Universal Orlando is a large theme park owned by Universal Studios, located in Orlando, Florida. Universal Orlando consists of two parks: Universal Studios Florida and Universal's Islands of Adventure. The theme parks are similar in content to Hollywood Studios in Los Angeles. However, because the Orlando park was built nearly 30 years later, it has a more modern feel and is more popular with younger audiences.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, there were already many vehicles queuing to enter the park. The parking fee was $22. 
The one-to-one restoration of Diagon Alley in the Harry Potter movies is amazing. If you want to go to Hogwarts after visiting Diagon Alley, you need to go to the train station to take the train in the Harry Potter movies, which is the classic 9 3/4 station. It is also a one-to-one restoration of the original movie. In fact, it is equivalent to connecting the two Universal parks. The ride takes about ten minutes. In the movie, to enter this platform, you need to pass through the wall of Hogwarts. Here, technology is also used to restore this process. From this glass device, you can see that tourists seem to pass through the wall. 
There are six people in a carriage. During the ride, the glass on both sides including the compartment door are actually LCD screens, which will play plots from various thrilling movies. The compartment door will even simulate the shadows of protagonists such as Harry Potter and the dark shadow of Voldemort, as well as plot dialogues. It is really super realistic. It is recommended that you take the round trip and the other one if you have time, because the plots are different. 
I think the Forbidden Journey inside Hogwarts is the best ride at Universal Studios and worth a second visit. Just like in the movie, the characters in the paintings move and talk. Jurassic Park is one of my favorite movies, but unfortunately this ride was terrible, even worse than Disney's Dinosaur Adventure. I was disappointed. The classic Jurassic Park ride was just a swaying boat ride, essentially a water ride. It was boring! Spider-Man was also just average. 
The Transformers experience was fantastic. The Fast and the Furious, which opened last year, recreated the movie scenes on a 1:1 scale, and the experience was pretty good. I didn't dare try the roller coaster... I kind of regret it, but I'm afraid I'll regret it even more if I try it. 
In general, Universal is more fun than Disney. After all, it incorporates many Hollywood blockbusters and is more in line with the tastes of adults. 

I highly recommend one of my favorite rides in both parks: Revenge of the Mummy. Unlike the simple, real-life ups and downs of a roller coaster, and unlike the immersive virtual reality experience of film, sound effects, and simulations, with a gentle ride and minimal seat vibration, Revenge of the Mummy perfectly blends the two. While the ride is indoors and the ride isn't as dramatic, the speed and various ups and downs are every bit as thrilling as those on an outdoor roller coaster. Add to that the lifelike mummy installations in the dark tunnels and the sound effects that heighten the eerie atmosphere, and you'll have a truly unsettling adventure, with unpredictable uncertainty about what's about to happen next. 
Men in Black Alien Attack! was also a lot of fun, being the only attraction with interactive shooting. Similar to Revenge of the Mummy, Men in Black's indoor installations were incredibly realistic and offered a more interactive experience. While two people per car lacked the thrill of ups and downs, the dizzying spin and the sense of accomplishment from shooting the random "aliens" kept the experience intensely thrilling. However, we ultimately couldn't figure out exactly where to aim, so we just randomly shot, hahaha. 
Finally, whether you're a Harry Potter fan or not, go for a Butterbeer! We chose the Frozen one, which was really delicious, slightly sweet without being sour or bitter. 

Exceeded expectations! After entering at 10 o'clock, we went straight to Harry Potter Diagon Alley, which was like entering the world in the movie. It was great!

It’s fun, fun, fun, super fun, I love it so much, I can’t describe it in words, I love Harry Potter!

