Universal Studios Hollywood is more than just a Theme Park it’s one of the worlds biggest working movie studios with a few rides attached. In the few times I’ve been lucky enough to visit the park over the last 20-odd years it’s seen some incredible changes and always seems to have major construction ongoing every time I visit. The true pillar for the park though is...
Introduction I’ve been lucky enough to visit Disney California Adventure in almost every iteration of the park, from watching it under construction in 2000 to the confused mid-2000s to the great DCA 2.0 for Disneyland’s 60th and now to the strange thematic mishmash of current DCA. Every time I’ve visited, it almost feels like a completely different park, and in the...
After years of following announcements, concept art and construction I finally got to explore Batuu and exploring it almost feels like you’ve stepped onto a Star Wars movie set for a new never before seen movie, which comes with its own positives and negatives. Whilst it’s amazing to walk around and explore such a detailed environment in areas it feels lifeless and...
Epcot as a park is in a bit of a strange place at the moment, not really knowing if it wants to completely reinvent itself or still cling on to those ideals that made EPCOT Center special in its early days. Luckily there is still a lot of fun to be had if you know what to do, and the almost consistent festivals throughout the year mean there is always going to be...
Disneyland Park in Anaheim California holds a special place in my heart, it was the first Disney Park I ever attended in August of 2000 and can honestly be seen as the catalyst for my love of all things Disney and Theme Parks. Since then I try to head back to the Disneyland resort every few years to see how many of my favourite attractions are still there and all the...
I have had the pleasure of previously experiencing almost all of the Lego Brickman touring exhibitions including Brickman Awesome and my personal favourite “Wonders of the World”. So when Brickman got in touch about coming down to Sydney for the opening of his newest exhibition “Brickman Cities powered by Lego City”, we were excited to head along and see what it was...
2018 was a great year to be a Disney Theme Park fan wherever you are in the world, with every single resort getting something exciting added to it. The Tokyo Disney Resort celebrated its 35th Anniversary with a plethora of new entertainment options across both parks including a brand new Parade and nighttime spectacular! We saw Toy Story themed Lands open at both...
In 1911, a Paddle Steamer was travelling through Lake Buena Vista in Florida when it stumbled upon a preserved island home to a couple of alligators and a family of herons. The Paddle Steamer belonged to none other than Merriweather Pleasure, an explorer of the seas who had set out for the unknown with his family. Merriwether Pleasure was an explorer, an inventor and...
One thing to know about ReviewTyme is that both Dom and Myself love Lego, both our houses feature Lego builds throughout, so when we saw that the Legoland Discovery Centre Melbourne was having an Adults night while we were in town for PAX Australia 2018, we jumped at the opportunity to head along and see what it was all about! The Legoland Discovery Centre Melbourne...
Universal Studios Japan may very well be the best Universal Studios park in the world. Featuring a great mix of exclusive attractions, spectacular entertainment and crowd favourites that have been killed off elsewhere in the world. This park even manages to have both Jaws and Harry Potter living together harmoniously. Whilst the language barrier may be daunting to...
