Universal's Islands of Adventure (occasionally abbreviated
IOA) is a theme park located in Orlando, Florida. It opened in May 1999 as part
of an expansion that, along with CityWalk and the Portofino Bay and Hard Rock
hotels, converted Universal Studios Florida into the Universal Orlando Resort.
The park's overall theme is that of a journey of exploration, where guests
depart from a main port on an "inland sea" to visit five "islands," each having
its own distinct theme, but all emphasizing fun and adventure.
Islands of Adventure consists of five "islands" plus the
Port of Entry, arranged around a "lagoon." The islands are presented in
clockwise order, starting at the park entrance (as if you were standing with
your back to the main entrance). Various live characters interact with guests
throughout the day, including: Spider-Man, Captain America, Storm, Wolverine,
Dr. Seuss' Cat in the Hat, Merlin the Magician, Sindbad, Princess Amoura,
Popeye, Bluto, Olive Oyl and plenty more.
Islands of Adventure Overview
Islands of Adventure mixes
the 'edge' that made Universal famous with the 'theming' that made Disney
famous. In fact, some of Disney's imagineers were hired by Universal to help
develop this park - not to mention that Steven Speilberg himself also served as
creative consultant. Islands of Adventure is divided into 5 distinct
areas, each offering some of the best attractions in Orlando.
The Port of Entry is the park's main entrance and is home to many shops
and services, including Guest Relations. The theme is that of an Arabian
bazaar. Its main features are the Confisco Grille restaurant (one of two
full-service restaurants in the Park) and the Islands of Adventure
Trading Company, the park's primary gift shop. An attraction information
board is located near the shore of the lagoon.