At Universal Studios Orlando, I recommend that you choose the 2 Park 3 Days ticket if you want to have more fun. Print your ticket: After booking your ticket on the official website, it will send a confirmation email to your email address. You can download the electronic ticket directly from the email address and print it out. 
Important note: All e-tickets must be exchanged for a real 3-day pass at the park ticket office. You must keep your ticket safe, as it records your entry and exit times. If you lose it, you will not be able to re-enter the park. Special reminder: Starting in May 2014, this Park-to-Park pass allows you to travel between the two parks via the Harry Potter and the Harry Potter World train, which is very convenient. 
Before entering the park, I recommend leaving your camera behind for the first two days. Just bring your phone. You'll have the third day to relax and take photos, catching up on any activities you missed on the first two days. There's no need to take too many photos, as carrying a camera is tiring and inconvenient. Since there are so many activities in the city on the first day, it's safe to bring your camera. After all, there are luggage storage boxes next to almost every exciting attraction. However, be sure to have extra $1 or $0.25 coins handy for quick luggage storage. 
It's best to wear clothes with pockets so you can store your phone or bank card, reducing your luggage and allowing you to fully enjoy the ride. Also, before entering the park, everyone will undergo a security check, so please try to carry minimal luggage. Those without bags can go through security directly without wasting time. 
After entering the park and passing security, you'll walk through a long skywalk to the park entrance. We recommend grabbing a park map and making your way through the crowds to get to the entrance as early as possible. You can take some photos, but don't waste too much time on them, as waiting in line will only waste more time. Since the park wasn't crowded during spring, we entered a little after 9:00 AM and leisurely strolled through the park, snapping photos and acting cute as we made our way to the entrance of Universal Studios Florida. We exchanged our tickets at the ticket office and then went through the ticket check, which took about 20 minutes. Since we were early, there weren't many people around. 

In the United States, only Universal Studios Orlando has a Harry Potter pavilion. 
Universal Orlando is divided into three large parks: Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, and Volcano Bay. The first two are the most popular. Each park typically takes a day, so we spent two days exploring all the main attractions in the first two. 
I bought the park to park ticket (two-day ticket) in advance online for $265. There are also various types of tickets such as 2-park 1-day ticket, 1-park 1-day ticket, etc. You can choose the appropriate ticket type according to your needs. 
Attached is the official ticket website (***?flr=0&days=1) 
The park has a wide variety of themed areas, including Minions, Shrek the Monsters, Transformers, Harry Potter, The Mummy Returns, and Disaster Movie. I mainly focused on the Harry Potter area, but also visited Transformers and Minions areas during my time there. 

I bought a one-day two-park ticket + express ticket for Universal Studios. 
When purchasing online, you can scan the QR code with your mobile phone at Universal Studios. 
Upon entering, I took a photo by the big ball at the entrance – a standard "I've been here" check-in… then rushed inside! But when I got to the door, I found that there was still a line and it hadn't opened yet. 
Extra hours are only for the Harry Potter lands, and not necessarily for both parks to be open that day. For example, June 15th was Universal Studios' extra hour, so we went there early in the morning. It seemed quite busy (compared to Disneyland). I bought an express ticket to try the first Harry Potter attraction, but discovered it wasn't available before 9:00 PM! Be warned! The lines were quite elaborate. 
I have to criticize Universal Studios! I bought the Limited Express to save money, but after I first got in, the ride closed and our Express was invalidated. The second time I got in, I had to wait in line... I was in tears. 

It's really good, with several main parts. I recommend the Harry Potter section. I bought two wands, each a little over $40. After buying them, I suddenly remembered to search on Taobao, and there they were. They were exactly the same, made in China. They cost a little over 40 RMB on Taobao.

Universal Studios Express tickets need to be purchased online. Although the entire amusement park is divided into two parts, neither is very large. I chose to go on a weekday and there were very few people, so it is not recommended to buy them. 
I tried all the rafting and whitewater rafting in Universal Studios. There was one where you had to sit in a round kayak. Take my advice, don't try it. Not only was it boring, but you also got sprayed with water all over. You were basically soaked when you got off. It was a really painful experience. 

Universal Studios - Not crowded on weekdays. Parking is easy. Using the single-passenger lanes is much faster when it comes to attractions. The Hollywood City Tour and Hogwarts Castle are definitely must-dos. The Hollywood City Tour takes about half an hour, and one tour is in Mandarin. The guide's Chinese accent was hilarious, making me laugh the entire way.

King Kong recommendation level: ***** 
Effect: 4D movie + unlimited flying car, extremely realistic, please quietly play a weak woman and let King Kong save you 
Appearing as King Kong, during the game you will take a train, the door will open for you, and you can explore the unknown world. 
Spider-Man Recommendation Level: ***** 
Effect: 4D movie + unlimited roller coaster 
Jurassic Water Park Recommendation Level: ***** 
There are two water projects in MapleStory. This one will make you slightly wet. Uh, the front row will be hurt more. 
Waterfall Recommendation Level: ***** 
Tips: Be prepared to get soaked. If you don't want to get soaked, bring your own raincoat. The staff will remind you to stretch your legs, but if you don't want your lower body to get soaked, it's recommended not to do so. 
The scenic spot's star drink is delicious and sold in many places. I recommend having a cup. 
Minions recommendation index: ***** 
It was so cute that after watching the movie, I started buying dolls like crazy. 
Transformers: The Ride-3D 
Super shocking, highly recommended, it is recommended to play in the morning. 
Shrek 4-D 
The theater can accommodate hundreds of people at a time, so you can go to the movies in the afternoon. The waiting time is basically about 20 minutes. 
Recommendation index: ***** 
There is a touching little plot. 

