After taking the Hogwarts Express from Islands of Adventure over to Universal Studios we all went on Rip, Ride, Rockit...following a long delay due to inclement weather in the area. We watched Universal’s Superstar Parade and had something to eat before experiencing the intense but enjoyable Transformers The Ride 3D followed by Jimmy Fallon’s Race Through New York. For our final ride of the day, we decided on Harry Potter & The Escape From Gringott’s...which had experienced technical difficulties on our previous visit, so this would be our first proper ride on Diagon Alley’s main attraction. We were all impressed by the ‘multi-dimensional thrill ride’ and thought that it was a fun way to end our day. After leaving Universal Studios we made our way around to The Toothsome Chocolate Emporium where we treated ourselves to deliciously indulgent milkshakes!

Traveler Notes
After spending the day in Islands of Adventure we made our way over to Universal Studios where we really enjoyed Transformers : The Ride and Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts... especially after taking advantage of the really short wait times in the single rider lines. We grabbed something to eat and watched the Superstar Parade from outside Mel’s Drive-In before incurring the Revenge of The Mummy...after which we reminisced about our first experience of the ride when it was a new attraction back in 2004! We ended on a high with ‘adrenaline pumping and music thumping’ on the towering Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit rollercoaster before heading out of the park and into Universal City Walk for the rest of the night.
