Universal's Islands of Adventure

Universal Studios consists of three lands: the main park, Islands of Adventure, and Volcano Bay. Islands of Adventure is located next to the main park, just a four- to five-minute walk away. It features eight themed areas: Port of Entry, Marvel Super Hero Island, Toon Lagoon, Skull Island: Reign of Kong, Jurassic Park, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter-Hogsmeade, The Lost Continent, and Seuss Landing.

Play order reference:

Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey—Flight of the Hippogriff, Hippogriff™—Ollivanders: Makers of Fine Wands since 382 BC—Hogwarts Express—Poseidon's Fury—Lunch Mythos Restaurant—Jurassic Park River Adventure—Skull Island: Reign of Kong—Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls—Classic Comic Strip Characters—Meet the Marvel Super Heroes—The Amazing Adventure of Spider-Man—The Incredible Hulk Coaster

I highly recommend one of my favorite rides in the two main lands of Harry Potter Town: Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure. The track design is more like the Atom Speeder ride in Jungle Jump, without the loops or steep valleys, but with just as many horizontal inclines and curves. The motorcycle resembles the Japanese motorcycles seen in anti-Japanese films, with both a driver's seat and a passenger's seat. Out of curiosity, I chose the driver's seat, which required me to hunch over and grip the handlebars the entire time. Occasionally, when I felt tired and tried to lean on the backrest, I found it small and narrow, barely reaching the top of my waist. With no safety guards, the ride was full of high speeds, side-to-side tilts, and occasional steep dives and swerves, including sudden stops and drops. Although there was a seatbelt, hunching over and holding onto the handlebars provided greater stability, comfort, and safety. This posture offered a completely new experience after countless roller coaster rides.

When we went there, the Jurassic Park roller coaster happened to be closed, but I heard it was also very exciting and fun.

I just visited Islands of MapleStory on June 16th and finally arrived at the legendary Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I was so excited and overwhelmed. I also happened to come across the new ride, Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, which opened on June 13th. We skipped it the first day because the wait was so long we spent the whole day waiting in line. The next day, after we'd done everything we wanted to do, we saw the line was only 150 minutes long—the shortest we'd seen in days—so we decided to get in line. We chose the single-rider option, meaning you share a seat with others, and surprisingly, we only waited in about 40 minutes. Hahahahaha 😄 After a day of riding various rides, this motorbike ride felt the most novel and exciting. It was unexpected, off the beaten path, and it really rekindled my excitement. We even wanted to go again, but unfortunately, shortly after we got in line, it started raining, with thunder and lightning, so we had to leave. But it's definitely worth it! Highly recommended! Of course, if you really have to queue for 360 minutes, it would be too exaggerated 😂

Not bad, Disney World is a must anyway

Friends who like roller coasters can try

It’s fun, fun, fun, super fun, I love it so much, I can’t describe it in words, I love Harry Potter!

Compared to Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure is more suitable for people who like exciting projects.

Universal's Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios have a Harry Potter train connection. I recommend starting with Islands of Adventure and then going counterclockwise within it. This way, you can complete the Harry Potter experience in just over 10 minutes, then move on to King Kong, Spider-Man, and other attractions. We did everything we could that day, without sacrificing lunch or afternoon snacks. We even bought a magic wand and a box of frog chocolates, watched the Harry Potter light show, and two performances. Finally, we were too tired to go. The Jurassic World ride was different from the one in Singapore. It was so high that you felt weightless when you got down there! The Mummy ride looked unremarkable, but there were also rides inside that drove backwards and upside down! Overall, it was a great experience!

I had a lot of fun. I got soaked in the rapids, but after I got off, there were some very thoughtful little drying rooms. :)

Man-made attractions with strong humanistic entertainment👍

We saw Spider-Man, a 4D movie where you get in a little car and follow Spider-Man as he saves the world. It was amazing! Before coming here, I was always curious about why Universal Studios had Marvel characters. Turns out it's just comics, but you can still take pictures with Marvel characters. It was hilarious when we were lining up for Spider-Man's photo, and just as it was our turn, he said he had to get laundry for Captain America and started making all sorts of rants about him—hahaha, that's pretty much his chatty personality. He disappeared for 10 minutes and came back with Captain America! What a surprise!