It's really fun, I will go again if I have the chance

I went to Universal Studios in Los Angeles ten years ago and was deeply impressed, especially The Simpson Ride, which I can't forget. 
Our family of three bought one-day tickets for a single Universal Studios theater. My child, only four and a half, was a bit frightened when we first saw Shrek 4D, a movie. We decided against going to movies after that, and we didn't do any of the thrilling rides, including the Transformers ride, which he'd been craving. 
Fortunately, there are many performances in Universal Studios, and the performances are very frequent. Even if you don’t experience the various rides, you can still spend a good day watching the performances and strolling around. 
It's worth mentioning that this Universal Studios also boasts the largest Harry Potter Magic City, complete with a dedicated section selling magic wands and costumes. Many Harry Potter fans, dressed in robes, strolled through Universal Studios on a hot day. We even saw a dragon breathing fire in the Magic City. My son was particularly delighted by the magic wand experience and didn't want to leave. 
The performances at the studio were all of a high standard, from acrobatics to singing, and the performers were incredibly dedicated and professional. One show, called Fear Factor Live, was downright disgusting. Animal Actors, a show with animals, was something I saw in Los Angeles and was engaging but not breathtaking. 
There are shopping areas everywhere inside the studio, and there are various animation derivative products, but the prices are not cheap. 
Overall, Universal Studios is very good. The construction of the entire campus can be seen everywhere, and the staff are very professional. It is worth a visit. 

This is one of the more thrilling Universal Studios parks I've visited. While most of the rides are similar to other parks, there are a few roller coasters that are really cool! The Islands of Adventure are especially thrilling, as they're perfect for me!

The ticket purchasing process was not as smooth as Disney 
2017.11.11 We bought two adult and one child tickets for Universal Studios in advance on Taobao 
Ticket price 1516+736, total 2252 for three people 
Children's tickets are almost the same as adult tickets 
At that time, the customer service said that both parks can be visited. 
However, when we finished playing MapleStory and were about to take the Hogwarts train to another park, 
Only then did we realize that we only bought tickets for one of the two parks. 
But the decision is made 
Pay the additional ticket for another park immediately at Hogwarts Station 
Three people paid an additional $175 
Dad Tian might be smiling with tears in his eyes as he signs for his credit card with a feather pen. 
Minions 4D, Shrek 4D, The Simpsons 4D, etc. 
All very exciting 
Universal Studios also has a variety of float parades 
The date we went was during Mardi Gras 
An unusually lively carnival party 

Do I need to buy a dining plan? 
Buy one, it's cheaper than buying it directly in the park, buy it on the official website. And the meal voucher can be used in the Harry Potter area, but the drink voucher cannot be exchanged for Butterbeer, but you can use the snack voucher. 
Universal Studios has numerous Coca-Cola self-service machines, each offering a wide variety of flavors. You use the park's own special cups to fill your cups. The cups have a chip that detects the machine, allowing unlimited drinking within a specified timeframe. There's a chilling period between refills. The cups are large, so if you're traveling with two people, one is enough. Keep in mind, water is quite expensive in the park, so on such a hot day, the unlimited drinking is a real bonus. 
There are two types of meal coupons, one with a cup and one without a cup. If two people are traveling together, just buy one of each ~ the best value for money! 
Universal Studios has Diagon Alley, Minions, Transformers, Revenge of the Mummy, The Simpsons, Shrek, a 90-degree Hollywood roller coaster, and more. 
The roller coaster is called Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, and its characteristic is a 90-degree rise followed by a huge dive and a whooshing start. 
Popular attraction, Minions. The lines are still long during peak season because it's a favorite among children. It's also a 4D movie series, but it doesn't have the small roller coasters like Transformers and Spider-Man. There's a big screen in front of you, and you sit on seats that can be raised and lowered, and you can happily explore with the cute Minions. Minions animations play in the waiting area, so you won't be bored. 

We went in January 2018. Since it wasn't peak season, the lines weren't long. I also recommend going during off-peak season and skipping the express ticket. You can definitely explore all the facilities in the academy in one day. Finally, I recommend taking the Despicable Me ride, which is fun for all ages.

Undoubtedly highly recommended!!! The largest in the United States! 
You can buy a 3-day park-to-park ticket on the app, which is cheaper than the official website. You can visit multiple parks and even try the Harry Potter Express. 

My family bought a one-day, two-park ticket (booked on Taobao). This ticket entitles you to a round-trip train ride between the two parks, which opens at 9 AM (parking is available for those driving, and costs $20 per day). So, we headed to the Harry Potter King's Station in Studio Park early in the morning, where we took the train to Harry Potter School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and then to the Harry Potter Castle in Adventure Park! Adventure Park is more suitable for adults (children must be at least 1.2 meters tall) and features many thrilling rides, including roller coasters. For children, Studio Park is a better choice, with attractions like Shrek the Monsters 4D Movie, Minions Land, and ET Discovery Land. In the evening, Studio Park hosts a float parade, and you can enjoy the show from the roadside after dark.

One day is not enough to play, it is difficult to keep up with the pace without some physical strength. The Minions are the most interesting and the experience is very strong.

The super-large Transformers can move and talk, and it is so realistically restored right in front of you. It's really awesome!

Since I didn't buy Fast Express, I had to plan my route carefully and arrive early. Fast Express is over $120, which is quite expensive. There's a drink recommended in the guidebook for Harry Potter Land: butter beer. I queued up to buy one to try, but it wasn't my cup of tea. The butter on top was a bit sweet, not beer-like. 
Download a Universal Studio app to check the waiting time and choose the appropriate route. The waiting time for Minions is always more than an hour, and Shrek 4D is also a good choice. The rest depends on your own passion. 
Be sure to wear a raincoat when rafting, otherwise you will get soaked all over and can only rely on the sun and your own energy to keep your clothes dry. The gate opens at 10 o'clock, and we were the first wave to go in, so the waiting time was relatively short. It is not a very exciting project, suitable for adults and children to play together. If you play on the Island, it is best to wear sandals, there are many water projects. 

Be sure to download the official app on your phone, Universal Orlando Restort App. It is very useful and can locate you, check the real-time start time of each project performance, etc. With it, you will never get lost.

This is my second time at Universal Orlando. The highlight is, of course, the Harry Potter rides (I'm a Harry Potter fan). I recommend Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey (I took the single rider ride four times). As a 3D/4D simulation ride enthusiast, I really enjoyed Universal's rides! They're thrilling without the overwhelming feeling of weightlessness.

I highly recommend visiting Universal Studios during the National Day holiday. Since it's not a public holiday, nor is it a winter or summer holiday, there are fewer people, and the weather is great, with little rain. Basically, every ride takes 10-15 minutes to get in line, with a few popular rides taking half an hour. 
As soon as I entered, I got a map and then couldn't help but go to the souvenir shop for a look. 
The dragon in Figure 1 can breathe fire, about once every 10 minutes. 
I bought a butter beer, the taste wasn't particularly amazing, but it was very pleasant to drink cold in the hot weather. I think there were two options, one with slushie in it, which we chose. 
I particularly like the *** Story series. The characters are very cute and the music is lively. 
What's an amusement park without turkey legs? We bought one and shared it among the four of us. And the drink cups, which allow unlimited refills at any self-service machine, let you try all sorts of carbonated drinks, but there's a time limit between refills. When you buy a cup, you can choose a day's supply, and you can carry it with you for the next few days. We happened to see Halloween-themed cups, so we bought them. 
The last project was to send postcards. After receiving them, I found out that Universal Studios used Harry Potter-themed stickers to exchange stamps, which was quite meaningful. 

Universal Studios is a two-day experience. To get the unlimited express access, I booked the Royal Pacific Hotel for a special price. As an official partner hotel, every guest gets an hour's early entry and unlimited express access, which was a great deal. On the first day, I went to Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey an hour early. I'd been to Universal Studios Osaka before, but couldn't understand a word of Japanese. This time, the English environment was fantastic. This park has a ton of water rides, and there are paid dryers afterward, but they weren't very effective. On the second day, I went to the Shrek the Minions area, which also has a Harry Potter ride and a Charizard. There's a London area in this park that's incredibly realistic. I'll definitely be back to Universal Studios next time I'm in Orlando. By the way, the service and products at Universal Studios Osaka are better than the one in Orlando, but the rides are still the best in Orlando!

It's super exciting, and the Harry Potter theme park is also great ~ I will go again next time!

My son brought it here, it's great! Young people like it more

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter! Here I come! 
Marvel superheroes! I especially love Iron Man! Yeah~ 
Super cool VR experience, super exciting roller coaster, super restored magic world, it couldn’t be better! 

