is just plain fun. Scream-it-
from-the-rooftops, no-holds-barred, laugh-out-loud kind of fun. Superheroes zoom by on
motorcycles, roller coasters whiz overhead, and plenty of rides will get you soaked. The

attractions. Harry Potter attractions are split between
Wizarding World of Harry Potter -
Hogsmeade
, at Islands of Adventure, and

RIDE
quired; 9am-6pm, hours vary; ; Lynx 21, 37 or 40)
Bright, loud and fast moving, Marvel Super Hero Island is sensory overload and a thrill-
lover's paradise. Don't miss the motion simulator
Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man
(Express Pass recommended), where super villains rendered in incredible 3-D are on the
loose, jumping on your car and chasing you around the streets of New York City, and the
wild and crazy
Incredible Hulk Coaster
(Express Pass).
At
Dr Doom's Fearfall
(Express Pass), you rocket 150ft up in the air and free-fall
down. Comic-book characters patrol this area, so keep an eye out for your favorites and
check your map for scheduled Meet and Greet times with Spider-Man himself.
Toon Lagoon
RIDE
quired; 9am-6pm, hours vary; ; Lynx 21, 37 or 40)
Island of Adventure's sparkly, lighthearted cartoon-themed Toon Lagoon transports visit-
ors to the days when lazy weekends included nothing more than mornings watching
Popeye and afternoons playing in the sprinkler. This is where you'll find most of Univer-
sal's water attractions, including
Popeye and Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges
(Express Pass), a
favorite that's short on thrills but high on silly soaking fun; and
Dudley Do-Right's
Ripsaw Falls
(Express Pass), a classic with a short but steep fall.
