1Universal Studios Florida's Top Five
Attractions
2Introduction
- Since opening in 1990, Universal Studios
Florida has remained one of Orlandos most
popular tourist attractions. Theres so much to
do at Universal Studios it can be hard to fit it
all in, especially if youre trying to do it all
in one day. However long you get to spend at
Universal Studios Florida, be sure to make time
for the Globehunters top five attractions
3The Incredible Hulk
- It may date back to 1999, but The Incredible
Hulk (above) can still thrill with the best of
them. It uses so much power that Universal
Studios was forced to build its own turbines to
power it! Its still generally considered to be
the best roller coaster in Orlando along with
Seaworlds Manta, and Hulk is perfect for thrill
seekers.
4The Incredible Hulk
- To begin with, the launch tunnel propels you
upwards at 40 mph in just two seconds. The ride
is an exciting mix of seven inversions, a 100
foot cobra roll and a top speed of 67 mph. Unlike
some of the big coasters at Seaworld, there is no
water involved and youll stay dry.
5Transformers The Ride 3D
- Transformers The Ride 3D is the latest in a
line of impressive 3-D attractions at Universal
Studios Florida and is already a huge hit. Riders
are NEST recruits .Sitting in a giant Autobot
ready to help Optimus Prime to defend the
AllSpark (basically the Transformer afterlife).
6Transformers The Ride 3D
- Transformers blends flight simulation
technology and 3D HD media to create impressive
battle scenes theres even 60mph speeds and a
drop or two to keep riders on the edge of their
seats. It only opened in July this year so there
may be lengthy queues in busy periods.
7Revenge of the Mummy
- Darkness, swarms of insects and a
revenge-seeking mummy make this one of Universal
Studios Floridas best-loved rides. The ride
reaches speeds of up to 40mph and careers along
in near darkness throughout.
8Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey
- You dont have to be a Harry Potter fan to
enjoy The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, in
particular its centrepiece ride, The Forbidden
Journey. It incorporates the all the main
characters youd expect to see and plenty of
opponents to overcome in a series of enthralling
situations.
9ET Movie Adventure
- It may have celebrated its 23rd birthday
recently but ET adventure is still a firm family
favourite at Universal Studios Florida. The
Hollywood and Japan versions may have shut but in
Florida the ET Movie Adventure its still going
strong.
10ET Movie Adventure
- The introduction to the ride was changed by
Steven Spielberg in 2004 but the ride is still
true to its original, classic formula. Each seat
is a bicycle that follows behind ET who sits in
middle of the front row. The bikes fly over the
city and into outer space before eventually
arriving at the Green Planet. Kids will love the
personalised thank you from ET.