The best theme park experience in the world, no one. I have been to Universal Studios in Osaka (although it is also good), Hong Kong Disneyland, and Orlando Disneyland, but I still think that US in Orlando is the best.

Many hotels are within walking distance. It was quite crowded when we went, but it was fun. I liked the Harry Potter theme park the most.

The 3D movie immersion effects of various rides and shows in the park are great, and the food at Citywalk is rich in variety. 

No hesitation! Go, go, go! Diagon Alley, the Harry Potter area, is right here, as is King's Cross Station, the non-existent number 12, Sirius's home, and the adaptive (?!) bus. There are tons of wand interactions in Diagon Alley! Dreamland! Say hello to the head hanging from the bus and chat with it; it's quite humorous. Knock on the door of number 12, and Kreacher will peek down from the curtains. The Silver Pavilion ride has a single ride, which saves a lot of lines, but you'll miss the main hall. Take two rides: one early to queue, and one as a single ride (aka: a bonus for singles). And as you know, the dragon breathes fire every ten minutes, but it seems they have a break on weekdays. Other than that, I recommend the Minions 4D, the Mummy ride, and the Transformers ride—all of which have single rides (no hesitation, take the single ride; it's not much different, but it saves you the long lines). Also, the horror make-up show (super funny!) and the Terminator show (amazing!). Don't even bother watching the parade here. Turn right onto Disneyland (what a turn!). The Rock & Roll roller coaster is too timid for me.

The three parks are world-class in both scale and architecture, surpassing even the Los Angeles studios. The buildings are stunning, and the shows, whether reality shows or movies, are exceptional. The parks are beautiful and colorful, and the towering roller coasters are thrilling. Children thrive in the park.

It's a great amusement park that recreates movie scenes so realistically that you can completely immerse yourself in the entire park.

Aside from the roller coaster, the other rides weren't thrilling, but they were fun, especially the Harry Potter area. I definitely need to install the official app, which lets you check queue times and learn about park activities. We were there on Halloween, so the park closed at 5 p.m. There were special Halloween events in the evening, which required separate tickets, so be mindful of the time.

We were caught in a once-in-a-century power outage, which was insane. All the tourists flocked to the Islands of Adventure, resulting in long lines and no entry until 11 a.m. The Harry Potter area, which originally closed at 5 p.m., also had extended its hours, so we went right away at 6 p.m., skipping the lines. I heard the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster is pretty cool, but I didn't dare get on it.

The Harry Potter park is awesome, and the other rides are great, but the infrastructure is average, not as good as expected.

Universal Studios will never disappoint you, but the most interesting thing here must be the Harry Potter Magic Castle. For details, you can read my travel notes. 

There are two main attractions you should visit when visiting Orlando: Universal Studios and Walt Disney World. Pretty self-explanatory, right?

Compared to Los Angeles, the attractions here are just as good! Especially the tower, the lines were so long! You don't get to experience weightlessness very often in your life. When your bag and your body are floating in the air, it feels like you're leaving the earth!

Universal Studios is an absolute paradise for movie lovers. Like other Orlando amusement parks, the decorations and scenery are exquisitely beautiful. My favorite ride was the Transformers-themed attraction. My friends and I were absolutely thrilled from beginning to end. It was like being in the movie, falling from a tall building in a car and then being rescued by Bumblebee and Optimus Prime. The red track vertical roller coaster is right at the entrance to Universal Studios. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to experience it. I hope to make up for this regret in the future!

I'd been to Universal Studios in LA before and couldn't get enough, so I went to Universal Studios Florida for my honeymoon. It couldn't be more amazing!!! Universal Studios in LA has two parks, each occupying a section of the Harry Potter theme park. You can take the Hogwarts Train between the two parks (note: you need a two-park pass to ride this; I bought a two-day, two-park ticket). Some hotels near the studios offer an hour's priority entry, so if you're planning on going, be sure to check carefully before booking your hotel. I highly recommend starting with the Harry Potter castle experience; it was amazing! Even my husband, who isn't a Harry Potter fan, was captivated by it. I particularly remember the Despicable Me, Transformers, Harry Potter Castle, and The Simpsons. I didn't get to go to the one with the Charizard because the line was so long, which was a huge shame. There are two types of wands: a standard one and one that you can wave at windows and features in the Harry Potter castle for special effects. The box with this wand includes a map clearly showing which features you can interact with, so Harry Potter fans shouldn't miss it! (Also, I recommend wearing sandals before going to Islands of Adventure... because there was a water facility where I was soaked from head to toe, inside and out. Of course, it had something to do with where I was sitting, but who can know where they'll sit in advance? It's a matter of chance... Anyway, my husband and I were the unlucky ones... The foreigners with us pointed at my husband and me and laughed... Emma's hearty laughter...) In short, I think Universal Studios is really amazing. The facilities in China really can't compare. Highly recommended! I will go there again if I have the chance in the future~

