Top 3 Photo Opportunities at Universal Studios Florida
From Universal Studios Florida to Islands of Adventure, there are plenty of great photo opportunities at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. You’ve seen the iconic Universal Globe from multiple angles, the fiery breath of the Ukrainian Ironbelly in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley, and every twist and turn of The Incredible Hulk Coaster. There are endless photo opportunities to take advantage of, yet many of the best can go unnoticed. These are some of our favorite insider spots to snap those eye-opening photo opportunities at Universal Studios Florida.
Are you ready to Rockit? No list would be complete without a mention of theHollywood Rip Ride Rockit roller coaster at Universal Studios Florida. This angle often goes un-captured and it is located near the old Ghostbusters library in the New York section of the park. When facing Rockit’s massive non-inverting loop, make your way to the right and head straight to the back of New York for a shot that (no pun intended) rocks!
Gringotts and the colossal fiery dragon atop the magical bank are the main draws of many eyes in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley. But just off the beaten path is a can’t-miss photo op in Knockturn Alley where the darkness and shadows make your pic look as real as the films. Explore Borgin and Burkes and take advantage of the slower traffic times to get this awesome photo.
Watch out for aliens while trying to get a shot in this attraction. MEN IN BLACK Alien Attack is an interactive ride where you have to zap aliens out of the streets of New York before they take over. If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to snag the chance to take a tour of the Immigration Room at the end of the ride where you can snap an exclusive picture like this one.
Next time you pay a visit to Universal Orlando Resort try to look at the park from a different point of view. You never know what you might find!
