Universal Studios Florida 

Universal Studios Orlando

When Universal Studios opened in 1999 with a price tag of $650 million it became the number two attraction in Orlando. With just over 100 acres, Universal didn't compete on size with Disney. It became a great theme park destination in it's own right and created an alternative to The Mouse just down the road.

The theme is movies and television, and Universal Orlando theme park is still a working movie set.

You can see Universal Studios in a day - and there is something for everyone in the family!

Duelling Dragons 

Dueling Dragons (Ice) rollercoaster

Here's what it's like to ride the rollercoaster Dueling Dragons (Ice) at Universal Islands of Adventure, Orlando, FL. Notice how Ice almost collides with Fire at about 44 seconds in. Sorry it's so shaky, but it's hard to hold a camera still while on this coaster!

Jurassic Park - The Ride 

This Jurassic Park ride is not to be missed. Following the story of the Jurassic Park movie the ride starts off as a pleasant water ride through a dinosaur park. Great entertainment for the amazed guests. Then something goes terribly wrong and the fence is down - all of a sudden you are in the dangerous world of the dinosaur..
Well that is the make believe theme anyway! A great ride with a huge drop at the end. Wherever you sit you will get soaked!
