The Universal Studios Resort in Florida is the originator of destinations where you can ride the movies. The Velocicoaster is the tallest and fastest launch coaster in Florida.
Within the next five years, the company is set to open an additional park with a new brand called "Epic Universe", which will include more state-of-the-art attractions. A combination of indoor rides and coasters will be based on the Universal monsters. io9 was invited to both of Universal's operating parks to put its current slate of coasters and rides to the test for thrill-rideability while we wait for the opening of Epic. We wanted to see how cinematic the attractions were at the same time, but not the areas centered around a certain franchise.
How do pre-existing attractions stack up before the Unreal Universe takes more of its properties and creates more in-universe Universal thrills? We were able to experience a number of rides.
