Universal Islands of Adventure

  Let the adventure begin! This is an immersive park where guests travel to many different islands, being placed in the worlds of each land. In eight lands: Port of Entry, Marvel Super Hero Island, Toon Lagoon, Skull Island, Jurassic Park, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Hogsmeade, the Lost Continent, and Seuss Landing. Every land is a new reality. Originally conceived as "cartoon land," the park was developed shortly after the first park opened. As the idea evolved, more than cartoons were featured, and this idea eventually became Islands of Adventure. The park opened as Universal's second gate in 1999, bringing literature worlds to life. Although this is a more family-friendly park than Universal Studios Florida, it still has its fair share of thrills, including the resort's most intense coaster, the Incredible Hulk Coaster. Now let's go over the top five things to do here in this park: #5 Jurassic Park River Adventure Location: Jurassic Park Height Require...

  It's time to discover the real side of movies in Universal Studios Florida. This is where guests are invited to "ride the movies" and experience many attractions based on films. These immersive, innovative attractions make the worlds of these films come to life in many surprising ways. This park opened in 1990, and it kind of invented what Universal parks are today. This is where immersive rides based on movies were first introduced to the Universal parks. After their success here, they were added to the park in Hollywood. Despite being a more mature setting, newer additions like Dreamworks Land and Minion Land have been aimed at families. Let's go over the top five things to do in this incredible park. #5 E.T.

Disney's Hollywood Studios

  The third park in Walt Disney World is a place where film, TV, and show business are celebrated. Here, the worlds of film are brought to life, and the glitz and glamour of Hollywood are recreated. The park originally was planned to be a pavilion at Epcot, but it later evolved into a park of its own. The park opened in 1989 as Disney-MGM Studios. Disney made a twenty-year deal with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, but that deal expired in 2008, and that year, the park was renamed Disney's Hollywood Studios. Since then, the park has slowly moved away from its movie-making origins and has learned more towards the worlds of film. Let's go over the top five things to see in this park. #5 Rock'n'Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith Location: Sunset Boulevard Height Requirement: 48 in. Opening Year: 1999 Scope: E-Ticket This high-speed roller coaster, the most intense roller coaster in Walt Disney World, is an indoor thrill ride at the end of Sunset Boulevard.
