T he Hollywood area of Universal Studios extends out to the right from the front lot and
entrance. Many of the services for the park including ATMs and maps are located
here, along with lots of shopping opportunities.
As you enter the park, you should proceed
to your immediate left. It is here that you can get tickets for a second complementary day
at Universal.
The most popular ride in this section is Terminator
2 3-D. You'll easily be able to find it at rope drop, simply follow the crowd.
Unlike some attractions like Kongfrontation, T2 delivers. It's a fabulous mixture of
live-action, 3-D effects and an exciting plot. It's guaranteed to make very small children
cry, so you know it's good.
Another main attraction in this area is the
Gory, Gruesome & Grotesque Horror Make-up Show. This show is a big
hit with teens and fans of splatter flicks. All the bloody secrets of these films are
exposed as Rick Baker, the professional make-up artist who won an Oscar for his work in An
American Werewolf in London demonstrates some of his techniques. You'll find out how they
create gunshot wounds, stab wounds, severed limbs and all things gory. You won't see
horror films the same way.
If you'd like to see a different kind of
red, check out Lucy: A Tribute. Adults and the many fans of Lucille
Ball will appreciate this attraction, but most of it will be lost on others. Skip it on
the first trip.
