📍 Route strategy
The opening time of the park is 10 o'clock, and only the upper park area is open for public play. The opening time of the Lower Park is 11 o'clock, so if you go to the Lower Park at 10:45 (including Transformers and Mummy Ride), you can quickly enjoy the two amusement facilities within 5 minutes of waiting time! The rest of the time will be focused on exploring the Shangyuan area!
📍 Lower Park - Transformers Ride
As soon as we arrived at the park, we saw Kobwen, who was so cool to welcome us. This game is a 4D roller coaster, mainly in the form of a story, and the level of excitement is not high. If you can defeat your enemies with Kobwen and the Hornets, friends who love Transformers must not miss it!
📍 Lower Park - Mummy Ride
As one of the few roller coasters in the park, Mummy Ride is arguably the most exciting amusement facility in the entire park. In line with the theme of the mummy movie, the majestic decoration is like being in ancient Egypt, and the level of excitement is the highest in the whole park!
📍 Upper Park - Harry Potter Zone Harry Potter
Entering Harry Potter's park is like being in a magical world, with trains docked nearby, castles towering in the distance, and Sirius's seal! There are various Harry Potter stores in the park, which of course includes the popular magic wand. In addition to regular magic wands, magic wands with mana are also sold to allow visitors to cast spells at several locations in the park!
Flight of the Hippogriff
There are two amusement facilities in the Harry Potter area. One of them, Flight of the Hippogriff, is a roller coaster for kids. Basically, all the kids and parents are waiting. After almost half an hour of queuing, the results came to an end in less than a minute, and there was no centrifugal force along the way. So if you don't come with kids, you don't have to spend time in line.
Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey
The second attraction is Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, which is highly recommended for all Harry Potter fans! I saw so many detailed decorations during the queuing process, which made me feel at home. It's the same story format. Harry Potter led us to fly everywhere on a sweeper, lifting and falling full of centrifugal force. The process was very exciting!
🍴 Three Broomsticks
Although there are many restaurants in the park that serve food and drink, the only recommendation is Three Broomsticks in the Harry Potter area. Not too hungry, we ordered a fish & chips for kids ($6.99) and a glass of Butterbeer ($6.99). Needless to say, the Butterbeer here was really delicious. This drink has no alcohol, and is like the sweetness of cream with a sweet milky flavor. After recharging our energy, we set out again!
📍 Shangyuan District - Assen Family Simpsons Ride
At the back of Harry Potter Park, you'll reach the area of the Assen Clan. Although this roller coaster is for children to play with, of course, you should go and take a group photo with Homer and Mie! Looking at the happy expression on Homer's face, Mie on the other side looked very dissatisfied! The staff here are very friendly, and they all do their best to meet our requirements.
📍 Studio Tour
The Studio Tour is located next to the Assen Family Park. It is a guided car tour of about 1 hour. It takes us to many famous movie studios, and many more places for us to experience firsthand! This can be said to be a landmark must-visit location for the entire Universal Studios. Let's take in the sights such as Fast and Furious, Jurassic Park, and Big White Mountain, and learn about the shooting equipment and special effects behind it. In the park, I can also see shows that will be recorded on set that day, and I feel closer to Hollywood. Every moment of the trip was so much fun, an experience you'll never forget!
📍 Shangyuan District - Walking Dead Road
Besides the Studio Tour being unique to Universal Studios Hollywood, the Walking Dead Haunted House can only be found here. In the process of queuing, I was able to feel the different atmosphere of the deserted hospital and the flashing lights. The haunted house is about 3 minutes away. Since they are leaving in small groups, the chance of being threatened while standing behind is less likely!
📍 Universal Citywalk
After playing at Universal Studio until it closed, it wasn't dark at all, and I was so excited! Fortunately, there is Universal Citywalk right next to the entrance of the cinema. There are all kinds of shops and restaurants. In addition to boutiques, sports stores, clothing stores, etc., you can also buy products from the park here! We brought the oversized dumpling we bought from the park and continued to enjoy it here!
As night falls, Universal Citywalk's neon lights add to the atmosphere, and the fountain also jets a column of water that gradually changes color, which is very eye-catching. After visiting all the stores here, I finally had a fulfilling day. I was very energetic all day at Universal Studios Hollywood. It was the first time I had such a close encounter with the studio and the special effects, and it was definitely a must-see attraction in Los Angeles!
