Mummy and dad at the Universal Studios


Girls loved the Mummy ride at the Universal Studios. Last time Kia did not dare to ride yet but now she rode it 8 times. It is quite awesome with the flaming ceiling and everything. We had already decided to go on Saturday because it was the Mardi Gras at Universal. Blondie was performing and there was a great parade just before the concert. We also bought the ticket which entitled to bypass the lines in all attractions except the newest ones. This was worth the money. We could just go through all attractions first and then spend the rest of the day strolling around the park. Much better system than Disney's Fastpass.
The newest roller coaster Rip Ride Rockit looked worse than it really was. Before it took off, each rider could select his favourite music and listen to it while screaming. Nowadays you can buy your picture in the end of the ride but here, the whole ride was videotaped and made into a music video. Let's see if I can put it here after we get back home. Rip Ride Rockit had long queues on Saturday so we decided to wake up early on Sunday and take the ride then. Unfortunately it was broken in the morning so we had to wait before we could ride it. Anyway, the wait was shorter than on Saturday. . We all preferred Universal over Disney.

On Sunday we drove all the way down to Key Largo in search for a warmer weather. Which we actually found, but it was raining.
