I certainly did not do Universal for its ghost but its always a plus to explore a place and have fun while doing it. It was a cold day out and I was sick with a rare virus which ended up lasting me two months. I remember entering the park and feeling so nauseous....I ended up taking a few pills...I toked one up...and also drank a beer that morning. I figured if I partied a little it would help me forget the virus.

I was very excited to be here afterall months before I was stranded in front of Universal this time I got tickets for it. This would be one of the last places in Florida we would be adding to our site. It did not matter whether we captured a real ghost or not an exploration of a theme park is really a treat to our fans and members. I like others to get an inside look into my life as a paranormal investigator. I tried to get other members in Florida to attend the event but then when nobody took my offer on a free ticket it just made me see why I was not staying in FL to begin with.

I jumped into things quickly went right on the Hulk Rollercoaster. I thought oh boy this is going to make me even more sick but in reality it woke me the hell up. If you went on high when you get off you will feel awake. I was going upside down and everything man. I mean its one of my favorite roller coaster. Yes PGS loves roller coasters!

I then took the kids on the Spiderman motion ride I have to say its one of the best I been on...you get sprayed with water...you feel the flame thrower. I was stoned dropping off the sky and it felt real. The kids really liked it my son could not go on some rides so we had his face painted Spiderman is his life. So cute....and I believe that this building the ride is in is also haunted.  People have died in this theme park its just a fact.

After Spiderman I went on Dr Doom believe me I got yelled at to it shoots up then drops you. Well they were watching me on the camera getting ready to take a video of the ride up and they are like put the camera away. I was pretty upset its my camera I can hold it or do what I want with it. The woman would not start the ride till I did...I was giving the middle finger the entire time up to the top and in reality it was the worst ride in the park.

We entered Jurassic Park area the Pterodactyl ride was so long of a wait we skipped it and took the river ride. We also got to see the discovery center which had dinosaur artifacts. When we took the river ride they have life like dinosaurs that are all robotic and act like real ones. The kids loved it but my son at the end of the ride got banged around when the trex came at us and he hurt himself. My little Spiderman was crying for so long he was more scared then bruised.

It was cool being in Jurassic Park standing near the jeep, trex, and seeing some dino bones. After playing in dino land we moved onto The Lost Continent and to a roller coaster which is new called Dueling Dragons. You can take either one we chose the fire one which I believe has more twist and turns in it. You had to enter this big castle it had skulls...a dungeon...just a real dismal feeling...nobody was even around we had the entire ride to ourselves. I made a video but it did not come out sorry.

After the event I took the boys over to Poseidon's Temple where we watched a show slowly going room to room. It reminded me of stargate as one of the halls had water arching over our heads. You could feel the fire during the show as the room rumbled and a virtual battle took place. I thought it was pretty cool at this point I was baked so I was just smiling the entire time haha.

Universal has alot of adult rides but the shows are pretty crazy to I mean your right in the middle of it that is what makes it so cool. I was getting tired so the kids and I went on the trolley ride at the Seuss Landing area. I am NOT a cat in the hat fan actually it all scares me if you ask me a cat with a hat on that prances around like a fairy is rather scary lol.

The ride was high up overlooking all of Universal....I made sure I took some nice photos for our fans from the ride as Seuss Landing is super colorful its like being in the cartoon. We finished off this area by going on the Cat n The Hat ride. I mean talk about freaky you got the cat in the hat jumping out at you....all kinds of weird sounds...colors...oh man it was trippy.

After this I took my son to meet Spiderman it meant alot to me to see his smile always will. He has always wanted to meet spiderman he spent a long time shooting webs with him. The kids also had there photo with Wolverine and I got my photo with Storm and that other xman female. Problem was the person that took the photo did not press the button hard enough and guess what? NO PHOTO lol grrrrr storm had a nice tight body to.

I seen the mystery machine go past me you bet your ass I chased it on foot got my photo with it and even met Shaggy/Scooby doo and you goddamn know that shaggy was stoned. I made a stoner comment to him and he replied back how he needs more scooby snacks haha. Lots of fun man good times!

