Universal Studios (Florida) Reviews

Having planned a two week trip to Florida Universal was being built into the second week of our stay and on a saturday we visited Universal Studios Florida. Out of all of the parks this was the one that I was most looking forward to this one as I had high expectation that this was the place to visit in Florida. We had the ...  Read the complete review

Universal Studios in Orlando is one of those places I had always wanted to visit and having my photograph taken next to that huge famous globe was almost a dream come true :o) We were staying on International Drive and it was well signposted from there. You actually need to go along Universal Boulevard and it is really easy to find. ...  Read the complete review

Universal Studios is home to some of the biggest heartbreakers of all time. Heatbreakers because it shatters you illiusions of all the big hollywood stunts by reinacting them with half hearted shows and rides. Sorry, that was my cynical side coming out. Yet after 2 visits to Universal spread 12 years apart, I feel that the park has ...  Read the complete review

Universal Studios is one of the newest multi million dollar theme parks to pop up in the tourist state of Florida. It's right next to International Drive, a very tacky part of Orlando where many of the main hotels are located. I went there with my then girlfriend (Hi Nicola if you're reading) in April of this year after a ...  Read the complete review

This park is the first I visited while in Florida, and it certainly gave me an urge to want to go to the Disney parks. Once you enter one theme park you want to go to them all. This park is nothing like MGM if some people think it. Islands of Adventure is also another park here now joined which is more of a funfair place with rollercoasters and ...  Read the complete review

I have been to most of the theme parks in Orlando and I would have to say that my favourite ones are Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure are both parts of the same park, Islands of Adventure being the newer one. Universal Studios, obviously being a movie studio, has set most of their ...  Read the complete review

If are a big movie fan like myself then this is one theme park that you will have to visit in your lifetime. It is a movie lover’s paradise. The park has a catchphrase “Ride The Movies” and this is more than true because even when you are not actually on a ride you feel like you are wandering the streets of an elaborate movie ...  Read the complete review

This is one of the major attractions in Orlando. It seems like it’s been there forever but in fact it only opened to the public in June 1990. There is also a Universal Studios in Los Angeles which has been around for a long time and, whilst that one is very good (I went there in March 2000), this one is much better. This studio ...  Read the complete review

This was, without doubt my favourite theme park of all. The thing I like about Universal is that the theme park comes first and the corporate image comes second whereas with Disney it's the other way around. It was the Sunday after thanksgiving when we went and it was raining so there were relatively few people there. The park is laid out like ...  Read the complete review

Well Universal Studios 2000 is much better than the last one I saw in 1990. I arrived last week (September) amazed to see very few people queueing. Twister, Jaws, Earthquake, Kong and ET are all good attractions if not a little short, however two rides thrilled me to the point that I had to ride them over half a dozen times. Back to the ...  Read the complete review

I am a assive movie fan, so this place was like a mecca to me. A theme park based on films, I couldn't wait. As you enter Universal along a walkway, famous themes like Jaws and Psycho echo from the speakers, and the whole walkway opens up into Citywalk, which is a massive selection of pubs, clubs, shops and places to eat. Its an ...  Read the complete review

Universal Studios was a must see for us, more so than Disney and I must say that it leaves Disney in the dust! Disney is so over-rated - spend your time and enjoy Universal and their twin park Islands of Adventure! They do not spare any effects to make sure all the rides offer total reality and value for money. Unlike Disney, ...  Read the complete review

If you're looking for fun, escapism and a touch of Hollywood Glamour on your holiday in Orlando then Universal Studios is a must see attraction. The theme park is wonderfully set out with hundreds of items of film memorabilia ranging from the 20s through to the present day. Throughout the day there are plenty of photo opportunities ...  Read the complete review

The studios are a short drive from Orlando and are well signposted. When you enter the Toll Plaza ask for a disabled-parking pass then follow the signs for the disabled parking area. Once inside the studios you are made to feel welcome by the staff and are not treated as a "fire hazard". There are a few rides you cannot get on ...  Read the complete review

This is better than Disney. Now I like my films but Universal Studios really did top the list of great activities. The rides simulate adventures from films and are constantly updated. When i went the Jurassic Park ride had just been added and although it started out quite slowly it finished with a very mad verticle drop into a lake which soaks ...  Read the complete review

Universal studios is a great place to go to. There are so many rides to go on and they are fun. The people who work there are very friendly and if you are in a wheelchair you will go straight on the ride without queuing. It is very easy to find the place, the road signs are very clear to follow. They have characters from different shows walking ...  Read the complete review

The new Islands Of Adventure park is The Best Yet! If you love Busch Gardens, I.O.A. will blow you away! It really has something for everyone and until September this year if you have a multi day pass, you can have express entry, with no queuing from 7am until 10am.It really is worth getting there early and doing all the major rides first as ...  Read the complete review

If there was only one place I could go back to in Orlando it would have to be here! We walked to it from our hotel (about 2 miles) and by the time I got there (pregnant too!) I was pretty fed up! I soon forgot about it though!!!! The attractions at Universal and second to none! There are so many grat rides to go on, well, less ...  Read the complete review

I went to florida just before I started univesity when I was just 18. Going over there was a shock as you are immediatly treated as a minor the minute you step off the plane. Anway, we went to many of the themeparks but by far the best one was Universal studios. The attractions are fabulois especially the Back to the future ride where you ...  Read the complete review

this is a theme park/working studio set in orlando,the rides here arent roller coaster,plunge to earth type rides,more lets pretend you are actually in a movie like . jaws,king kong...earthquake.... good idea, but if you are over 5... it will seem very lame .unless you are an easily excitable person!! the gas bill for universal must be huge,as ...  Read the complete review
