As it was bright and sunny this morning but due to be very hot and thundery later, we headed to the Universal Studios theme park just after 8am.
Some of the rides were already busy - we decided to pass on this one..
We did visit the Spider Man attraction though which had some great 3D effects (holding on too tight to take photos).
This looked fun - but who wants to be this wet at the start of the day??
So, on to Harry Potter World and Hogsmead - snow, in July?
We queued for the Hogwarts ride - only finding out when it was too late to turn back that it was a fully fledged, locked in, roller coaster ride with some vertigo-inducing 'broomstick' flights.
We walked through the streets of Hogsmead and had breakfast..
Later we boarded the Hogwarts Express to go to Diagon Alley ..
You went on a roller coaster ride?? Last time I went to Alton Towers it the supposedly tame Runaway Train was as far as I got and that was too much when I realised it was going round a second time. The rest looks good though.
