Rain, how does it effect crowds at IOA?

We will be at trying to go to IOA/Universal the week before Easter, seeing a rainy day Sat. April 16, will the crowd be less or no different during rainy days? Thanks!

On rainy days it is normally less crowded. If its a chance of rain but not raining, then the crowds will still be there.

I love it when it rains at the parks! We were at Universal Studios just this week and it poured. We had the Universal Express, but did not use it. We walked on every ride. The Hollywood Rip Ride and RockIt is normally a 60-90 minute wait and it was 10 minutes (during Spring Break). It was awesome!

If it rains...go play!

Rain makes the water rides wetter (lightning in the area will shut down all outside rides, though), and turns all the other rides into "wet" rides. Hulk, Doom and Rockit can be painful in the rain.

Heavy rain can shut down the Hulk.

Crowds will be a lot lighter, but all the inside rides will be more packed. Also, IOA will generally be less crowded than USF when it rains.
