A cacophony of colors, music and mood set the scene on this

books spring into being.
 The
Lost Continent
Those who dare to proceed must do so cautiously or quickly
find themselves lost in a foreboding, medieval forest inhabited
by fiery dragons and mythical gods ... a land once believed
to exist only in the mists of time, a land where myths and
legends come to life.
 Toon
Lagoon
This island brings to life more than 150 of the world's best-loved
two-dimensional cartoon characters in an en environment which
melts the boundaries between imagination and reality.

time, showcasing revolutionary rides and attractions that
combine moving vehicles, 3-D action film and special effects.

won't be disappointed.
 Incredible
Hulk
CoasterImmediately go weightless in a zero-G roll ... this
is the same thrust as in a U.S. Air Force F-16 fighter jet.
Experience a cobra roll, a 360-degree high speed spiral, double
loops and two corkscrew turns. The coaster's largest drop
is 105 feet, with speeds of over 60 mph.
 Dueling
Dragons
The world's first inverted dueling roller coaster, "Dueling
Dragons" is actually two separate and intertwined roller
coasters. Each track, Fire Dragon and Ice Dragon, is a different
layout. There are three "near misses" where the
coasters come to within 12 inches of each other. You will
experience one Immelman curve, one camelback hill, one 70-degree
inclined loop, two vertical loops, one cobra roll, one zero-G
roll, one corkscrew and two interlocked corkscrews.
Come see for yourself ... there is
something for everyone at Universal Studios "Islands
of Adventure", from the youngsters who love Dr. Seuss
and cartoon characters to adults wanting the adventure of
"Jurassic Park" and the "Lost Continent".

Islands of Adventure
Review:
By Joy Atkinson (Summer Intern)
Islands of Adventure is home to roller coasters, water
rides, shows, and Dr. Seuss land. You can even do both
parks in one day, especially with the use of Universal
Express. This additional option allows you to jump to
the front of the line. Creating a better use of your
time in the parks since you would not have to wait as
long in line.
Island of Adventures includes the Incredible Hulk Coaster,
which accelerated me and turned my body every imaginable
way in a matter of moments. Hold onto your hats because
they will blow off this exciting coaster. Doctor Doom's
Fearfall tests your fear of heights and uses it to conquer
the Universe. I think he sucked some fear out of me.
Spiderman is high tech 3-D and the ride of your life.
Dueling Dragons is a coaster that flips and twists and
just goes all over the place. There are two coasters
for the same line, which is nice because it makes the
line move very quickly. Each coaster is different. Watch
out, they might crash together. Plenty of rides to get
soaked on, make sure to take a tour of the dinosaurs
at Jurassic Park, they are real. Finally, visit Seuss
Landing no matter what age you are, it is sure to brighten
up your day.
