Histoire
Universal Studios Florida was conceived in the early 1980s to compete with Walt Disney World by offering a unique studio backlot theme park experience.
Initial plans included a tram tour modeled after Universal Studios Hollywood, but these were abandoned after Disney announced Disney-MGM Studios.
The park opened on June 7, 1990, featuring attractions such as Kongfrontation, Jaws, and Back to the Future: The Ride, developed with input from Steven Spielberg.
Over the years, the park has evolved to focus more on standalone attractions and immersive experiences, including the addition of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in 2014.