-lost continent

We skipped this park because there were only two performances, one about Simba (I haven't seen The Lion King) and the other about Poseidon. When we saw that we had to stand the whole time, and since we two took more than 20,000 steps a day, we gave up immediately, hahahaha.

skull island

There is only one project, take a car to see the primeval forest, very exciting 4D movie, super real! I was scared by the sudden appearance of the XL spider. Must play

River adventure is a less exciting rapids ride. You can admire dinosaurs in the front and encounter a Tyrannosaurus Rex in the back. There will be small dinosaurs spraying water in the middle. The last one is more exciting and will not make you get soaked.

Raptor encounter: interact with dinosaurs. The staff were so into the role that they kept yelling at the dinosaurs not to eat them. Hahaha, it really felt like Jurassic Park. The little kid in front of us was scared and crying.

Jurassic Park Discovery Center recreates the park center in the movie scene. There are many educational games to teach you about dinosaurs, and you can buy souvenirs.

forbidden journal: I personally think this is the most fun project. Although I waited in line for almost an hour, it was really worth it.

There are two whitewater rafting rides at MapleStory, plus one at Jurassic Park. It's recommended to wear sandals for these rides. If you get wet, you can pay for a body dryer, but it's rarely effective, so it's best to dry it in the sun. Of course, you can also bring a change of clothes.

There is an area in MapleStory that is full of comic shapes. It is beautiful. Most of them are shops. Some shops sell comics and peripherals.

Great White Shark ~ There is only a photo spot, and there are no activities to play... Not happy

The roller coaster and bungee jumping machine here are very good experiences. The turkey legs and butter beer are delicious and worth a try. The fireworks show at Hogwarts Castle in the evening is beautiful and a favorite of Harry Potter fans.

The Green Dragon is quite exciting. There are many queues that require you to check in your bags. If you can travel without a bag, don't bring it.

MapleStory is mainly based on the Harry Potter theme park. The castle journey couldn't be better, the 4D effect is very good, but I felt a little dizzy after coming down 😷

There is also Holmod Village! Harry Potter fans must not miss it

I rode three roller coasters: Ice and Fire, Harry Potter, and The Hulk. They were so thrilling I nearly peed my pants. I also rode Spider-Man's Horror Adventure and Dr. Death's Jumping Boom. I was impressed by myself!

I bought an annual pass because I live here. The Studio rides are relatively gentle and more suitable for children, such as the Battle of the Men in Black, E.T., and Shrek the Movie 3D. Adventure is relatively more exciting, with attractions like Jurassic Park. Both parks have Harry Potter, and both are worth visiting. You can take the train to both parks. Honestly, the single-passenger channel is very convenient and faster than the express channel, but you must follow the rules when using it. You can't tell others how many people you are in. Because it is a single-passenger channel, the staff will only let you in one by one. If you are lucky, they will let two or three people in. But remember that you are using the single-passenger channel.

This island is so exciting.

Very good experience recommended

It is recommended to buy 2 days and 2 parks, 1 day is definitely not enough.

It's fun and very physically demanding. The rafting is good, but you will get wet all over. It would be more appropriate to wear beach pants and quick-drying shirts next time.

This is one of Universal Studios' two parks, home to Hogwarts Castle. We recommend spending two days exploring both parks: one day exploring the Harry Potter areas of both parks, and the other day exploring other attractions. If you're in a crowd, you can buy an express ticket to skip the lines (though you won't be able to use it on the two Harry Potter-themed rides). The turkey leg and Butterbeer are must-buys. Each ride is themed after a movie. For example, on the Spider-Man roller coaster, you can actually see Spider-Man leap into the front of the ride.

Be sure to download the official app on your phone, Universal Orlando Restort App. It is very useful and can locate you, check the real-time start time of each project performance, etc. With it, you will never get lost.

It's so fun! I must recommend the vertical roller coaster. You must sit in the first row. You will feel like you want to hit the ground with your face.

In MapleStory, I mainly played water projects and the Hulk roller coaster.

Be careful though, water activities will get you wet!

There's a blue and a red roller coaster next to the castle in MapleStory. Both are thrilling, though not the most thrilling in the entire park. However, the lines are short, so I recommend both. Some people say there are different levels of difficulty, but I think they're both fun, and you can get a fast track pass to the next one right after you finish one. The water rides are thrilling and fun, and there are three main ones, all in MapleStory. You're guaranteed to get soaked, so bring a change of clothes if possible.

