No lectures, please
. We are a family of 6 who (for reasons with which I will not bore you) have one day at US/IOA--and it's a Saturday to boot.
*we're not staying on-site
*3 of my 4 children (ages 7-11) are not thrill riders
*we'll be there in early December on a Saturday
*we purchased the one day two park pass (I said no lectures)
I was thinking we'd ride Spiderman first, but after lurking the boards, am now thinking the following:
Hit the Biggies for US first--
1. Arrive early. Ride Shrek.
2. Jimmy Neutron
3. Terminator 2
4. Hoof it over to MIB & Back to the Future
5. Hit Jaws and Earthquake
Then head over to IOA for Spiderman.
After that I figure we'll just be happy to get to whatever we get to. We might have to split up so our thrill rider and DH can enjoy the coasters.
Besides the fact that we are certifiably insane, can we do it or will we be in prohibitively long lines? It sounds like the Express system maybe changed several more times before we go, so I'm not factoring that in yet except for hoping we can secure at least one Express Time for something! I am also hoping that at that time of year (BETWEEN holidays), the crowds will be managable.
