And then there's The Simpsons Ride, based on the long-running television series and featuring the show's classic humor and characters. Thrill-seekers should check out the "Revenge of the Mummy: The Ride" roller coaster and the 80-foot raft plunge on "Jurassic Park: The Ride."

Take the studio tour to get a behind-the-scenes look at the workings of Universal Studios. In the tour you'll pass by 35 sound stages and may even see some productions in action. You will also get a glimpse of movie sets and props from movies like Psycho (the Bates Motel), and King Kong.
If you plan on going to Universal Studios at least twice within the year check out the Annual Passes. Sometimes you can even get a pass for only a couple bucks more than a one-day ticket!
If you like a good scare then you need to go to Halloween Horror Nights. Who better to scare the heck out of you than the professionals in Hollywood? This is an event for 13 days in October you won't want to miss, but is certainly for a mature audience only. Includes haunted attractions, show and rides, roaming scare-actors, and more. www.halloweenhorrornights.com
