Universal Studios Escape. Universal Studios Escape in Orlando Florida is making a strong effort to compete with Disney World, and they are off to a good start. With the recent opening of Universal’s new theme park called Islands of Adventure, Universal Studios Escape now has two full-sized theme parks and a City Walk area, to compete with Disney’s four theme parks, and Downtown Disney area. Universal also opened its luxurious Portofino Bay Hotel, the first of several new on-property hotels scheduled to open in the next few years. Universal’s continued expansions are ensuring its status as a must-see attraction in the Orlando area.
The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman ride is possibly the most modern high-tech ride in world.
