    Default Universal Studios or Six Flags?

    im gonna be in the los angeles area from the 31st to the 3rd. i was wondering if i should go to Universal Studios or Six Flags? or are they both worth going to? universal is a bit pricy but if its worth it ill go!

    has anyone been to san diego? what is their to do? is it worth the drive down to the san diego zoo or anything else?

    depends on who you are going with and what you wanna do.

    if you love extreme rides Six Flags owns. The coaters there are incredible.
    If you like movie themed stuff, universal is cool.

    Personally, I would choose 6 flags. Universals lines were brutal, and it was pricy for what we got.

    San Diego zoo is also cool, but hey, just gooa ask yourself if you wanna blow some coin to see some animals.

    There is also Sea World in San Diego. That was alright.

    If you want all out fun and will leave going "Holy shit that was cool, you WILL have the most fun at Six Flags Magic Mountain. If you like animals, the zoo is neat and the Universl is good for a movie set enlightenment.

    I actually didn't think the zoo was that great. Sea World is definitely worth going to, you can't miss that.

    There's also the Wild Animal Park which is part of the San Diego zoo but located somewhere else. I thought that place was pretty cool.

    But, whatever you choose, have a good time on your trip.

    Last time I went down to California, I went to both Six Flags and Universal Studios. I enjoy Six Flags cuz of the rides especially the Viper!

    SIX FLAGS!!! and make sure u bring a coke can, u buy 1 ticket, and with a coke can u get a second ticket for free!

    its cheaper, only 23 bucks or so now plus a free ticket, and there more stuff to do. dont buy tickets online... its more expensive (done it before...)

    hurrican harbor sucks ass, u have to go to raging waters


    san diego is only good if u have a nissan to mod! otherwise if u want to see animals use the internet! and if u want to play with legos at lego land, then stay in canada! and sea world is only for looking not much to do...AND ITS ALL EXPENSIVE

    go to disney's california adventure if u enjoy blowing 40 bucks for nothing, and disneyland is still bleeeh

    all there is to do here in california is 6 Flags, Raging Waters, Santa Monica Pier, The Block, and some...uhh sight seeing? oh yea a load of shopping... nothing else... ugh cali sometimes is boring... maybe cuz i live here

    it's not only for looking, you get to pet dolphins, they have a ride and a few shows.

    and yeah, no matter which park you go to, BE PREPARED TO SPEND

    is the coke deal on till at least after the 31st? the website says the regular admission price is 44.99 and online special of 25.99 but if the coke deal is good for when im actually in LA then it works out to be a better deal.

    where can i find more info about raging waters?

    I think you would love cali if you lived in calgary. the most i ever do on my days off are play pool, shop, and go for a drink. And once a year, we get to go to the stampede to watch alot of underage hardcores gamble and fight. There's not much sight-seeing here either.