After this the boys and I road the hulk 3 more times in a row I made a video of the ride for my fans it was not easy but its one of the best roller coaster videos your going to see so make sure you view it. The boys and I noticed it was getting late these parks do not stay open long but we had a special MardiGras pass but it was for adults only so the kids and I had to hurry get on a few more rides.

We went on over to the Jaws ride this was the only one I wanted to go on cause I am a huge Jaws fan. They take you on this river boat ride and throughout it Jaws comes up out of the water trying to attack the boat. The tour guide shoots at it only to eventually kill the beast. Them guys make it clear no photos but I got off a few. It was not easy to get Jaws as he only comes out of the water for two seconds so if you don't act quick on the camera you are not getting shit lol. 

Aside from Jaws we went on the MIB attraction to. My boys and I love video games so we all teamed up to shoot aliens. We scored over 200,000 together. I posted our score on the prologue page. That was alot of fun and a really long ride. You go past places that you seen in the movie and all these aliens jump out and you shoot them. 

We also managed to squeeze on the ET ride where it feels like you are bicycling with ET. It was a cool ride but the photos did not turn out at all but a few. This ride meant alot to me when I was a child this girl I use to have a crush on and I would always talk about flying on our bikes like the movie ET. Sad to say that girl died after I graduated and I never got to tell her how I felt about her. Its in the past but when I got onto this ride I had thoughts about her. Guess my whole life Its been one tragedy after another so the ride was a nice little thing for me to do. I mean its a classic ride and I also felt some energy on this ride to. Other rides no but ET...Spiderman...and the Castle all had perhaps a feeling of being watched by the unseen. 

We went on the Mummy must say that was a huge let down but on the other hand I did feel alot of energy here as a paranormal investigator if there was a ghost watching this is where I felt it and hardly any photos turned out except while waiting in line. The kids liked it cause we had the mummy right in front of our faces but sadly my one son was an inch short and they bitched me out and he could not ride it. I was pretty pissed cause it was not a rough ride at all just a tiny roller coaster in the dark with special effects. 

After the Mummy we went to the Twister attraction movie which is really cool they have live tornados and you get to see fire....and objects falling over...the stage moves so you feel like everything is collapsing. They had two or three live tornadoes smoke or not they looked pretty real with the storm sounds. I guess this attraction is suppose to make you feel like you were in that movie its cool the kids liked it. I wanted to run over the railings and stand in the tornado wave to everybody but then id been escorted on out haha.

It was almost dark at this point we had one last attraction that was The Disaster movie set. I got to see a hologram of Christopher Walken...and they were choosing volunteers. The girl asked for a really bad ass guy so I raised my hand and she chooses some fairy looking dude. I was pretty pissed really I had all my tats exposed...long hair out...but that is how it is in FL people stereotype. Anyhow we got to watch how movies are made...then got into this car where it felt like  you were in an earthquake. Well guess what? I did not eat alot so I fainted on the ride haha....then came to threw up...lucky for me It was only a little and I did it so nobody could see me. 

I blacked out do not remember anything from the ride but see this is a twin ride cause at Disney they have the same one so I was not missing anything lmao. I got off the ride again felt dizzy and nauseous made it to a bathroom running down the dark streets of Universal...nobody was around most of the park was closed. My one son I could not find he took off was roaming Universal Studios hahaha it was madness. I felt better though got a drink of water came to...and my other boys found eachother then found me.

The walk back to the car was long but now people were partying at all the shops and hangouts as Mardi Gras was opening. You can see the night photos at the prologue page. I took quite alot for our browsers to enjoy.

In all due reality it was memorable I did not get as much activity ghostly wise as Disney but it was a great exploration for our group. It holds something special as its one of the last times and events in Florida. Can you believe I went here in Jan. and ended up being sick to almost April so it was pretty serious and to be able to go here live it up come out alive well you cannot beat that although The Cat in the Hat was scary lol.
