Orlando Theme Parks Walt Disney World Universal Studios Islands of Adventure SeaWorld Busch Gardens Water Parks Dinner Theaters		Discount Islands of Adventure Tickets If you are looking for pure thrill rides, Islands of Adventure is the place for you. This theme park, by far, was my favorite in Orlando. From the rides to the layout to the food it seemed to have something for everyone. Even my mom who hates roller coasters and most rides had a great time there. They also had enough vomit-inducing rides that I had to go back a second day to get my fill. Looking for a great family hotel in Orlando? Check out the Homewood Suites Islands of Adventure is basically divided into 5 separate "islands", each with a different unique theme. The rides are state of the art marvels of engineering. Even the lines that take you to the rides are interesting from the castle and dungeon at the Dueling Dragons to the newspaper office for Spider Man. Many of the rides are one of a kind and actually had new technology developed just to pull them off. They even had to develop new construction techniques to build some of the buildings. Here is a quick overview of the different islands: Order your discount tickets online or call 407-396-4009. Marvel Super Hero Island: This was my favorite part of the park mainly because of the rides but also because I spent years collecting comic books. There are three main rides located on this island: The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman: This is an innovative 3-D ride that transports you to a battle between Spider Man and most of his main adversaries such as Dr. Octopus, Electro, and Calypso. The 3-D effects are amazing and no matter where you are sitting it looks like everything is jumping off the screen at you. This ride is hard to explain and you will have to ride it to believe it. The Incredible Hulk Coaster: As you accelerate from 0-40 MPH in two seconds and immediatly enter a zero gravity turn you will realize that this coaster is unlike any you have ever ridden. The acceleration is close to what fighter pilots experience when taking off of an aircraft carrier. There is at least 7 inversions on this coaster as well. Dr. Doom's Fear Fall: This devious device from the mind of Dr. Doom rockets you 150 feet straight up and then pushes you back down faster than gravity. The sheer speed of this ride makes it different from most other free fall rides. Jurassic Park: Enter the world of the dinosaurs as you pass through the gates of this island. The jungle setting, rustling bushes, and distant calls of the dinosaurs will have you looking all around to see where the dinosaurs are at. The centerpiece of this island is the Jurassic Park River Adventure. This rides starts off as a gentle river tour through the world of the dinosaurs until a malfunction sends the boat off course. As you dodge raptors you suddenly come upon the king of the dinosaurs: T-Rex. The only way out is an 85 foot plunge into total darkness. Add in the Discovery Center, Camp Jurassic, and the Triceratops Encounter and you will think you are on Isle Nublar. Toon Lagoon: Toon Lagoon is like walking through the Sunday morning funny papers. From Dagwood to Heathcliff to Popeye all your favorite cartoon characters are here. Toon Lagoon features two water rides, Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls and Popeye and Bluto's Bilge rat barges. Be prepared to get wet on these rides. They are a great way to cool off on a hot day. The Lost Continent: Explore a land of myths and legends on the Lost Continent. Here is where you will find the Dueling Dragonsroller coasters. They are the worlds first inverted near miss dueling roller coasters. What does this mean? This means there are not one but two coasters, you are hanging underneath the roller coaster track as opposed to sitting on top of it, and you come within inches of the other coaster numerous times throughout the ride. Be sure to ride in the very front of the Ice Dragon if you can and watch out for the wall (you will see what I mean). Be sure not to miss the Eighth Voyage of Sinbad live action stunt show. This show has everything from fire to water to sword fights to high falls. Also be sure to visit Poseidon's Fury. The water tunnel is one of the coolest effects I have seen. Seuss Landing: Stroll through the pages of Dr. Seuss’s brilliant creations as all the delightful stories you grew up with come to life at the whimsical, wonderful Seuss Landing. The Caro-Seuss-el contains creatures straight from the pages of your favorite Dr. Seuss stories. You can also eat a Green Eggs and Ham sandwich. One interesting fact about Seuss Landing is none of the buildings have any straight edges or corners. They even imported trees and bushes that had been bent by hurricanes. What tickets will I need? Your best bet for Islands of Adventure tickets will be the two or three day Universal Escape ticket which will get you unlimited admission to Islands of Adventure, Universal Studios, as well as Universal City Walk which is a collection of clubs, restaurants, and shops. This allows you to spend the morning riding the roller coasters and then relax in the afternoon and explore the movies. The three day Universal Escape ticket works out to around $35 per day for an adult ticket. Compare that to a single day ticket which can go for over $50! Another (and maybe better) option is the Orlando Flex ticket which gives you more theme park options and is the best value you will find for the Orlando theme parks. Find more information here.
