Before we begin our trek through the Universal Parks, let’s cover some basic questions. First, there are two parks we’ll be covering for our Universal Studios attractions list, and in order to hit up all of these rides, you will need to have either a park-to-park pass or you’ll need to have two days of one-park passes. There is one ride on our list, the Hogwarts Express, that can only be ridden by guests who have a park-to-park pass, allowing them access to both parks in one day since this ride travels between the two parks.

This Universal Studios Florida rides list will cover all of the Islands of Adventure rides as well as all of the Universal Studios Orlando rides, so settle in and take the tour of all of the Universal attractions with us!

And Universal Orlando has announced a brand new theme park coming for 2025, which will means more rides! As that park continues to be built, we will keep a current list of rides at Universal Studios at EPIC Universe too! With that being said, let’s see the current rides at Universal Studios 2024!
