For our second day at Universal we visited the other park, Universal Studios Florida. We had better weather on Sunday with sunny skies and no rain. However, the park was still not very crowded and the longest we waited in line for a ride was 20 minutes.
This Universal park had some crazy roller coasters, which of course we didn't go on. Most of the rides we enjoyed in this park were motion simulator rides based on movies involving 3D technology. We enjoyed the Despicable Me 3D simulator (twice), the Shrek 4D ride, and the Transformers 3D ride (twice). We also went on the ET adventure, the Simpsons 3D simulator ride, the Men In Black shoot out and the movie Disaster ride.
We saw two shows at this park, one involving animals and the other about special effects used in movies. The animal show included cats, dogs, birds, otters, pigs - all kinds of animals doing tricks.
The minions were everywhere! The Despicable Me ride was one of our favorites, and who can't help but laugh with the jokes and funny pranks of the minions?
We took a break from the theme park around 5:00 and went back to Citywalk for a game of miniature golf. Amelia chose the Alien course and we both agreed that this was one of the nicest mini golf courses we have played on.
The photo below shows the last hole, hole 18. After putting the ball on the ground near the mouth opening, the ball traveled through the snake's body towards the end where a portion of the path revolved in a circle. It was tricky to hit the ball from a stationary path to a moving target, but this made it more fun.
After mini golf we returned to the park for a few more rides and the fireworks show. This is from the photo booth outside of the Despicable Me ride. More minions!
