Universal's Islands of Adventure
| Universal Studios : Islands of Adventure : CityWalk |
Get Adobe Flash Player to see this video.
Billed as a theme park for the 21st century Universal's Islands of Adventure is a big hit! Younger children and adults will have a fine time and the great news for parents is that the park is very geared toward pre-teens and teens. It's a brilliant mix of myth, technology, fantasy and fiction centered around 5 very unique islands where the theming and special effects are outstanding. Escape (by dropping 85 feet!) from an angry T Rex at the Jurassic Park River AdventureSM, a 'monster' of a water ride. Smaller or more squeamish riders might prefer a flyover of the Camp Jurassic® kids play area on Pteranodon Flyers® (adults must be accompanied by a child to ride!). Come toe to toe with your fellow tourists on the Dueling Dragons® rollercoaster high above the Lost Continent. There you'll also find Poseidon's Fury: Escape from the Lost CitySM - a watery battle for the city of Atlantis and The Eighth Voyage Of Sinbad®, a lavishly staged stunt extravaganza. Toon Lagoon® (by far the wettest island!) is where you can splish around Popeye & Bluto's Bilge Rat BargesSM and splash down Dudley Do Right's Ripsaw FallsSM.
Over at Seuss Landing™, the Cat In The Hat™ is definitely back - kids love the multi-colored Caro-Seuss-el™ and the squirt action on One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish™. Get a whole new perspective on The High in the Sky Seuss Trolley Train Ride!™, a whimsical jaunt around the island. Here is also where you’ll find the best place for parents to take a rest, while the kids entertain themselves in the If I Ran the Zoo™ interactive play area. Marvel Super Hero Island® is home to the Incredible Hulk Coaster® - a real shirt buster that literally blasts you into the first 'weightless' inverted loop! (For coasterholics there are separate lines for the front row seats!) Nearby Doctor Doom's Fearfall® is a great place from which to view the park (before plunging 150' back to earth!) while the 3D special effects on The Amazing Adventures of SpidermanSM are so good they almost defy description!
Best Value Tickets:
The best way to see both Universal parks is with an Orlando FlexTicket or Orlando FlexTicket Plus. For those only looking for one day of thrills, singleday admissions are also available.

- Save yourself a wait by making Universal dining reservations at the desk as you enter through Universal's CityWalk.
- When you get to the front of the line utilize the 'child swapping' facilities - couples with infants or young kids can switch out with each other so both can enjoy the bigger rides.
- Do the wet rides in Toon Lagoon in the morning so you have the whole afternoon to dry off!
- Coaster fanatics note there are separate lines for the front seats of the rollercoasters - a longer wait but a bigger thrill!
- Amaze/amuse kids with an actual Green Eggs and Ham breakfast treat!
- If it’s playing hang around for the seasonal, night-time extravaganza ‘Universal 360’ (located next door in Universal Studios®), then have dinner in CityWalk.
