Islands of Adventure Ride Reviews
Caro-Seuss-el
I like this carousel! It's fun for kids and simple - I recommend trying it once. The Seuss Land in general is adorable, so it's worth trying out the rides if you can.
★★★☆☆
Doctor Doom's Fearfall
No one ever wants to go on this ride with me! I get it, drop towers aren't everyone's cup of tea, so if you like them - don't miss this one. The queue is really cool, and if you ride solo you can get on right away.
★★★★☆
Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls
So fun! I love this ride - be warned, you will get drenched and the water is nonstop. You can usually avoid lines on a warm day, but if it's a hot day, I recommend trying to knock this one out first before the line builds up.
★★★★☆
Flight of the Hippogriff
Love this one! It's so well done and has height! You can get some amazing views of the castle and it's kid friendly.
★★★★☆
Hagrid's Motorbike Adventure
This is a must-do - it's worth the hype!
One of the best rides in all of Universal, currently. So well done and the pacing of the ride is great. The queue is incredible and will keep you occupied if there is a wait.
★★★★★
HP & the Forbidden Journey
The queue for this ride is unbelievable and the ride itself is an experience! This is a non-skip ride for me every time I go to Universal.
★★★★★
(If you have motion sickness, this may affect you due to flipping around and simulator screens.)
Hogwarts Express - Hogsmeade
Similar to the Hogwarts Express over at Universal Studios, this is more of an experience and less of a ride. I do prefer the King's Cross one over Hogsmeade, but I recommend checking this one out.
★★★☆☆
If I Ran The Zoo
Unfortunately, I've never been able to ride this cause I definitely max the height requirement (haha!). If your child has ridden this, let me know your thoughts! I would love to update this with a true review.
Jurassic Park River Adventure
I love this one! It's branded as a water ride and that you get soaked - I swear you don't (maybe a few drops). I've gone on this without a poncho and have been fine! It's super fun, check it out!
★★★★☆
Jurassic World VelociCoaster
BEST RIDE EVER!
Seriously, it's amazing. So smooth and just full of adrenaline. This is probably the most intense coaster I have ever been on. I went on years ago during the previews and I was blown away.
★★★★★
One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish
Here's another ride I haven't been on! It looks cute and I'm going to assume it's fun for kids. If you are in my Facebook group, let me know your thoughts on this one!
Popeye & Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges
Here's another ride where you'll end up soaked! Great on a hot day, but if you're showing up in Orlando in December - you might be freezing! This is great to go on with a group; I always like to do a game in the beginning and vote on who will end up the most soaked at the end.
★★★★☆
Pteranodon Flyers
This is the one ride where my jealousy comes out - it looks SO FUN. However, you can only ride this as an adult if you accompany a child. If you've gone on this, let me know your thoughts!
(Apparently they let UOAP members ride this without the need for a child!?!?)
Skull Island: Reign of Kong
I like this ride a lot! You go inside and outside and it's essentially the better version of the Fast and Furious ride at Studios. This one is fun and the queue is super cool!
★★★★☆
Storm Force Accelatron
This is a ride that's kind of random - it's in the weirdest place and super easy to miss (near the Hulk). It's essentially a tea-cup ride; this is a one and done ride for me!
★★☆☆☆
The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man
One of my favorite simulators! I'm a huge Spider-Man fan; this ride is really cool and well-done. I definitely recommend checking this one out.
★★★★☆
The High in the Sky Seuss Trolley
This is a very cute ride. I recommend checking this one out at least once because you're on top of the park and can view little easter eggs Universal has planted!
★★★☆☆
The Incredible Hulk Coaster
Insane coaster! It can be very rough so just be careful - but overall it is very fun. I personally love to ride it at night cause it's pitch black with just hints of green. Great queue too!
★★★★☆
The Cat in The Hat
Fun ride! Kids will certainly like it and it's a nice ride to take a break in. Thing 1 and Thing 2 are super funny - after this ride you can go to the bakery or get Seuss inspired snacks.
