This theme park offers many thrill rides without awfully long waits. Harry Potter was without a doubt the busiest area of the park, the ride queues were not too bad but to get into the other attractions was a long wait. The park does not always have accurate wait times, they were either well under which is fantastic or well... More

I've been to this park several times now and has never been a waste, harry potter wizarding world is an exact copy of the movie, makes you feel like you are part of the cast there

Went here, hadn't been in about 5yrs. Was ok, expensive and you have to pay for each side of the park. Not much new, except the Harry Potter area. It wasn't anything that great. A couple of rides and the area is mostly fake. Only one shop, of course the wand shop. It had like 80 people in it, should... More

Great for little boys! My 5 year old was in Heaven with all the super hero's! Rides are fun. Great shows. My sons favorite is when they Super heros ride around on their 4 wheelers! We highly recommend eating breakfast at the Confisco Grille. Make reservations online!

Definitely the best attraction in town. Highly recommend to Visit Harry Potter the last, so the crowds are gone. Spiderman ride is among the best I have ever seen.

We had a fantastic time here. The rides were great - a nice mix of thrilling and tamer ones to let you catch your breath back in between. For us this was the best park we visited. Staff were helpful and friendly, even quequing was fairly entertaining - especially at the Spiderman ride where a DJ was provided.

Yes, I said it Universal is better than Disney...but for children older than 9 and definitely better for adults. There are some great headline rides here including Harry Potters Forbidden Journey (considered the best ride in Orlando by many), Incredible Hulk Coaster, Jurassic Park Adventure and my personal favorite Spiderman.None of the Disney Parks has anything to compare to any...

We visited this theme park twice before and it was good in the past ..but we returned in May 2013 and it seems a bit jaded. Most of the Jurasic Park section was closed so we never got to go on the ride there..Some of the other rides are looking tired and old hat now. There were masses of people... More
