One of the most popular attractions among visitors to the International Drive Resort Area is the I-Ride Trolley. Combining the charm of the past with today’s modern comforts, the Trolleys transport millions of visitors to the attractions and accommodations located in Orlando’s tourist corridor. And it is the best bargain in the area: $1.00 for a single adult ride!

 

The service area just expanded to include the recently-opened Aquatica- SeaWorld’s Waterpark, the new Point Orlando Resort as well as the recently renovated Westgate Palace Resort near Wet 'n Wild. Aquatica, SeaWorld’s Waterpark, includes up-close animal experiences, high-speed thrills and wide, sandy beaches.

 

Aquatica is the first new water park to open in Orlando in 12 years. It features 36 water slides; six rivers and lagoons and more than 80,000 square feet (7,432 square meters) of beach area. Guests are immersed with live animals in the park, including Commerson’s dolphins, brilliant macaws and colorful fish.

 

The I-Ride Trolley Main Line route travels primarily along International Drive north and south, beginning at Prime Outlets Orlando and traveling southbound on a circular route to Orlando Premium Outlets. In addition to the many dining and accommodation stops along the route, it also stops at Pointe Orlando, the Orange County Convention Center, SeaWorld Adventure Park Orlando and Aquatica.

 

The Green Line begins service in the Major Blvd. area and encompasses Kirkman Road and Universal Blvd., then shadows the Main Line route as it continues service down to Orlando Premium Outlets with stops that include Wet ‘n Wild, Pointe Orlando, the new Point Orlando Resort and the newly renovated Westgate Palace Resort, the Orange County Convention Center and Sea World Adventure Park Orlando.

 

This prototype destination transportation system began in 1997 and has logged more than 17.5 million trips since that time. It provides a comfortable, efficient and cost effective way of allowing visitors to park their cars and enjoy their experience on I-Drive.

 

I-Drive area visitors also utilize the Trolley stop marker system. It is easy to navigate with this unique user-friendly marker system that assists pedestrians and drivers looking for a specific destination. When used in conjunction with the I-Ride Trolley route map, the oversized marker signs on both sides of the road make for easy navigation.
