Tour groups can be seen from Jan 1-Dec 31. January, July, September, and November are the most common, though. Also, the one with the flag usually speaks the best English. Many of the kids are trying/learning English, so they can be worked with/talked to. Their energy level is a bit high, but...

Hurricanes are 2-for-1 on Tuesdays...:upsidedow

September is still hot, so they will be open. Rehabs are always done in the winter, as the ridership is lower, as is the temperature. Well, the temperature is usually lower. The 75F temps are a little high for Jan/Feb.

Transformers may have express after the grand opening; most rides do.

Spiderman, Sky Trolley, and Disaster could all be considered "maybes" Spider-Man has a lapbar, has some mild spinning and shaking/jostling, but is not that violent overall. Sky Trolley has a lapbar, but it's not even a fast ride. Disaster, the ride part shakes and jostles you, and...

Ripsaw? Just make sure to treat the ride like a slide/bobsled. Sit in the 2nd, 3rd, or 4th seat, stretch your legs forward, and literally SLIDE in. :cool2: Bent knees ruin everything and make people feel like they can't fit. Most people can fit. Also, only bring the lapbar down so it's touching...

Ripsaw Falls rehab has been pushed back. Approx Feb 9-March 3.

The ride cannot stop during the coaster section. It has to stop you in one of the brake zones. If you begin to backwards drop, you'll continue to the turntable. If you clear the launch, you'll stop at the fake unload. If you make it down the big drop, you'll stop after the big Medjai symbol...

Friday and Saturday are both crushingly packed days. They're like that every year. And the running gag is: Confused Person: "I thought everyone would be shopping". TM/CM: "You and 28,000 others thought that way..." :rolleyes1

The warnings are real, the curse is real, the mummies are real. HOLD ON TO YOUR SOUL! :scared1::scared1::scared1:

Rockit does NOT go upside down.

Not sure of prices or keychains, but the rides with on-ride photos are as follows: IOA: Hulk Ripsaw Falls Jurassic Park River Adventure Forbidden Journey USF: Rip Ride Rockit Revenge of the Mummy MIB

There is ONE designated scare zone: at the end of Disaster, where the zombies are. The whole park is a scare zone. You never know where/when one of the roaming hordes will show up.

Indeed, this. Sometimes express lines can be over 30 mins! Keep in mind that the regular line would probably be 90-120 mins when this happens... And OP, you'll definitely want to take advantage of the early entry.

After the dragon spits breath at you, the spider sequence begins. When you hear Hermione say the phrase "watch out for the whomping willow!" that's your safe phrase. Open your eyes after you hear "willow" and you should be seeing a huge tree...

I was so impressed by the room where it looked like you were above the pews, that I didn't see the gargoyle at the end of the path! He got me, though! :rotfl:

Good plan!

Definitely take advantage of the early entry. The Express you get from staying onsite is valid at all the rides except 3: Forbidden Journey, Rip Ride Rockit, and Pteranadon Flyers.

Dead End was a good house, and I got the best scare of the night in there. One of the mirror girls got me good... Gothic is a must see. The quality of the costumes and the set detail are amazing! There are even TWO flying gargoyles!

Disaster might be okay for you. It's 95% show, with only the ride being at the end, where you board a subway train and then experience an earthquake. Lots of bumping, some intense effects, but they don't last too long. The end of the ride makes it worth it, though. :cool2: Also, you can skip...
