Universal Studios Florida | Universal Orlando Resort
Universal Studios Florida is one of the theme parks of Universal Orlando Resort, and it’s also a working film and television studio. The park is comprised of six themed areas arranged around a lagoon, which are:
Production Central: The park’s main entrance and home to several motion picture sound stages. The Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit is also located in Production Central.
New York: This area is modeled after an New York cityscape and features architectural styles from past and present. Here you’ll find the popular ride Revenge of the Mummy: The Ride.
San Francisco/Amity: There are two themes at work here--one of a mature coastal city, hence San Francisco; and the other of a seasonal New England tourist town, hence Amity. The San Francisco area houses the Beetlejuice’s Rock and Roll Graveyard Revue attraction, and the Amity area is home to the Jaws attraction.
World Expo: This area is themed after the international expositions of the twentieth century and features the popular attraction Men in Black: Alien in Black along with The Simpson’s Ride.
Woody Woodpecker’s Kidzone: This is the place where younger kids can have some fun. There’s are two play areas, Fievel’s Playland and Curious George Goes to Town, and the E.T. Adventure attraction.
Hollywood: There are several recreations of some of Hollywood’s most famous landmarks from past and present including Schwab’s Drug Store, The Brown Derby, and Mel’s Drive In. Attractions include Terminator 2: 3-D Battle Across Time.
Character appearances at Universal Studios Florida vary and include Popeye & Olive Oyl, Lucy & Ricky Ricardo, Betty Boop, The Simpsons, Curious George, The Flintstones, SpongeBob SquarePants, and more.
