Universal Studios Florida
Universal Studios Florida is, bar none, one of the best attractions in the Orlando area. The studio is both a theme park and a active film studio, and visitors are treated to the most outstanding aspects of both worlds. Steven Speilberg, the master behind such films as E.T., The Goonies, Saving Private Ryan, and Deep Impact is a creative consultant for the park, and the wizardry of his mind is visible in many of the parks key attractions.
The Shrek 4D Adventure is one of the park's newest attractions, and features the entire cast of the beloved Shrek movie. This is an entertainment experience that will certainly heighten the senses, allowing you to see, hear, and actually feel the action around you.
Earthquake: The Big One puts you right in the middle of a giant earthquake, and riders are terrified as ceilings collapse and trucks explode in a real earthquake, measuring a huge 8.3 on the Richter scale.
The Nickelodeon Studios are where many of the popular Nickelodeon TV shows and movies are produced. Kids will especially love this part of the park, where they can come face to face with their favorite characters or play the Experience Game Lab, an interactive show complete with wacky stunts.
Jaws is one of them most popular and well-known of the parks rides. Passengers anxiously await the moment when Jaws will pop out of the water...right next to them!
To be let in on the secrets of make-up in the movies, visit the Universal Horror Make-Up Show, where the pros demonstrate how all those special effects are achieved. Older visitors will enjoy attractions such as the Lucy tribute featuring the famous redhead, and the Blues Brothers performance.
The rides and shows listed here are only a small portion of what Universal Studios Florida has to offer. This is a huge park with endless possibilities, and should be on everyone's must see list when visiting Florida. For more information on Universal Studios Florida, visit