You must go and experience it, it's really great, all kinds of animated characters are well made~ 

The ticket price is a bit expensive, but the game projects are well made, especially the Harry Potter area

Universal Studios Orlando doesn't have a subway to get to it like the one in Los Angeles, so we chose a hotel near the studios. The surrounding hotels all have buses to get there, making it very convenient. We arrived around 8 a.m., and there were few people in the morning, so there was basically no queue for tickets. If you're arriving during a public holiday, it's best to buy your tickets online in advance. 
 *** 
Universal Studios Orlando is divided into two parks, so it's best to buy a one-day ticket for both. The most popular Harry Potter attraction is located in both. The Universal Studios area features the small town where Harry Potter and the Enchanted World begins. There are shops selling various souvenirs, including the Goblin Bank, where a dragon breathes fire every hour. Inside the bank, there's a 3D chairlift with a long line. You need to check your bag in before you can ride it. After the 1:25 hour free check-in period, there's a fee. Just outside the town is King's Cross Train Station, where you can take the train to Islands of Adventure, where the Wizarding School is located. The line is at least 30 minutes long, and it's a favorite among Harry Potter fans. The train features scenes from the films, and the journey is a short few minutes. The most popular attraction at the Wizarding School is the 3D chairlift in the castle, which also requires checking in your bag, just like at the bank. Inside, the castle is decorated just like in the films, with animated paintings, photos, a library, and hats used to separate the houses, ensuring a pleasant wait. The dim lighting doesn't make for ideal photos. There's also a large roller coaster at the Wizarding School. After exiting Harry Potter Land, to the left was The Lost Continent, featuring a Sinbad show. Next to it was the Wrath of Poseidon small theater. I skipped the children's play area. I followed the path to Super Hero Island, where I had a 3D Spider-Man ride and a FEARFALL chair-descent ride, which I didn't dare try. Toon Lagoon and Jurassic Park were both water rides, and I got completely soaked. There were dryers nearby for $5 each, but the Orlando sun dried them quickly. After Jurassic Park, I returned to Harry Potter and the Wizardry School and took the train back to the other land. The scenery was different this time. Back at Universal Studios, I tried several key attractions, including MIB, a 3D Terminator 2 show, Shrek 4D, and Transformers 3D. There was also a parade around 5:00 PM while I waited for Shrek. Although Universal Studios is open until 10:00 PM, there were fireworks around 8:00 PM, but I was so exhausted I headed straight back to the hotel. 

10000% The Harry Potter park is so similar. Actually, I prefer the Minions. But every park is fun. The 4D roller coaster was my first time and it was amazing.

There are two Harry Potter theme parks, one Hogsmeade and the other Diagon Alley, which can be reached by express train. It is a place where people will linger.

I would give it 10 out of 10. It's so fun! So beautiful! 
Don't go during peak season!!! Too many people and the queues are too long!! 

I went to Orlando early last year, primarily because I wanted to visit Universal Studios. I've been a fan of movies since I was a kid. I booked my tickets through this website. I looked up a lot of travel guides and was recommended by many people online, and I wasn't disappointed.

A must-see attraction in Orlando, with lots of 4D projects!

The attractions at Universal Studios are more classic, with more attractions than at Universal City. The character parade and Macy's parade also take place at Universal Studios. Overall, Universal Studios is more exciting and has more attractions. The rides here are mainly indoors, with popular rides like Minions, The Simpsons, Transformers, and Diagon Alley. Unfortunately, the lines for the Minions were always over 60 minutes, usually 90 minutes. We really didn't want to wait in line, so we didn't go. It was a shame. If you buy an express ticket, you can just buy one for Universal Studios. 
    Speaking of Diagon Alley, the dragon atop Gringotts breathes fire. When we arrived, it wasn't crowded, and we saw a wizard-like figure wave his wand, and the dragon suddenly began to breathe fire. 

The 10 p.m. water screen movie is a heartwarming experience, allowing you to reminisce about Universal Studios' century-long history. The Harry Potter theme park is located at both Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios, so those who don't want to spend the extra money can still choose to watch it from the other side. Every half hour, the dragon at Universal Studios breathes fire, so it can be a bit warm standing there.

