Universal Studios is an amazing place to have fun with family and friends, but tickets can be expensive. Now most of us have gone on roller coasters and experienced the thrill of being in a machine that goes wild, but the rides at Universal are like no other. The 3D effects make everything about the rides that much more exciting and unforgettable.

Nothing beats the rides in Universal, you will be left with amazement at how they made each ride. To get ready for your next visit to Universal Studios, here are five rides and attractions that should be at the top of your list.

1. Transformers ™ : The Ride-3D

This ride is every bad boy's dream. If you have ever wished to be badass, this ride will make you feel it. With flight simulation technology and 3D effects, it is out of this world, not to mention that Megatron gets right up in your face.

2. Jurassic Park Ⓡ -The Ride

So Jurassic Park was one of the first rides I remember going on. It never fails to disappoint. Be aware that something unexpected happens towards the end and as an eleven-year-old, it still sticks with me to this day. (Hint: unexpected meat-eating dinosaur hovering above you.)

3. The Studio Tour


After hours of walking around and waiting in line for the next ride, take the Studio Tour. Sit for an hour while being entertained! This tour will not disappoint. Who knows? You may just see a giant gorilla along the way or even a killer shark!

4. Harry Potter And The Forbidden Journey ™

As one of the newer rides that Universal that just opened, this is a number one for many Harry Potter fans. Yes, the wait takes up to an hour or even two, but the wait is worth the wizardry adventure you take with Harry and his friends.

5. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter ™

Even if you are not a Harry Potter fan, this place is lots of fun. Visit the cool shops in Hogsmeade right in the middle of LA! There are so many magical spells that can be cast and many more magical creatures that can be spotted throughout your time here.

Universal Studios is a lot of fun and will not disappoint. There are so many more rides and attractions to see but these five are a must! If you have never been, I advise you to start saving up and make the trip. It is possible to get through all the rides and attractions in one day. Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
