Florida Tourist Attractions – Islands of Adventure, Orlando
Considered by some to be the best theme park in Orlando, Islands of Adventure has better characters than Magic Kingdom, better attractions than Universal Studios, better food than Holy Land, and better architecture than Gaudi’s cathedral in Spain. Okay, maybe that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but just wait until you get on that Spider-Man ride.
Island of Adventure is the sister park to Universal Studios Florida, and most of the information, including admission prices, is identical. However, Guest Services (407-224-6350), disguised as the Open Arms Motel, does not exchange foreign currency. Lost & Found can be contacted at (407-224-4245) or by calling them directly.
Some of the rides include:
– Marvel’s Island of Superheroes
This is a thrill seeker’s paradise with 2 of Florida’s most unforgettable attractions. Heroes and comic book characters patrol this area, so keep an eye out for your favorites.
– the amazing adventures of spider man
After the space shuttle, this trip may be the best thing in Florida. Quickly jump on the combination of roller coaster and motion simulator – Spider-Man needs you now! State-of-the-art 3D rendered super villains are on the loose (jumping on your car and chasing you with giant electrical plugs), and it’s up to you and your favorite web-slinger to stop them. I don’t want to give away too much, so I know this is a spectacular experience. Must be at least 40 inches tall and children under 48 inches must be accompanied by an adult.
– Doctor Doom’s fall of fear
This is less scary than it sounds, which is great for shy people but a bummer for adrenaline junkies. You will be shot into the air, which will knock your breath away, and then it will drop you, but gently and not too far.
– Incredible Hulk roller coaster
One of those coasters with a surprise twist, that could turn you into the green Hulk if you just got eaten! Watch out for that first hill, Dr. Baxter!
– Stormforce Acelatron
Another barf-o-rama, this one with Walt Disney World’s Mad Tea Party, only in the dark. Good luck with keeping your last meal.
– toon lagoon
Continuing the superhero comic book theme, old favorite cartoons come to life here with impromptu shows, mid-games, and a truly drenching water ride. There’s something indescribable about seeing Popeye making a move on the streets.
– Dudley Do-Right Ripsaw Falls
The confused Canadian Horseman has his hands full keeping logs packed with tourists from rushing over the edge of, oh no, a massive waterfall! Be warned: you’ll get soaked on this boat ride, which probably has the best design of anything.
Experience it for yourself in Florida!
