Review of Transformers: The Ride 3D

This is my least favorite ride at universal studios because I am not a big fan of 3D rides. In my opinion the ride would be better if they took off wearing the 3D glasses part and have the ride without them, just like they changed it with the Minion ride. I would feel less nauseous and motion sick.
Pros:
I would only ride it once for the experience or also if you’re a transformers fan. If not, then it’s not on my top list of rides to check off the list when visiting the parks.Cons:
Too many turns, really loud, lots of action going on. It makes me feel motion sick after I get off because of it being a 3D ride , so it’s too much for me.Review of Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey

I have a love/hate relationship with this ride. The queue is amazing and the story has literally everything from Harry Potter. It’s so much fun, especially if you love Harry Potter. The bad thing is it’s not for claustrophobic people. I’m claustrophobic and the way the ride vehicle is set up you don’t have much wiggle room and can’t see next to you. The ride is also known to stop due to the omnimover loading system which has caused me to have a panic attack mid ride because I felt stuck when the ride stopped. Even though I have negative experiences with claustrophobia and this ride, I’ll still ride it multiple times every visit because I love it so much
Pros:
So much Harry PotterCons:

Great starter coaster for little kids. It’s very similar to Woody Woodpecker over at Universal Studios but you can tell it’s newer. It’s fun to do but I wouldn’t wait more than 25 minutes to ride it

This coaster is a fast paced good time where you get to pick your music! You can choose from multiple different genres and songs as you board your ride vehicle, so you control your experience to a degree, which is a unique mechanic you can't find anywhere else. There is even a "secret menu" of songs - you can look up how to get to it on the internet, or even ask a team member and they may be able to get you there! It isn't a super long attraction (a little over 90 seconds), so you don't get to listen to the whole song, but I've never felt cheated on the length of the coaster; it feels longer than it actually is. Just a heads up - you do have to go through a metal detector in the queue, so a locker (or a person in your party who isn't riding) is a must!
Pros:
Unique Experience - This ride allows you to have some say about how you ride since you can pick your music, and that is such a different experience from any other coaster I've ridden. Good Thrills - This isn't the most thrilling coaster in the parks, but it does have some good air time and a fully vertical lift hill, so that's an exciting start to the ride!Cons:
It's a bit rough - The ride isn't the most comfortable experience. The seats and lapbars themselves are comfortable, but the ride itself if a tab bit rougher than most steel coasters. Nothing too terrible, but just be aware that it isn't a very smooth ride at all.Review of Woody Woodpecker's Nuthouse Coaster

Great starter coaster for the little ones! It’s very similar to the Barnstormer at Magic Kingdom. It could use an upgrade with a different character because I’m not sure if any kids know who Woody the Woodpecker is.
Pros:
Starter coaster, cuteCons:

This is definitely one of my favorite water rides in Orlando. It's very charming and cute in how it's themed and the drop at the end is no less than thrilling! You do get pretty wet but I would much rather get Dudley Do-Right wet compared to Popeye & Bluto soaked. Maybe bring a change of flipflops just in case. If I only have one day at Universal, I personally would try to fit this into the touring plan.
Pros:
Fun, thrilling, and a great way to cool off!Cons:
It can get you pretty dang wet if that's not your thing.Review of E.T. Adventure

The OG Universal ride! This is the ride that can turn any bad day into a good one. It automatically puts a smile on my face every time I ride it. Every time I step into the queue the smell hits me (in a good way) and it feels like I’m home. There’s nothing like it! There’s nothing thrilling about it but it’s so cute. It’s very similar to Peter Pan’s Flight so if you love that ride you’ll love ET.
Pros:
The Smell, ClassicCons:

I’ve seen most Simpson episodes and this ride just doesn’t do the show justice. If you’re a diehard simpsons fan then I’d say ride it but I’d you just know if the show you’re not missing out on much.
Pros:
Nice ride vehicles.Cons:
