Theme park and attraction news, rumors and videos.
Starting Aug. 10, Universal Orlando Annual Passholders will begin receiving new exclusive perks for this year’s Passholder Appreciation Days. From specialty food options to dedicated park entrance turnstiles, Universal Orlando is preparing to rev-up more fun for APs.
The construction on the rumored “Velocicoaster” roller coaster is moving along fast. Just a few weeks ago, we were checking out other milestones, and now the highest point of the coaster is complete. Universal Orlando has marked this momentous occasion with a Jurassic logo flag.
Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen claims of the dangers of wearing masks and the dangers of not wearing masks. One of the main claims against face coverings, other than discomfort, is the lack of oxygen guests may receive while being at a theme park all day. I took a pulse oximeter to the Universal Orlando Resort to see true results of what our blood oxygen saturation percentage was throughout the day.

For a theme park that’s been around for over twenty years, Islands of Adventure at Universal Orlando Resort still has some spectacular attractions that have been a part of the park since opening.
Now that Universal Orlando has reopened its theme parks to guests, you’ve no doubt got a craving for some iconic Universal food—here’s where you can get it:
It’s only been two weeks since our last “Velocicoaster” construction update at Universal’s Islands of Adventure. Despite that, there is already more to explore. Since Universal Orlando Resort reopened, numerous new track pieces have been added. We went and got a look at the new inversions that have been added to the coaster.
Yesterday was the first time the Universal Orlando Resort theme parks re-opened to the public. I went with a friend, to enjoy the parks from 8 a.m. until 7:30 p.m. Universal Orlando, along with many other locations in Florida, require guests to wear face coverings in the parks. While many of us have worn a mask in a grocery store for about 30 minutes, this endeavor was entirely different. And, somewhat more difficult than I originally anticipated. Here’s what we experienced wearing masks for almost 12 hours with the temperatures in the 90s most of the day.
Today, the Universal Orlando Resort theme parks fully opened to all. Universal is the first of Orlando’s big three to embark on these socially-distant and lower capacity openings. We went from park open to park close to truly feel what its like to have fun in the new theme park normal. Spoiler, it was one of the best days we have ever had at the Universal parks.
With Universal Orlando now reopened to all guests, Annual Passholders are receiving new perks and offerings to celebrate their return.
