Fuckin loved it haha. Diagon alley was such a good set up with so many iconic things from the books every where. Was very tempted to buy a wand. There was a ride there which u out on 3d classes which was really cool. Actually looked like stuff was coming at you. Also tried so butter beer!. We caught the hogwarts express which was neat it took you too the other park where u hop off ar hogsmeade which was really neat also. But the ride there was fucking brilliant. It was amazing. You actually felt like u were flying around hogwarts it was super cool. We lined up and done it again. We went to jurassic park after which was allright bit outdated but still ok. Done a few water rides and fee superhero themed ones. After universal we just went home and chilled out poolside with few beers.Read more
