20. Trigger fingers

 

There are several online guides that will help you score a perfect 999,999 on Men in Black: Alien Attack. One essential tip is to keep your finger down on the trigger at all times – the very act of shooting earns you points, with no penalty for missing.

19. Frank the pug

Frank the Pug

Don’t miss Frank the pug on Men in Black: Alien Attack – shooting the dog will earn you a lot of points. He can be found in the second room, hiding away in the newspaper stand on the far right-hand-side.

18. Multiple bonuses

 Alien AttackThe bonus points for pushing the red button at the end of the ride are not exclusively available to one rider. If everyone in the car holds down the button as soon as they hear the word “push”, it is possible for multiple riders to receive the bonus.

17. Poking fun at a rival

Look out more Disney jibes in the posters outside Shrek 4-D, which poke fun at the Enchanted Tiki Room and Dumbo the Flying Elephant.

16. A tribute to a giant ape

Kongfrontation Look out for a tribute to Kongfrontation in the Treasure Room on Revenge of the Mummy: The Ride(Kongfrontation previously occupied the enormous soundstage that hosts the roller coaster). Among the gold statues is one depicting King Kong himself.

15. The originals

 

Take a look at the bronze plaques that are dotted around the various streets in Universal Studios Florida. These credit the original architects of the buildings upon which the facades are based, such as S. Charles Lee for the Max Factor building and B. Marcus Priteca for the Pantages Theater.

14. A reference to a classic

 

O’Rourke’s Bar & Grill, in the New York area of the park, is named after Kelly O’Rourke, a tragic character from The Godfather.

13. The creators

Peer at the windows of the Metropolis Tribune building in the New York backlot. Each is marked with the name of someone who helped in the development of Universal Studios Florida, such as Charlie Gundacker, senior vice president of attractions development.

12. A significant figure

Lew Wasserman

Take a walk through the New York area. When you reach the Empire Hotel, and you’ll come across a statue of Lew Wasserman, MCA’s late chairman – and the man who green-lighted the construction of Universal Studios Florida.

11. The fallen statue

 

During the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, a statue of geologist Louis Agassiz fell outside the Stanton University Zoology building. Look out for a replica in Richter’s Burger Co., one of the restaurants in the San Francisco backlot area. It is partially-buried, with its head embedded into the ground.
