Universal Studios Hollywood Visitors Guide

Studio Tour - a guided tram tour of Universal Studios back lot and some sound stages with special effects including fire, explosions, and a giant gorilla. There are times when the tram is rocked aggressively. Tour varies slightly depending on what filming is in progress. Some effects may be scary for young children. Motion sickness risk - low.

Jurassic Park the Ride (height restriction 46") - float along a river lined with prehistoric reptiles who spit water at you, then plunge down a steep waterfall. You will get drenched. Rain ponchos are available for $1. Extra water is added in summer. Lower Lot. Motion sickness risk - low to moderate.

Revenge of the Mummy (height restriction 48") - a fast 30 second roller coaster ride forward and backward in the dark with effects from The Mummy movies. Lower Lot. Motion sickness risk - high.

The Simpsons Ride (height restriction 40") - replaced Back to the Future in May 2008. Another virtual ride, it uses the same "people pens," staging rooms and rocking cars as the previous ride, all retooled as part of the Krustyland theme park in fictional Springfield. The shaking of the car makes you feel like you're racing right along with your Simpsons friends through the animated world projected on an 80 foot dome. Upper Lot. Motion sickness risk - moderate to high.

Shrek 4D - a virtual ride in moving theater seats with strobe, fog and water effects. There are stationary seats in the back for motion-sensitive people. Upper Lot. Motion sickness risk - moderate to high.
