The final day of my Los Angeles trip last April 2008 was spent in Universal City with Chester before I was dropped off at the airport and flew back to Manila that evening.

City Walk is just outside the main gate to Universal Studios in Los Angeles. The main focus of the mall is entertainment and dinning. Most of the shops sell tourist related products but they are fun to browse through.

We just got back from our trip to Universal Studios and we had a good time. Although it did rain half the time we were there. It rained off and on and while it was raining they shut down some of the rides. The cool thing was that when it rained we just went to the indoor stunt shows or went on the water rides. I figured we were already wet anyway so why not make it a little worse. What I didn't co

OMG so much fun, today was great and the kids enjoy it more, I don't know that it was cause it was Xmas but it was more fun to walk and relax, also help the fact that beside buying tickets we got also the Express Pass, which helps you cut in the line and just wait a few minutes or none. It cost some money but if you planing to visit Universal it worth every penny that Express Pass, we definitely come back here. You have characters everywhere for pictures a lot of stuff to see besides the rides. Around 3 we start going to the other theme park "Island of Adventures" also from Universal but with rides.
Bueno, este parque es genial. Cierto es que casi todas las atracciones son simulaciones y espectáculos en recintos cerrados. Nada de montañas rusas a lo grande que se puedan ver desde fuera. Pero también es cierto que todas son geniales y de una calidad muy alta. Como es lógico, todo está ambientado en películas de los estudios Universal: Sheik, El regreso de la momia, Men in black, E.T., Tiburón, y otras que no voy a nombrarlas todas. Pero también es cierto, que aparentemente no serán muy espectaculares, pero he escuchado a la gente gritar como en ningún otro sitio. Y en mi humilde opinión la atracción del Regreso de la Momia, es la mejor, por los decorados, por las sorpresas, por bien que está hecho todo. Y porque se mueve en un ambiente oscuro que es genial, no recuero cuantas veces repetimos. Pero siempre estaba hasta arriba de gente y al final todos me miraban con extrañeza. Mientras todos gritaban, yo reía. Que le voy hacer, cosas de los nervios. Vis

According to a report by German site Heise Online, movie production giant Universal Studios "stepped out" of their exclusive HD-DVD deal with Toshiba. This rumored information, spilled through a press conference held by Blu-Ray advocates Pioneer, also came with a mention that Universal was the last of the exclusive HD-DVD format supporters in Hollywood.Major publishing giants Paramount and Warner also stepped down from the HD-DVD exclusive agreement with Toshiba, some time before Universal followed suit. It was publicly announced that Universal would be supporting the HD-DVD format back in January, but following this development coming from the pro-Blu-Ray camp, Universal might have chosen to stay neutral in the HD format wars.And if this development is of any consequence, it might give Sony a level battlefield with Toshiba in vying for domination of the future HD movie format. As of publishing, Universal has yet to officially confirm or deny these claims made by Pioneer.Technorati Tag
Rumor has it that Universal Studios Florida is in final negotiations to bring a Harry Potter section to their Orlando theme park.
Please say it IS so.
Universal Studios Florida is finalizing terms to bring a type of “Harry Potter World” to its Orlando resort, according to Deadline Hollywood Daily, which states that the entire themed area would be at a previously unused portion of the amusement park.
There’s been no official world from Universal or from Warner Brothers, which holds the film rights to the franchise, but if the deal goes through it would be the first Harry Potter theme park attraction.
Ooh, what would be in Harry Potter World? Not much if it’s only a portion of the park, because let’s face it, the Harry Potter universe could be an entire theme park by itself. Maybe even more than one park.
Here’s some of my ideas (Universal, feel free to send me a big, fat check for these brilliant concepts):
