Universal’s Islands of Adventure

Always wanted a face to face meeting with Spider-Man, a Jurrasic Park dinosaur or Harry Potter? Get your credit card out: Universal’s Islands of Adventure is the place to go. First stop would be Hogwarts Castle. Even standing in line fort the 3D-ride is an experience there, with the talking pictures and detailed recreation of the famous wizarding school. And then there’s the ride itself, soaring over the Quidditch pitch and high above the castle. It’s a must do for every Potter-fan. Outside Hogwarts you can also visit some shops in Hogsmeade village or take a Potter-themed rollercoaster ride. The other, just as cool, half of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is in sisterpark Universal Studios Florida (reachable by Hogwarts Express). And then there’s the rest of the park, like a slightly outdated but still very nice Jurrasic Park and of course: Marvel Superhero Island. You can have your picture taken with a Marvel hero, get on the Hulk rollercoaster or go on adventure with Spider-Man in a spectacular 3D ride.
