US Trip Part V, Los Angeles
We didn’t visit much of Los Angeles, there was just a 10-minutes bus stop in the center of the city.
Our highlight of the day was in Universal Studios Hollywood, the theme park. For a long time, I didn’t visit such a place, though in Beijing, there are some places for this kind of adventure, anyway I just didn’t visit anyone of them.
A wall decoration at the downtown concert center.
By the time we arrived, we were pretty early, directly we headed for The Simpsons Ride, waiting time was estimated at 15 minutes, not bad. My first ride here, proved as the best as well, as I finished most all the different games, and the ride is long enough in time, 15 minutes waiting is worthy for a reward of about 7-8 minutes fun ride.
Good thing in this visit: no specific tickets needed for any of the venues, once you got the ticket, it is the through ticket, but bad thing is the queues for waiting are pretty long, waiting time will be shown at each of the entrances.
This bus trip around the park saves lots of walking time, and plus I don’t think some of the place are open for visitors walking about. It stops at some sites or famous studios, the guide told us some of the movies taken on the site, the Lcd screen in the mean time shows the movie, pretty efficient job!
Fire and flooding are just shown by our side, just stay in the bus, it is very safe.
This was very impressive for me, as our bus just arrived in a motel, this gentleman was already waiting for us, a pretty cool guy, he just went out of a room carried a dead body of a woman, and put it on a pickup. As our driver drove very slowly, we can see this cool guy in a short distance, he seemed was thinking about something, before he just took a big knife from one of his inside pockets, and then he just turned to us, our bus was moving very very slowly, but he walked towards us quick and quick…I was in the last row of the bus, you can see he close he was, I heard some shriek from our bus… ha ha ha, we all knew this is just a show…but I like this part the best!
After that, we past by a site, where an airplane seems crashed here hours ago, pretty real, we were told an real plane was split here just for a movie.
This must be some TV soap operas, sorry, but I just don’t know much about it.
The Jurassik Park Ride said to be the most exciting part in the whole park, and I was waiting in line for about 1 hour, and just had a 3 minutes ride!
Other place close by is The Mummy Ride, I didn’t wait for long, they open special entrance for singles, to cut in and assigned seats whenever there are some spare seats available.
Mafia guy from Brooklyn.
There are some dressed up actors walking around the park, but for all of them, I like this cool guy the best.
By the time about 3 pm, we left the park and went into the downtown area of Hollywood.
I don’t need to tell who is this lady, do I?
And I saw M.J in the street!
