Universal's Great Movie Escape brings escape rooms based on Back to the Future and Jurassic World and a great new bar to CityWalk Orlando. Read our review.
There’s more to a theme park than rides. That might be the most important part of a theme park for many guests, but a well-rounded park needs entertainment for everybody. 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.
There are some similarities between the two experiences. 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. 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 will miraculously figure it out from her end and let you move on to the next room.
As entertaining as the escape rooms are, the best thing about the Great Movie Escape might be its bar. The lobby is designed to look like an old Art Deco movie theater, complete with a screen showing movie trivia, and it’s well-appointed with classy old furniture and a soundtrack of ‘30s jazz. The bar offers a variety of movie-themed cocktails , and between the great drinks and the enchanting atmosphere it’s worth hanging out at even if you don’t plan on doing any escaping.
