Controversial Topics Several months ago, I added a private sub-forum to allow members to discuss these topics without fear of infractions or banning. It's opt-in, opt-out. Corey Click Here
I don't know if they are still doing this, but when we were there,when you bought a two day pass there was a third day free at IOA and UO. Sea World would allow you back in the park the next day free too if you stopped by a window and got a second day pass. That way you could do all parks as...
We were not sure about the priority seating in City Walk. We got to Margaritaville about 9:30 and there were about 8 people in line to get their beepers. We were not sure if we were suppose to wait or just ask the girl. We waited to get to the girl and she told us the wait for a non-smoking...
We were there 8/2-8/5 (Thursday-Sunday) Did SWO Thursday and part of Friday. We then hit IOA/US in late afternoon and evening. I went back and forth all three days. Stayed at PBH so we had all day express pass. Don't forget you get better seats at shows if you show your room key. I forgot...
You can get a new entertainment book for 2002 from the internet if you can't find one in your hometown. Check this site for entertainment rate sites.. I ordered a book only 2 months from the time we went. It has more than paid for itself in restaurants and activities in my home town plus all...
If you are a thrill ride person, and are staying at PBH or HRH, on Sunday, you get in Universal early. I was there in August and I did BTF 2x and then MIB 3x, then ET then headed over to IOA and did DD 4x, DR Doom 2x, Spidey 3x, Hulk 5x and that was all before noon. Then you can relax and do...
With the express line available at all the great rides, you will not have a problem riding everything as many times as you want. If the express line is longer than 10 minutes(the attendants will tell you if you ask), then ask about the single rider line especially at MIB at US. DH and I rode...
You will love it. We were there 8/2-8/5 and the PBH room key which is same as HRH. In the afternoons when lines for Spiderman wer 80 minutes long, we were able to zoom through without a wait at all so of course we rode it 6 times in a row.
For MIB, if the express line is long(15 minutes or...
Tropical storm Barry hit while we were there for five days. We thought it was great coming from Texas and the heat. Since you are having a heat wave in NY you will welcome the rain also. They sell these great ponchos at both parks for about $5. If you wear glasses take a visor or hat so you...
SWO gets my vote. It is by far my favorite theme/amusement park in the country. If you love animals, the exhibits/shows at SWO can't be beat. If you like coasters, you can ride Kraken, floorless coaster as many times as you want with minimum wait time. Atlantis, water ride/coaster ride is...
I just tried again today 8/8 after 5:30 and it is back working but I have to get to a different link than I was able to use before. I don't know what they did.
I came home yesterday ready to report my adventures at Sea World and Universal and IOA and cannot find the familar board. When I got to one of them, it said the board has been suspended. This looks like the area that the board should be in, but there is no cue for the parks? Help!
Thank you so much for your quick reply. Will plan to take Sea World Shamu ponchos now. We are hitting Sea World Thursday and Friday. Then we will start USO and IOA Friday night through the weekend. I am looking forward to liquid sunshine. Being from Texas and the over 100 degree days, any...
The best is always the first time to see an amusement park. Be sure to notice all of the theming. In the Dueling Dragons area there is a magic show. Be sure to listen to the rock area in front of the entrance. You need to walk slowly through there. The Suess Section will make you feel 6...
I checked the weather for the next few days 8-2 through 8-5 and it says a tropical storm is going to settle over Orlando. What are the weather folks in that area saying?
Wish my DH would read this thread. He too has the same fear and I have ridden two times with him and it was not fun. I was too worried about him to enjoy myself.
It is the best place in the parks to see everything and get a perspective of how large the parks are. If you ride them at night...
Can you see the fireworks from Bay View Room at PBH?
If you are in the parks, where is the best place to view them and what time do they start? Which park has the best?
He has a beautiful voice if you have never heard of him before. He was the Phantom in the Phantom of the Opera for years on Broadway. He has an incredible range. I will be at IOA and US next week and will listen to see if I can hear it anywhere.
Yes I did. I had back surgery 6 months before I rode DD. I talked to my neurosurgeon and told him where I was going and that I would love to ride roller coaster again. He told me there was nothing to prevent me from riding them as many times as I wanted because I was repaired.
So boy, I...
