The aniticpation is over, the new revamped ride is now open and it is better than the old one. Also you can enjoy delicious foods and drinks as well. However, that is not everything that is happening this summer at Universal Studios Hollywood.

Thank you Universal Studios for inviting us to enjoy a day at the park and be able to share our experiences with our readers

Beat the heat this summer visiting Universal Studios Hollywood and ride the new Jurassic World ride, you will get soaked wet and cool off that way. Here it is a list of the cool things (no pun intended), happening at Universal Studios this summer

1. Jurassic World The Ride

The new ride is open.It is a good revamp, although I missed the Jurassic Park iconic music. We loved the covered area with the virtual aquarium. The screens with the Mosasaurus eating the shark are amazing, looks so real.

2. Try the foods at the Jurassic Café

The new remodeled Jurassic Cafe is serving Costa Rica inspired dishes. The food was all actually good and the portions are filling. The flavors were a little bland, but nothing some pepper or salt cannot make better. My son really loved the chicken sandwich and I enjoyed the Mahi Mahi. 

I have to say that the chorizo empanadas were really delicious and the guacamole chips (plantains) are my favorite thing in the whole menu, although the guacamole itself needed some flavor.

3. Try the drinks at the Isla Nu-Bar
