LOS ANGELES.

Universal Studios.

For theme park thrills, this should be your first port of call.

Universal Studios is closing down soon so you’d best get in quick, although there is really only one reason to go here: The Jurassic Park ride. It’s the best ride in the world, mainly if Jurassic Park is your favourite film of all time (as is the case with me). It’s also worth doing the Simpsons  and Transformers rides, and the Terminator 2 experience is great too – it’s a 3D ride straight out of the 90s, complete with bad actors playing Sarah Conner and Arnie.
