Touring Plans - Independent Guide to Universal Orlando 2015 - page 142

5. Ride The Simpsons Ride .
6. Ride Men in Black: Alien Attack . A single rider line is available. Lockers
are required for loose items.
7. Have lunch. We highly recommend you have a quick service/quick service
meal at lunch if you want to maximize your touring time.
8. Watch Universal's Superstar Parade . The parade at Universal Studios
Florida is nowhere near as popular as the parades at Walt Disney World so
you should be able to get a front row spot arriving even 10 minutes before
the parade starts, especially as the parade route is so long. Often you will
even get a front row spot at the parade without stalking out the spot in ad-
vance.
9. Ride E.T. Adventure . Waits are generally not above 30 minutes.
10. Watch Universal's Horror Make Up Show . This is our favorite live show
at Universal Orlando. The theatre is fairly small so arrive about 20 minutes
before the performance is due to start, to be guaranteed a seat.
11. Watch Terminator 2: 3D...A Battle Across Time . This is our other favorite
live show at Universal Orlando, and is very different to the Horror Make
Up Show .
12. Head to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: Diagon Alley. You will want
to enter this area at least 3 hours before park closing for the full experi-
ence. Crowds will be lowest at the end of the day. Ride Harry Potter and
the Escape from Gringotts, followed by a return journey on the Hogwarts
Express (note a Park-to-Park ticket is required for access to the Hogwarts
Express).
13. Watch the Universal Cinematic Spectacular . Views are available from
all around the lagoon. We would not be too worried about missing the
Cinematic Spectacular to get entry into Diagon Alley and experience its at-
tractions. We expect crowds will be very high in this area throughout late
2014 and all of 2015.
Important Note : This touring plan does not include all attractions in the park due to
time constraints, and because some attractions target younger children such as Barney and
Woody Woodpecker which may not be suitable for your party . If you have no interest in
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter it is feasible to do almost all the other attractions in
this park in a day with careful planning.
Best of both parks 1-day touring plan.
