Universal Studios

Universal Studios Florida has redefined what it means to be a theme park. Forget about tame merry-go-rounds and Ferris wheels - rides here are loud, thrilling and heart-stopping. Film and television are the inspiration behind all of the park's rides and attractions. Whether you're strolling down a studio-quality reproduction of New York City 's streets or battling movie monsters on an interactive ride, you'll bask in the bright lights of show-biz at Universal Studios. If you've ever wanted to star in your own action-adventure feature, this theme park is a must-see.

With so much to see and do at Universal Studios, you'll want to consult a map and plan your course of action before arriving. Many visitors spend most of their time at the park shrieking and screaming on the thrilling rides. A long-standing favorite is Terminator 2: 3D , a ride that combines live action stunts, film and special effects for a 3D adventure with real punch. You'll have a blast when you team up with the Terminator to save the world from vicious futuristic cyborgs on one of the most technologically advanced rides in the world. Earthquake - the Big One is another blockbuster attraction. Based on the movie "Earthquake," the ride rockets you through San Francisco as fires erupt, subway cars crash and floods wash over the city in the wake of an earthquake registering 8.3 on the Richter Scale.

Discover the special agent within you on Men in Black Alien Attack . As an agent in training, you'll speed through the streets of New York zapping the aliens who are attempting to take over the world. The ride ends a different way every time, so hop on again for a completely new adventure. The Revenge of the Mummy: The Ride is a thrill 3000 years in the making. The roller coaster plunges you into darkness and brings you face to face with fireballs, vicious beetles and an army of angry mummies in its course. While mind-blowing rides like this aren't recommended for youngsters, children love E.T. Adventure , an attraction based on the movie they grew up with. Hop on a flying bike and soar through the universe to help the extra terrestrial make it back home. After this ride, you'll be an even bigger fan of the classic movie.

Those that are curious about the magic of movie making will have many opportunities to be educated and entertained at Universal Studios. If you've ever wondered how the movies make monsters out of actors, grab a seat at the Universal Horror Make-Up Show and get ready to be wowed. After checking out a fascinating collection of movie props, you'll watch a hilarious live demonstration of how popular scary movie characters gush their guts on screen. Kids flock to Nickelodeon Studios to discover how their favorite television shows are made.
