It's just some of the "kiddie" rides like One Fish, Two Fish, Pterdon (sp?) Flyers, Fievel's water ride and I think that's it! It also isn't for the front seat lines for the coasters.

One Fish, Two Fish used to have the FOTL. Has that changed?

Pteranodon Flyers is the one you wanna get to first if you wanna do everything. Get to the gate early at 08:30am.
You can go on Hulk (get your front seat ride), Spiderman (walkon), and Dr. Doom (5 min) when the park opens at 09:00am. But then head over to Pteranodon Flyers and get your ride. They let adults on without kids until the line reaches a certain point. But it fills up fast, so you gotta be there early. Then if you want, head over to Deuling Dragons and the wait for the front seat should be short. By the time you do these, it will be about 10am, and then the crowd will hit. It's a short window of opportunity, but can be done.

I realize you're staying onsite, but getting there early gets you that front seat ride on Hulk, and short waits for the front of Deuling Dragons, well worth it.
The next day you go, do Hulk, Spiderman, Dr. Doom then head back to Deuling dragons, and you'll get many front seat rides.

Definately wait in the 1st row line for dueling dragons, it is a totally different experience.....

One fish two fish does have an express line, it over by the cat in the hat!!

Robvia, thanks for the tips. We'll do exacty what you suggested. We'll be there with our 4 kids, ages 3-15, and there isn't any ride that we skip, so we have to plan our time a little, even with FOTL.

The first seat on Dueling Dragons is awesome--you can really see what is happening and really realize the "near miss" with the other coaster. How many front row seats are there on DD and Hulk? I know quite a few on DD, but can't remember much about the Hulk first row.

There are 4 seats in the front row of both dragons and Hulk. You can still get a front row seat using express, you're just subjected to waiting in the front row line. That works on DD only, as their express line intersects with the regular line just before the choose your dragon spot.

The Marvel blitz followed by Pteranadon might run into a bit of a speedbump. The last few times I've gone to IOA Camp Jurassic (and the Flyers) hasn't opened at 9am with the rest of the park. I forget if it's 10am or 11am, but check on that either way.

As for the front of DD, I'm all for waiting for the front seat on Ice. The near-miss with the castle wall is incredible. But for Fire? The near-misses with Ice aren't all that close and they're actually more a surprise from deep in the train and, personally, you feel the ride more in the back.

Delayed opening for the back of the park was 10am. That actually made things even better for the Deuling Dragons rides. I did the Marvel thing, went to the bridge leading to The Lost Continent, waited, slowly moved to the front of the gate, they opened it, and I literally ran to Deuling Dragons where I rode Fire in the front seat and was the only one on the train. Now that was some ride, no screaming, it was completely quiet. Got a few more front seat rides before people finally made their way into the queue.

Anyway, I think delayed opening is over. Last week Orlando was on Spring break, this week it's Tampa, and mid April is most colleges and South Florida schools.
