2 Parks in 1 day plan - do-able?

[MJ6987]

Hi All,
I have got a 2 Parks 1 Day ticket for Universal plus Express pass - Going beginnng of November (a while yet, I know). I will be on my own (adult male) so can use single rider lines as well as EP. I will get there before opening and stay until closing. I have been to US before but not IOA.
So, is this do-able, is this the right order (I have tried to do the shortest route from the map given I will be using EP) and is there anything you would add / take away.

IOA:
HP Forbidden Journey
Dragon's Challenge
Spiderman
Hulk
Dr Doom
Maybe Spiderman again if Single Rider line is short
Dudley Ripsaw falls
Jurassic River Adventure
Poseidon's Fury
Cat in the Hat

US
Hollywood RRR
Twister
Mummy
Disaster
Jaws
MIB
Simpsons
ET
Horror make up show (if time)
Terminator
Shrek 4D (if time)

Thanks for your help,
Matthew

I think you may need to leave a few out. My suggestions are Poseidan's Fury and Twister which both are quite long. You might also want to leave out the water rides since it might be too cool and you don't want to be wet for the rest of the day.

Parks are probably only open 'til 6 so time is limited.

Thanks Damo - I'll make a note. I ruled out the Popeye ride as I read that you get really wet but I thought the Jurassic one is meant to be OK and that the Dudley one is OK with a poncho?

You can still get really wet on both of those. We've been totally dry on Jurassic and totally soaked.

Dudley is kind of a crap shoot too. You just never know.

I agree. I really don't think Twister is worth the time it takes, either. Don't sit behind a short person on the water rides--it seems like that's when you get soaked!

Since you've never been to IOA--you may not be able to drag yourself away! It's an awesome park!

I think you're plan is do-able. The express lines were super fast when we were there last weekend! (But the park was really slow in general.)

I'm going in October and will be doing the 2 parks in one day also. Which park is best to start the day in, US or IOA?

With WWOHP being open I would start with IOA and go over and ride FJ first. The lines for FJ and RRR are going to fill up fast, and if there is still no express line open those lines will get pretty long.

It is definately doable if you are willing to leave out a couple of things. We did it last year with small children (during the mardi gras weekend thing) and included the long rides like twister and the backlot tour or whatever it is. We also bought the pass that skips you ahead of people though - whatever that is called.
(oh nevermind, i see you said you were getting the pass-yes you can definately do it - maybe even everything)

I agree...get WWoHP over with as early as possible.
