There are some attractions at Universal Orlando Resort that have simply become classics amongst fans, those that fundamentally have all the elements to stand the test of time, those we can never imagine leaving the resort. Here is our list of three attractions that we hope never see the chopping block...

1. Revenge of the Mummy (Has to stay!)

This coaster is not only the best coaster in Universal Studios, it stands as one of the best indoor coasters in the world. The theming is immersive, it has unpredictable drops and turns, and impressive special effects. The coaster has stood the test of time and proven itself as a top-tier theme park attraction overall.

2. E.T. Adventure (Has to stay!)

Many may argue with this attraction being untouchable, but it now stands as the only opening-day attraction still operating at Universal Studios. Honest, it still holds up too. The flying bicycle ride vehicles are unique, the effects are immersive, and E.T. personally bids you farewell at the end of the attraction. It is a classic dark ride and a classic dark ride done well. Sure, it is a bit outdated, but there isn’t any other attraction quite like it.

3. Jurassic Park River Adventure (Has to stay!)

Jurassic Park River Adventure is another attraction that combines thrill with immersive dark-ride elements. In a time when screens and coasters seem to dominate at Universal Orlando Resort, Jurassic Park River Adventure delivers that classic attraction feel like Jaws or Kongfrontation that came before it.

You genuinely feel like you are transported into the movie with lush foliage, immersive set pieces, and animatronic dinosaurs. Not to mention, the final drop narrowly escaping the T-Rex’s jaws is iconic.
