The Cat in the Hat is one of Orlando's classic attractions.
On this post
In fact, we have already commented on some of them and the historical importance of their presence in the parks.
Without a doubt, this is a ride able to entertain children. However, if you're in your 30s, you'll remember Dr. Seuss.
The attraction is even located in the area known as Seuss landing, Islands Islands Adventure.
Just like this one, all the attractions of the place were based on the narratives of Dr. Seuss and I do a lot for kids.
To access the area, turn right as you enter Islands of Adventure.
Features of The Cat in the Hat
The plot
The book ?The Cat in the Hat?, or ?O Gatola da Cartola?, in Portuguese, is authored by the famous Dr. Seuss. After a while, the characters also appeared in some animations.
According to the story, the ?Gatola? is a big cat, who wears a top hat with red and white colors. Through this prop, he is able to perform magic tricks to entertain children.
His adventure friends are the famous Thing 1 and Thing 2 (Coisa 1 and Coisa 2).
By the way, chances are you'll see a lot of hoodies and T-shirts with these writings in Orlando.
Sometimes, the tricks performed by the characters caused confusion. However, the ?Gatola? and the ?Thing?s? they always managed to tidy up before an adult arrived.
The Ride
The duration of the attraction is about 4 minutes. Also, you must remember that it was intended for children.
This way, there is no age restriction so your travel group can enjoy the adventure. In turn, the recommended minimum height is 1.22 meters.
The attraction features the story of Dr. Seuss as a base. Therefore, all decoration elements refer to entertainment for children and the confusion generated.
Therefore, you will enter a cart with capacity for 12 people and travel through history. All the elements are very colorful and will catch the attention of children.
How is the queue for The Cat in the Hat?
Despite being a classic, the queue for the attraction is usually very small. This is due to the fact that many adults consider it "dull".
However, I always recommend that you visit the historical attractions. After all, parks go through changes frequently, and it may be that some of them are withdrawn over time.
If the queue is long, know that the single rider is not an option. However, you will be able to use the official queue jump at Universal parks.
Universal Express
The Cat in the Hat accepts the ticket skips queues at Universal Orlando Resorts🇧🇷 On the other hand, I believe you won't need to use it.
Of course, unlike Fastpass+, you won't ?spend? your Universal Express at this attraction as it does not need to be booked.
So if there's a queue, use it. After all, we should save and optimize our time in the parks, so that we can enjoy the attractions to the fullest!
How is The Cat in the Hat route?
The attraction goes through several scenes from the story. That is, throughout the entire moment, you'll live the adventures of Gatola and the Thing's.
Therefore, you will visit different rooms of the house, all with vibrant colors. Some sounds such as knocking and objects breaking may be heard.
In the end, you'll also realize that the adults will be home any minute now. Therefore, the characters will have to clean up the place quickly, so they don't get caught!
