called the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit which is one of the largest non inverted
loop with the track built in the shape of a treble cleft and spiraling with
negative gravity? Watch this informative and thrilling travel video now for free
insights and tips to save you time and money while visiting Universal Studios
Florida. There are several ways to get to Universal Studios Florida. If you're
staying at a universal resort you can take the superstar shuttle which is this
free scheduled shuttle for its hotel guests. Tip 1: it also offers free
transportation to SeaWorld, wet and wild, and Aquatica. You'll need a boarding pass
from the ticket desk which is available at each Universal hotel lobby. Get the
tickets at least 30 minutes prior to departure. Universal also offers water
taxi service between select hotels and the theme parks. Ask at your hotel for
more details. If you come from the Disneyland area take I-4
East and take exit 75 A and follow the signs to Universal Orlando's main
parking garage. To come from the downtown Orlando area, take I-4 west and exit
at 74 B and follow the signs to Universal. Pay for your parking at the
toll booth, park your car as directed in the parking structure. After securing
your car, walk to the escalators to the main level and walk to the main entrance
of city walk. Tip 2: take a picture of your parking lane and row number on
your phone or write it down so you're not looking for your car at the end of
the night. If you're taking the Linx bus to Universal Studios, take the Linx
bus route 27, 37, or 400 and exit at Turkey Lake Road and Wood Green Drive
stop and walk to Universal Studios. Tip 3: you can also take the I ride trolley but
it doesn't make a direct stop you studios. The closest stop is the Double
Tree Hotel on the corner of Kirkman Road and Major Boulevard which is stop G4. From
there you can walk about 10 minutes to Universal Studios. Once you arrive you'll
go through security and walk through city walk. Universal CityWalk is an
outdoor mall entertainment area. At City Walk, walk towards thee Sports Center
There you'll find the ticketing booth and entrance gates to Universal
Studios Florida. Universal Studios offers many ticket options check them out and
purchase online for package deals at multiple day savings. We suggest
purchasing the tickets through online travel companies like Expedia
so that you can earn points. We have provided a link to Expedia at hipfig.com

map from the entrance or on the official universal resort app and familiarize
yourself with the sections of the park. There are eight sections of the park: going
counterclockwise are Hollywood, production central, New York, San
Francisco, Wizarding World of Harry Potter Diagon Alley, world expo,
Springfield, and woody woodpecker's Kid Zone. Tip 4: planning your trip consider
visiting in 2018 when the fast and furious ride will be available. Tip 5:
most visitors go to the production area zone first since most of the thrill
rides are located there, we suggest making a circular route to the right of
Hollywood toward Springfield. It will be less crowded and makes the time more
enjoyable. Tip 6: planning goes a long way, remember to do everything you want
to do in an area before moving on. It avoids the back-and-forth which will
save you time and walking. Tip 7: there's free Wi-Fi at Universal Studios so you
don't need data to use their app while in the park. Ttip 8: use your app to
secure your virtual line pass for Race through New York starting Jimmy Fallon
select your right time once you're in the Universal Orlando Resort. Tip 9:
Universal Studios offer a single rider lines at Escape from Gringotts,
Rip Ride Rockit, Men in Black, revenge of the mummy, and
Transformers. If you don't mind sitting next to a
stranger then this time-saving tip is for you. Tip 10: for your information all
outside attractions are closed during thunderstorms or impeding storms which
are usually in the afternoon so check the weather and plan ahead so you don't
miss riding on an outside attraction like Rip Ride Rockit Tip 11: be prepared
it often rains in Orlando especially June through September so pack a
reusable rain poncho. Tip 12: bring a reusable water bottle there are soda
stations all over the park for you to refill with your bottle with ice and
water for free which can save you at least $15 per person. Tip 13: when you're
in Diagon Alley make sure to go to Ollivanders show before buying a wand. After
the show they'll lead you into the wand shop where you could buy one. There are
so many wand to choose from it might take a while. If you're choosing
between an interactive or just plain wand, save yourself five dollars.
The interactive part does not work that well but that's up to you. The wands come
in a nice box with a map. Please note the Diagon Alley is always busy. Tip 14: do you
need a nice place to sit and enjoy a snack? In New York near revenge of the
mummy, there are benches outside Finnegan's bar and grill. There are not many people in
this area for some reason and there's also an auntie Anne's pretzel shop
across the street which makes for a nice treat at the end of the day. Don't miss
the hundred years of movie memories nighttime show at the end of the evening
If you're not too tired after a day in the theme park, consider looking around
City Walk comes alive during the night. Universal Studios is a top-notch
attraction that should not be missed when visiting Orlando. Happy Travels. Go
