A Day at Universal Studios Orlando

Universal Studios Orlando is an absolute blast! I purchased a one-day, two-park ticket, and had plenty of time to enjoy everything. STUDIO: - Red Roller Coaster: Entered the park at 9:00 AM and only waited 4 minutes. Recommendation: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Not my favorite due to the strong weightlessness and long duration, but a must for roller coaster enthusiasts!) Excitement: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Mummy: Recommendation: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excitement: ⭐️⭐️ (Great scenery, slightly scary with sudden ups and downs, decent weightlessness) - Escape from Gringotts: Recommendation: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Immersive with 3D glasses, especially the Gringotts Bank scenery while waiting) Excitement: ⭐️⭐️ (Similar to Mummy, somewhat thrilling but manageable) 📍King Cross Station to Adventure, arrived at 11:30 AM (30 minutes earlier than expected) ADVENTURE: - Jurassic Park: The River Adventure: Recommendation: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Interesting storyline, engaging) Excitement: ⭐️⭐️ (Not much ups and downs, but the final plunge is thrilling and wet!) - Hagrid's Motorbike Adventure: Must-try! Waited just over an hour. Recommendation: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Popular ride! The waiting area is very immersive) Excitement: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (No extreme heights or 360 spins, but very fast! Feels faster than Disney's Tron. Overall, excellent with a surprise in the final stretch) 📍Finished all desired rides by 2:30 PM - The Cat in the Hat: Recommendation: (Great for kids, very calm) Excitement: (Not thrilling at all) - Train Ride: Recommendation: (Same as above) Excitement: (Same as above) 📍4:53 PM train from Adventure to King Cross - The Simpsons: 5:50 PM Recommendation: ⭐️⭐️ (Indoor roller coaster with a spherical screen, made me dizzy) Excitement: ⭐️⭐️ - Men in Black: Recommendation: ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excitement: ⭐️⭐️ (Ride a small car to shoot aliens) - ET: Recommendation: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Beautiful scenery) Excitement: ⭐️ 📍Train from King Cross to Hogsmeade at 7:45 PM We could have tried the Forbidden Journey (25-minute wait), but we were too tired, so we found a spot to wait for the fireworks, only to find out they were canceled earlier this year. 📍Returned home at 8:50 PM #UniversalStudiosOrlando #HagridsMotorbikeAdventure #RevengeOfTheMummy #EscapeFromGringotts
