Dateline Universal Orlando is headed to Islands of Adventure and the Jurassic era to check out the newest ride construction in Universal’s imaginative Islands of Adventure park. Plus, operations updates, entertainment, and mother nature’s fury unleashed! We’ve got a lot of ground to cover, so let’s get started. . .
Spend some time examining the lush and rich detail of Port of Entry. There are hidden details and nods to there other attractions throughout the land.
Marvel Super Hero Island
The details in Marvel Super Hero Island are plentiful. Just make sure to stop and take in all of the references.
Toon Lagoon
Sweet Haven is under a complete refurbishment. Anyone know if this is just standard maintenance or is something else happening?
Skull Island: Reign of Kong is still drawing long lines. When’s the last time you visited with King Kong?
Jurassic Park
Ah, there it is. When you turn the corner past Camp Jurassic, you are welcomed by familiar construction walls.
The rumored name for this attraction is the Velocicoaster, and it doesn’t seem like this will be a family coaster.
Are you looking forward to the new Jurassic project?
New T-Rex Encounter!
They had some performers out for a ‘T-Rex Encounter’…
…which was pretty hilarious.
I think it’s very inventive to include Ghostbusters in Horror Nights. If you want to see some of the Halloween scares, check them out here!
Hogsmeade
At the back of the Hog’s Head Taverne and Three Broomsticks, you can get another glimpse of the construction work.
That said, almost every table outside has a nice wall blocking that view.
Hagrid and the Bees!
Hagrid’s has had its fair share of trouble lately, and surprisingly, it isn’t the ride system giving those issues this time around.
There have been some major bee issues along the ride track. . . swarms of them!
Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure remains operational as Universal combats the pest control issue the best they can. Now, if they could only fix the single rider problem. . . before being able to join the single rider queue, you have to wait in the regular line. At some point, just before you get to the indoor portion of the queue, an employee may direct you to the single rider line. But that can be an hour or more of waiting in standby before ever getting the chance to then switch to the single rider.
Seuss Landing
There are some tall walls up at the entrance to Seuss Landing.
