If you are looking for an action-packed vacation, then travel to Universal Studios in Florida for the thrill of your life. Here you will not find those loveable Disney characters from childhood story books but rather the excitement and action of the movies in the form of rides and attractions. The place is huge with two theme parks, three hotels and a CityWalk complex. Because there is so much to be said about this place, only Universal Studios production will be covered in this article. The other theme park and CityWalk will be discussed in another article that I will write soon. With that said, here are some of the attractions you will find on your next Florida Travel to Universal Studios. (photo credit, ramada.com)

The minute you step through the gates at Universal Studios you will find yourself in the middle of a real working television and film production studio. You are the star at this movie and TV based theme park with its unique combination of thrilling rides, electrifying entertainment and the inside story of how your favorite movies are made. It is a real film and television studio where you will go behind the scenes and actually beyond the screen and into the action of all your favorite movies. You will feel the thrills of been in a real picture as you ride the movies. (photo credit, Orlando Villas)

Universal Studios is like no other place in the world for excitement all the time. For example, every few minutes you can experience the forces of nature at its worst moments as special effects recreate the explosive force of a tornado using full force air and a piercing sound system that is quite loud. Whether you are a fan of action filled movies, comedy shows or heart warming children’s tales, nobody puts you in pictures the way Universal Studios does and all major attractions are loud and full of action. All attractions are separated in sections and here are some that might interest you.

• Production Central – this is the place where you will find yourself inside a real working television and film production studio and you can live the excitement of how movies are made. In this area you can enjoy movies such as Shrek 4-D and Jimmy Neutron’s Nicktoon Blast.
• New York – from a 1920’s alleyway to urban parks, even Manhattan residences, the studio’s New York street set recreates the background of big city productions. In this area you will find movies such as Revenge of the Mummy-the ride, Twister-Ride it Out, and The Blues Brothers with Jake and Elwood, the bad boys of blues.
• World Expo – come in contact with the magic of Hollywood as the movie making capital of the world is recreated here. You will find star covered sidewalks and landmark buildings and attractions such as Terminator 2 (3-D), The Simpsons Ride, Men in Black-Alien Attack and even see a Universal Horror make up show.
