Islands of Adventure is a Theme Park, in fact it is THE Theme Park. Located in Orlando as part of the Universal Studios resort, it opened in 1999 with Steven Spielberg as it's creative consultant.
It makes U.K Theme Parks (and I'm not knocking them) look like broken down travelling fairs with two dodgy-looking rides. The theming of the park is breathtaking, each 'land' has an entirely unique look and even the soundtrack is great. Oh, and lastly, ... ...my girlfriend.
LOCATION
Islands of Adventure is located in Orlando near International Drive. The park is opposite Universal Studios which is linked by City Walk - an complex of bars, nightclubs, restaurants and shops. The park can be reached by water taxi if staying at any of the Universal Hotels, there are large car parks and most hotels on International Drive have free buses that go there every morning. The car parks and bus parks are linked ...

Advantages: Great Park, Rides for all ages Disadvantages: None
...Studios Resort with Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and linking them both City Walk. The Universal Studios Resort may be the poor relation when it comes to attraction visitors but having spent two days at Island of Adventure I can definitely recommend you spend a day there be you a thrill seeker, a scared parent, a tweenie or a tiny tot it has something to offer everyone. With it's compact nature it is also extremely easy to do in a day and ... ...on.
Location:
Islands of Adventure is located at the northern end of International Drive, once you've either parked up, jumped out of your taxi or hopped off one of the frequent Lynx buses that goes there it is only a short stroll via the City walk area which links both Islands of adventure and Universal Studios. This to me was a plus point having spent a week "doing" Disney where it meant queuing for buses, jumping on monorails or taking a boat ...

Advantages: Fun and lots of great rides Disadvantages: None
...in the Universal park ' Islands of Adventure' - it really is one of the best parks in Florida in my opinion and I'll go through what makes this park so good.
Entrance:
The park entrance is included in the pre purchase tickets you can buy in the UK before travelling to Orlando, which is the Flexi ticket. A Flexi ticket in the UK costs for an adult approximately £149 - 159 depending on who you purchase from and this will allow you entry to 6 different ... ...days. Not bad at all really. The other parks included are the Universal studios, Busch gardens, Seaworld, Wet and wild and the new park that only opened this month, Aquatica. It will also allow you entry to some venues in Citywalk free which saves on paying for club entrance fees. If however you want to pay on the gate you can do and this will cost you in the region of £50 so really it is always best to prebook the whole lot before you go as much ...

...you unlimited admission to Universal's Islands of Adventure, Universal Studios, Wet 'n Wild World and SeaWorld Orlando. Add Busch Gardens, Tampa Bay and there's non-stop excitement with the 5-Park Orlando FlexTicket.
Orlando FlexTickets are the only way to maximise the fun of a Florida holiday:
Variety - Unlimited access to a combination of 4 or 5 of the most popular theme parks in Florida Flexibility - You can visit any or all of the parks everyday. ... ...than it need be.
Islands of Adventure is on International Drive and is very easy to get to, infact most hotels run free shuttle buses. When you arrive at the park the first thing you do is go through the Citywalk, which is full of shops, restaurants and bars (this is great nighttime entertainment, especially if you have no kids).
You go through the security, which is a few guys cheacking bags to make sure you're not taking anything dodgy into the ...

...following parks; (Universal Studios, Universal's Islands of Adventure, SeaWorld, SeaWorld's brand new waterpark Aquatica, Wet 'n Wild, and Busch Gardens) The pass cost a total of $280 for adults and $233 for children aged 3-9. I found this to be the best value, because it worked out cheaper, and since I was going to be in Florida for some time, I thought I might as well visit a few parks.
However, if you're not in town for a long time, or any want ... ...and so on. All the islands are attached together and are focused around a water lagoon, which is inhabited by local birds and ducks.
The Entrance:
The entrance, which is more commonly known as the Port of Entry, is the main big feature that you see when first entering the island. Here we have several dinners, guest's enquiry areas, toilets, park information desks and lockers to place valuables. The main feature of the port of entry has to be the ...
