Universal Orlando Resort started with the Universal Studios Florida Theme Park in June 1990, known by many back in those days as “the little park that couldn’t.” After one of most disastrous opening days in recent theme park history, Universal Studios spent several years regrouping and reworking its attractions. All the hard work has been paying off for years now. While most of the original opening day attractions have been replaced or revamped to be nearly unrecognizable, the good news is that the folks at Universal have replaced them with many one-of-a-kind winners.

    I love Universal Studios. My son's favourite ride of all time was the Spiderman ride (he is only 4!). I was also impressed by Islands Of Adventure also owned by Universal Studios.
