How can I ride Pteranodon?

[lovethemagic]

I'm planning to visit IOA for one day as an add on to a business trip (no kids) and I'm dying to ride the Pteranodon Flyers. Any ideas on how I could get on? My family visited IOA when it was brand new (before the w/kid restriction for PF) and it was my absolute favorite thing in the park.

Welcome aboard.

It's actually easy to ride. Show up early and they wave the kid rule until a line forms. The parking garage opens at 8am. Get to the IOA gate and wait at the front. You'll be first into the park. You can get a front seat ride on Hulk, ride Spiderman, Dr. Doom, and then head back to PF. If it's the weekend then you may want to walk straight there after riding Hulk once.

On one of my visits last year, I got three rides in a row without getting out of my seat. It's a really great ride when you don't have to wait. Here's the POV page of my ride.

After riding PF, head back to Deuling Dragons for a front seat ride on each side, and then you can back track for JPRA.
