DAY 7: UNIVERSAL PART 1
We rose to greet the new year this morning by jumping in a cab and heading up the highway to Universal Studios. Unlike its Californian counterpart, this complex has a couple of parks, each with several separately themed sections within.
Today we hit the Islands of Adventure theme park. Florida obviously hit it hard last night for New Years because for the first couple of hours it felt like we had the park to ourselves - NO QUEUES!!!
By the time we got to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter section though around lunchtime, all the Potheads (i.e. adults dressed in full Potter garb) had flooded the park and 45-60min queues were the order for the rest of the day. By 6pm though we had pretty much got through everything there was to see.
Highlights of the day were the Spider-Man, Jurassic Park and, yes I'm ashamed to admit it, the Harry Potter rides. Even the ones we jumped on early that left us soaked to the bone raised a smile.
Tomorrow we return to the scene of the crime to visit the other park - Universal Studios Florida.
