Crayola Experience Orlando

he world's largest Crayola crayon, Bluetiful, weighing 1,352 pounds and 15.6 feet long is now on display and has made Crayola Experience Orlando its permanent home. The latest shade to join the Crayola family was announced at the Colorful World of Pigments event hosted at Oregon State University on May 5, 2017. The event was a celebration of YInMn blue and its impact on art, culture and industry. The new crayon shade was inspired by the YInMn pigment discovered in the laboratory of Oregon State by Chemistry Professor Mas Subramanian. Crayola received over 90,000 unique name submissions for the new blue crayon color and almost 400,000 consumers voted to choose the final name for the new color. ‘Bluetiful’ was voted the winner and Crayola created the larger-than-life crayon to celebrate.

hile you’re visiting the undisputed theme park capital of the world, you owe it to yourself to spend some time at a place that consistently elevates itself, changing the game and redefining what a theme park is.

I LOVE ORLANDO

Summer 2018

What was once a pair of world-class theme parks—Universal’s Islands of Adventure™ (voted #1 theme park in the world by Trip Advisor users in 2015, 2016 and 2017) and Universal Studios Florida™ —has evolved into a three-park, multi-day, multi-night must-do in Central Florida. The Resort is home to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™. Guests can travel on the Hogwarts™ Express between Diagon Alley™ in Universal Studios™ and Hogsmeade™ in Islands of Adventure, so a multi-park ticket is definitely the way to go.

There are rides and attractions in both of those parks associated with some of America’s favorite franchises, including Fast & Furious, Transformers™, The Simpsons, Jurassic Park™, The Minions and more. Both parks close out the evening with fantastic light shows, The Nighttime Lights at Hogwarts™ Castle in Islands of Adventure and a spectacular presentation on the lagoon at Universal Studios. A New Wave of Water Theme Park A family could spend the better part of two days just exploring those immersive lands, but Universal Orlando Resort™ is a complete vacation destination, now boasting what is being billed as a “water theme park.” Universal’s Volcano Bay™ is a Pacific island-themed paradise that mixes thrills with tropical relaxation, from a 12-story drop down the volcano’s face to private cabanas. Volcano Bay features an innovative wearable that lets guests hold their place in the ride lines and also reveals some neat surprises with just a wave of the wrist. Connecting the two original parks is Universal CityWalk™, a dining and entertainment hotspot popular with both visitors and locals.
