The Pteranodon Flyers will entertain kids in a not as fast paced ride underneath the wings of a Pteranodon. This hanging coaster is located in Camp Jurassic Park, it swings from side to side as your flight changes directions.

Dining at Universal Islands of Adventure Theme Park

Take time to eat at Mythos Restaurant where you will be surrounded by rocks and cascading waterfalls all while enjoying some of the best food in the park. You can sit inside to enjoy your meal or outside while you eat and enjoy the park view.

“Lying offshore a craggy grotto on The Lost Continent®, the cavernous interior of the restaurant looks as if it’s been carved from the rock by the very gods whose images are etched into the walls. In addition to the dining room there is also outdoor seating offering a spectacular view of the park’s inland sea and vistas of the park’s colorful islands.

The food itself far exceeds the fare normally enjoyed by mere mortals… let alone theme park visitors. Enjoy such dishes as blueberry and pistachio crusted grilled pork, cedar planked Bay of Fundy salmon, gourmet hamburgers and imported pasta. Mouth-watering desserts and a full wine list are available. There is also a separate children’s menu.”
