PRINCE Harry turned tourist this week at Universal Studios - enjoying two spins on the "Revenge of the Mummy" ride.
The prince, who is enjoying a break from his eight-week military helicopter course in Gila Bend, Arizona, was treated to a VIP tour of the popular Los Angeles tourist attraction on Wednesday, US Weekly reported.
He also impressed with his generosity, offering "a giant 'Curious George' stuffed toy that he won at the theme park's carnival games to one lucky kid who happened to be nearby," a source told the magazine.
"The highlight of the afternoon included a trek through the very popular 'King Kong 360 3D' and the 'War of the Worlds,' which were particular hits for the prince," the source added.
The 27-year-old started his visit with a gourmet lunch, before taking in "The Simpsons," "Jaws Lake," "Jurassic Park" and "Revenge of the Mummy" rides.
Harry, the younger brother of Prince William, visited Las Vegas over the weekend and was seen dancing the early morning away at the Tryst Nightclub.
He also sped across the Arizona desert on a classic Harley-Davidson motorbike, after renting it from a local dealership for US$150 ($155).
The prince - known in his UK Army role as Captain Harry Wales - arrived in the US on October 6 to undertake the final training exercises in his Apache helicopter "conversion to role" course.
He had been training at the School of Aviation at Middle Wallop, southwest of London, but must complete the course in the US to be brought up to "battle ready" status.