Studio's Gringotts is a real gem. The Charizard statue spews fire every ten minutes, which is amazing! I highly recommend the Harry Potter journey and the Transformers ride. If you have enough money, you can buy the Express. Anyone who has used it knows.

You must go! Orlando must go, Harry Potter World is awesome!

After visiting both Universal Studios Los Angeles and Orlando, I prefer the one in Los Angeles. Although Universal Studios Orlando is larger, with two parks and the newly built Harry Potter Park, it lacks classic features and characteristics, and is more like a purely commercial children's park. The Universal Studios in Los Angeles retains more studio features. The little train takes you to visit classic film shooting locations, special effects shows, etc., which will make you linger.

It was great and fun, the park is huge, and the variety of styles is superb.

It was super fun! Especially the Harry Potter theme park! I'm a bit timid and didn't dare to do anything too exciting, but I still had a lot of fun! People who are a little braver will definitely have a lot of fun there! It's not like amusement parks like Happy Valley. Not only do they have exciting rides, but they also have some high-tech things to experience. It's pretty good~

I believe everyone who visits Orlando dreams of visiting Universal Studios! During my year as an exchange student in Colorado, USA, I did so many surprising things and visited so many places. Orlando is a place I never thought I'd visit so soon. I went with a woman with a disability certificate, so we didn't have to wait in lines for long, and I probably saw as much in one day as others would in two. The various roller coasters were amazing, and there were also some for kids—the Minions and Shrek sections—which were super cute! I personally think the best part was the two Harry Potter theme parks; they fulfilled my long-held dream of becoming a wizard. Riding the Quidditch roller coaster, with its 3D effects, felt like I was riding a broomstick around the field, winning glory for Gryffindor.

Orlando was incredibly hot, with a bright sun and not a single cloud in sight. It was the perfect weather for water activities. Popeye the Sailor at the Disneyland Resort got us completely soaked. Everyone seemed happy and friendly at the amusement park. Almost every ride had a line, but it was very organized. Fastpass tickets go much faster, costing $100 more than regular tickets, I think, but I can't quite remember. If you're short on time and have to choose between Disneyland and Universal Studios, it has to be Universal. It's truly fun.

Harry Potter! This is the place I've always dreamed of. It's a place where magic comes true. You have to go.

You absolutely must go, you absolutely must go, you absolutely must go. I can't say this enough. If you only have one day, definitely buy the FastPass; there are so many fun attractions. And definitely buy the Double Park Ticket so you can ride the Harry Potter train. The Magic Town and the Minions couldn't be better.

Due to a tight schedule, we didn't plan to visit Islands of Adventure. As some of my friends mentioned, each park requires a full day. To avoid the tedious lines, I bought an express ticket. It was a bit pricey, but it was well worth it. I tried almost all the attractions my friends mentioned. Recommended attractions: Despicable Me Minion Mayhem, Shrek 4D, Transformers, Terminator 2, The Simpsons ride, Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts, Revenge of the Mummy, Disaster, and Fear Factor Live. You can't use the express ticket for the Harry Potter rides, so I queued for a single pass instead. This saved me time, and while you wouldn't be sitting together, you'd likely be on the same bus.

Today I went to Universal Studios. I booked a one-day ticket for both parks in advance, which includes unlimited shuttle train rides. Universal Orlando's biggest draw is Harry Potter, the first Harry Potter land in the world. Although Universal Osaka opened a Harry Potter theme park last year, the shuttle train is still unique to Orlando. It left the deepest impression on me, and I found the rides in both attractions to be the most enjoyable.

I chose the Orlando Studios instead of the one in Los Angeles because it was less crowded and I didn't have to wait in line. I came here just for Harry Potter. 
1. Tickets: $120.00 per person, booked online. A two-day basic package includes a free third day, but you can't enter both parks on the same day. There's one Harry Potter theme park in each park, and you can take the Hogwarts Express to connect them. Our package didn't include this, so we'll save it for next time! 
2. I discovered a great trick: you don't have to interact with others while riding. You can choose the Singal Rider option, which allows you to queue up alone and fill in the empty seats, so you can practically skip the lines! This trick allowed us to do many of the theme parks two or three times, like the popular Spider-Man, Transformers, and Harry Potter. We explored both parks in a day and a half, but the only one with the longest line was Minions, which is the kids' favorite! 

