Where Are the Universal Theme Parks Located?
If you love movies, you like to go on exciting rides, or both – then the Universal Studios theme parks are for you. Unfortunately, unlike Six Flags theme parks, and even Disney theme parks, there are only three locations for Universal Studios. They are well worth the trip to go see, however, as they present you with a theme park experience like none other. So, if you are as excited about seeing the world of films in a whole new light, then the Universal theme parks may be just up your alley.
The two most well known Universal theme parks are located right in the United States. There is one in Hollywood, California and another in Orlando, Florida. Both are exceptionally fun parks to visit although the Florida version has many more rides than the California park. On the other hand though, the Hollywood Universal Studios features a massive back lot where real movies are actually made on a daily basis, so in addition to visiting the theme park you can even go see a movie being filmed if you know the right people. However, if rides and roller coasters are more your thing, then the Universal park in Orlando is the one you want to go to, as there are thrill rides galore there.
The third, and lesser known park, is located in Japan. They have all of the same features as the park in Hollywood, but in a uniquely different location. Also, various filming locations such as Hollywood, New York, and San Francisco have all been reproduced in the theme park, making Universal Studios Japan almost as exciting as visiting several cities at once.
No matter which of the three Universal theme parks you visit, you will be guaranteed to have an amazing time. Furthermore, if you love to be scared out of your mind, be sure to visit a Universal park during the Halloween season, as they have historically done an amazing job on transforming the park into an entirely frightful experience.
