Universal Studios is a theme park and entertainment resort that everyone should consider visiting. There are so many rides and attractions to experience at this amazing place. Since it is a massive resort, it will get overwhelming trying to figure out what to see. Here are the best attractions that I have personally experienced at Universal Studios.
1. "Harry Potter" and the Forbidden Journey
Anyone who is a fan of the "Harry Potter" books, movies, or in general will love this thrill ride. After exploring the Wizarding World and visiting the many shops in Diagon Alley, this is one exciting and magical adventure that you do not want to miss.
2. Hogwarts Express
Take a ride on the Hogwarts Express to Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade Village. Travel to different shops, get something to eat, go on the rides, and journey through the Wizarding World of "Harry Potter."
3. "Harry Potter" and the Escape from Gringotts
This is another "Harry Potter" themed ride that will take your vacation to new heights. Enter the doors of Gringotts Bank and walk through the beautifully lit corridors. Then hang on tight as you fly through the air and journey through Gringotts in an attempt to escape the dragon. Be sure to check out this ride if you're courageous enough.
4. Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes Shop
Looking for a laugh or a bizarre gift for a friend? This is the place to go for jokes, pranks, gags, and weird stuff. Take a look, you never know what you will find.
5. "Jurassic Park": The Ride
Try not to get scared as you take a ride through the jungles and terrain of Jurassic Park. Observe the dinosaurs and scenery, but watch out for the T-Rex.
6. Revenge of the Mummy
Pass through the darkness and prepare for a fast-paced roller coaster with many turns and drops. Science fiction and horror fans will certainly love the thrills of this ride. Confront the doom in the tomb as you withstand the revenge of the mummy, and be sure to get a souvenir on your way out.
7. Marvel's Super Hero Island
Suit up and head over to Islands of Adventure filled with superhero-themed restaurants and rides. Grab some lunch with friends at the Comic Strip Cafe, Captain America Diner or The Fantastic Four Cafe, and have an action-packed adventure.
8. "Shrek" 4-D
"Shrek" is part of my childhood. I enjoyed watching the films with my family and laughing. Enter this 4-D animated ride for a fast, humorous, and fun experience.
9. "E.T." Adventure
This is one of the favorites at Universal Studios. It is very calming and enjoyable. If you like science fiction movies or "E.T." in particular, this is a ride you will enjoy.
10. Poseidon's Fury
While this is not the most exciting attraction ever, it's still a fun experience. Follow a guide through the ruins of the Temple of Poseidon and witness bursts of fire, laser lights, and eruptions of water as you make your way back to the surface. Everyone should try this ride at least once.
