Help in ride order for US/IOA

[wakica]

Here is our list of what we would like to do, just not sure on the order. Is there a TGM for US/IOA?
oh ya, 1 day at each location.

US:
Twister
Jaws
Shrek 4D
Jimmy Neutron
ET
Woody Woodpecker coaster
Animal Actors
Curious George play area (dd is 9 but loves CG) so just a short time
Fievels playground?? Not too sure on this one, 9 too old?
Earthquake too possibly.

IOA:
Hulk OR Duelling Dragons (DH only and just one of em)
Dr. Doom fearfall
Jurasic Park River Adventure
Rip Saw Falls
Bilge Rat Barge
8th Voyage of Simbad
Poseidens Fury

possibly:
Seuss trolley train, cat in hat, 1 fish 2 fish, if I ran zoo or me ship olive play areas unless these are too babyish for dd9.

Any imput is appreciated.

Hi a good tip is the start at the back of the park first. I would do ET than Men in Black(not on your list but a great ride!) than Jaws, etc. Twister is a standing ride so a lot of people fit into the studio, so there isn't a long wait time.(do this last).

IOA:
Spiderman is not on your list but it's such a great ride you have to go on it.
Also make it your first ride as it gets busy!
Rip saw falls and jurasic park are water rides so you will get wet. Do them at the end.
Seauss trolley is so pretty and cute. Do the cat in the hat as well.

Hope this helps! Anymore questions just ask!

As stated before, Spiderman is a must for anyone visiting IOA.

IOA: Perhaps the best plan for this is to begin with going toward the left towards Marvel Action Hero Island. The entire crowd typically goes this way (since most don't look to go directly to Seuss Landing). Since the entire park is really a huge circle, I would just say to follow the entire park around.

US: The first attraction to hit is definately Shrek 4-D. For anyone who has seen a shrek movie, this show/ride is absolutely adorable and entertaining. Not to mention, this attraction usually turns into a 1-2 hour wait simply because everyone's kids knows who Shrek is. From there, I'd head over to the Mummy, and continue on from there.

Yes you have to do Shrek 4-D first. We don't personally don't like to do it first, but it is a very long wait if you don't hit the first show of the day.But here's what the ride order should be for you.

US
1.Shrek 4-D
2.Jimmy Neutron
3.Twister
4. EarthQuake(you should try ROTM)
5.JAWS
6.Animal Actors(but before the show, you should go over to MIB and do that)
7.ET

I'm not sure about all of the palyground areas, since my children are teenagers

At IOA you should go to the left of course and just go around in a circle. There are just three rides that you need to hit in order to miss all of the big crowds.

And between HULK and DD He should choose HULK unless he wants a headache.

As soon as the park opens go straight to HULK, then go to Spiderman, then finally hit up Dr. Dooms FearFall. We do that same order every year and we always get front row on Hulk and we miss the big crowds


Hope this helps

In IOA we always start of to the right towards Suess Landing just b/c if you go to the left ur gonna get long waits b/c everyone starts off to the left. Then we just follow the circle all the way around.

In Universal we normally start off with Shrek 4-D and then we do The Mummy and then we do Jaws then MIB and then we go to the kids section and ride ET and Woody Woodpeckers rollercoaster ride and then we go and ride Terminator 3-D and then we finish off with Twister.

If we were doing both parks the same day we normally do Universal Studios first thing early in the morning when the park just opens and we just ride the main rides that we like from that park (which are the rides mentioned above) and then we head over to IOA just b/c we like to spend more time at IOA and like the theming to it better and the rides of course just b/c were coaster fans, plus we love to eat at Mythos and at Captain America's so we normally spend the whole day there and end up at Enchanted Oak Tavern for Happy Hr normally at 3:00pm.=0)
