Universal Studios Florida

Universal Studios Florida is the original and main theme park of the Universal Orlando Resort. It opened on June 7th, 1990 and is themed towards the entertainment business and encourages guests to "ride the movies." It was the second Universal theme park to open after Universal Studios Hollywood.

History
Throughout the 1980s, Universal made plans for a theme park on the east coast to rival Walt Disney World. Many top Hollywood minds such as Stephen Spielberg served as creative consultants in building the park and its' attraction. Universal took many scenes from its' popular Backlot Tour in Hollywood and expanded them to create bigger stand alone attractions, such as Jaws and Kongfrontation to act as the park's primary attractions. The park opened on June 7th, 1990 but many of it's marquee rides experienced problems that resulted in many closures and angry guests. Despite early struggles, the park has continued to add state of the art attractions and become one of the world's most popular theme parks.
