LOS ANGELES -- Tourists visiting Universal Studios' Islands of Adventure theme park in Orlando, Fla., can check their e-mail at any of five kiosks to be installed there. America Online has teamed up with Universal Studios to form a marketing alliance to provide Internet service for park visitors via the kiosks, which will be installed soon, according to a news report. Other parks may receive the service in the future besides the one in Orlando. Besides e-mail service, AOL members can browse other online content on the kiosks. They can also search for additional travel information and view products offered by Universal. In exchange for providing the kiosks, AOL plans to promote Universal's parks and products to its nearly 18 million subscribers.
