Can this 2 park plan be done in 1 day?

[HETRICKL]

These are the things we'd like to do at both parks. I'm wondering if this can all be done in 1 day or is it more like 1.5? I'm willing to skip some of the 'maybe' items if it's closer to 1 day. We are going 11/29, Thursday after Thanksgiving. Thanks!!
USF:
ET
Men In Black
Jaws
Disaster (maybe)
Revenge of Mummy (maybe)
Twister (maybe)
Shrek
Term 2D
Woodpecker (maybe)
Fear FactorShow
Horrow Make up Show

IOA:
Olivanders
Flight of Hippogriff
Castle Tour
Pteranonden Flyers
Jurassic Park River
Suess park - can skip altogether if it makes 1 day
Ripsaw FAlls
Popeye
Poseidons Fury
Sinbad

Also, does this look about in the right order? Which park should I do first?
Thanks so much!

you can scratch jaws off that list it closed for good earlier this year

I also suggest you do Despicable Me, The Simpsons Rise, and forbidden journey which in my opinion the best ride in the park.

 

[HETRICKL]

Thanks for the info on Jaws. I also heard Fear Factor live is only seasonal, so that probably eliminates that as well.

Thanks for the suggestion on the other rides. However, our family has problems with motion sickness, especially with simulator rides which is why we left those off.

Anyone have any idea if our list is doable in one day?

 

[HETRICKL]

Can anyone review my 2 park plan and see if you think it's feasible to do in one day? Thanks.

I think you could do it but it will be a real full day. I also heavily suggest you do Forbidden Journey as well as the Amazing Spiderman and the Hulk Coster in IOA I would do IOA last as it is open later.

I think it would be very difficult to fit all those shows in at both parks in one day. The shows (and I consider Twister and Disaster to be shows) all take up a lot of time, even if you don't have to wait long. And I found things like Posidon and Sinbad are really hard to walk up to last minute and get in.

I see E.T. is first on your list. One year we went straight back to E.T. at park opening and were disappointed to find the ride wasn't even operating yet!

Most likely you can do this in one day.
Keep in mind, you will have to get up really early, and stay as late as you can. It will be a very full day.
My suggestion would have an extra half day available just in case, you may end up getting there and wanting to do some other things.

Possible.But be aware in slower times of year the shows run only a few times a day and very often at the same time as each other.It makes it hard to see them all in one day

Looks like the hours on that day are 9am - 7pm. That gives you 10 hours. (And actually US closes at 6pm.)
We were just there end of October. Lines for Olivanders were 40 minutes. The line for Pteranonden Flyers is usually about the same, so there goes nearly 2 of your 10 hours. The line for ET was well over 30 minutes, more like 40 and probably one of the longest we stood for. It was a chilly day so Jurrasic was probably only 15-20 minutes, but by the time you walk and ride, there's another 30 minutes.

I think the shows will be your downfall. For many of them it's a set time and you have to be on time, even early to get in. So prior to most shows you end up with wasted time because you don't have enough time to do other rides or shows and still be on time.

If I had just one day I'd figure out my must sees and figure the latest time when I'd switch parks. I'd also add in the new Despicable Me ride and do that first thing. That's what we did a few weeks ago -- we had one day for both parks. We started at US, rode Despicable me and then moved to the left around the park. We concentrated on rides, not shows. Rode Mummy 3 times, rode MIB 3 times, rode Simpsons once (time consuming) rode ET once (long line) and then saw the Horror Makeup show. We ate lunch at Mel's diner. We head over to IoA and ride Spiderman twice, Tower of Doom once, Jurrasic once. Rode Harry Potter twice (once via single rider and once via normal line, maybe 20-30 minutes). Rode the dragon coaster twice, rode Hippogriff twice. Skipped Olivanders because the line was 45 minutes. Ate at 3 broomsticks for dinner and rode Cat in the HAt once. We walked back over to US for the night show and rode Mummy once and then saw the show. It really does not take long to use up those 10 hours. I recommend seeing the HArry Potter area in the evening. It's really pretty.
