Top 5 Attractions At Universal Studios Orlando

When you pick Orlando, Florida for your family vacation, you know you have a virtual limitless choice of venues for entertainment and activities. There are so many wonderful places to visit and see that you might find it difficult to decide where to begin. A great place to start a vacation that is family friendly and offers loads of fun happens to be Universal Studios Orlando. This magical destination will leave you mesmerized and dazed with excitement. The park offers tons of rides, shows and other marvelous and entertaining points of interest. Here are the top five attractions in the park that will help you get off to a good start.

1. Back to the Future, the Ride – You will find this ride located right next door to the Men in Black Ride. This ride is almost like being in a flight simulator but is in a class of its own. You will get to travel back in time to 1955 Cloverdale with Dr. Brown as you search for Biff and try and stop him from destroying the future. You ride in the time machine DeLorean sports car, get swallowed by a dinosaur, ride through a volcano and blast through a clock tower. This ride will literally blow your socks off!

2. Curious George Goes to Town – This is an awesome watery experience for kids and is located in the Woody Woodpecker Kidzone. However, it happens to be so much fun that it is never a rarity to see parents getting involved in the fun with the kids, as well. Be sure to bring your bathing suit or change of clothes as you will most definitely be getting wet from the waterfalls, water cannon, hoses and the water buckets that fill to the top and then dump down on the crowd below. There is tons of splashing going on and it’s the perfect way to cool off in the middle of a hot Florida day. There is also an indoor area that has slides and a huge ball pit. You can grab a plastic ball and shoot them at people as they pass by. This place is a blast for kids and parents alike.

3. Men in Black, Alien Attack – This is one of the park’s newest additions and is located in the World Expo. It is just like being a part of the movie. Will Smith even makes an appearance on film, adding to the fun. You will board a car with five other passengers and be equipped with your own laser gun. You score points by how many aliens you can shoot. The car travels through the city as it twists and turns. The mission is to save the city from the aliens and make sure that they are destroyed for good. It’s a blast!

4. Kongfrontation – This ride is located in the New York section of the park. The ride is based on the classic King Kong movies and not the newer Peter Jackson film. You will begin your ride in the city of New York as it comes under siege by the ferocious King Kong. The city is in the midst of being evacuated via the metro system. The car that you are in is attacked several times as Kong climbs up the sides of large buildings, attacks a helicopter and frightens the city. However, your car helps to save the day. You see the drama unfolding on a news broadcast in your car and can also see yourself on the ride via live cameras. However, this ride is not recommended for those that are afraid of heights.

5. Nickelodeon Studios Tour – Located in Production Central, this is a backstage tour of an actual working studio. You get a chance to go through a sound stage and see actual shows that are being filmed. The best time go to get the most out of this experience is during the week. You can check the production window message board to see if they need a live audience for any of the shows, and possibly get the chance to sit and watch a live show being filmed with you as a part of the live studio audience. Tours begin at 9am and end at 4:45pm.
