Is this do-able?

[AwaitingTheMagic]

Ok, so I just looked up IOA rides and I made a list of must-sees:

Super Hero Island:
Amazing Adventures of Superman
Incredible Hulk Coaster

Toon Lagoon:
Ripsaw Falls
Popeye and Bluto's Barges

Jurrassic Park:
River Adventure

Lost Continent:
Dueling Dragons (looks SO scary!)

Can I do this in a day? I am going end of May/early june. I am VERY excited that IOA offers so many water rides, as those are my favorite! In which order would YOU ride these rides??

I have never been so am looking forward to some of you experts

It is doable...and I assume you are NOT staying onsite?? You want to ride Hulk first (front seat if you can). Then Spiderman (not Superman) Then ride DD (both). Backtrack through JP back to Toon Lagoon. You want to be there when the park opens tho.

Ok, I'm back haha..I just did US now:

Production 3D:
Shrek 4D

New York:
Mummy
Twister

Hollywood:
Terminator 2

World Expo:
MIB
Back to the Future

San Fran:
Jaws

Same question as above! I'm worried about crowds. Don't mind waiting 90 mins though, I mean it's expected at such a popular place (obviously would love to wait for a shorter period! haha).

One last question...Am I missing any great rides? I am looking for thrill, but even if there is a tamer ride that you love that I am forgetting, let me know!

 

[AwaitingTheMagic]

wow, thanks for that quick reply...amazing! Thanks for the suggestion!

And you are right...we are staying in a condo...so I heard of this Front of the line stuff I could purchase. Would you suggest that? So much money, but if it is worth it I would definetly go for it!

 

[AwaitingTheMagic]

oops, as if I said Superman...

As much as I'm excited for Disney since I've always wanted to go there...I'm most looking forward to IOA/US rides...they look AMAZING!

Yes you can do it all in one day, need to be quite focused though!! Aword of warning, you get VERY VERY WET on Bilge Rat Barges - I took us about 2 hours for the drips to stop, never mind drying out!

 

[AwaitingTheMagic]

oh, really?! hmmm maybe I will wear a poncho! Although it would be refreshing on a hot day, I don't know if I want to be SOAKED...This probably isn't allowed but...I wouldn't walk around the park in a bathing suit top...but what if just for the ride i did that and put my shirt on after the ride...do ppl do that? lol

 

[bubba's mom]

AwaitingtheMagic.....when exactly ARE you going??

 

[bubba's mom]

You can BUY an Express Pass, but it will only give you express access one time for each ride. IOurHO on the boards, one night onsite is the best bet. You will use your room key to gain FOTL access for 2 days (day of checkin and checkout) as often as you want...you're not limited to one time per ride.

Go early, go to the back of the park (everyone stops in the front for JN and Shrek) ride Mummy and MIB. From MIB, head over to BTTF and then Jaws. Next, around to Terminator and end up at JN and Shrek. Save Twister for last, as it's a "stand up show", not very long and not really a "must see" or "thrill"....Besides, it will let in a lot of people at once.

As for Popeye, yes, you will get soaked, but there is a compartment in the center of the raft to keep your belongings dry. There are also restrooms outside of the exit if you want to change!
