Sky Studios

What hotel do you recommend to stay in near the Universal Studios theme park?

Great place to visit, any major chain in that area has great perks…..!!

Thrill rides are my favorite, so I like Islands of Adventure better. Hulk, Dueling Dragons, Spiderman, Jurassic Park, Dudley Do-Right’s Ripsaw Falls and the Barges are my favorites. However, Islands is only good for about a half to 3/4 a day for me.

The advantage of Universal Studios is it is bigger with more to do! They have finally added a couple good coasters fairly recently, the Mummy and the newest, Rip Ride Rockit. Several older rides based on old movies but that are still fun. And a few good shows/live performances, too.

So just for quick thrills, Islands. For a full-day, more varied experience, Universal Studios. For very small kids, there’s much more to do at Universal Studios.

I’m going on a spring trip with the music department and we only purchased 1 ticket for Universal Studios. I’m just wondering if we have to stay in only one park (Islands of adventure of universal studios) or can we go to both parks?! I’m confused, are they seperate parks?!?!? please deliver me from my confusion lol

if you got a one day one park ticket then you have to choose either universal studios OR islands of adventure.

if you got a one day 2 park ticket then you can go back and forth between the 2 parks throughout the day.

if you got a two day one park ticket then you can go to one of the parks one day and the other park the other day.

if you got a two day 2 park ticket then you can go back and forth between both parks for both days.

AND SO ON AND SO FORTH…….

There are two theme paks at Universal Studios. There’s Universal Studios Florida and Universals Islands of Adventure. Which theme park would you take a 2 and 4 year old? Whick one would they have more fun at?

A lot of the big rides with height restrictions are at Islands of Adventure. There won’t be much they can do. The Dr. Seuss area is very, very cute, but it also would not take up much of your day.

At Universal Studios there are several live shows that your kids could do. Especially there is one with real animals called Animal Actors on Location on also A Day In The Park With Barney show. Additionally, there is an area called Woody Woodpecker’s Kid Zone, where they could do everything. And there are a few other rides outside the Zone that they could ride, also. I think there would be more for them to do at Universal Studios.

i think they’d be scared of universal studios. i’ve never heard of magic mountain.

I want to be able to ride some rides, were mainly purchasing tickets so we can get into the Mardi Gras Akon concert (march 6th) which amusement park will suite my needs best?

Universal they have activities that you can do that there is no movement, such as Shrek make sure you let them know you are expecting you will be put in a non movement chair. You will still experience the rest of the show, but you will not feel the galloping which is a jerking motion. This is the same for the others such as the earthquake (I believe its a different name now though, but will always be earthquake to me). Men in Black and some others. If you are purchasing tickets for Madri Gras you might get a ticket for both parks. Islands of Adventure has the Seuss land which has smaller and easier rides. I am an adult and still love that place.

I am a crazy harry potter fan and saw the commercial for the theme park and am now going crazy because i have to go. do you know what day it opens up? I practically cried when seeing the pictures of it online.

The theme park is supposed to open in spring 2010 which means most likely sometime in late April or May.

I recently went to the park, Islands of Adventure, and saw the progress they made, and let me say it looks so cool. The castle is HUGE and looks just like it does in the movies and the village looks pretty cool too.

If you own the half blood prince dvd or can rent it, there is a feature on there that shows what the park will look like.

Hope this helped.

Are there any back to the future rides or props like the dolorean sitting around inside the theme park?

if you go on the universal studios studio tour you get to see the set of the clock tower building…there was a bad fire a while ago, so there is some damage in that area of the tour. and i cant remember for sure, but there was another part of the tour where they had a line-up of famous movie cars and i am pretty sure the dolorean was one of them.
the studio tour was my favorite part of universal studios i definitely recommend it.

i wanted to get a job there soon and i was just wondering if they drug test or not.
any tips on how to pass it ?

Put the pipe down for two or three weeks before the test, make sure you eat properly and exercise in the duration (THC likes getting stored in fat) and take some vitamin B the night before.

*Don’t* take the B a couple of hours before the test, because they’ll know you’re trying to mask it. You want your B levels to be high, not off the chart. If they then ask if you take vitamin supplements, just tell them the truth: Yes, you usually take one a few times a week, and you took one last night.

Either the Universal Studios or Island of adventure

that all depends on what you enjoy the most, they are both totally amazing parks –
