Ride the movies — a backlot city where a dragon guards a wizard bank, a red steam train leaves for another park entirely, and a kid on a flying bicycle has been crossing the moon since 1990.

What makes this park itself.
This park's trick is scale honesty: the New York and San Francisco streets are real film sets you walk through, so when a dragon erupts over a London rooftop it somehow feels documentary.
More about Universal Studios Florida
Do Diagon Alley at night. The alley glows, the dragon's fire lights the whole facade, and the butterbeer line finally breathes.
The map follows the central lagoon: the front gate at the lower left, New York and San Francisco along the top of the water, Diagon Alley in the upper right, World Expo on the right edge, and Hollywood and DreamWorks Land below.
