Universal's Islands of Adventure

Local name: Islands of Adventure

Open World-class Last verified: 5 Oct 2026

Theme park · Orlando, Florida, United States

Universal's Islands of Adventure, part of Universal Orlando Resort, combines serious roller coasters with themed dark rides. The 47 m VelociCoaster and The Incredible Hulk Coaster are the main draws for thrill seekers, while Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey and The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man work for most of the group. Gentler rides such as Caro-Seuss-el and The Cat in the Hat keep younger children busy, and the park fills a full day on its own.
