Universal Studios
Islands of Adventure
Orlando, Florida
After an investment of nearly two billion dollars,
Universal Studios opened this theme park in May 1999. The park is grouped into the following areas:
Port of Entry, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Marvel Super Hero Island, Toon Lagoon, Jurassic Park, The Lost Continent, Seuss Landing, and
Skull Island. The amazing architecture, music, thrilling attractions, and brilliant theming combine to form one of the best theme parks
anywhere! Two highlights of the park are these fantastic dark-rides: The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man and Harry Potter
and the Forbidden Journey. These rides, each of which cost nearly $200 million, are some of the most amazing rides ever built!
Universal's Citywalk connects the park to the adjacent
Universal Studios Florida.
