New York at Universal Studios Florida, Orlando, Florida

This part of New York used to be the domain of King Kong. The Kongfrontation ride was fun, Revenge of the Mummy was a highlight of Universal Studios Florida back in the day. Revenge of the Mummy is obviously a ride based on the rebooted Mummy series of movies starring Brendon Frasier and Rachel Weisz. It is a roller coaster/dark ride hybrid. There are sections where the coaster is used as a dark ride vehicle moving you from scene to scene inside of a recently unearthed Egyptian tomb. Eventually though the story peaks and the coaster begins. The ride was built by Premiere Rides and has three launches. I'm not going to spoil the fun but just a warning that when you think the ride is over beware as it may not be.

This was a coaster that I rode over and over during Universal Studio's early entry for those staying in a resort hotel or with a Universal Express Pass like I had for my first day. If you get a Express Pass when you visit make sure to arrive early and enjoy the heck out of this wonderful coaster repeatedly.

Another attraction in New York is the Blues Brothers Rhythm and Blues Revue. Now technically Joliet Jake and Elwood are from Calumet City, Illinois it was good to hear some good blues being belted out at Universal Studios Florida.

Hollywood at Universal Studios Florida, Orlando, Florida

A short walk from New York finds guests of Universal Studios Florida on the other coast deep in the heart of Hollywood.

Being Hollywood you have great movie palaces like the Pantages Theater...

...and the streets lined with stars like William Shatner who also is the first actor in space.
