As I was sitting here soaking my feet, I realized, it’s been a minute since I have updated the blog, so here I am. What better topic to write about while soaking your feet than theme parks. After all, when you walk around one all day, you typically need to rest your feet!
Anyway, we can book almost any theme park you want. I say almost, because there are a few that just don’t work with travel agents. You would think that they would want to, but I guess they don’t want to pay the commission.
Let’s talk about Universal Studios in Florida. Most people do not realize that there are actually two parks with Universal (going to be three in a couple of years). With Universal, you have Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. Both of these parks offer different activities.
Universal has Despicable Me Minion Mayhem, Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, Transformers the ride-3D, Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon, Revenge of the Mummy, Fast & Furious-Supercharged, Hogwarts Express-King’s Cross Station*, Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts, Men in Black Alien Attack, The Simpsons Ride, Kang & Kodos’ Twirl ‘n’ Hurl, Woody Woodpecker’s Nuthouse Coaster, and E.T. Adventure.
These are just the rides! This doesn’t include the shows or the food or the interactive playgrounds, etc! There is so much to do at Universal, that you need a day just for this park!
*Park-to-Park admission ticket or Annual Pass required. Additional restrictions apply.
What about Islands of Adventure?
They have; The Incredible Hulk Coaster, Storm Force Accelatron, Doctor Doom’s Fearfall, The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man, Popeye & Bluto’s Bilge-Rat Barges, Dudley Do-Right’s Ripsaw Falls, Skull Island: Reign of Kong, Pteranodon Flyers, Jurassic Park River Adventure, Jurassic World VelociCoaster, Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, Flight of the Hippogriff, Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, Hogwarts Express-Hogsmeade Station*, Poseidon’s Fury, The High in the Sky Suess Trolley Train Ride!, Caro-Seuss-el, One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, and The Cat in the Hat.
Again, this is not counting the shows, food, etc!
Don’t forget, in the fall, they have the Halloween Horror Nights (tickets are on sale now!).
With so much to do, where would you go first?
