OK...I'm going to Orlando in April for a tae kwon do tournament...every time DH and I go, we spend all of our time at WDW...he HATES roller coasters. As much as I loooove WDW, I am soooooooooo excited about going to Universal with my fellow team mates to ride the coasters. Aside from the Hulk, (DUH!), I know nothing about Universal. What are some not to miss coasters???

As far as coasters go, you have got to ride Dueling Dragons! Ride both Fire and Ice, they are awesome! Also, you must ride Revenge of the Mummy!

Even though Universal has a rep of being a coaster park,all they really have are Hulk,Dueling Dragons which technically are 2 different coasters,Revenge of the Mummy,the smaller Flying Unicorn and the Woody Woodpecker kiddie coaster,so they're not a Cedar Point with 13 coasters but the ones they have are really good.Aside from the coasters at IOA I would also suggest riding Spiderman,the 3 water rides at IOA(Popeye,Jurassic park and Dudley Do-Right),and Dr.Doom which is fun but quick.At Universal you have the Classics like Jaws,the renovated Earthquake now called Disaster,Terminator and Shrek are fun interactive 3-D rides,Twister is OK if you've never done it before.Men in Black is an addicting shooting ride in a spinning car,I ride it like 4 or 5 times in a row to better my score.Also the new Simpson's ride will probably be opening around April so you might get lucky.Overall it's 2 great parks but as far as coasters make sure you do the Dragons,Hulk and Mummy.

As Alison and Doom have stated, make sure you ride BOTH Fire and Ice...two different tracks. Hulk is fun and the exit will mess with your balance. ROTM is a lot of fun...great preshow and queue area.
