Discovery Series – Universal Orlando Resort
Discovery Series Universal Orlando Resort is a full-size mug that accompanies the ornament that we saw earlier.
The tower to the left of the title is the Pharos Lighthouse which marks the entrance to the Universal Islands of Adventure. These are the “islands” of the park:

– Seuss Landing is a whimsical, colorful area that brings Dr. Seuss’s imaginative world to life, featuring buildings and attractions designed to look like they’ve jumped directly from the pages of his beloved books.

The back of the mug showcases the Krakatau Volcano which is located in the Volcano Bay water theme park. This impressive 200-foot-tall artificial volcano is the centerpiece of the park and serves as both a stunning visual landmark and the source of multiple water attractions. Specifically, the volcano contains several water slides that wind through and around its structure, including the popular Krakatau Aqua Coaster, which sends riders through tunnels inside the mountain itself. Unlike traditional theme park mountains like those found at Disney parks, Krakatau is unique in that it’s part of a water park and is designed to be both an aesthetic and functional attraction within the Volcano Bay landscape.
