We went to Universal Studios yesterday. We figured the boys would have a better time than at Disney (??? what kind of logic were we using?) I do have to say that the Hulk rollercoaster was AWESOME! So was the other big one that I can't remember the name of... at the other park... ummm ummm ummm... ROCKIT! That's the one - VERY intense. MIB was fun - shot a lot of aliens. Got to meet the Grinch (although the boys were on another ride and Kelly wouldn't pose with him... grump! LOL) 
I did get the boys to pose with Wolverine (didn't take much convincing - he's pretty much cool!!) and we ALMOST got a pic with Captain America... but he had to leave. sigh...
We got to wear funky nerd 3D glasses on the Spiderman ride. The special effects were great but it made me motion sick... blech! :)
Harry Potter wasn't open... it opens next week, I think. :( They also had the Dueling Dragons ride shut down - will reopen as part of the HP stuff.
The Jurassic Park River Adventure ride wasn't open either, so Justin & Jackson just stood in the splash zone to get wet while they tested the ride.
Even though the boys are all too old for us to play in the Dr. Seuss area, Jackson did get a Cat-in-the-Hat hat - such a cutie!
All-in-all it was a pretty good day. Not a bad place... but Universal is NOT Disney. Not by a long shot. You'd think that would have been obvious. :)

My youngest child would just flip if he got to have his picture taken with Wolverine. He's asked for Wolverine razor gloves for his birthday....it's not happening, especially since he will just be 6, and I prefer to have my furniture intact.
