Everything walk-on today!

Went to Isle of Adventure today. Got to the park around 10:00am. Every ride in the park was a walk-on. I don't think I waited in any line. All rides were listed at 5 minutes. Walked over to Univeral Studios around 4:00pm. Didn't get to do much getting over there so late, and the park closed at 6:00pm. HR3 had a 20 minute wait posted, and that was probably pretty accurate. It's the only ride I had to wait for all day. I think its the best roller coaster I've ever ridden!

It will be that way right up until Thanksgiving week, where it will start getting more crowded every day. Then it will die down again until Christmas. That is SOP for all the Orlando attractions.

Sounds like it's just about time for a weekday RRR marathon (if it ever gets running steadily again). As of right now (according to the online ride times) it appears to be down again.

I did not see RRR running on Thursday, but today it was going. Went by it today, and it showed a 60 minute wait. I did not ride it today. Park was quite a bit more crowded on Thursday than I'd seen it all week. But, we only spent a half day there, before heading to Disney for the Christamas party. Today was better than yesterday. The only things I saw with any type of wait was Men In Black (40 min) and HRRR (60 min). Everything else I rode was walk-on, or close. We bounced between both parks riding everything we wanted to do again on our last day.

When I called guest relations to ask a couple of questions...I also asked if they day before was crowded, and the woman said "extremely" I started to freak a bit....but then everything I have read over here says not crowded. So I hope you are all right

I'm hoping we luck out, like you have, when we visit in January. We certainly shave the cost of Express Passes! :D
