IOA?USF this weekend. Need info, please.

We haven't gone to the parks for a good year but just got annual passes. I think we'll hit USF first. Is 9:00 am early enough? Also, are there any attractions closed for rehab? I tried to do a search on this but got a " mods have closed the search function" message. Thanks for any advice you can give.

The gates usually open 15-30 minutes early. I would be there by 8:30 or 8:45.

For current news on ride closures, you can always check:
http://www.ioacentral.com and click on "refurbishment schedule."

Right now the only thing closed is:

Islands of Adventure

* Triceratops Discovery Trail is permanently closed.

Universal Studios Florida

* The Wild Wild Wild West Stunt Show permanently closed on September 1, 2003.

Thank you so much. That's just what I needed to know.

You're welcome. Enjoy your trip!

Parking garage opens at 8am.
Park officially opens at 9am, but they do open 15 minutes early during the summer, but don't tell anyone. It's a very good idea to arrive the parking garage at 8am, and be first in line at the gate.
USF - Do Shrek first, then the Mummy.
IOA - Do Hulk in the front row, Spiderman, Dr. Doom.
