Even with fast-paced grown-up rides based on blockbusters such as Twister, Terminator, and Men in Black, Universal Studios Florida is a ton of fun for kids. And, as an added plus, it's a working motion picture and TV production studio, so occasionally there's some live filming done at Nickelodeon's sound stages or elsewhere in the park. Even if there isn't a film or show in production, you can see reel history displayed in the form of some 40 actual sets exhibited along Hollywood Boulevard and Rodeo Drive. And there are plenty of action shows and rides including Twister . . . Ride It Out, Earthquake -- The Big One, Jaws, Terminator, and the just-opened Revenge of the Mummy.
After a period of quiet on the expansion front, 2003 saw Universal add two new attractions -- Jimmy Neutron's Nicktoon Blast, and Shrek 4-D -- and 2004 saw the debut of Revenge of the Mummy, a ride based on the hit film, The Mummy.
Universal Characters & Shows, Too--Universal Studios Florida has a host of street characters and shows to entertain the crowds that flock here. The lineup includes: Extreme Ghostbusters: The Great Fright Way, a revised show that has Beetlejuice and The Ghostbusters singing and dancing to hits from the '60s through the '90s; Lucy and Ricky, in which Lucy pulls guests into an impromptu conga line; Sarita and Rico, two Latin characters who get guests singing and dancing to high-energy tunes such as "Hot, Hot, Hot" and "Mambo #5"; and the Men in Black show, in which the agents know there are a lot of aliens in the park, and they must put unsuspecting guests through a humorous screening test. Note: Characters rotate or appear seasonally.
