You can’t really lose in either one if you take too long to figure out how to get out of Back to the Future: Outatime’s old west engine room, for example, your guide Niko from the Institute of Future Technology (yes, rooms are full of Easter eggs not just for the movies but for Universal attractions past and present) will miraculously figure it out from her end and let you move on to the next room.
You have an on-screen guide in both who will give you some basic instructions and offer up additional clues if you take too much time on any puzzle. There are some similarities between the two experiences. You will think you’re decoding a dinosaur’s DNA by sliding metal viewfinders over wall-mounted computer screens-or at least will experience what is clearly a theme park approximation of the kind of nebulous science-y hijinks that B.D. Based on Back to the Future and Jurassic World, its two escape room experiences have multiple rooms each, with the kind of exacting detail and transportative design you expect from world class theme park artists.
If you’re going to spend a week in Orlando, you need something to do on the days you aren’t schlepping through the theme parks, and that brings us to the latest addition to the Florida version of CityWalk: Universal’s Great Movie Escape.īilled as an “escape room experience,” Great Movie Escape brings popular Universal IP and theme park-level design to the humble puzzle room, that fun (and often aggravating) party experience that has exploded in popularity over the last decade.
And given how much those major players depend on multi-day visitors, that kind of entertainment has long since spread out from the confines of the actual parks themselves and taken root as miniature golf courses, water parks, movie theaters, and entertainment districts like Universal CityWalk and Disney Springs. That means not just rides for all ages and thrill levels, but shows, parades, music, fireworks, even themed restaurants-all the bells and whistles that set major theme parks like Universal and Disney apart from so many of their smaller regional competitors.
That might be the most important part of a theme park for many guests, but a well-rounded park needs entertainment for everybody.
