Trouble with Universal web site

[scoopmorgan]

I feel fairly adequate at navigating most web sites, but i really struggle with the Universal Orlando site. I don't think it is just me. I find myself having to start from scratch every time I want to go back to the previous page. i am trying to check out the different rides to determine which ones are must sees, and which ones are if time allows. Can anyone refer me to a site that may be easier to use, that covers the rides/shows? I guess i got spoiled by the Disney sites.

I agree with you about the website. I find it really monotonous to navigate, more-so since they "upgraded" it recently.

Yes, you are right about their website. I'm guessing it's designed solely for tablets now. Then again, maybe it doesn't work well on tablets either. Anyway, Scoopmorgan, I'll send you a private message with a site that should help you find what you're looking for.

There is a spot on the Universal website to send them feedback. Please do that, as this is a common complaint.

It seems to work fine on my laptop. I can look at a ride and then go back to the page that lists all the rides. https://www.universalorlando.com/we...&attraction_location=ioa&attraction_interest=

I'm not loving the new UO site at all

I took a survey a few days ago and voiced my complaints, but I will check out the feedback opportunity on their page, too. Thanks.

Touring Plans lists the attractions/shows, ratings, and reviews. However, you may need a subscription to access them. Since I have one, I can't tell what's available for free. However, their subscriptions are pretty cheap (<$15) and Mouse Savers often has a deal/coupon. Here are the links to try.

Thanks, much!

Thanks, much!

Were you able to access the links? Just wondering. I never can tell what is accessible with and without an account, since I have had one for so long. If you are ever looking for guide books, I really recommend theirs. Their Disney ones are even better, but all of them list out the attractions really well with lots of detailed info.

I agree! The "upgraded" Universal site is not easy to move around at all.

Yes! They are so much easier, and rewarding. I appreciate the tip! Now I can plan away to my hearts content.
