Universal
Studios Review:
By Joy Atkinson (Summer Intern)
Welcome to Universal Studios in Orlando, FL. If you
look on almost any map of Florida, Universal is well
marked. Home of the movies and the behind the scenes
look at them.
Attractions in Universal Studios come from theatrical
productions. Terminator 2 Judgment day is a 3-D performance.
You are there visiting the lab when the truth is revealed
and havoc strikes. Back to the Future puts as a passenger
in pursuit of Biff as you go through time to bring him
back to the Present. Men in Black reveal a real life
video game where you are the ones that get to shot and
kill the aliens. Jaws is the classic boat ride. He attempts
to enter your boat; will you make it back alive? Earthquake
gives you secret tips on how they made their effects
and letting you experience them first hand. Watch out
for King Kong, you might not escape as he chases you
around Manhattan. There are other attractions where
Hollywood secrets are revealed. They even have a special
kid zone. Parents are allowed to come as long as they
bring their imagination with them. There is even a chance
to save the Universe with E.T
What to expect from Universal Studios is a lot of performances.
The fun of the park is being able to understand how
Universal did some of the effects in their movies or
at least see the effects from up close. The rides at
Universal Studios and Island of Adventure are very thematic.
The lines can be anywhere from short to really long.
It all depends on what day you go and what time of the
day. In the middle of the day is when the most eople
are in the park. Early in the morning or towards the
evening, the crowds start to dwindle slightly. There
are fewer people in both parks during the middle of
the week versus weekends. Make sure to drink plenty
of water!!
