Universal 2

Join Us
Here I am queuing for a ride at Universal Studios for the new film Despicable Me.  It's very, very hot.

This is Universal's big rollercoaster - Rip Rocket Ride.  You can see the carriages in the background just about to go over the hump.  That climb is absolutely vertical and you really feel that you are going to slide out the back of the seat. There's an onboard camera which videos you as you scream your way round the ride (or hold your hands up all the way looking cool like Jack and Ems); Jack and Ems sat behind us and you can see on their video that they were avoiding coins falling out of Richard's pocket as we make that initial climb.

And here's Jack in front of another favourite of ours - The Hulk Roller Coaster.

Universal has the best rides - amazing 3D - Spiderman, Transformers, Shrek; great simulators - Simpsons; rollercoasters and the shooting game, Men In Black.
