Universal Orlando Resort

城市概覽

The Universal Orlando Resort opened in 1990 and is one of the biggest and most visited theme park complexes in the world and the second in Orlando after Walt Disney World. It is composed of two theme parks (and soon three) an entertainement district and 10 hotels:

Universal Studios Florida is the resort's original theme park, opening in 1990 with a focus on movies and TV and has 8 themed areas with an array of rides, shows, and other attractions. Visitors can also enjoy themed dining and shopping, a variety of special events throughout the year. The themes of Universal Studio's are targeted at making guests feel like they are in a movie set with rides, shows, and attractions that are inspired by popular film, television, and music productions. Islands of Adventure is a theme park composed of seven distinct "islands" that are themed to various forms of adventures. Visitors start off in the Port of Entry and make their way through the various islands – Marvel Super Hero Island, Toon Lagoon, Jurassic Park, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, The Lost Continent, and Seuss Landing. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, based on the Harry Potter franchise, is the only island added after the park opened, in 2010. Epic Universe is Universal Orlando's third theme park. It is to the southeast of the other parks some distance away, about a twenty minute drive, and it has 4 universes inspired by Nintendo, How to Train Your Dragon, Harry Potter, and Universal's monsters. Universal CityWalk Orlando acts as the gateway to the parks, featuring shopping, nightclubs, dining venues, and a movie theater. There are several nightclubs in city walk as well as live shows and stores with universal-themed merchandise. Volcano Bay is a water-park that replaced "Wet 'n Wild". The park is centered on a 200-foot-tall (61-m) volcano named "Krakatau" (see Krakatoa for information on the real Krakatau). Volcano Bay's attractions are located in four themed areas, each inspired by various Polynesian

如何抵達

By plane Most visitors fly into Orlando International Airport (MCO IATA), +1 407-825-2001. It's served by every major US airline and a wide variety of international carriers. Once there, you can rent a car, take a taxi, or order a limo or town car. If you're staying at an on-site Universal hotel, another option is Universal's Superstar Shuttle, a bus service from the airport to all ten resort hotels. Prior reservations are required. If driving yourself, Florida State Road 528 links the airport with Interstate 4, and heading northbound on that highway leads directly to Universal. Orlando-Sanford International Airport (SFB IATA) is a bit farther from Universal than Orlando International. Aside from domestic flights on Allegiant Air, the airport primarily handles flights from the United Kingdom and Iceland, and Universal's Superstar Shuttle is not available here. Florida State Road 417 connects the airport to Interstate 4.

By car Interstate 4 is the most direct driving route to Universal Orlando, passing just south of the resort. Depending on your point of origin, Florida's Turnpike can be quite useful, particularly if you're driving north from the Miami area. If you're coming from a cruise at Port Canaveral, Florida State Road 528 gets you to I-4, with Orlando International Airport and the Turnpike en route.

By train Amtrak's Silver Service Miami–New York City routes serve Orlando four times daily, with two trains in either direction. Northbound trains from Miami arrive at the Orlando station at 1:43PM and 7:08PM; southbound trains from NYC arrive at 10:17AM and 12:55PM. The Auto Train, which can carry both passengers and automobiles, serves nearby Sanford non-stop from Lorton, Virginia (near Washington, D.C.). Brightline operates a train service between Miami and the Orlando International Airport, with stops in Fort Lauderdale, Boca Ranton, Aventura and West Palm Beach. The journey from downtown Miami takes about 3,5 hours and the trains run every hour betwee

Epic Universe and its adjacent hotels (Stella Nova, Terra Luna and Helios Grand Hotel) are located about 7 miles to the south and also within walking distance of each other. The Universal Shuttle Bus picks up guests from all hotels and drops them off at the entrance of CityWalk and Volcano Bay. There are also water taxis that run between the Portofino Bay, Royal Pacific, Hard Rock and Sapphire Falls hotels to the entrances of Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure. Both the shuttle bus and the water taxis are free. Epic Universe will also be connected by shuttle bus to the resorts and the other parks when it opens.
