Best to steer clear of the Butter Beer before you jump on the new Harry Potter Wizarding World rides at Universal Studios Hollywood. According to reports, employees have been left rather sick by the vigorous ride during testing. Set to open in the coming weeks, the 3D rides promise to "transport you into the world of magic and excitement". We hope the engineers sort the situation; no one wants spew on the sorting hat.
A holiday to die for
Think the Harry Potter ride sounds hardcore? Check out Universal Studios' zombie apocalypse-themed ride. The Walking Dead's creative team has worked with the studio to curate a walk-through maze jam-packed with hungry walkers keen to gnaw on human flesh. Sounds like a bit of us.
A family affair
Expedia.co.nz says there's been a 55 per cent year-on-year increase in searches for family hotel rooms. The online booking agency's annual State of the Nation report also found that 40 per cent of Kiwi travellers had been on holiday with more than one generation of their family in the past two years.
