The only rides that i've rode at USF were the E.T. Adventure ride and the Jaws ride.

The Blue Man Group uses one of the soundstages, while most of the former Nickelodeon Studios (including most of the soundstages) is derelict. The last game show filmed in there was My Family's Got GUTS! Most of the Nickelodeon murals are still up inside the building, while the outside was painted white, one of the soundstages was turned into the Sharp Aquos Theatre featuring the Blue Man Group attraction.

Here's a picture of the Dueling Dragons roller coaster at Islands of Adventure back when they dueled and before it was rethemed around Harry Potter!

Sad to see this one of kind roller coaster get sent to scrapyard, but it hadn't duel since they rethemed it around Harry Potter.

From what I've heard that all of the Nickelodeon stuff inside the former Nick Studios is gone, even the escalator to discourage people from breaking and entering in there, so the only thing that remains of Nickelodeon Studios at Universal Studios is the Green Slime tile in the bathroom.   :(
