Day 6 in Osaka: Universal Studio Day! 玩游大阪 DAY 6

It was finally the day to go to Universal Studios Japan! We had learnt from our mistake and woke up real early to head there. We got there before they opened the gates and there were still a lot of people but since we got there early we got a spot right in front of the gates.

终于到了这一天了,整段旅程里我最期待的一天!那就是我们要去大阪环球影城了~~
但为了排到最前面,我们一大清早就醒来了,根本就是一副睡不醒的样子。
虽然时间还很早,可是已经有非常多的人已经在排队等入场了。我们等了很久很久,终于轮到我们进去了。


After waiting for what seemed like forever, we were finally let into the park. Chin Yee was afraid we couldn't get into the Wizarding World section without a numbered ticket because if there were a lot of people, you supposedly need one  to get into the Wizarding World section. She made all of us run to the designated area to collect the numbered tickets. We ran like crazy and I was sort of panting and gasping for air as we ran. I swear that I almost got a heart attack or something. I just could not run that far and that fast.

When we got to the blasted place, we found out that we did't need the stupid numbered ticket because there was not much of a crowd yet. Then, we just headed  towards the Wizarding World section. On our way there, we saw the Weasley's family's flying car and heard owl noises. This totally builds up the magical atmosphere, making you feel like you're really going to the magical place Harry went. When we got there, the crowd was still quite thin so we didn't need to wait that long to get into Hogwarts.

Unfortunately, it was against the rules to take pictures in Hogwarts so we didn't take any. When you enter Hogwarts, you get t o see the staircase scene where the pictures were talking. You also see the sorting hat and other interesting stuff. Then, we all rode on the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey in 4K3D. It was awesome and thrilling. It felt so real! The first time we rode, it had an error before resuming. Since there was an error, the staff let us cut the line and ride it again. I was really happy because I couldn't really pay much attention to the details the first time round.

After exiting Hogwarts, itt began raining, which was a real bummer but we didn't care and were off to see other attractions. We rode on the Flight of The Hippogriff. It was quite short and not as fast I expected it to be. However,  you get to see Hagrid's house when you are walking to line up for the ride, which was cool.

After the ride, we explored Hogsmeade. We saw the Honeydukes, Olivanders, Three Broomsticks and other shops. You can actually enter some of these shops and buy some souvenirs for you to take home.

一进场,我们就往哈利波特的魔法城堡狂奔,因为听说园方为了控制进场的人数,会分派号码牌让人群在指定的时间进去。可是,当天竟然不需要拿号码牌,太幸运了。
进到活米村之前,我们经过了一大片的树林。一踏进去,气氛就很不一样了。除了摆设之外,树丛中还传来阵阵鸟叫声以及一些未知生物的叫声,瞬间让人掉进了那个魔法世界里。

我们并没有在活米村的商店街停留太久,而是直奔向霍格沃兹城堡入口。放好了随身物品后,我们就进入了梦寐以求的魔法学校啦!由于里面不能够拍照,所以就没办法提供照片让大家看。
我们走过了校长室、教室、休息室以及从魔法帽底下经过后,就是时候来体验室内的游乐设施 -- 哈利波特的禁忌之旅。坐上了椅子、系紧安全带、戴上了魔法眼镜,就可以和哈利波特一起飞了! **我们玩了两次,因为第一次发生了一点意外,所以工作人员让我们玩第二次。

走出城堡后,就可以看到外面的鹰马的飞行,这是一个小型的云霄飞车。排队的时候,还能看到海格的家呢,也能够看到他骑的飞天摩托车还有种的南瓜。

玩了以后,就是逛街的时间啦~以及不可或缺的喝啤酒时间!!
活米村里有着各种贩卖魔法物品的商店,比如糖果店、魔杖店、制服店等等的纪念品,你可以在那里买到很多让你和魔法世界连接的商品。









Since we were already in Hogsmeade,  we tried the butterbeer.  Each of us bought one...well... Chin Yee had more than one,  but the rest of us had only one.  Butterbeer essentially tasted like rootbeer, just not as sweet. 

