Universa;'s Hollywood Dream rollercoaster attraction.The only of its kind in any Universal Studios theme park too. The ride can be seen from far away due to its height and prominent position infront and framing the awning upfront. Always the crowd favourite!


The empty pirate ship cum stage that is the centerstage for the Peter Pan's Neverland park-closing show.


The best ride in the park, IMHO. The Amazing Spider-man attraction employs state-of-the-art rollercoaster experience PLUS 3D visuals, where riders follows Daily Bugle's Peter Parker as he battles Doc Ock, Green Goblin and a host of other baddies around NYC, all the while trying to get the best news scoop. The ride also employs sensory experiences such as water sprays and heat emission at appropriate times to simulate the intense 3D battle going around and as you ride the attraction. Voted "Best Attraction of 2006" at Themeparkinsider.com

This one's a classic! Back to the Future The Ride follows after BTTF III when Biff Tannen manages to sneak into Doc Brown's labroatory and steal the DeLorean Time Machine, and helplessly having Doc Brown employing you to fetch him back. Image projected onto circular IMAX screen plays in-sync with the action going on inside your DeLorean simulator.The same ride in Universal Studios LA and Orlando has been decomission to make way for the brand new Simpsons ride which has recently opened.

The other state-of-the-art attraction, T2 3D. Shown on 3 IMAX screens, with live actors/actresses playing John Connor, Sarah Connor , T-1000 and Arnold Terminator, this is set inthe future when John having to travel to the future on the globe portal to escape the assassination attempt of T-1000. This was shot exclusively for the ride by James Cameron himself, with Linda Hamilton, Edward Furlong, the Governator and Robert Patrick reprising their roles.Even the seats in the theater moves!

There are other attractions such as Waterworld Live Action, Jaws The Ride, and Shrek-4D, which are taped in HiDef, which i could not post herebecause the HD files are huge in size, and connection back home arent up to snuff. Vimeo is also struggling to convert the 1080P material to managable downsampled quality , so that's another reason why.


Seated by the Lagoon waiting for the Peter Pan's Neverland to start. The rest is, yet again, in HiDef, therefore not available.

Just like how other theme park enthusiasts would do, you have the first walk-in and the last walk-out from the park. Both have been captured by the Xacti, but again not available due to above reasons. Pictures will have to do then.



Themeparks takes a different quality and hue as night approaches, take a look at these shots and compare them to their day shots. Yes, i was drunk taking that Arch pic! JK

There you have it! Once items are delivered to their respective owners tomorrow, the next Tumpang will be Paris. Sayonara from Osaka!

nice memories there. I use to go there when I was still young.
still blur blur that time, all i drool during young time is games

i am praying that u r going to new york next month.........

Right, both K-End and GabanKing have received their precious. Unless if they want to post their impressions or short review of their super-slick DS7000 wireless 7.1 headphones, this thread had achieved its goals and will be closed shortly. I'll leave it open until tomorrow kalau K-End or GabanKing sudi give us their thoughts on their purchases.

And oh, SpaceCopGaban, waalaikumsalam. Sempat jugak ko yea!

Time for sleep. Not enough sleep. First night there not enough sleep because of gadget overload. Yesterday night not enough sleep because of Federer-Nadal.

Remember Gaban & K-End, it's 110V!

Hoho, the only review i can give now is that it looks awesome beside my PS3, haha, dah korek all my old adapters at home, semua tak bole pakai. Gotta go hardware shop shopping soon. The headphones themselves feel comfortable too, and it can detect your head, it will turn on when you put it on and turn off when you take it off. The only thing that bugs me a little is the "MADE IN MALAYSIA" tag under the decoder, haha, made in malaysia tapi kena pegi sampai jepun baru boleh beli. And Stringfellow , thanks one more time, hehe.

LOL..i show that to my housemate and he laugh . Jauh tuh...dari Penang pegi Japun..pastu beli kat Jepun bawak balik Malaysia

if you notice, the manual also said "Printed In Malaysia"

Malaysia Boleh?


Btw, for the headset, it fit my head well and feel very confortable. Sadly cannot test it out yet as the adapter is not 'power' compatible. If only i got my old adapter during NES era when i can manually change the power output. Cant wait to test with my PS3.

and yeah, Stringfellow...Thanks alot

String,
Please post some pics of the kawaii girls u meet there...u know playing games n stuff

That is all i ask of u

The current KL setup. The Pioneer SE-DIR800C is for sale as of right now, therefore it is going back into its box.

GabanKing and K-End, you're most welcomed. Glad i could help. I still couldnt picture how you charge the DS7000! Maybe I'm daft or something. But the good thing is your DS7000 can be used as a standalone headphone isnt it?Oh wait, doesnt it come with that DC In thing, is that its charger?

PhoenixByte, kawaii Japanese girls are all captured on the XActi HD camcorder, I'll have to do frame captures to get it as a picture. Posting HiDef videos here would take forever, with TMNet's crappy service.

On our way back, me & GabanKing discuss that we need to fully utilized this headphone...even use this headphone to listen to the radio


Yup, the DC In is the charger and they give 2 power adapter, 1 for charging the headphone and another for decoder

Yeah man. to get our money's worth need to use it as much as possible, good thing its wireless, so pegi berak pun boleh pakai.

Ahahah, 7.1 surround on FlyFM! Okay, now I get it on how to charge the DS7000. I'm jealous of the whole look, typical Sony to tug at my heartstring!

Takkan nak beli dua2 kot?

Berak pun pakai headphones? Make sure you wash your hands Yeah, i can imagine lots of possibilities, doing lots of things while still having the heaphones on your head! As long as you dont neglect your duty as husband/fiancee/boyfriend sudah, a woman's wrath....panas woo!

Just buy only, 1 for movies, 1 for games, hehe.

Ahahah...siut

i can imagine im using this playing Rock Band. Totally headbanging

With its looks i hope i can use it to find chicks also, pakai and go jalan jalan at KLCC, kalau tak dapat awek pun, bila kena pukul for being a loser dork all the chicks will sympathize you and will want to be your gf. Hmm, stringfellow, know any stewardesses who fancies guys in headphones? hehe

String has returned. Can't wait for your NY trip. Lots of pictures I see...

Ahahah, nope, they prefer you coming in and pick them up in them BMW (insert whatever series) . I chose to keep my distance away from them, except for a couple few. Their tendencies of looking at what you drive means only one thing: Golddigger/Pisau cukur.

I've used a couple few cans (headphones) in public, Sennheisers to Grados, and the general public here are'nt accustomed to seeing large cans on people's heads, hence giving you weird stares or sideway glances. I just generally ignore them, especially if I want peace of mind and peace and tranquility while listening to my music. While I'm out and about taking the RapidKL bus or LRT, the Bose QuietComfort 3 comes in handy, it drowns out low frequency/high pitch drones especially prominent on the engines of the bus or LRTs, while still allow conversations to filter through. I use the QC3 on board the plane when I want to sleep.

I'm typing this while listening on the DRS300C. I'd imagine that it is the same case for you and K-End as well, that you need to set whatever players you have the audio playing out from, to PCM, not Bitstream. I'm playing Shoot 'Em Up on Blu-ray but my BD-P1400 was set to output Bitstream, so the resultant audio sound tiny and distant. Changing it to PCM returns it to the experience I remembered : Explosive, punchy and discrete.

Other good titles to audition your headphones are would be Live Free or Die Hard (tunnel sequence), Black Hawk Down (any of the battle scenes), and my own personal favourite,Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds Live at Radio City Music Hall.
