Favorite attractions (besides HP)

[Reese D]

What are your favorite attractions at Universal or IoA besides HP?
We are planning to do the HP attractions, but what else is "can't miss"?

My favourite..the Mummy also Spiderman, Jurassic Park, Rip Ride Rock it, the water rides at IOA (you will get soaked), Men in Black, Transformers, and Horror Makeup Show in US and Raptor Encounter at IOA just to name a few...oh I forgot the Simpson's area.

Revenge of the Mummy is my favorite attraction, hands-down. I love it even more than all of the HP attractions. Seriously.

I just love the Horror Makeup Show. It's a must-do a couple times a trip.

Minions. First and last ride of my trip. I cried the first time we did it. We are a family born of adoption.

Studios...........RRR, Mummy, DM, Horror Make Up Show, ET and Character meets.

IOA...........Port of Entry......just so well themed, Hulk, Duelling Dragons, Jurassic Park and Character meets

Almost everything actually.........hard to choose just a few..........Both Potter areas are stunning though.......

Mummy , Spiderman, Jurassic Park ,Minions

Spiderman/Transformers. Seriously good.

HP lands are hands down the most impressive/immersive, but I love both parks. Even Hogwarts Express is extremely impressive.

Water rides in IOA - yes, you will get SOAKED. Fun to be on, but be aware everything gets soaked so get ready for it

So much to choose from. I didn't get to Minions/Horror Makeup and a few other bits this year, but I'm off back in 2016 for longer (near Halloween) and we WILL do every part of the parks that are open.

Oh, and the Mummy ride is actually pretty damn fast. It isn't a wild rollercoaster, but it is very fast. Cool ride and well themed.

The only dated ride we did in Oct '15 was Twister, which has now shut anyway. Just too short....not as good as I remember it 10 years back.

PS Simpsons and the whole area is fantastic. My partner loved Transformers, Mummy and Jurassic Park, as well as HP.
