Ride & Height Requirements
At Universal Orlando Resort, safety is our top priority. While our attractions have been designed so that the maximum number of guests can enjoy them, please be aware that many attractions have restrictions and guidelines to make sure our guests have a safe, enjoyable experience. They include language about:

- The nature and dynamics of the experience
- Guest height, medical conditions or other factors that should be considered before riding

Many attractions use safety restraints that some guests may find uncomfortable or that may occasionally prevent an individual from experiencing the attraction. Some attractions have "test seats" available so that guests can determine comfort and fit for themselves before riding.

Please take note of guidelines and restrictions before riding. To assist you in planning your visit, we have provided a list of attractions with restrictions.

NOTE: Children under 48" (1.22 meters) must be accompanied by a Supervising Companion at all times and on all attractions.

Universal Orlando^® Resort

Let’s get down to it. You’re excited and raring to go on what will undoubtedly be your family’s best vacation ever! We at Universal Orlando^® Resort can’t wait to meet you all, and wish the best of times for you to come. To ensure the frowns stay upside down, here’s a checklist we’ve put together for you.

Travel Tip

Due to the popularity of our new attractions like The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ at Universal's Islands of Adventure® and Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit® at Universal Studios®, we recommend you purchase at least a 2-Day Ticket with park-to-park access.

This will ensure you have the greatest opportunity to experience everything at Universal Orlando® Resort. Start your day at Universal Studios and visit Islands of Adventure in the afternoon, or travel between both parks whenever you want!

Checklist

Comfortable shoes. These are a must! You'll be doing a lot of walking around the theme parks, and you could be on your feet quite a bit more than you may anticipate. For this reason, we do not recommend wearing flip-flops or heeled shoes to the parks.
Dress shoes. For the fashion-conscious, stylish shoes will come in handy if you plan on dining at one of our upscale restaurants, such as Emeril's^® Restaurant Orlando or hitting the nightclubs at CityWalk^®.
Sunscreen. They don't call Florida the Sunshine State for nothing! It doesn't take long to get sunburned. Make sure to cover up!
Sunglasses. Great for two reasons: you'll look like a movie star, and you'll protect your eyes from the bright sun.
Baseball cap or wide brimmed hat. Hats will help to shield your eyes and face from the Florida sun. This is especially essential for men with bald or shaved heads. Remember to take your hat off on our thrill rides, though!
Swimwear. You'll definitely want to cool off in the pool while you're in Orlando. You may also want to bring your bathing suit or a change of clothing when you come to Universal Orlando's theme parks. Some of the water rides, particularly in Universal's Islands of Adventure, will get you quite soaked. There are rental lockers where you can store your clothes. Some people even wear their swimwear underneath their outer clothes, and strip down to their bathing suits before boarding the water rides.
Jacket or sweatshirt. Believe it or not, it can actually get pretty chilly in Florida. Between December and February, the temperature can fluctuate from week to week between T-shirt warmth and winter coat cold. Be sure to consult your newspaper, television, or the internet before your trip to determine the weather forecast for the entire length of your stay, especially if you’re visiting in the winter.
Backpacks and shoulder bags. A small, soft-sided bag is always handy to have with you when exploring the parks. Please be advised that your bag will be inspected by Security before you enter the theme parks, and you may have to check it in a rental locker before boarding certain thrill rides and roller coasters. We recommend that you pack only basic essentials and leave valuable items at home or in your hotel safe.
Wet wipes. These are a good idea if you’re traveling with kids, especially if they're going to be snacking.
Camera with batteries, plenty of film or extra memory cards. Expect to take lots of photographs during your visit.
And most important, don't forget to bring any essential medications you or your family will need during your stay! You can stop by Health Services at each park for assistance with storing your daily medication.

We offer a variety of fresh, delicious food for our guests to enjoy at restaurants and concession stands throughout our resort; however, we understand that guests may need to bring outside food and drink into our parks.