It's so fun! So exciting! I never get tired of going there!

I think the Universal Studios Orlando is better than the one in California. The Harry Potter theme park has a glasses-free 3D ride, but the same ride in California requires 3D glasses. The only downside is that the fast pass doesn't work on the Harry Potter theme park, but it does. However, the Minions machine broke when we were playing, so they gave us a special yellow ticket (another internal fast pass), which was good for the Harry Potter theme park. So, we were so happy we skipped a nearly two-hour line.

I couldn't contain my love for Universal Studios, especially Harry Potter Land. It was everything I dreamed of a magical world. From the streets to the details, it was impeccably designed. The rides were incredibly realistic, and the lines weren't boring; it felt like a true visit. The two-day, two-park pass I chose included a ride on the Hogwarts train from London to Hogwarts. Every detail was perfect, as was Diagon Alley in London, even the building at 12 Grimmauld Place and the Knight Bus. It's highly recommended; it's absolutely perfect.

Universal Studios has two parks, one is Universal Studios and the other is Islands of Adventure. You have to visit both of them, no reason why.

Well, because there are two parts to Harry Potter, in different gardens.

Gringotts and Diagon Alley are in Universal Studios, while Hogwarts School and Hogwarts Village are in Islands of Adventure, connected by a train.

Plus other super cool 3D and 4D roller coasters, well, don’t miss any of them!

There are many fun shows for all ages, including some thrilling roller coasters.

It's thrilling and exciting. If you're a roller coaster enthusiast, I highly recommend this ride. It was my first time riding a roller coaster, and after that, I seemed to have fallen in love with it (???).

The train to Hogwarts is amazing. I took it back and forth several times. It connects the two parks. It was a great experience.

Full marks! Been there twice! Will definitely go again!

The largest bar in the United States, I recommend going there, it's very good

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, holding a wand and wearing a wizard robe, sitting on three broomsticks and drinking a glass of butter beer!

Hogwarts and Hogsmeade—what more could you ask for?! Hogwarts Castle feels like a scaled-down replica. There's a fantastic ride, though you can't ride it alone, but the lines aren't long in the mornings and evenings, and the castle itself is incredibly authentic and fun, so waiting in line wasn't boring. This ride is truly amazing; I rode it three times. There's a wand shop in both Hogsmeade and Diagon Alley in the other park, but the one here is more authentic (though wand shops shouldn't be in Diagon Alley, right?). There's also plenty of interactive wand magic here (though the one in Diagon Alley is more numerous and fun). Wave them up! Incidentally, the Hogwarts train connecting the two parks seems to be a four-story replica, depending on the direction and time of day. The park also has three roller coasters: the Hulk and Dragon's Challenge, and Dragon's Challenge has two more: a fire dragon and an ice dragon. Of course, I didn't ride one, as I'm a bit timid, and I certainly didn't go on the bungee jump. The King Kong 4D ride is new and quite good, but there's no single ride, so expect to wait in line. The Spider-Man 4D ride isn't as exciting as the Transformers & Ancient Silver Pavilion ride at the other park, but it's definitely a very engaging experience for American comic book fans (the entire scene, including the on-screen images, are comic-inspired). Overall, it's probably a bit inferior to the other park, but there are three water rides that aren't there (baggage storage for the water rides is $4, while the rest are free). And yet! With Hogwarts and Hogsmeade already here, who needs a reason?

Universal Orlando Resort is made up of three parts, including Universal's Islands of Adventure. Because some of the attractions are quite thrilling, elderly people and those with heart problems should be careful.

I personally think it's the most worthwhile park to play, and the rapids are great.

Love The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™, I had so much fun over there.

Islands of Adventure is connected to Universal Studios' other land by the Hogwarts train. The most fun part is, of course, the Harry Potter area. There are all sorts of indoor and outdoor roller coasters, and you absolutely have to ride the Dragon Challenge. As for the food in the park, it's definitely filling.

The entertainment facilities in Universal Studios are great, but the infrastructure is average. The queues for some roller coasters are not as much fun as those in Disney World, and the music is repetitive like a brainwash song.

