We been to Orlando Universal studios and IOA many many times and our daughter had been here before and said it wasn’t as big with as much here as Orlando, however we thought the City walk was better, and the Universal Studios tour was brilliant, we arrived quite early and entered the park 15 minutes before official opening park time, don’t get caught out upgrading to VIP which is hard sell at the gate, or the Express pass, check out online the expected park capacity plan for
A quiet day, midweek is best earlier the better, there’s hardly any queues and if you can’t and you enter the park and it is busy then you can buy the express after, but it’s a big gamble if if you’ve paid enter and it’s quiet!!
Anyway the park is split over two levels, it doesn’t have an Islands of adventure, no ET and a smaller Harry Potter land , it’s good and a few differences to Orlando but the studios tour is a must do, a real experience worth doing in its self.
