      John Knappett reviewed Universal Volcano Bay 09 Sep, 2026

    • Best water park in Orlando some great drop slides family water rides and large wave pool Use the advantage universal hotel guests get to have early entry 30 mins before ordinary guests to grab a good slot either by the main wave pool or around the park with an umbrella (it gets really hot) we tended to go early do rides without much queues and then leave about 11.30 Have a look at some of the food stands as quite a lot of items here not available in the parks

      David Presbury reviewed Universal Volcano Bay 09 Sep, 2026

    • Great park with 2 top rides Hagrids and Velocicoaster but suffers a bit when it rains as doesn't have many indoor rides

      David Presbury reviewed Universal Islands of Adventure 09 Sep, 2026