The package includes a two-park pass, which grants unlimited travel to Hogwarts Castle (also known as Hogsmeade Village) in Islands of Adventure and Diagon Alley in the other park, connected by the Hogwarts Express. Those without the two-park pass won't be able to experience this experience, but if you're a Harry Potter fan, the two-park pass is highly recommended for its immersive experience.

Because the park had just opened, there were not many people. I waited in line for about 15 minutes and finally entered a place similar to a movie theater. In fact, Universal Studios is basically a variety of 4D movies, but the effects are very good.

You can play in Universal Studios for several days. We had limited time and only played for 2 days. In order to save time, we bought fast passes for two people. While others were waiting in line to play the projects, we could go in directly. It was very convenient!

The biggest draw is the Harry Potter City! It's incredibly realistic, and there's even a 3D roller coaster. My friend and I rode it, and she screamed the entire time. I didn't find it that scary, but there was a fire section that felt very real. The weather was bad when we went, so we bought some clothes inside. But afterward, they said it was a really nice souvenir. Time was limited, so we only spent one day at both Universal Studios parks. We mainly went to see Harry Potter. The Butterbeer was definitely a big deal; many people bought it. It was delicious, though a bit too much for me. We waited in line for over an hour to get into the 4D Harry Potter roller coaster. There are free lockers inside, but they have time limits. Don't worry, though; it's plenty of time to go around.

Harry Potter fans, look here! The Harry Potter theme park spans across the Theme Park and Island of Adventure. The Theme Park is Diagon Alley, and the Rider is the Gringotts roller coaster adventure based on the storyline of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. 
The Island of Adventure is themed around Hogsmeade and Hogwarts Castle. It features three rides, all based on the plot of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, Flight of the Hippogriff, and Dragon Challenge. 
The Hogwarts Express, a special train with a red engine, runs between Platform 9+3/4 of King's Station and Hogsmeade. 

At the beginning, we went straight to Diagon Alley of Adventure, which is a newly opened park. The details are really well done. The entrance immediately gives you a feeling of going from the city to another world! 
The famous fire-breathing dragon spews fire about every ten minutes, so don't worry about missing it, just watch the time and wait! Diagon Alley is not big, and there are a lot of tourists. There are many interesting shops that sell a lot of fun small commodities from the movie, and there are also shops selling wizard robes. You can take pictures in the shops as you like, which is great. 
There are many scene experiences in the theme park, such as Harry Potter buying a wand for the first time and exchanging money at the Elf Bank. They are all very interesting. The elves are so lifelike that you can't believe your eyes. 
There is a very thoughtful design that the magic wand you buy can really cast magic in the theme park. It can make the fountain spray water and the umbrella rain. It really fulfilled the dream of a magician. Haha 
Another famous drink in Diagon Alley is Butterbeer, which is quite famous and worth a try. As for the taste, you’ll know after trying it, haha. After Diagon Alley, we plan to take the train from the famous King Cross Nine and Three Quarters station to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This train actually connects the Adventure and Studio parks. There are a lot of queues during peak season, and the waiting time is about 45-120 minutes. Express is not available. If you don’t want to wait that long, you can walk to the other park, which takes about ten minutes. But this train is also a famous attraction in Harry Potter! You must not miss it! It is worth mentioning that the station even has a scene simulating walking through the wall to enter the magic station. The detailed experience is great. 
As the name suggests, most of the rides at Adventure are roller coasters, and Harry Potter's Castle is no exception. However, this roller coaster is truly unique and unlike anything you've ever imagined! It lets you experience the sensation of flying on a broomstick! I'm not a roller coaster person, and while I felt a little uncomfortable sitting down, it was definitely worth it. 
The only ride I took was the Jurassic Park River Adventure water roller coaster, which I was tricked into. The movie scenes along the way were very realistic, and the drop at the end was quite large. 

You must go Harry Potter Park in Orlando Universal Studio.

Since I had been there once before, this time I focused on the Harry Potter parks. Hogsmeade is located at Islands of Adventure, and Diagon Alley is located at Universal Studios Florida. In order to visit both parks in one day and ride the Hogwarts Express, we bought park-to-park tickets.

This hall is really impressive! In comparison, I think the newly opened Diagon Alley is more fun than the Wizarding Village, and there are more interesting places, probably because it just opened.
Universal Studios Florida features nine zones: Production Central, New York, San Francisco, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley, World Expo, Springfield: Home of the Simpsons, Woody Woodpecker's KidZone, Hollywood, and Park-Wide Performances. The most unique of these zones is Harry Potter's Diagon Alley, a unique feature currently found only in Universal Studios Orlando.
