Universal Studios, Universal Studios Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios City Walk combine to make Universal Studios Orlando, the third most popular theme park in the USA (after Walt Disney World and Disneyland in California).
Universal Studios Orlando encompasses two connected theme parks, Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, which together rival Disney in creativity, design, and gratification. But Universal can’t compete with Disney in terms of lore and name brand loyalty, so there’s a definite B-list quality to the characters roaming the streets. Still, what Universal lacks in charm – no Peter Pan’s Flight over old London here – it makes up for with a certain nonstop, warp-speed intensity.
