Dubbed the “Theme Park Capital of the World,” Orlando is known for its tourism industry, particularly for its theme parks such as Walt Disney World, Universal Studios Theme Park, and many, many others. Perhaps less known about Orlando is that in recent years it has become quite a hub for the entertainment industries. With Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Universal Studios both having a presence here, Orlando has become a hotspot for filmmaking, and the area’s vibrant music scene has produced such notable acts as Matchbox Twenty, Backstreet Boys and N*Sync.