接下来,就是我很期待的奶油啤酒了!!这可是来到这里必喝的饮料。
虽然名字写着啤酒,但这是一杯不含任何酒精的饮料。味道是甜甜的,上面铺满了奶油,以我个人来说还蛮喜欢的。我一个人就喝了很多杯呢~



After leaving the Wizarding World section,  we explored other sections of the park.  Since it was raining,  a lot of rides were stopped so we went to a lot of the indoor entertainment. We watched a musical,  a 4D theatre and many more.

As for the outdoor activities,  we went to the Jurassic Park the ride and Jaws. These rides only made us more soaking wet,  which wasn't really fun.  We were absolutely freezing for the entire day.

离开了哈利波特的魔法世界,我们就开始四处乱逛,也遇到了很多经典人物。
由于当天下起了雨,所以很多游乐设施都停止运作了,因此我们只能够去那些在室内的。





After being soaked to the skin, we were starving.  The restaurants in USJ were not cheap,  so I would recommend smuggling some food in. Since we were gonna spend a lot on food anyway,  we decided to go to the more classy looking restaurant.  It turned out to be more expensive too,  which would explained the lack of crowd.

The food was mediocre but the atmosphere and service were great!  My complaint would be for the price they charged,  I expected to be full,  which I did not.

逛了那些园区以及玩了几个室内游乐设施后,是时候要吃午餐了。
环球影城里的餐厅不是很多,而且价钱也都不便宜。不过,我们为了犒赏自己,就决定去吃一餐好点的。

这家餐厅的气氛非常好,服务也不错。不过,就是价钱很贵!
我们吃了一份鸡排和热汤后,肚子还是空空的,丝毫没有一点饱足感。


After lunch,  we split into two groups because we wanted to ride different rides and of tike constraint. We just promised to meet up at the Wizarding World section at night so we could watch the patronus show.

My brother and I went to a bunch of 4D rides,  all which had a long line but it was totally worth it. Well... Maybe except the Minions ones because it was less thrilling than its counterparts.  I'm not saying it was bad,  it was fun but just not as thrilling. My favourites were the Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey in 4K3D, The Amazing Adventure of Spider-Man and Evangeliom XR Ride.

吃了午餐后,我们就分成了两组去走走。那是因为倩雯和她弟弟想去的地方都不是我想要去的,所以我们就约好了晚上在霍格沃兹城堡前会面。

他们去玩了其他的室内游乐设施,而我就走到了刚新开不久的小黄人乐园。
和哈利波特的魔法世界不一样,那里充满了小黄人的欢笑声,而且到处都可以看到他们的身影,是一个让人能够马上感到快乐的地方。

他们唯一的游乐设施也排了很长的队伍,我想我差不多等了一个小时才能进去吧~


Time really flies, especially when you spend a lot of time queuing up.  My brother and I rushed to the Wizarding World section so we ould not miss the patronus show.

There was already a crowd,  although the show had not started. We tried to get a nice spot to watch but there were a lot of people. Luckily,  I was taller than most of the people in the crowd so I got a pretty good view.

不知不觉,我们约定好的时间要到了。霍格沃兹城堡在晚上有一场灯光秀,所以我们是绝对不会错过的!
夜晚的活米村的氛围很不一样,我很喜欢那种宁静的感觉。柔柔的灯光把街上照得很温暖,店里的灯光更是让我想到了等待着亲人回家的家。
而且,在那里真的很像身处外国,如果身旁的人说的不是日语。下一次得去英国的霍格沃兹了~!

时间还没到,就已经有很多人在那里等着了。我们去到时,前面已经站了很多人,我们也只好站得边边的。
灯光秀是有故事的哟,这次的故事是关于摄魂怪闯进了霍格沃兹里,而哈利等人就要使出守护神咒来驱逐它们。虽然时间不是很长,但我们看得也很尽兴。



After the patronus show,  we left USJ and thought gloomily about our impending departure tomorrow.

离开了带我们逃离现实的欢乐乐园后,就得回到现实了。我们明天就要离开日本了~
