We Know Islands of Adventure Better than Most!
In our opinion, Islands is the better of Universal's two
theme parks, offering a greater depth of theming and attractions,
and in general, a much better day of fun. Islands of Adventure is
divided into 6 primary areas, all of which circle a lagoon in the
center of the park.
Islands of Adventure is the most
technologically advanced theme park in the world. It is a collection
of islands based on different themes. The islands are:
Port of Entry, Marvel Super Hero Island, Toon Lagoon, Jurassic Park,
The Lost Continent, and Seuss Landing. The theming is spectacular,
and the details in the lands are worth noticing, so make sure you
don't rush through the entire park.
The Lands of Islands of Adventure and Their Main Attractions
PORT OF ENTRY: This is the park entrance area. The theme is
“The Adventure Begins.” This open-air bazaar around the park’s icon,
the Lighthouse, is reminiscent of a base camp, the sort of village
from which one might board a prop plane for his or her next
destination. There are no attractions in Port of Entry.
MARVEL SUPER HERO ISLAND: This land takes you inside the world of comic book
heroes and villains. The battle between good and evil is prevalent
throughout, and the rides are thrilling. Take time to appreciate the
architecture as well.
- Incredible Hulk Coaster - High speed
roller coaster through seven inversions at speeds of over 65 m.p.h
- Doctor Doom's FearFall - Riders blast
200 feet up a tower than freefall back down again.
- The Amazing Adventures SpiderMan - 3-D
effects and special motion vehicles send riders on an exciting
adventure that is among the best rides in the world.
- Storm Force Accelatron - Guests can spin
their own vehicles as they whirl around at high speeds.

life. Exciting attractions and excellent dining and shopping make
this land fun for all ages, and the visuals are stunning.

As the name implies, this land takes you
inside the books and films of the same name. From the familiar
gates complete with logo, to the exotic plants lining the walkway,
you will truly feel that you have entered the land of dinosaurs.

theming including slides and caves to explore.

tracks, both featuring five inversions and speeds over 55 m.ph.

rides to the décor, was carefully supervised and approved by Dr.
Seuss’s widow.

fill up quickly.
Islands of Adventure is a very wet park. On most rides you will
experience some kind of water. On rides like Jurassic Park River
Adventure you may get somewhat wet. On Popeye and Bluto's Bilge Rat
Barges, however, you will get SOAKED, same is true for rides like
Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls. Be sure to wear clothing that will
be comfortable when wet, or at least bring a change of clothing with
you.
