First time to IOA tomorrow, must-sees?

[CheezDoodle]

Hi everybody! Tomorrow is my first time to IOA/US, and I was just wondering what some of the must-sees are? We will only be there for a day (this trip)and we will be pass holders at the time if that makes any difference. Oh, and is there a place I can go to see a list of height restrictions?

Thanks, Megan

w/o kids start at IOA be there before opening go directly to Hulk ride 2X then Spiderman, then River Adventure, then Fire and Ice. After that, you can double back and ride Ripsaw falls and Bluto's Bilge Rats if you want to get wet or head out and go to US. At US get fast-pass (can't remember what they call them at Universal) for Mummy and get in line for Shrek, then work your way around the lake seeing/doing whatever looks good. I personally dont like the Back to the Future ride, long lines and rough ride. Use single rider lines if possible at Mummy, Men In Black they will save a ton of time if you dont mind not being with your party during the ride.

W/ young kids we do the same thing, only stop and ride One fish and Cat in the Hat at IOA. We also go to the Barney show, play area and ET at US. If some of your party dont like the big rides, send the younger ones with them and have them go directly to the Suess area and let them go wild.

I would go to the Mardi Gras Parade and see Creedence Clearwater Revisited
in concert.

Will they be there tomorrow? Oh, Mortimer, the only reason I wanted to know height restrictions is because I'm only ten! I'm going with my mom and dad. Personally, I don't care if I miss Seuss Landing; It's just that the carousel is the only thing my mom will ride!

Are you a gutsy 10? Then IOA first at opening, Dueling Dragons a few times and then on to the HUlk for a few times and then Spiderman (my fav) and Dr Dooms Fearfall. When you get to the Hulk, you may want to get a fast pass here for either the Hulk or Spidey. We do the water rides if its nice out but mornings can be cooler but like Jurassic Park River Adventure. If your timing is good, The Voyage of Sinbad is a fun show to watch. Then head over to USF.

I agree, get a fast pass for The Mummy and line up for Shrek. AFter those, fast pass to MIB and go on Back to the Future, Jaws, Twister, Earthquake and Jimy Neutron. The rest is up to you. You'd probably enjoy Terminator 3 as well.
