Not that it was in any danger of becoming irrelevant, but the addition of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter more or less cemented Islands of Adventures' place amid the list of must-visits for Orlando-bound theme park enthusiasts, adding Harry Potter enthusiasts to their vast marketing segment with aplomb. Of course, each of the park's "islands" - Toon Lagoon, Jurassic Park, Marvel Super Hero Island, Seuss Landing and The Lost Continent - has unique appeal in the form of cutting-edge rides and interactive attractions. Between the Incredible Hulk coaster, the truly astonishing Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey and The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man, debating which ride rules supreme is best slated for some after-park drinks at nearby Universal CityWalk after thoughtful research in the field.

EXPERT TIPS BY:

Orlando Local Expert
- Best Attractions & Activities: "Visiting from out of town? Consider staying at an on-site property for early park admission to combat line fatigue."
- Best Theme Parks: "Though tops all around, if your time and/or money budget allows for only one Universal park to delight the preschool set, you might opt for Universal Studios instead."
- Recommended as Best Attractions & Activities Because: From the Wizarding World to the new-and-exciting Skull Island: Reign of Kong thrill ride, Islands of Adventure is an absolute top theme-park attraction.
- Recommended as Best Theme Parks Because: The heady amalgam of a park where you can combine Hogwarts and butterbeer with Dr. Seuss and Spiderman make Islands of Adventure tough to beat.
