Universal's Cinematic Spectacular is a great water projection and pyrotechnic show that takes place each evening between 9 and 10. It's celebrates 100 years of movies and shows clips projected on a water screen on the lagoon.

The show is really good and proves that Universal can pull off great night time entertainment. If only there were more things to do when the sun goes down.

Perhaps part of the issue is that Universal is close to a residential area so could be restricted with as the the type of entertainment that it can do such as fireworks. Nightly fun doesn't have to stop at fireworks.

One of the most memorable things that happened at the premiere of the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Hollywood was the Castle Projection. The score from the film accompanied the beautiful display and, ok, they put on a few fireworks. A nighttime display of this nature would work great at Island's of Adventure. Hogwarts Castle is the perfect backdrop for a light display.

Universal have some great parades and the Mardi Gras events each year are always popular. How about turning the streets of Universal Studios Florida into a party atmosphere on an evening?

Perhaps a lagoon show or a Whoville kids party would get us returning to Islands of Adventure after we've had our fill at CityWalk?

The truth is we want an excuse to stay even later at Universal Orlando Resort because apart from a few things it's practically perfect.

Let us know what you would like to see that would make the parks even better.
