5 Best Universal Orlando Attractions

[NemoRocks78]

Well, this type of topic seems to be a hot one in WDW General Discussion, so I decided to bring it over here. Expect a "Worst Attraction" topic tomorrow, unless someone wants to create that later.

So....what are your top five favorites, out of both parks?

1. Revenge of the Mummy (by far the best attraction in Universal history, as well as the best thing to come to Central Florida since Splash Mountain opened in '92)

2. The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man (groundbreaking technology and everyone's favorite superhero...what more could you want?)

3. Back To The Future....The Ride (based on some the best films of all time and a fun simulator attraction)

4. The Incredible Hulk Coaster (one of the best coasters I've ever been on)

5. E.T. Adventure (classic dark ride, nicely-themed indoor queue, and a great smell....oh how I love that smell..... )

I've yet to experience ROTM. One week from now I will though

1. Spider Man - If this were at a Disney park it would be as big as TOT and Splash Mtn.

2. Incredible Hulk - I have to ride this at least 10 times on my UO day or I won't leave :lol:

3. Terminator 2: 3-D - By far the best thing at USF (As of right now)

4. Dudley Do Right's Ripsaw Falls - Very underrated attraction. No Splash Mtn. but very good on it's own terms.

5. Shrek 4-D - Great show and I hope I won't have to wait 90 minutes this time!

First, I'm sure ROTM will crack this top 5 when I'll ride it:

1. Spiderman (I don't understand how Disney since 1999 hasn't find an way to top this one, I mean they opened great and innovative rides, but not one that combines the moves, sights, sounds, sfx, originality and neverending enjoyment and rush this one gives you)

2. Dueling Dragons: the best inverted coaster I've ever been on, from the themeing to the trains to the tracks themselves

3. MIB: great interactive dark ride, again easily tops Buzz at Disney.

4. Dudley Doo Right

5. Jaws

1) ROTM. While not as good as TOT or Splash, it's still the best at these parks.

2)Dudley Do Right. I could ride it all day. My only complaint is that it looks like an incomplete project. I hope during a rehab, they add a little more to make it a full ride.

3)Spiderman. Awesome ride.

4)Doctor Doom's Fearfall. One of the best storylines of any ride ever...I'm just kidding on this one ... the real #4:

4)Dueling Dragons. I like it much better than the Hulk.

5)between ET (I love that smell too) and MIB.

1. Spiderman! You know why!

2. The Cat in the Hat - Enjoyable for everyone. Colorful for kids, fast movement for the teens yet tame enough for adults. Disney could use more rides like this one!

3. The Incredible Hulk - Even in the video of the launch it gets me pumped!

4. Jurassic Park - Theming, thrills, AAs and more! What more could you want?

5. Dudley & Duelng Dragons - Each one fun and thrilling in its own way!

The only thing I don't like about CITH is the roof. If only they could do more to cover up the ceiling, it would be a lot more immersive.

Also, back during IOA previews, CITH was great, and much more wild than it is today...they really tamed it.

 

[mandib]

1) Spiderman (thats such a cool ride)
2) MIB (my record is 6 times in a row, I think I need to break that)
3) The Hulk (I love the take off)
4) Dueling Dragons (I just like coasters I guess, I favor Ice over fire)
5)Terminator 2 3D (only the best show/attraction in all of UO)

I'm sure ROTM will be on this list when I ride it in 4 days!

 

[Mia's Daddy]

1) Spiderman
2) Men in Black
3) Jurassic Park River Adventure
4) Dueling Dragons
5) Twister

Granted I have not been on Mummy, and I also love the Blues Brothers show.

I thought it was just me, but when IOA first opened, I remember it spinning a lot more and a lot faster.

You can see the marks on the floor where the vehicle used to spin, but spins no longer.

 

[Epcot is my fav]

1. Spiderman
2. Hulk
3. MIB
4. Ripsaw Falls
5. Dueling Dragons

[matt88mph]

Okay, here goes nothing:

1. Back to the Future- I think the 88mph in my Screen Name says it all.

2. The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man- I'm thinking of turning the spotlights in my school auditorium into Anti-Gravity Cannons.

3. Men In Black: Alien Attack- It has good theming and technology, I have bad aim.

4. Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls- I'm a sucker for a Rocky and Bullwinkle character.

5. Posideon's Fury- Great storyline, but please, TURN THE SOUND DOWN!!!

Honorable Mentions to: Popeye and Bluto's Bilge Rat Barges, Jurassic Park River Adventure, & Earthquake: The Big One.

Which version.

I always thought this was a good example of trying to use a lot of great special effects, without the story being all that great.

I actually liked the original version better...especially the moment when the room came down on top of you.

 

[matt88mph]

The new one.

My first visit to ol' Posideon was in February. I went with my brother and father. We all liked it, and my dad did his Indiana Jones impression. Too bad they couldn't turn it into a ride with vehicles.

Yeah you're right but if we compare this ride to a Fantasyland one it is heaven!


Oh, and someone mentioned Poseidon's Fury! I love that attraction! Funny, but lots of IoA fans can't stand it. I think it's very immersive. The only thing they should improve is their acting.

This is tough...

01. Revenge Of The Mummy - This is such a great ride! I'm obsessed with it.
02. The Amazing Adventures Of Spider-Man - This was ALMOST number one. I've been on it hundreds of times and it never gets old.
03. The Incredible Hulk Coaster - The best coaster I've ever been on. The beginning is classic.
04. Dueling Dragons - This is another great coaster. And the line itself is amazing!
05. Men In Black - Alien Attack - My favorite ride at the Studios before Revenge Of The Mummy. Very fun ride that you can do over and over again.
