You enter the park through City Walk with an amazing view of the Hard Rock Cafe on your right! This park without a doubt is so much better than Disney.

We went to Orlando to visit Universal. We had a combo-ticket for all the parks of Universal and could use it for 7 days. A great deal for our visit. IoA was our first visit and we loved it. Great rides and great theming. Not a big park, but great fun and atmosphere. We liked the Hulk, Spiderman (best ride... more
