Universal
Orlando is an exciting destination comprising of 2 of the worlds
most amazing theme parks as well as a lively entertainment centre
know as Universal City Walk. City Walk encompasses lively bars,
restaurants, a multi-screen cinema and lots of shops and is
particularly buzzing at night.
The
two theme parks sit side by side and if you buy a flexible ticket
you can move freely between the two.
The
original park is Universal Studios, the only place on earth
where you can ride your favourite movies. There are 40 unforgettable
rides, shows and attractions. One of the most popular shows
is Terminator 2 3D. Sit down, put on your 3D glasses and enjoy
the spectacular action. Men in Black Alien Attack is an interactive
ride. Take your place in a car and shoot at the extra terrestrials
to save the world. A gentle ride for all the family is E.T.,
hop on a bike and ride high over the city with ET in your basket
to help him save his planet. Last but not least amongst our
favourites is Jaws. This 6 minute ride will leave you gasping
as your tour guide steers your boat through a series of explosions
and attacks from the famous great white shark.
There
are too many attractions to mention but all are equally as exciting,
exhilarating and surprising.
The
newest of the parks is Universal Islands of Adventure, featuring
the world’s most cutting edge rides, attractions and interactive
shows.
The
Incredible Hulk ride is the first thing you will see as you
enter the park, looming large and green high above you. The
ride launches you to 40 mph in 2 seconds and immediately takes
you straight into an inversion 100ft high and it just keeps
getting better. The Amazing Adventures of Spider Man is a thrilling
combination of 3D and a motion simulator. The special effects
will amaze you. Jurassic Park River Adventure is one of three
excellent water rides, all guaranteed to get your very wet.
All a different type of ride but all a laugh from start to finish.
Younger
children have their own area of the park called Seuss Landing.
A variety of rides and playgrounds feature the characters of
the Dr Suess books, and this area alone will keep your kids
entertained for hours.
Both
parks have many places to eat, drink and shop to complete a
truly memorable visit.
