddenly descends to avoid them. This story is even more fun!
You absolutely have to ride Transformers
If you've seen Jurassic World, next up is Transformers and Mummy. You can meet the famous Bumblebee Optimus, and it's a 3D attraction that makes you feel like you're participating in a lively fight. Rather than being scary, it's a completely immersive attraction that lets you experience true reality.
After that, you have to go to the Revenge of the Mummy Ride! It's similar to Revenge of the Mummy, but it's a fast boat ride. You can experience a sense of speed(?) that's beyond your expectations.
Let's go meet the cute minions
The 3D concept Minion ride 'Despicable Me Minion Mayhem' that even kids can ride in a place that looks like a Minion castle is the kids' favorite attraction. It's not full 3D, but it gives an immersive 3D movie feeling and is more fun than expected. It's especially cute when the Minions say hello at the end of the ride.
The Waterworld show is a choice you won't regret.
Waterworld is a stunt show at Universal Studios Hollywood and Singapore, where you can see how war scenes in movies are made. You will see amazing sights such as flashy gunfights, fast-paced action, jet ski chases, and even airplane explosions.
