Editorial Review for Islands of Adventure – by Eyal Goldshmid
The Appeal
Universal Studios' Islands of Adventure is an enormous, thickly decorated smorgasbord of thrill rides and fantasies come alive. The entrance, appropriately called the Port of Entry, gives a strong indication of what to expect from the park: incredibly detailed buildings, towers, festive flags, vibrant colors and streets filled with vendors and performers.
Facts and Features
There are five islands in all: Marvel Super Hero Island, Toon Lagoon, Jurassic Park, the Lost Continent and Seuss Landing. With shows like "The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman" and rides like the Caro-seuss-el, the park keeps the entire family busy.

Insider Tips
Save TimeLines are long, slow-moving, exhausting and frustrating, so get to the park early and hit the popular rides or leave them for later in the afternoon or evening.

If you have a open mind, and haven't been brainwashed by too many Small World rides, this is the park for you. I've been to WDW (18) trips since it opened, but now I go to Universal Orlando. IMHO, the parks are for pre-teens and up, the resorts are gorgeous and affordable, and the Preferred Annual Pass is the best deal there is for a theme park anywhere. Definitely my #1 reason to go to Florida.
Pros: Awesome resorts, modern attractions, Nice and compact
Cons: Too far from home
