Universal Islands of Adventure

attractions★ 4.7 (108,563)$$$ · Expensive

Opened in 1999, Islands of Adventure is eight themed lands, but the gravity is the Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Hogsmeade (2010) and a coaster lineup — the Jurassic World VelociCoaster, Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, and the Incredible Hulk Coaster — that ranks among the best anywhere. It pulled 9.4 million visits in 2024. If you can only do one Universal park, most thrill-seekers pick this one.

Best time to go

At opening — head to Hagrid's or VelociCoaster first; both routinely hit multi-hour waits by midday.

Local tip

For the Hogwarts Express train to the other park you need a park-to-park ticket, not a single-park one — buy accordingly.
