| Storm Force Accelatron at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure |
Storm Force Accelatron is a teacup ride similar to the Mad Hatter attraction in Fantasyland at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom. However, this ride has a few extras built into it. The Storm Force Accelatron spins on a platform, but the individual cups can also spin independently of each other. You can control the speed of your individual cup through the force you exert on the bar in the middle of the ride. The harder you pull on the bar, the faster your cup is going to spin. It’s actually probably tougher to spin this cup compared to the teacups at Magic Kingdom, but once it gets going, it’s going to spin a lot faster than the Magic Kingdom cups too.
In addition to the guest-propelled capability this ride has, you’ll also get a light and sound-effects display. Thunder rumbles through the building and lightening flashes through the sky, and you see and hear it all as you’re working to make your Accelatron move faster.

Here’s how we suggest you turn this from a ride into an Orlando Flex Ticket adventure:
You’ve always wanted to be part of the X-Men, and Storm Force Accelatron helps you be part of the team. Professor X has designed these Accelatrons to amplify Storm’s power over nature. She needs it because Magneto has plans for conquest in motion. Storm cannot use the Accelatron to amplify her power – she has to try to stop Magneto. That’s where you come in. The faster your Accelatron spins, the more control you’ve given Storm over the elements, and the more likely that Magneto will turn and run. So pull for all your worth on the Storm Force Accelatron.
If you successfully thwart Magneto but your power has been zapped in the process, use your Orlando Flextickets to go to Wet ‘n Wild and take a relaxing ride on the waves of the Lazy River. Unlock the power of an Orlando Flex Ticket and turn your Orlando vacation into the real Orlando Flex Ticket adventure that you really wanted.
