Welcome to Universal Orlando Resort
We have provided this guide to give you as much detailed information
about each attraction experience as possible. Our goal is to ensure
that everyone is able to make well-informed decisions about their
ability to safely, comfortably, and conveniently experience each of
our attractions. If, at any time, you feel that you do not have enough
information to make these decisions, please feel free to contact us.
Additionally, we have included specific information for Guests
with disabilities. This information provides a clear outline of
the accommodations at each attraction, as well as the physical
requirements for entering or exiting ride vehicles and other attraction
areas. It is important to note that although all of our Attractions
Attendants are eager to make your day as pleasant as possible, they
are not trained in lifting or carrying techniques and therefore cannot
provide physical assistance. We suggest that Guests with disabilities
bring a companion who can provide any physical assistance that may
be needed.
Our goal is to provide the best accommodations possible to all
of our Guests. With the information that follows, and with the
information our Team Members can provide in answering questions,
we are confident the experience you have with us will exceed your
expectations.
How to Contact Us
You can message us at www.visitorsatisfaction.com/contactus/. Guest
Services Coordinators are available seven days a week from 8:30AM
until park close and make every effort to respond to messages in 24
to 48 hours; however, due to current high volume of emails received
each day, please allow several days for a response. If you require an
immediate response, please call us at 407-224-4233, option 4 (four). If
you have any questions while visiting our parks, please stop by Guest
Services inside the main entrance for assistance.
Participate Responsibly
Failure to follow posted guidelines may result in serious injury or
expulsion from the park.
Accessibility Accommodations
At Universal Orlando we are proud of providing accommodations
that create a welcoming, inclusive environment and accessible
experiences for our Guests. The queue experience at the majority of
our attractions is an integral part of telling the story of the overall
attraction experience. As a result, we have constructed our queues
to be accessible to Guests using wheelchairs (with the exception of
Pteranodon Flyers at Universal’s Islands of Adventure).
3
ATTRACTION ASSISTANCE PASS
We have developed an Attraction Assistance Pass which allows Guests
whose disability prevents them from waiting in a conventional queue
environment. This Pass allows Guests to schedule a return time that is
comparable to the current queue wait for the given attraction. Once
a return time is issued, Guests are free to enjoy other theme park
offerings such as meeting a character, grabbing a bite to eat, shopping,
or enjoying area entertainment. Guests can only have one active
return time at a time.
A Guest whose disability is based on the necessity to use a wheelchair
may not need an Attraction Assistance Pass, but our Guest Services
Team will work individually with each Guest to provide reasonable
accommodations. All accommodations can be made in person by
visiting Guest Services at the entrance to both Universal Studios
Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure.
Safety Advisory
FOR YOUR SAFETY
Shoes and shirts must be worn at all times. Read all health and safety
requirements for each attraction as they are not all the same. You
know your physical conditions and limitations; Universal Orlando
does not. If you suspect your health could be at risk for any reason,
or you could aggravate a pre-existing condition of any kind, do not
experience the attraction.
RIDE INFORMATION
For your safety and the safety of others, always face forward, keeping
your hands and feet inside the ride vehicle at all times. Remain seated
until the ride comes to a complete stop and you receive instruction to
exit the vehicle.
LOST ITEMS
Never attempt to recover a lost item while riding. Notify an
Attractions Attendant for assistance and we will do everything we can
4 to recover your property as quickly as possible.
RESTRAINT SYSTEMS
All passenger restraint systems, including lap bars, shoulder harnesses,
and seat belts must be positioned and fastened properly to assure
guest safety. Guests who do not fit properly within any safety
restraint will not be permitted to ride.
Guests whose waistline is at least 40” (102cm) or greater may not be
accommodated on the following rides and are strongly encouraged
to try the test seats provided at the entrance of the attractions to
ensure their ability to ride.
METAL DETECTORS
Guests wishing to experience Jurassic World VelociCoaster,
The Incredible Hulk Coaster® and Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit
will be required to pass through a metal detector as loose
articles are strictly prohibited on these attractions.
General Information
PARKING
Guests entering the Toll Plaza with an Accessible Parking Permit will
be directed to our accessible parking spots.
WHEELCHAIR RENTAL
If you require a wheelchair or Electric Convenience Vehicle (ECV),
limited quantities are available for rental on a first come, first served
basis. The Wheelchair Rental facilities are located in the Parking
and Transportation Center and at both theme park entrances. You
will be asked to leave a monetary deposit in addition to the daily
rental fee for the wheelchair. ECVs can only be rented just inside the
main entrance turnstiles of each park at the stroller rental facility. If
additional assistance is needed please notify a Team Member.
With the exception of the Hogwarts™ Express, none of the ride
vehicles or attraction queues at Universal Orlando will accommodate
ECVs. At those rides which can accommodate standard wheelchairs,
6 Guests may transfer from their ECV into a standard wheelchair that
is provided at each location. If you cannot transfer to a standard
wheelchair, please see an Attractions Attendant.
RESTROOMS
All restrooms within both theme parks and CityWalk have facilities
that are accessible for Guests using wheelchairs.
FAMILY RESTROOMS
For your convenience, Universal Orlando Resort provides family
restrooms. Please refer to the park map for current locations.
FIRST AID
Our First Aid facilities are staffed with registered nurses and
professional paramedics. In Universal’s Islands of Adventure, the
primary First Aid Station is located in The Lost Continent. Please
see our 2-Park Guide Map for exact location. There is also a satellite
facility located at Guest Services in the Port of Entry. At Universal
Studios Florida, First Aid is located in New York next to Louie’s Italian
Restaurant. There is a satellite facility located in the front of the park
next to Lost and Found. If you have any questions or need additional
assistance, ask any Team Member or stop by Guest Services inside the
main entrance.
NURSING FACILITIES
Nursing facilities are also located at our First Aid facilities.
Guests Using Wheelchairs
For your enjoyment and convenience, all of our shopping and
dining facilities are wheelchair accessible. Also, our stage
shows and parade offerings have areas reserved for
"Accessible Viewing." These areas are clearly marked with the
International Symbol of Accessibility.
At most of our attractions, the queue experience is an important part
of telling the story of the overall attraction experience. As a result, we
have made all of our queues accessible to Guests using wheelchairs
(with the exception of Pteranodon Flyers at Universal’s Islands of
Adventure, please see an Attractions Attendant for assistance). There
are specific boarding requirements and accommodations for those
using wheelchairs at each attraction. In all cases, if you are capable of
transferring to the attraction seating (either by yourself or with the
assistance of another person in your party) you may transfer.
For the safety of our Guests, certain attractions contain a height
requirement due to the dynamic elements in the ride system. Guests
7 who are unable to stand independently for height verification should
see an Attractions Attendant for assistance.
Additionally, certain attractions are capable of allowing Guests to
remain in their standard wheelchair:
Portable Service Animal kennels are available while you enjoy certain
attractions. Please note that our Team Members cannot assist in the
handling of Service Animals.
Relief areas are available throughout the park. Please refer to our
2-Park Guide Map or The Official Universal Orlando Resort App for
specific locations.