Compared to Universal Studios Florida, Adventure Park has more rides and more excitement.

To be honest, Universal Studios is older than Singapore's, but you still have to go to MapleStory, especially the Hulk roller coaster, which is very exciting. It basically closes at around 9 o'clock, so if you visit both parks, I suggest you visit MapleStory first and then Universal Studios, as Universal Studios has more performances.

You have to go to Hogsmeade and Hogwarts. The tour in Hogwarts Castle made me so excited that I almost cried. This is what it feels like to have your dream right in front of you. Harry, please take me to play Quidditch again! ! ! !

It's all very exciting hahahaha, the faint of heart should be careful.

It was thrilling! Although I was very scared, I still bravely rode the roller coaster and the bungee jumping machine. It was so cool.

I was completely focused on visiting the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. My hotel allowed an hour's early entry, so I set off at 7 a.m. to line up! Seeing Harry Potter Castle was a thrilling experience. As a huge Harry Potter fan, I was thrilled to see scenes recreated from original paintings, down to the finest detail. Universal Studios' Express Pass doesn't work on the Harry Potter rides, so I had to wait in line. True fans can buy a wand and use special gestures to interact with various scenes—rain, lights, and even animated objects! Then, I took the 9 4/3 train to the other half of the park, Harry Potter's Diagon Alley, to ride the Flying Broom 4D ride and experience Quidditch and Dementors. I was so excited I almost cried. The scenes I'd imagined from the movies were now truly happening!

Very fun. Very exciting. Suitable for older children

Although the price is not cheap, it is definitely worth it. I played almost every water project twice, and rode the Ice and Fire roller coaster next to Harry Potter Castle twice. I felt a little regretful that I didn't ride the Hulk, which is under construction. I didn't dare to do such things before. I felt like my girlfriend led me down a path of no return! ,... =-I recommend buying tickets online and then printing them at the hotel. This saves me $20 for printing.

Continue to exceed expectations, all Harry Potter projects are so much fun!

You must visit the Hogwarts Castle inside! It is a favorite of Harry Potter fans!

I spent two days at Universal Studios, having a blast exploring the attractions. I spent the entire day at Adventure Park, and if it weren't so crowded, I feel like I could have done every ride three times, hahaha. I haven't been to other Universal Studios parks, but this one already left me very satisfied. The Harry Potter-related attractions were especially impressive. The magical experiences in the park were a perfect way for a Muggle girl to want to be a magician. Whether you've seen Harry Potter or not, the Harry Potter attractions are a must-see. Besides the familiar film and television scenes, the attractions themselves are also entertaining. However, many of them have physical limitations, so be aware. As for the other attractions, I personally think they're worth visiting if you have the chance. It seems the park has put a lot of effort into authentically recreating the film and television scenes.

The Butterbeer is amazing, and the Forzen is even better! Every ride in the Harry Potter land is amazing!

Interesting rides in an amazing world!

Harry Potter fans must go, you can go again during the retreat, when there are fewer people

If you go to Orlando, you must come here. The amusement park is very unique and has various classic themes.

Compared to Universal Studios, this place is simply amazing. The Harry Potter School of Witchcraft and Wizardry experience alone is incredibly addictive. You can fly around with Potter without 3D glasses! It's simply adrenaline-pumping! The Butterbeer at the entrance is a must-try. Jurassic Park and Spider-Man are also worth experiencing. And the design is incredibly engaging. Even during the long lines, the corridors are filled with themed elements, letting you learn about the origins of the characters and their stories while you wait! Absolutely amazing!

Great, great, I recommend playing Harry Potter's forbidden journey at least twice! ! !

There are many exciting projects, a must-see paradise for young people.

This is the most fun theme park I've ever been to! Barely any other! After the 3D ride, all the other roller coasters pale in comparison. If I had the chance, I'd love to spend three days and three nights there!

This amusement park is perfect for both adults and teenagers! The rides are all movie- and animation-themed, making it incredibly immersive. While the price is high, it's definitely worth it. The experience is unlike anything you'll find at a typical amusement park; every ride feels like being there. A must-see in Orlando. Islands of Adventure isn't as extensive as Universal Studios overall, but the two are roughly comparable. It's worth a visit just for the Marvel, Harry Potter, and Jurassic Park attractions. However, if you're not a movie lover or don't have a deep understanding of each theme, consider this a good option; it lacks the direct thrill of Happy Valley.

