Universal Islands of Adventure
The second park of the Universal resort, packed with thrill rides and themed areas including Hogsmeade, Jurassic Park and Marvel Super Hero Island.
Islands of Adventure opened in 1999. It's arranged around a central lake, divided into several 'islands.' Hogsmeade village and Hogwarts Castle offer the Forbidden Forest motorbike coaster and Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey. Jurassic World VelociCoaster is on the Jurassic Park island. Marvel Super Hero Island has Spider-Man and Hulk coasters, and Skull Island features Kong: Reign of Kong. The park has more thrill rides than Universal Studios, making it a good choice for teens and adults. Buying a two-park ticket with Universal Studios is the best value. Arrive at opening to ride the most popular attractions, and check the height requirements published by the park.
