Express for Dragons Challenge and general ? for WWOHP

[Bluer101]

I have not been to IOA since they opened WWOHP due to an injury.

Question 1:

The last time we were there the lines for Dueling Dragons were all messed up from the Jurassic Park side. Also ever since express was implemented Dueling Dragons would have the express line merge way before you get on the ride. Did they ever change this?

Question 2:

When its real busy at WWOHP I heard they hand out passes to come back. Now since they do not let you in from either side of WWOHP land is the temporary bridge still there to bypass or do you have to walk all the way back around? We always circle the park and it would stink if you get back there from Jurassic side then have to walk all the way around, to do Sinbad show or Poseidon's Fury.

The queue for Dragon Challenge is long with a lot of theming, but the actual number of people waiting outside of the immediate loading area was generally pretty minimal while we were there (President's week), even though the park was very busy. The Express Line splits inside the main ride building, near the Goblet of Fire--and then it merges again just before you choose which side (red or blue) you want to ride. I'd never ridden it when it was Dueling Dragons, so I can't comment on how it is currently different.

We had the express plus passes and the kids were able to get in 7 rides spread out over 2-3 hours (ride, then shop, then ride, etc).

There is still a walkway/bridge from Jurassic Park to the back of Mythos, connecting JP to the Lost Continent in case you need to avoid WWoHP.

Hope that helps!

As the PP mentioned, the bridge right before entering WWoHP (like across from the talking fountain and near the "carnival" games) is still open, so you can cut through. However, if you want to enter WWoHP with your return-time ticket, the only way in is the main entrance near the train.

The Express line ,unless they changed it since last July, is still the same, as when it was DDs.
Hope you are feeling better, and enjoy your long awaited trip

Thanks, I was hoping they changed it with the WWOHP makeover.
