Incredible Hulk Coaster where you’re launched from a near standstill to 40 mph in 2 seconds, then immediately into a zero-G dive roll looping through inversion after inversion and twice
underground before coming to a halt. Then take a ride on Dueling Dragons, the world’s first inverted, dueling (there’s two of them), near-miss coasters. At certain points during the ride
you’ll swear your dangling feet almost touch those of the opposite dragon as it goes roaring by.
Best Way to Spend an Evening Without the Kids
First check the children into one of the Universal resort’s excellent child care centers. Then head to either Emerils at Citywalk, a classy spot reminiscent of the New Orleans warehouse district with intoxicating Creole/Cajun food or Tchuop Chop at Universal’s Royal Pacific Resort, one of the most beautiful restaurants in Orlando serving innovative Asian/Polynesian fare. Afterward dance the night away at Universal’s Citywalk. Buy a Party Pass for unlimited admission to all the nightclubs and enjoy!
Best Resort Restaurant
It’s a toss up. Tchoup Chop at the Royal Pacific Resort for it’s breathtakingly beautiful dining room and imaginative cuisine or Delfino Riviera, Portofino Bay Hotel’s stylish and sophisticated Italian restaurant perched above the piazza overlooking the bay.
Best Way to Spend an Afternoon Away From the Parks
Immerse yourself in luxury with one or two soothing spa treatments at Portofino Bay’s Mandara Spa. Choose from a variety of massage, face, anti-aging, and body treatments including Indonesian four hands massage and Javanese Lulur. Follow this with an afternoon lazing beside one of the resort’s three luxurious pools.