We purchased our tickets online a few days in advance, saving $20 compared to buying them on-site. We bought a two-day ticket for both parks, totaling around $160 after tax, which gave us plenty of time for one day. Be sure to check carefully when purchasing your tickets; there's also a two-day ticket combo that allows you to visit both parks, which costs a few dozen dollars more. The bonus is that you get to ride the Harry Potter train that runs between the two parks. After purchasing your tickets online, you can simply pick them up at the entrance. The ticket agent suggested the Express Pass several times, and I almost wanted to, but the price was so steep that I declined. The official website showed Express Pass prices starting at $34.99, and I thought it would be worth it if I could skip the lines and enjoy the park as much as I wanted. However, I discovered that the price varies daily, based on visitor volume. The most expensive times of the year are Christmas, Reading Week, and Spring Break. During Christmas, an Express Pass can cost over $130... significantly more than the entrance fee.

The first thing I did was play Harry Potter, and then after leaving another park, I went back to MapleStory and played Harry Potter again. It was great.

The ride in the Harry Potter castle is super super awesome and very realistic. It's a pity that you have to queue up by yourself. If you have time, go as early as possible. You will definitely want to ride it again after riding it once.

A must-go, highly recommended Hogsmeade, Hogwarts and water rafting

I don't like these kinds of thrilling places, but I went anyway. After a day of riding roller coasters, I had a fever the whole day. My friends who were with me, however, all had a great time.

We visited one park a day, and it was quite far to walk from the parking lot to the park. They should learn from Disney and have a shuttle bus. It was raining when we went there, so there were few people, and we could finish all the projects in half a day. We visited the Harry Potter Castle twice without having to queue.

I won't talk about this park anymore, it exceeded my expectations in every aspect. The Harry Potter area was absolutely amazing!

This is one of Universal Studios' two parks, home to Hogwarts Castle. We recommend spending two days exploring both parks, with one day dedicated to exploring the Harry Potter areas of both parks and the other day for other activities. If you're in a crowd, you can buy an express ticket to skip the lines (though you won't be able to use the two Harry Potter rides). The turkey leg and butterbeer are must-buys.

It's fun, fun, fun! You have to go to the Harry Potter area! Go to Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey! It's worth the price of admission!

It is not recommended for people who are too old to play here, some things are still quite exciting

You can play with Universal Studio, Harry Porter is a must! Is the system stupid? This comment was automatically deleted. The English words are not characters. I worked so hard to spell them out! !!! If you delete it again, I will file a complaint!

It would be unimaginable if an amusement park could make people feel artistic, just like Universal's Islands of Adventure, which constantly surprises people.

Each area has very distinctive features and there are activities that you will never regret playing.

The Harry Potter Castle 4D Ride and the Ice and Fire Roller Coaster were so amazing that I wanted to experience them again.

The Hulk roller coaster is the best designed roller coaster I have ever ridden

Spiderman Popeye Rafting, Whitewater Ride, and Jurassic Ride all have their own unique features.

After playing for a day and a half, I still don’t want to leave

If you're short on time, buy a one-day ticket for both parks. The Harry Potter ride is a must. You need to store your bags, which suggests it's a bit of a thrill. I spent the first half of the ride with my eyes closed. The Dementors and giant spiders were so close I couldn't stand them, and they even sprayed me with water. OMG! I can't quite recall the other rides because I was so tired after a one-day ticket. Oh, and there's also the incredibly slow Dr. Seuss train. It moves very slowly, and the super-baby-beat music accompanies it in mid-air, making it feel like a throwback to childhood.

On the first morning, we chose the MapleStory park, which is the older Hogwarts Castle. When we arrived, we saw the snow on the roof and arrived at Hogsmeade Village. It felt great to be in the world of Harry Potter!

Friends who like thrilling projects are blessed. Even a timid person like me has ridden several roller coasters, especially the indoor roller coaster. It was so cool.

This one is for Harry Potter. The roller coaster inside makes me dizzy just looking at it. It's really a life-threatening ride.

I went to The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man, the effects were great, the car shook violently when it was electrocuted, I recommend it!
