 | Orlando Universal Studio's Reviews | Tips 1 - 10 of 168 |  |
Universal Studios is one themepark one should not miss. As you enter the park, the famous big revolving logo will welcome you. The place is so nice especially for people like me who is not really much into wild rides! The 3d and 4d shows are really fun with moving chair, splashing water and tickling air effects. The set up of the whole park gives you the feeling of being in a movie scene. Walkways, shops and other displays looks so cinematically real :-)
Never miss the "Jaws" ride and be one of the MIB agents and fight the unwanted aliens.
Note:
Check Universal Studios website for promos. When we purchased the tickets online they had the "Mastercard" promo wherein you can get 1 ticket free for a minimum of 4 pax (adult and child pay the same rate). The 2 days park ticket includes 3 more days free, access to citywalk and pleasure island.

This is a boat ride where you are suddenly "attacked" by the shark when the trademark music begins to play. It is a rather tame ride for an adult but can be a thrill ride for the kids! Makes for a great photo though. Leave a Comment

Similar to Universal Studios in Los Angeles this is a great way to spend a day simply enjoying yourself.
There are similar rides to those in LA with a few extras. There is the Jaws experience as well as the Twister ride, that add a little variety, along with the King Kong thrill ride.
A must see! Leave a Comment

If you are visiting Universal / Islands of Adventure during one of the busy periods consider staying at one of the 3 on site hotels.
What we didn't realise was that you can check in very early on your first day (9am in our case!) and get your room key (even though they won't tell you the room number if the room is not ready!). You then leave your bags with the bell staff and go into the park using your key as an unlimited Universal Express (Fast Pass) on all the popular rides. Your key is also valid on the day you check out all day. So once again we left our bags and spent the day in the parks before heading to the airport.
Please note that you still need to buy your park tickets!
P.S. I did feel a little guilty about going on some rides 3 times in less than 1 hour when the main line was over 2 hours long!
P.P.S. The new Mummy ride at Universal is AWESOME. This sets the new standards for in the dark roller coasters! Leave a Comment

A must do. Once you do the King Kong ride, have you picture taken with Kong. It's at the exit of the ride.
Back to future ride is pretty cool.
Get a good seat for the Blues Brothers show!!!
And we all Love Lucy!!! Leave a Comment

For me, I think Spider man is the best ride in the park. I love the 3-D effects and how real it all feels. Everyone loved this ride and it's even o.k for younger kids...Lots of action and turns an twists, be ready for for spider man...
Lines were very long , express the way to go Leave a Comment

Some of the best attractions for relieving star-envy include Terminator 2: 3D, a spectacular 3D simulator experience where you get to be Arnold; Back to the Future, which has phenomenal special effects; and Earthquake - The Big One, which is so dynamite it hits 8.3 on the Richter scale. Popular shows include the Animal Actors, Dynamite Nights Stuntacular, Ghostbusters and the Gory Gruesome & Grotesque Horror Makeup Show. The Hitchcock 3D Theater is a tribute to the master of suspense. Leave a Comment

The whole park is just amazing! Even though we went in July. It's just a great family holiday.If you are planning to go to a few parks or even universal studios a few times because you want to see it all make sure you leave a few days in between to relax. For e.g. Mon- park , tue-sit by pool etc.
It's a lot of walking around so be prepared to take water and you can even buy a universal studios fan...i would highly recommend. They cost between 10-15 $US. Leave a Comment

This is a separate theme park from Universal Studios. It's divided in to 5 areas: Marvel Super Hero Island, Toon Lagoon, Jurassic Park, The Lost Continent, and Seuss Landing.
They have a little something for people of all ages. Great roller coaster rides are Incredible Hulk Coaster and Dueling Dragons. The water rides are a good way to stay cool during the day. Spider-Man is a neat ride. Marvel Super Hero Island is a must see for comic buffs and Seuss Landing is a must for young kids.
Busts are Doctor Doom's Fearfall and Poseidon's Fury. Leave a Comment

If your not a big fan of roller coasters and thrill rides, this might not be the place for you. Universal Studios has enough for the non roller coasters types but is geared more toward the thrill seekers.
My favorites were: Shrek 4-D, E.T., Terminator, Twister, Poseidon's revenge and Jurrasic Park.
My first time here I had a private tour of the parks. A tour guide takes you through both parks and you get to the front of every line. We did the parks in less than 5 hours total. It was a great perk.
If you stay on one of the Universal properties, your room key gives you access to shorter lines through a fast pass like experience.
