    Filed under: Uncategorized;

    Universal Orlando Resort has grown over the years and has more than enough attractions to keep everyone busy. Universal Orlando was born back in 1990 with the opening of Universal Studios Orlando.

    Universal Studios theme park lets visitors 'ride the movie'. It resembles the Universal park in Hollywood, CA and has some iconic sets (like the house from Psycho). The park is set up in six zones - Hollywood, Production Central, New York, San Francisco / Amity, World Expo and KidZone. There is a lot to see in this park and many of the attractions allow for audience participation. You can get scared by riding the Mummy or get a behind the scenes look at how a scene is filmed. There is also the famous 'Jaws' ride, where you come face to face with the great white. Their newest ride is due to open in the Spring 2009 and is called the Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit. The roller coaster will be a welcomed addition that is supposed to offer a 'record breaking' loop.
