Let the games begin........... frommers.com:80/newsletters/01-13-99/article1.html Showdown in Orlando: Universal Studios Debuts Huge New Park, Great New Prices This Summer If you and the family like vacationing in Orlando but have done all the theme parks or are having second thoughts about the Disney parks' rather stiff gate fees, you'll want to hear about one of the biggest entertainment developments to hit the area since the film-and-TV-oriented Universal Studios Florida opened for business in 1990. Early this summer, Universal's finally unveiling its 110-acre Islands of Adventure: five isles sprawling across a huge manmade lake and crammed with state-of-the-art rides, shows, and other attractions (not a few of which actually have some educational value). Seuss Landing is based on the Cat in the Hat and the other whimsical characters of Dr.. Seuss; the Marvel Superheroes Island showcases Spiderman, the Hulk, and the rest of the famous comic-book pantheon; the Lost Continent focuses on the legendary tales of Sinbad, Atlantis, and Merlin the Magician; Toon Lagoon is a stroll through the funny pages past and present; and Jurassic Park drops visitors into a Steven Spielberg-produced update of his hit dinosaur flicks. Besides being a needed shot in the arm to the Orlando entertainment scene, Islands of Adventure will also be a boon to the budgets of vacationing families, since Universal is at the same time introducing a new "Orlando FlexTicket." Good for seven days, $159.95 per person (or $127.95 for ages 3 to 9) buys unlimited admission to Islands of Adventure, the original Universal Studios movie park, the delightful Sea World, and the water park Wet 'n Wild. For an additional $37 and $30, respectively, you can get a 10-day version that also includes Busch Gardens in Tampa. That stacks up well indeed against Disney's nearest equivalent pass, the "Park Hopper," which covers its big four (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, MGM Studios, and Animal Kingdom) for $189--under 10, $151--and only gives you five days (although at least with Disney unused days never expire; with Universal it's use 'em or lose 'em). Universal also tosses in an extra bonus of sorts in the form of its recently inaugurated CityWalk, which offers access at no extra charge to 30 entertaining acres of shops, restaurants, theaters, and bars dedicated mostly to pop music and its stars. Even the soon-to-open Portofino Bay Hotel provides a free theme-park-like spin--to guests and non-guests alike--through a recreated Mediterranean village. For more details, click on www.universalstudios.com or call Universal Studios from late February (their reservations system isn't ready with the details yet). The Universal Studios Florida guest services are at 407/354-6356. A vacation package booking number, 888/837-2273, can also provide information later on.
