The VMworld 2006 party was held Thursday night at Universal Studios. After the huge crowds made it into the park, a good time was had by all.

Alex Weeks of vi411.org:

The lines to get in the rides were short and the rides themselves were fun. My personaly favorite was the Mummy, with Back to the Future a close second.

The other nice thing about the event was the change to kick back and shoot the breeze with some of the folks from VMware. I live in California, but deal with folks from across the country and don’t always get face to face interaction. This event was a good chance to hang out a little and get to know people.

VMware: Great Event!

Edward Aractingi:

VMware Party at Universal Studios was a great fun after a long day. People were having great time, surrounded by friendly atmosphere and good weather. A lot of food, drinks, and activities. Everything was provided by VMware, even the buckets of rings, basketballs and baseballs to give you a chance to win something (I got a nice stuffed elephant for my daughter!). I also enjoyed Terminator 2 in 3D . Geeks were chatting about technology, counting VMs, hosts, but not beers. We had a blast.... Thank you VMware!

Update: David Marshall, after the initial bus bottleneck, also had a good time:

After eating and drinking, I took in the fun.  The carnival type entertainment was open, and since it was free, you didn't mind trying out the impossible carnival games that your kids usually make you spend $100 on trying to win a $5 stuffed animal. 

It was like having a fast pass, no lines to worry about on anything.  What a great way to actually see Universal Studio... seriously, there is no better way than this.  We walked right into everything.
