Even with fast-paced grown-up rides based on blockbusters such as the Simpsons, Twister, Terminator, the Mummy, and Men in Black, Universal Studios Florida is a ton of fun for kids. And, as an added plus, it's a working motion picture and TV production studio, so occasionally there's even some live filming taking place. Even when there isn't a film or show in production, you can see reel history displayed in the form of some 40 actual sets exhibited along Hollywood Boulevard and Rodeo Drive. And there are plenty of action shows and rides including Jimmy Neutron's Nicktoon Blast, Shrek 4-D, Revenge of the Mummy, Fear Factor Live, and Blue Man Group (a separately ticketed show, and the park's most recent addition). Rides and attractions combine technology and special effects to produce excellent entertainment. While waiting in line, you'll be entertained by excellent preshows - far better than those at the Disney parks (some are as entertaining as the attractions themselves). Universal, as a whole, takes itself less seriously than the Mouse, and the atmosphere is peppered by subtle reminders that in the competitive theme-park industry, it's really not such a small world after all. The somewhat corny Universal Horror Make-Up Show gives behind-the-scene looks at what goes into (and oozes out of) some of Hollywood's most frightening monsters (PG-13, shows from 11am). Lucy, A Tribute is a remembrance of America's queen of comedy, and the Blues Brothers launch their foot-stomping revue several times a day on Delancey Street. Back at Woody Woodpecker's KidZone, Fievel's Playland is a wet, western-themed playground with a house to climb and a water slide for small fry. Curious George Goes to Town is filled with whimsical watery fun, from fountains to ball-shooting cannons - bring a change of clothes. Universal has announced the addition of a new anchor attraction at Universal Studios (a welcome departure from the recent onslaught of refits and replacement rides). Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit will sport speeds of 65mph, through wild corkscrew turns, several near misses, and an incredible record-breaking loop (that could turn the stomach of even hard-core coaster crazies). Suspended high above the walkways of Universal Studios and CityWalk, this all new megacoaster (slated to debut in early 2009) will take riders on an interactive musical multisensory experience like no other - the bonus, thanks to a sophisticated on- and off-board video system, is that riders will get to piece together their own take-home music video from footage taken during the ride.