assistance. Canes or crutches may be brought to you before exiting
the vehicle.

WAT E R T H E M E PA R K
Welcome to Universal’s Volcano Bay
This guide will provide you with detailed information about each
attraction experience to ensure that everyone is able to make well-
informed decisions about their ability to safely, comfortably, and
conveniently experience our attractions.
We have included specific information in this guide for Guests with
disabilities with a clear outline of the accommodations at each
attraction, as well as the physical requirements for entering or exiting
slide start tubs, tubes, mats, rafts, pools, and other attraction areas. It
is important to note that although all of our park Team Members are
eager to make your day as pleasant as possible, they are not trained
in lifting or carrying techniques and therefore cannot provide physical
assistance. We therefore suggest that Guests with disabilities bring
a companion who can provide any physical assistance that may be
needed.
Our goal is to provide the best accommodations possible to all of our
Guests. With the information that follows and the knowledge our
Team Members have, we are confident the experience you have with
us will exceed your expectations.
VIRTUAL LINE™ EXPERIENCE
All of Universal’s Volcano Bay attractions employ the use of the
Virtual Line™ experience, which allows Guests to schedule a wait
time that is comparable to the current queue wait time for the given
attraction. Once a wait time is assigned, Guests are free to enjoy
other water theme park offerings. As soon as an active Virtual Line™
experience pass is redeemed, Guests may select another Virtual Line™
experience wait time.
How to Contact Us
If at any time you feel that you do not have enough information,
please feel free to message Guest Services at www.visitorsatisfaction.
com/contactus/. Guest Services Coordinators are available seven days
a week between the hours of 8:30AM until park close and make every
effort to respond to messages within 24 to 48 hours; however, due to
the high volume of emails received each day, please allow several days
for a response. If you require an immediate response, please call us at
407-224-4233. If you have any questions while visiting our parks, please
stop by Guest Services inside the main entrance for assistance.
Participate Responsibly
Failure to follow posted guidelines may result in serious injury or
expulsion from the park.

Descriptions and Restrictions
There are a few general conditions which apply to all attractions:
All of the attractions at Universal’s Volcano Bay incorporate safety
systems designed to accommodate people of average physical stature
and body proportion. Therefore, certain restrictions may apply for
some Guests at each attraction based on the nature and dynamics of
the experience. This includes restrictions based on body shape or size,
height, weight, medical conditions, or other physical conditions which
could be aggravated by the experience. Our prime consideration is
the ability of each person to endure the dynamics of each attraction
without risk of injury to that person or others.
Explanation of Terms
We use a standard set of terms to describe each of our attractions.
Our intent is to provide you with a clear understanding of each
attraction’s dynamics and physical requirements so that you can
make an informed decision about experiencing them. The attraction
