The Five Best Rides at Universal Studio's Islands of Adventure in Orlando

Matthew Steed
Islands of Adventure in Orlando is part of the Universal Resort that includes Universal Studios, Island of Adventures, CityWalk, in addition to various hotels.

The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man

This ride follows Spider-Man's quest to rid the city of evil. This ride is unique in that riders wear 3-D glasses and feel like they're in the middle of the action such as when Spider-Man swings down and lands on your ride vehicle with a loud thump (and causes it to shake).

Incredible Hulk Coaster

The Incredible Hulk rollercoaster is one of the best rollercoasters in Orlando. This green machine takes riders are a twisting, turning high speed adventure. The ride starts are riders "blast off" and are propelled into the turns and loops of the Incredible Hulk coaster.

Jurassic Park River Adventure

Riders board boats for a scenic river tour through Jurassic Park. What starts out as a slow paced tour passing various gentle dinosaurs that inhabit Jurassic Park, quickly turns into something much more dangerous. A T-Rex has escaped its cage and is out there.... somewhere. The ride comes to a wet end as the boat plunges 85 down into a lagoon.

Dueling Dragons

Dueling Dragons is an inverted rollercoaster with two difference tracks. Each track's cars leave the station at the same time and, at various points in the ride, will come within feet of each other as the swing through the twisted metal that is Dueling Dragons.

Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls

While this ride is a log flume, the theme (based on the 1960's cartoon), and the incredible drop at the end (which goes 15 feet under the water level - but don't worry, you won't down) make it one of the best anywhere.
