Universal Orlando Resort: Plan Your Trip Around These Must-Sees

The thrilling rides, from roller coasters to high-tech simulators, are a key attraction at Universal Orlando Resort. Check out Skull Island: Reign of Kong, where you’ll travel into the heart of a mysterious jungle and come face-to-face with Kong himself. Looking to cool off? Hop on the exhilarating Jurassic Park River Adventure to float a river surrounded by majestic and awe-inspiring dinosaurs, culminating in a jaw-dropping plummet. It’ll leave you screaming – but ready to do it all over again. Keep the water theme going with a trip to Universal’s Volcano Bay for a hair-raising body slide adventure. If a mega-coaster is your speed, take a ride on the Hollywood Rip Ride Rocket, one of the resort’s tallest coasters, at Universal Studios Florida; or get ready to flip through the seven inversions of The Incredible Hulk Coaster® back at Universal’s Islands of Adventure.

You don’t have to leave the ground to make one-of-a-kind memories at Universal Orlando Resort. At Universal’s Islands of Adventure, learn about dinosaurs up close at the Raptor Encounter character experience, or share a high five with Spider-Man and the Marvel Super Heroes. At Universal Studios Florida, meet your favorite TRANSFORMERS such as Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Megatron outside TRANSFORMERS: The Ride-3D.
