List of Universal Orlando Resort attractions

Last updated

The Universal Orlando Resort is an amusement park resort located in Orlando, Florida. It features two theme parks, Universal Studios Florida and Universal Islands of Adventure, built on 107 acres (43 ha) and 101 acres (41 ha) of land, respectively. [1] [2] Both parks feature several attractions and shows based on movies produced by Universal Pictures.

Contents

After several delays during construction, Universal Studios Florida opened to the public on June 7, 1990; however, several of the park's major attractions experienced frequent mechanical and technical problems, forcing the rides to close. Eventually, Universal filed a lawsuit against the manufacturer of Jaws, an attraction that was based on the film. [3] [4] [5] Despite being costly to maintain, Jaws remained a popular attraction until its closure in 2012.

Three years later, Universal announced the construction of a second theme park, Islands of Adventure, that officially opened on May 28, 1999. [6] [7]

One of the most popular additions to the resort is The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, an incorporation of the Harry Potter franchise. [8] [9] Opened in 2010, part of the Lost Continent area of the Islands of Adventure park was re-themed to Hogsmeade. Also, a replica of Hogwarts was constructed, with a dark ride, Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, located inside. [10] [11] [12] In 2014, an area themed after Diagon Alley opened in the former location of Jaws within Universal Studios Florida. [11] This addition included Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts, as well the Hogwarts Express based on the Hogwarts Express that allows guests to travel between Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley without actually having to exit either park. [12] [13]

In 2015, Universal permanently installed metal detectors at three of their roller coasters. These were Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, the defunct Dragon Challenge and The Incredible Hulk Coaster. [14] The metal detectors would also be added to VelociCoaster in 2021. [15]

On January 15, 2023, the majority of Woody Woodpecker's KidZone, which included Woody Woodpecker's Nuthouse Coaster and Fievel's Waterslide, the play areas Curious George Goes to Town and Fievel's Playland, and the Shrek-themed meet-and-greet style attraction which was opened the year before after the closure of Shrek 4-D, was permanently closed to make room for an area to be themed to DreamWorks Animation. [16]
