Islands of Adventure
​Universal`s lesser known theme park. Would say a bit more modern.When you arrive at the Universal Transport concourse turn left for Islands.The park is dominated by The Hulk rollercoaster.

Islands and the city walk opened May 28, 1999.
This change the theme park Universal Studios Florida into the Universal Orlando Resort.

The Hulk

Journey through uniquely themed islands where your favorite adventures come to life. Soar above HogwartsTM in The Wizarding World of Harry PotterTM - Hogsmead, help save the city on The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man, and escape the jaws of a T-rex on the Jurassic Park River Adventure.

I love the Spiderman ride.Watch out for a special passenger on your journey.Sad to say I missed out on Skull Island: Reign of Kong .Really disappointed but the lines were too long.   

​Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade
Motion-simulator dark ride.I have no knowledge of Harry Potter but I love the way Universal have designed and built this wonderful part of Islands.The ride was one of my favourite rides this holiday.

Harry Potter was my favourite ride of all our holiday in Orlando.I have not even seen the film.

Jessica gives the Harry Potter ride --Thumbs down

Jurassic Park River Adventure is a must.Real family fun.You walk onto a tour boat for a trip through the grounds of Jurassic Park.
Herbivorous dinosaurs such as ultrasaurus and stegosaurus, along with prehistoric-looking plants and the occasional geyser. Well thought out attraction. 

Family fun for all
