Universal Studios




We spent Friday 9th July at another quintessentially LA attraction: Universal Studios. It was great fun. We got to see the 'backlot' where there were old film sets. The photos show the sets from the crashed plane scene in 'War of the Worlds', Mr Bean's car and the travel bookshop from 'Notting Hill'.

We loved the Simpsons Ride. At one point Lisa Simpson screams out that we are all about to be killed and Homer Simpson assures her that the amusement park won't let anyone be killed while there's still a dollar in their pocket. How true! :-)

My favourite photo is the one below, taken on the backlot. In one photo it shows the Bates Motel from 'Psycho', Whoville from 'The Grinch who Stole Christmas' behind it, and up on the hill, the scary house from practically every horror movie made by Universal Studios. Ellie and I watched an episode of 'Jonas LA' on Disney Channel last night and it was filmed on all those three sets. Cool!
