What rides get you wet at Universal Studios?

Q: How many water rides are at Universal Studios Orlando? A: There are technically only three water rides in Universal Studios, all of which are located in Islands of Adventure. Those Universal water rides are Jurassic Park River Adventure, Popeye and Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges, and Dudley-Do Right's Rip Saw Falls.

Don't wear sneakers on water rides. That seems obvious right? But on rides like Popeye and Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges you will get soaked and you have to wear shoes. So even if you just bring a cheap pair of flip flops in your bag, switch out your shoes before the water rides.

#1 – Jurassic World VelociCoaster You can feel the rush of the hunt of this ride as you become the main course for velociraptors as you race through their enclosure. The Jurassic World VelociCoaster is the scariest ride in Universal Studios Orlando and will make your heart pound as you make your way through.

Disney's Animal Kingdom staple attraction Expedition Everest is super scary, but overall, Disney tends to do less in the way of thrill rides. Conversely, Universal Studios Florida delivers on ride-induced screams.

The Jurassic World VelociCoaster is definitely the scariest ride in Universal Studios Orlando and will absolutely make your heart pound as you make your way through. You can expect two separate launches, with one of them going up to 70 mph into a 140 foot drop and even an inverted zero-gravity stall.

Water Wear – A spare bathing suit and towel for your day at Volcano Bay (again, accidents and rips happen). And a bathing suit under clothes or extra set of Dri-Fit clothing to wear on water rides or water areas at Universal Studios Florida and Universal Islands of Adventure.

One of our top tips for what to wear to Universal Studios, especially in Orlando is lightweight clothing and have an option to add layers. Florida is hot and humid outside and inside you'll be in air conditioning, so having a lightweight sweatshirt is ideal for waiting inside in lines as well as in the evenings.

Though the boats make a huge splash at the bottom of the 85-foot drop, you can stay relatively dry if you are sitting in an interior seat; sitting behind a larger person and keeping your arms down can help.

The drop is longer at Jurassic park and the theming scarier, but there is only one drop there, where at Splash Mt. there are several smaller drops. Splash Mt is a great ride. It is a shame some people shy away because of the drops, since the whole theming is great.

Bring a dry stash of clothes or a towel. Some people (aka, ME) have been known to dry off (as if that was even possible) with the hand dryers and paper towels/tissues in the girls room. That was awkward. Think ahead and stash a set of clothes in one of those trusty waterproof zip top bags!

It is somewhat extreme, but not as extreme as many other coasters. Evaluating thrill levels for other Universal Orlando rides, we give the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit coaster and the Hulk coaster 8s. The more tame Harry Potter and the Escape From Gringotts gets a 4 on the same scale.
