On Dr Doom’s Free-fall Rocket you will soar 150ft into the air and then, before you know it, plunge right back down again.

In the Lost Continent, full of ancient myths and legends, beware of the Dueling Dragons. Probably the most talked about and exciting inverted roller-coaster ride ever, where the Dueling Dragons (ice and fire) take you on a hair raising high speed ride of up to 55 mph. The Dragons pass within inches of each in a fight 125 ft in the air.

Poseidon’s Fury takes you deep under the sea, and, as the ancient Gods battle against each other with fireballs, lasers and underwater explosions, you will wonder whether you are trapped forever.

Not to be missed is The Eighth Voyage of Sinbad. A lively, funny stunt show which will have you laughing, booing and cheering as Sinbad and his friend Kabob try to rescue the princess from the wicked witch.

Jurassic Park takes you on a real life journey back in the time when dinosaur’s ruled the earth. Take a river raft ride and observe the dinosaurs in their natural habit, but beware, if one of them breaks through the fence, your only escape is an 85 ft plunge into total darkness, who knows where you might land.


Islands of Adventure at Universal OrlandoToon Lagoon presents to you Popeye, Pluto and the lovely Olive Oyl, take a trip on their Bilge-rat Barges for a white water rapid ride. Don’t forget the spinach. If you want to tire out the little ones, let them have a run around Popeye’s ship with 3 levels of interactive play.

Seuss Landing is where all of Dr Seuss characters come to life. Sit on the sofa and take a ride through his story land. Thing One and Thing Two are there to bring the expected chaos, but will it all be tidied before mum gets home ?

The Caro-Seuss-el is a magical merry-go round for the little ones. Sitting upon one of Dr Seuss creatures such as Dog-alopes or Aqua-moptops, the children can chat away, and the creatures will respond, with a blink of the eyes, a turn of the head or a wiggle of the ears.

You will meet most of your superhero’s and cartoon characters wandering along Comic Strip Lane. Make sure you have your camera ready to get a photo of them greeting your family.
