7 best rides at Universal Studios

My son and I made a YouTube video about the best rides at Universal, but we included both Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. For this list, I am only talking about the best rides at Universal Studios, but I’ll be making a separate post on the best rides at IoA.

I do realize that “best” is subjective, so please remember that this is just my opinion and don’t get mad at me if your favorite ride didn’t make the cut. If this is your first time visiting Universal Studios, don’t forget to check out 20 things to know before going to Universal Orlando.

20 things to know before going to Universal Studios
