'The area now known as Universal Orlando has expanded dramatically over the past decade and now includes three world class attractions.'
As the number one movie studio theme park in the world, Universal Studios is a popular place to be wowed. Take a look around the working movie studio areas and check out the familiar sets here, before enjoying a whole host of thrilling movie-themed rides. Where else can you save the earth from aliens Men in Black-style, get attacked by Jaws and go Back to the Future - all in the space of a couple of hours. If all that's not enough then visit its sister theme park the Islands of Adventure. Here, you'll discover even more rides to keep your adrenaline pumping. Two of the most exciting choices have to be the Amazing Adventures of Spiderman ride and the Duelling Dragons twin roller coaster. Alongside Universal Studios you'll find Universal CityWalk, a spacious pedestrianised walkway, packed full of varied restaurants and bars. It's designed as the perfect place to go at the end of a fun-filled day at the theme parks. Somewhere to relax and unwind and satisfy the hearty appetite that you've no doubt built up. After enjoying your meal you can then visit the cinema or perhaps take a trip to the theatre, before going on to a couple of the many clubs. One thing's for sure, you'll never find yourself without something interesting to do in Universal Orlando – it's dedicated to entertaining you day and night.
