迪士尼樂園是規模最大且最具名氣的遊樂園，但哪一座遊樂園是第二呢？那應該是環球主題樂園及度假村。有時候稱作環球影城（或僅僅一字 Universal），這個遊樂園公司一直以來不斷地帶給人們驚奇，時間幾乎和迪士尼一樣久遠。
　　 環球主題樂園及度假村的遊樂設施是以電影為根據，大多數為由環球影業拍製的電影。佛羅里達奧蘭多的《大白鯊》在拆除之前是最著名的設施。現在在日本大阪仍然可以見到它。樂園內以電影為主題的設施也包括了《MIB 星際戰警：外星人來襲》、《ET 外星人冒險》以及許多其它電影主題。
　　 2010 年，《哈利波特的魔法世界》首度在加州環球影城冒險島樂園開幕。它以廣受歡迎的電影《哈利波特》為基礎並且有一間仿製哈利所就讀的學校『霍格華茲』。2014 年，《哈利波特的魔法世界》在佛羅里達和日本的環球影城開幕。今年四月，另一個樂園在好萊塢開幕。所有樂園都擁有雲霄飛車和與系列小說相關的內容以滿足任何一位到訪的影迷。
