Our proper good guide to Universal Studios, Florida

ATTRACTIONS

Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts™ is a multi-dimensional thrill ride that has you navigating subterranean vaults as you avoid Voldemort’s cronies. Don’t miss the actual fire-breathing dragon (a Ukranian Ironbelly, if you’re curious) above you as enter. Hogwarts Express: King’s Cross Station™ is where you’ll walk straight through a solid brick wall onto Platform 9 ¾™ to wait before boarding the famous train itself. Get your camera out for when the train pulls in, smoke billowing everywhere – it sure is something.

On board the Hogwarts Express™, keep an eye out of the window as you chug through the British countryside. But don’t forget to check out the inside too – the detailing here is insane! But the best thing about this experience? If you’ve got a Park-to-Park ticket, then you can actually use the train to travel between Diagon Alley™ in Universal Studios Florida and Hogsmeade Village™ over at Universal Islands of Adventure – how nifty is that?!

ATTRACTIONS

MEN IN BLACK: ALIEN ATTACK

Don your best black suits and sunglasses because New York has been hit by alien attack and it’s up to you, Agent Trainee, and 5 of your mates, to wipe out the scum of the universe.

A multi-room motion-based experience, zap those suckers or they’ll zap you. With over 120 different aliens to encounter and multiple possible endings, you’ll never have the same ride twice.

TRANSFORMERS: THE RIDE 3D

Transformers: The Ride 3D throws you right into the heart of a mega battle between the Autobots and Decepticons - and you’re part of the action. You’re recruited as a NEST (Nonbiological Extraterrestrial Species Treaty) agent to help defend Earth. You’ll board your own Autobot, EVAC, and set off on an epic chase through the streets of a war-torn city.

With larger-than-life 3D visuals, motion simulation, and practical effects like heat blasts and wind, it feels like you’re right in the middle of the chaos.
