Is it worth taking a 2 year old to Universal Studios?

My son had a blast on all the rides as he's quite fearless and was even able to ride his first roller coaster – Flight of the Hippogriff. For us, it was worth taking a 2-year-old to Universal Orlando, but I wouldn't recommend going without reaching this minimal height requirement of 36?. What is this?
