?Both parks or one

[Tigger7570]

Hi:
DH and I haven't been to Universal since second park opened. Thinking about going this trip. Since neither of us do the roller coasters, would be better off just doing the one park or is there a lot for us to see in both parks without doing roller coasters. Any help would be great. Thanks.

IOA actually has only 4 coasters, and two of them are combined into one attraction.

1. the hulk
2. flying unicorn (which is a kid's coaster)
3. dueling dragons (the two coasters that well, duel)

so take those 3 out of the mix and you still have 5 islands, the port of entry, and a full day of things to explore.

Thank you for the reply. Have another question for you. Should we plan two full days - one for each park? Thanks again.

definately one day per park. if you get the 2 day 2 park tickets online, you can choose an option for 3 additional days free. so you would get 5 consecutive days at both parks for $99.95 each, and you can park hop, it's a great deal.

Definitely plan 1 day for each park, there is a lot to explore in both parks even without going on the rides. I could spend 1/2 a day in the Jurassic Park area alone!

But yes, there's many attractions besides the few rollercoasters there.

If you are only going for one day, 1 park would suffice. More than one day and you really should see both.

Thank you for all the great replies. We'll definitely plan for at least two days and I am going to check on on-line price for $99. That sounds great.
