If you love rollercoasters, you have got to go. The Hulk is an awesome ride!

I wasn't crazy about it (I'm in my mid-30's) - lots of really really big rollercoaster rides. I usually like rides but these were a bit extreme. Universal Studios is one of my favorite places - I was disappointed since this was such a different experience. I would think that the 15-25 age group would love this place.

I am WELL past 25 and I LOVE Universal/Islands of Adventure. There are really only three big roller coasters. The parks are wonderfully themed. I went with a friend who will not ride a coaster and we are going back again this summer. If you stay in one of their on-site hotels, you just show your room key and get right in the express line. NO WAITING in long lines!
For great info, go to www.disboards.com and scroll down to the Universal forums.

Thanks so much everyone for all your comments on the park.
We are going down to Lake Mary, Fla. to pick up our daughter and move her back home so we kind of wanted to make it a vacation for all of us. It sounds like it will be fun for everyone. I am not a big roller coaster fan but the rest of the family is.
She mentioned that she had not gone to this park and had really wanted to before she moved back.
It is always nice to get some info from people who have already gone there since the parks tend to be awfully expensive.
Thanks again.

We went to Universal in Orlando the last week in February. It was great because there were no lines. We enjoyed the Studio side better. We are in our 50's & don't enjoy roller coasters.

After seeing how long the lines could be, we didn't feel the attractions were worth that kind of wait.

There are several water rides on the Islands side where you will get drenched, so take rain gear. Walmart sells a poncho for under $1.00 that folds to the size of a post card. The best attraction on the Islands side is Spiderman. Don't miss it.

When we went, they ran a special where you purchased two day passes and got the third day free. It included a week of free admission to the clubs in City Walk.

Have fun!

My husband and I are in our early 40's with no kids and LOVE this park. We rate a park by how many and how thrilling their coasters are. They have at least two really good ones here, plus a couple of way cool water rides and the awesome Spiderman ride. Beats anything Disney has to offer in my opinion. Enjoy!
