Totally Nickelodeon
At Universal Studios
By Edgar N
A WYSIWYG from Alexandria Avenue Elementary School

On March 20, 1996, Mr. Anker and the Wysiwyg's went again to Universal Studios, but this time for something better. Mr. Anker made us sit with the kids from King Elementary School. I got a good kid . His name was Lester. We had a lot of fun talking. When we arrived we had to wait longer than we waited the other time. We waited for about 1 hour and 15 minutes for the other schools and the lady to take us into the studio. When everybody was ready, we went into the studio where they will make the "Totally Nickelodeon" shows.


The first thing we did was tell jokes. Then the producer introduced us to the reporter from Fox 11. He told us about his job and then he asked if we had any questions. A girl raised her hand, but asked a very rude question. She asked, "When are we going to start?" Then the producer introduced us to a reporter from the Los Angeles Times. She told us about her job and what she does everyday. Then she asked if the audience had any questions. After she answered a few questions the fun began: for the games they chose 2 kids and 2 adults for each team. The two teams were the blue team and the red team. For the second game again, they picked two adults and two kids. The first thing you had to do in the game was go in a wheel tunnel, the second thing you had to do was go down a slide, and there is all kinds of neat stuff in that game. Some of the Wysiwyg's wanted to be chosen for the games but none of us got chosen. We were really mad because we didn't get chosen. There was also a sliminator which was used during the games. The sliminator was full of green slime, which they poured on the kids. The first time the sliminator didn't work, so they took the kid that was in the sliminator into the Sundae Slide. The Sundae Slide was full of wet cream. The second time the sliminator didn't work either so they took the kid that was in it to the pie pod. In the pie pod, they sit you down and they throw five pies at you. The third time the sliminator worked and oh boy! You should have seen the girl! She got slime all over her.


Before the show was finished a lady pointed to tubes on the walls and said that the next time we come, green slime was going to come out of those tubes, covering every adult and child in the audience with slime. When the show was finished we received reporter's notebooks and Totally Nickelodeon badges. After we received the reporter's notebooks and the Totally Nickelodeon badges, all of the Wysiwygs and Mr. Anker gave a present to the host of the show: an Alexandria Puma t-shirt. They said that they were gonna frame the t-shirt and hang it in their dressing room. After that some of the Wysiwygs got the autographs of people. Then we left the studio. You'll never guess where we headed after we left the studio! Well I'll tell you: we headed toward the rides! The rides we went on were: Jurrasic Park and Back to the Future. When we were heading towards Jurrasic Park the Ride, Mr. Anker was taking the escalator while all of the Wysiwyg's were running down the stairs. There were about 1,000 steps to run down. I was the first one down. Jurrasic Park was a really cool ride. They had robot dinosaurs (they where huge), but the last part was scary. You had to go up a mountain, and then you had to go straight down into a pool of water. It felt like I was going to fall out of the boat. But then the really last part was when you got a lot of water all over you. Then all of the Wysiwyg's ran back up all of the stairs and Mr. Anker still was going up the esca1lator. He only went up one set of stairs then he took the escalator again (his leg's are still sore.) Elmer C. and I were the first ones from Alexandria to be finished climbing the stairs. Back to the Future the Ride wasn't as good as Jurrasic Park the Ride but was cool. On Back to the Future the Ride you had to sit in the car and the car took you up and then there was a screen on the top that showed the whole story. The car moved you as if you where really inside the movie. It was cool.

After we did everything, we headed back to the bus.
