I thought the exterior of the building was fun and creative. The waiting area was decorated to resemble the inside of Gru’s home. You start the experience by standing in a holding area and watching an adorable clip of Gru and his family. My family found this part very [...]

As we approached the ride, my kids were excited when we encountered a large figure of Optimus Prime towering over the ride entrance. We grabbed our 3D glasses and jumped into our Autobot vehicle ready to help our transformer friends make the world a safer place. Let me start by saying Universal Studios definitely know what they are doing when it comes to simulation rides. The level of detail that went into this [...]
