Universal Orlando

Universal Orlando Overview

Universal Orlando is a world of action and thrills with two amazing theme parks as well as non-stop nightlife. Islands of Adventure features rides and attractions that bring favourite myths, cartoons, comic book heroes and children’s tales to life, while Universal Studios invites you to jump into the action of the movies with rides themed around popular recent films.

And the entertainment doesn’t stop there – Universal Orlando continues into the night with a 30-acre entertainment complex with live music, casual and fine dining, dancing, shopping, movies and other entertainment, such as performances by the world-renowned Blue Man Group. The Wet ‘n Wild water park is also located next door, and tickets can be purchased for admission to all three.

Universal's Islands of Adventure

This park is composed of several distinct "islands", each with its own theme. Starting off in the Port of Entry you can make your way through Marvel Super Hero Island, Toon Lagoon, Jurassic Park, The Lost Continent, and Seuss Landing, each with its range of related rides such as:

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

Visit your favourite places and experience the exciting attractions from the entire collection of Harry Potter books and films! Ride on the Hogwarts Express to Hogwarts Castle where you can explore the castle grounds and visit Ollivander’s or Filch’s Emporium of Confiscated Goods.

The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man

Put on a pair of 3-D Spider-Vision glasses for an eye-popping, pulse-pounding, high-tech 3-D thrill ride in the gleaming comic book city of Marvel Super Hero Island.

Jurassic Park
River Adventure

Experience the real Jurassic Park where dinosaurs have been brought back to co-exist with man, and take a thrilling river raft ride through primeval dinosaur habitats.

Universal Studios

Ride the Movies at Universal Studios! At this real film and television studio you can go behind the scenes, beyond the screen and right into the action. The park consists of six themed areas for kids of all ages – from Woody Woodpecker’s KidsZone to Hollywood – and features activities and rides that are inspired by popular films, such as:

The Simpsons Ride

Join Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie on a visit to Krustyland, the low-budget theme park created by Krusty the Clown.

Shrek 4-D

Join Princess Fiona and company on an adventure that picks up where the movie left off. Featuring an original 3-D film plus an extra dimension of special effects, you will see, hear and feel the action right from your seat!
