Some people are into theme parks for the food, characters, and family bonding. Others are into them for the thrills, adrenaline, and sense of adventure when conquering a new ride. If you are the latter, you definitely know how to enjoy a theme park. Here are some tips and tricks to get the most out of your trip so you can take on every ride like a pro.
If you’re wanting to hit every thrill ride the parks have to offer, make sure to make an itinerary on what rides to hit and when! Construct a list of the most intense rides at the park you are visiting so you don’t miss out on any attractions worth getting on and don’t waste your time on any rides that don’t satisfy the adrenaline rush you’re craving.
If you’re wanting to ride a coaster where the line eats into a big chunk of your day, get to the parks early and hop in that line! In the theme park world you never save the best for last. If you can get early park admission by staying at any of the Universal Orlando Resort Hotels, this would immensely help your goals of riding all you can before the parks get busy.
If you’re a true adrenaline junkie, a Universal Express Pass is the best purchase you can make. Instead of spending your time waiting in lines, you can cruise through the park and even ride your favorite ride more than once!
Make sure to go with a friend who’s equally as much of a thrill seeker as you are. Riding coasters is so much better when you have someone to do it with.
Get a photo pass and collect photos from all your favorite thrill rides to make the ultimate souvenir. Rides like Jurassic World VelociCoaster, Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure™, The Incredible Hulk Coaster®, and Revenge of the Mummy all have on-ride photos where you can capture the moment forever and remember how you conquered that ride.
The most important rule of conquering roller coasters is to take care of yourself too. Make sure to stay hydrated, take meal breaks, and take that Dramamine if you get motion sick. The theme parks are hard enough in the Florida heat, but a true thrill seeker knows how to take care of themselves while enjoying the moment
