From the first moment you step into Universal Studios Florida, you’ll have the chance to become the action hero you always wanted to be. 

You can head for lunch at The Leaky Cauldron™ in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, or even meet SpongeBob SquarePants or the stars of The Simpsons™.

2. You can experience a new species of rollercoaster

You’ll dash through the lush greenery and twist, turn and soar above land and water on the Jurassic World VelociCoaster

If there is one thing scarier than coming face to face with a velociraptor in Jurassic Park, it’s flying through the air on the Jurassic World VelociCoaster. 

This summer, cold-blooded terror is coming to Universal’s Islands of Adventure. 

You’ll dash through the lush greenery and twist, turn and soar above land and water as part of this predatory pack. Brand new for summer 2021, with a launch date of 10th June, it’s been worth the 150 million-year wait.

Exchange Isla Nublar for a Forbidden Forest adventure with Harry Potter’s most beloved ally. Hop on Hagrid’s motorbike and prepare to plunge deep into the wilds to spot the world’s rarest magical creatures. Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure™ is the thrilling star of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Hogsmeade™.

Then grab a broomstick and join Harry and his friends as they soar around the castle aboard Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.

That’s not all. Splashtastic adventures also await. 

Think plunging to a watery end aboard Dudley Do-Right’s Ripsaw Falls or taking to the rapids to rescue Olive Oyl on Popeye and Bluto’s Bilge-Rat Barges. You can even check out the views – if you have time – as you’re shot 185ft into the sky aboard Doctor Doom’s Fearfall.

From King Kong to Jurassic Park and The Incredible Hulk, Universal’s Islands of Adventure is filled with larger-than-life encounters to keep you on your toes.

3. You can plunge down a volcano in a canoe

Universal’s Volcano Bay water theme park has plenty of chill to balance out the thrill

Hold on tight as you twist and turn on this raft ride through the Krakatau volcano in Universal’s Volcano Bay. 

Share the Krakatau Aqua Coaster experience with friends and family as four of you board your canoe and prepare to plunge through the heart of the volcano before dropping through a glittering waterfall.

Looking for even more excitement? Try a 70-degree fall through a trapdoor followed by a 125ft high-speed descent to a splashy end on the Ko’okiri Body Plunge. 

Or ride the Ohyah and Ohno Drop Slides, shooting around curves until the slide spits you out into a six-foot freefall.

Don’t worry, this Polynesian-themed water park has plenty of chill to balance out the thrill.
