Much like the Flight of the Hippogriff at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, the Woody Woodpecker Nuthouse Coaster at Universal Studios Florida is designed as a kids coaster.
The Woody Woodpecker coaster does not have quite the thrills or views that you may have on the Flight of the Hippogriff, but it’s a very fun coaster, nonetheless. As you’ll hear in the video, my 5 year old daughter loved it and screamed during the whole ride. 🙂
With a quick climb to the apex of the ride at the start, you’ll get a good view of part of Universal Studios Florida, including Fievel’s Playground, E.T., and more. A quick drop and some spins will bring you to the end of the ride rather quickly.
You must be at least 36″ to ride the Woody Woodpecker Nuthouse Coaster and if you’re under 48″, must be accompanied by a “supervising companion.” I rode with my daughter (about 42″ tall) and my son (about 57″) was on his own. Both did fine and really enjoyed the ride.
Right next door, you have two different play areas that both involve water, so it’s a great area at Universal Studios Florida to get some thrills and then cool off for a bit. With the intensity of the Florida heat in the summer, you absolutely must remember areas like this in the Florida theme parks!
