Universal Studios Florida

Pros: terminator, back to the future,funnel cake
Cons: cost, prices, lines

Overall for the money it's worth seeing once but don't expect too much. It was sort of lame. The rides were slow and not too exciting. I was there 10 years ago and will not go back again. It's all the same. If you like rides and aren't roller coaster,...

Pros: A lot of fun
Cons: On this trip I missed what I expected to be the best ride

On my last trip to Orlando, in June 1999, I had the chance to spend a day at Universal's Islands of Adventure. To summarize my review in one word - WOW! This was great fun and I am sure that every visit to Orlando will include a day here.

...

Pros: Great place for roller coasters!!!!
Cons: Admission could be lower and not alot for young kids to do except watch!!

Islands of Adventure is a really great park to let your imagination run wild. As soon as you hit the gate, the adventure begins. Greeted by the Port of Entry, the magical place takes off as the buildings, site and sounds are very much in character. We...

Pros: Rides
Cons: Expensive

This past spring break I went to Orlando. I went to Universal Studios the first day I was there. I had been there before so I knew what it was all about. I love it there. The rides are thrilling, but not scary, so they are okay for kids to ride. I...

Pros: Friendly staff; very accommodating!
Cons: None

We've been to Universal two times in the past 4 years. During our last visit, the Islands of Adventure were under construction (but it was a treat to see the massive construction underway!).

On our first visit, my husband was limited in his...

Pros: classic rides
Cons: nothing special, does not have same zing as other places, kind of sedated

Well, if you follow my epinions, you probably know I live in Florida and frequent theme parks of all types. Obviously, anybody with these two characteristics will have visited Universal Studios, perhaps quite a few times.

I'm one that's gone...

Pros: Good Rides, MIB, Great for Kids
Cons: Getting Old, Only One New Ride, No New Rides On The War

Let me begin by clearly stating that this review is on Universal Studio's original theme park in Florida. NOT the new park, Islands Of Adventure (I've reviewed that too, but seperatly, check it out <---shameless plug). Now lets begin.

...

Pros: Very scary, great production quality scenes and shows
Cons: Not appropriate for children

As background information, Halloween Horror Nights is a special event that Universal Studios Theme Parks have during the Halloween season. The cost is approximately $20 in addition to admission to the park ($40). During the day, the park is completely...

Pros: great
Cons: crowds

After passing through Port of Entry, and just past the entrance gates, most thrill seekers will hang a right and head for Marvel Super Hero Island, home to two of the park's greatest attractions. First up is The Incredible Hulk Coaster. Following the...

Pros: great size, no long lines, clean and safe park, fun rides!
Cons: none

I vacation in Florida frequently because I have family in the state. One of our favorite fun destinations is Universal Studios Florida. In comparison to Walt Disney World, Universal is a more mature theme park and a lot cleaner! I have been going to...

Pros: Everything attraction was great!!!
Cons: Weather was too hot.

The first time I visited Universal Studios, was this past August along with my two friends. First, we went to the Alfred Hitchcock attraction which was a great time, they had an actual stage set up for scenes from the all time favorite "Psyco"....

Pros: One of the best family oriented theme parks in the state.
Cons: None. Competition for Disney World.

I've been to both Walt Disney World and Universal Studios, and both are great entertainment, family fun and highly recommended vacation spots in Florida. However, if I could go back to either one, I would not hesitate to return to Universal Studios. ...

Pros: good rooms
Cons: service is lacking, but maybe it's b/c the hotel was so new.

I must preface my review by saying that I stayed at the Portofino Bay in late October, actually, I checked in the day before their "official" opening (10/23, but they had been "unofficially" open since labor day), so the kinks and...

Pros: Nice roller-coasters and rides, even for the kiddies.
Cons: Only a day to traverse the whole park

This is one of the best theme parks i have been to. Islands of Adventure was amazing! The different sections of the park make it even more attractive that any other ones! I loved this park because of all the different things that could be done. There was...

Pros: Good theming, several great rides
Cons: Terrible operational policies

Before making the trip, I'd heard Islands of Adventure called the best theme park in the world by many people. IOA is very nicely done, but it is not the best theme park I've ever visited. There is too little regard for the guest, and the park is fairly...
