ORLANDO'S NEXT GENERATION THEME PARK
ISLANDS OF ADVENTURE
Revolutionary New Theme Park Home to Most
Thrilling Rides and Attractions Ever Created And World's
Most Beloved Cartoon Characters
Islands of Adventure is Orlando's next
generation theme park. With Academy Award-winning
producer/director Steven Spielberg as creative consultant, Islands
of Adventure introduces some of the most thrilling and
technologically advanced rides and attractions ever made, as well
as the world's most beloved characters, including The Cat in the
Hat, Spider-Man, Popeye, The Incredible Hulk, Sindbad and the
dinosaurs of Jurassic Park.
Islands of Adventure is adjacent to the Universal Studios
motion picture/ television theme park and is part of the resort
destination known as Universal Orlando, which features
dramatically themed hotels and an entertainment complex, CityWalk,
featuring an eclectic mix of themed specialty cafes and
restaurants, an unparalleled array of live music and nightclubs,
theaters and specialty shops.
Islands of Adventure houses Dueling Dragons, the world's first
dual racing roller coasters. The Dueling Dragons are constructed
with perilously intertwining paths of metal and dragon-shaped
racing cars, which furiously barrel towards and around each other
at speeds close to 60 mph, escaping collision by mere inches.
The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man is the first ride in
history to assimilate 3-D film, live-action and a revolutionary
"roving motion base simulator" to engage guests in the
famed comic book character's epic battle against the forces of
evil - including a stunning 400-foot freefall "sensory
descent."
Universal's creators of The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man
refer to it as the "next threshold attraction," which
combines the best of Universal Studios' famed Back To The Future
and Terminator 2: 3-D attractions, widely considered to be landmark
achievements.
Utilizing a powerfully designed special booster thrust system,
The Incredible Hulk Coaster hurls riders upward with G-force power
before sending them careening in wild zigzags ten stories above
the ground in a flying maze of intricate tracks, Byzantine paths
and a complete weightless inversion 110 feet from the ground,
before plunging under a bridge and into two deep underground
trenches. Such weightless inversion has never been attempted.
Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls is the first water flume ride
ever to send its riders plummeting 75 feet downward beneath the
surface of the water.
The 110-acre Islands of Adventure features five spectacularly
themed islands featuring innovative attractions, shows,
restaurants and rides:
Seuss Landing
A cacophony of colors, music and mood, Seuss Landing is where
the whimsical characters of Theodor "Dr. Seuss" Geisel's
famous books spring to life. Attractions include The Cat In The
Hat, Caro-Seussel, Green Eggs and Ham Cafe, If I Ran The Zoo, and
One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish.
Toon Lagoon
This delightful land is where everyone's favorite cartoon
characters live when they're not in the Sunday funnies. Visitors
will delight in Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls ride and Popeye
& Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges.
Marvel Super Hero Island
This island features epic battles between renowned super heroes
and super villains, with such exciting rides as Doctor Doom's
Fearfall, The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man and the Incredible
Hulk Coaster.
The Lost Continent
Myths and legends come to life in this mysterious, fog-shrouded
land, which features the Dueling Dragons double coaster ride,
Poseidon's Fury: Escape From the Lost City and The Eighth Voyage
of Sindbad.
Jurassic Park
 A full-fledged incarnation of the novel and motion picture,
this hauntingly fascinating island will be inhabited by the most
advanced animatronic creatures ever designed - dinosaurs that will
respond to the humans around them. In addition, Jurassic Park
River Adventure, featuring the longest and steepest water drop
ever built, a Discovery Center featuring an interactive
opportunity to create a dinosaur via DNA Sequencing (in the Jurassic
Park films, the dinosaurs were brought to life from DNA drawn
from mosquitoes fossilized in amber), Camp Jurassic, an
interactive play area with a multitude of adventures including
lava pits, amber caves and tropical rainforests, and new
Pteranodon Flyers, bring Jurassic Park roaring to life.
