Welcome indeed!
Now with added chocolate! Just in case I wasn't happy enough at this place
And a Hard Rock. And boats!
Let's start with the original
It's still an ugly entrance street.
And has the worst positioned ride ever. Not going to lie. This area needs work.
Do still like this ride
Woosh
And Optimus is still warning us of something I'm sure
They'll keep us safe though! 
The M.I.B will save us too
San Francisco currently home to ZERO attractions.
Do like this new viewpoint you can get too thanks to the Springfield expansion.
Whilst we ignore KidZone here's Krusty!
Home time already
But I haven't been on The Mummy yet 
Ohh phew. It's the amazing Diagon Alley! New for my trip
I'm glad this land has scared Disney. It is stunning. You can't see anything other than DA from it. Hidden paths, shows, endless shops, food, half of it is covered. And when the dragon roars 90% of people stop to get this shot. It is amazing. All lands need this level of detail and depth.
Gringotts is stunning too. And the ride is great fun
But I don't want to ruin it with photos. So we'll get the train to Hogwarts 
And at Hogwarts we are!
The key to Universal's current success.
Fantastic Beasts
And a hut to find them in
Plus a castle for good measure!
They also have this dinosaur place
But more importantly, this lovely view
It's such a beautiful park
And now has another gorgeous thing to ogle at.
It's so intimidating and awesome looking
The queue line is creepy, the gates are amazing. It is a very good all round attraction. Could do with some tweaks in places but another start to finish ride with a brilliant queue.
But again, don't want to ruin it with lots of photos. So here is Dudley Do Right.
Yes this still exists
And this looks awful. Especially now they've gone and done...
THIS!
Hulk is back in a modern techno way
Sploosh
Here's some sexy dusk shots
Suess is still awesome for kids
The entrance is also lovely
Going to be interesting to see what the 3rd parks icon will be
CityWalk is cool too
And has a groovy mini golf
Studios looks lovely at night (as does Islands but it closed too early each day on our trip)
Universal just always feels so much more relaxed to Disney. Their current investments are great and show no sign of stopping. Yeah the parks have their faults, but are clearly being dealt with whilst the resort expands at rapid fire pace. To Disney, do compete. Competition makes this industry exciting, ride wars are what push the boundaries and it's great that Disney seem to be investing heavily with big new rides/lands again.
Till next time Universal!
