The Lex Files

Disney and Universal

My future in-laws are in town. Today, we hit Universal, and man did we hit it good! (Note to grammarians: Yes, I know that I should have used the adverb “goodly.”) Because of our dealings with a ticket cashier moron, we were given a ‘front-of-the-line’ pass to use on one ride, and because we answered a two-minute survey, we got a front-of-the-line pass for the Studio Tour.


On Jurassic Park: The Ride, the T-Rex that jumps out and surprises you before the big drop didn’t show up. I asked a ride attendant why, and he laughed and said I should be thankful. Why? Because yesterday, T-Rex leapt out and spit out some nice hot oil on the unsunspecting passengers.


Oops.


For dinner, we visited Milk and Honey, run by Steven Spielberg’s mom. She was very nice to us, and explained that Steven’s afraid of the big drop off, so when he takes the ride, they stop it at that point and let him off.


Seriously.


Also, I’ve been checking through my blog logs — or, as I like to call them, my ‘blog logs.’ (Ha ha.) Someone at Disney is visitng my site pretty often, and I want to know more about you. Email me. I have a spec Malcolm for you to read. Unless you’re an intern, in whcih case… quit.
