The studio tours are just the beginning. You still have the entire Universal Studios theme park to play in. Attractions include:

The Special Effects Stages.
Jump into the action of creating the special effects of movie's most amazing illusions. It's a brand new experience that takes you behind the magic of The Scorpion King, Shrek, Jurassic Park, Gladiator, U-571, The Mummy and other hits.

Jurassic Park, The Ride.
Vicious Raptors are hiding in the corners and venomous Spitters are waiting for you to get in range. Stay on course or this cruise could take a turn for the worse, putting you right in the path of a rampaging T-Rex and down an 80 foot waterfall! Okay, sure, you know it's not real but you will still be pressed back in your seat. This one may be a bit much for younger kids.

Terminator 2: 3D
Even standing on line for this attraction is fun, thanks to the clever Cyberdyne 'marketing' videos played for you as you wait. There are some genuiley funny moments in these videos. The laughter (yes, I said laughter) continues inside as first you interact with a sarcastic lightup marquee and then are introduced to Cyberdyne's communications/PR person. The actor's performance in this role is so Saccharin that anyone who has worked for a large corporartion will laugh out loud.

But the laughs end and the real excitement starts the moment you enter Cyberdyne's conference room. State- of-the-art 3d effects are combined with live actors and animatronics, all set against a James Cameron directed Terminator mini-movie. A must visit!
