Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt It's pretty easy for me to get down there since I live in the Bay Area.

Ironically I went to City Walk just last spring to see a Janet Jackson show and didn't even bother to go into the studios. It's probably been at least 10 years since I've been inside USH.

So if you're flying instead of driving you could probably get to the park from the bay area in about the same amount of time I can coming from the Central Coast. Less if I hit traffic.

Originally Posted By CuriousConstance Hmmmmm. From Portland to LA, I can usually find flights for about $220 round trip.
Originally Posted By Dr Hans Reinhardt We are being bombarded with TV commercials here for Cars Land and California Adventure, Universal Orlando, Great America, Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, and the Transformers Ride. The theme park commercials are literally being shown in some slots back to back. So last night while watching America's Got Talent my roommate and I decided to start planning a weekend trip to LA and check out Transformers. Should be fun.
