Touring Plan for IOA

[leannej613]

Is there a website to get a FREE sample Touring Plan to do IOA in one day? Every site I have seen wants a subscription/payment.

I have a list of the rides that are a must, but need to determine the best order to do everything in

I don't know about a website but I am here right now and our plan is to get to Harry Potter's Fantastic Journey first thing, as early in the day as possible. We've been walking right on first thing in the morning. ROde it 3 times in a row, went back about 4 and it was down.

Depending on when you plan on going, a touring plan may not be necessary.

I'll give you one for free though:

1. Go directly to WWoHP at park open and do what you like there.
2. Flip a coin.
3. If heads, go clockwise around the lake (towards Seuss Landing from WWoHP), hitting everything that appeals to you.
4. If tails, go counterclockwise around the lake (towards Jurassic Park from WWoHP), hitting everything that appeals to you.

I never found the free ones on a website but I found them in the unofficial guide book I bought at Barnes & Noble. It's actually a Disney World book that covers Universal as well. They had some good tips in them like phone numbers, websites, etc as well. Other than that most of the best advice I got was on here! Universal has signs around the park that posts wait times and there a couple apps you can download on your phone for free that tell you wait times as well. That is how we did it one trip when we did not have express pass. We never used their plan since we went during a slow time.

The one day touring plan in my book says to go in this order.

1. Forbidden Journey
2. Dragon Challenge (unless 30 min or more)
3. Incredible Hulk
4. Spiderman (unless wait is over 25 min)
5. Dr. Doom
6. Bluto's Barges (you get SOAKED!)
7. Ripsaw Falls (very wet)
8. Jurassic Park River Adventure (pretty wet)
9. Poseidon's Fury
10. The Cat in the Hat
11. Eighth Voyage of Sindbad
12. Go to wizarding world and experience Hogsmeade
13. If you have time, revisit attractions that were missed

My personal experience tips for a one day only trips are to go when it opens, stay til close, do HP first, and ride the ones you want to ride. We have never done Sindbad and only do Bluto's if we know we have a change of clothes or will go back to hotel.

Hope that helps!

I would skip Dragon Challenge until later personally. We've never seen it with much of a line. I would do Ollivanders first thing if that is important to you. Then Forbidden Journey and then Spiderman and the Hulk.

If you like Dr Seuss, there's a cute train ride that goes above the land too. It is a slow loader so it can take some time too.

Thank you sooo much! At least we have an idea of what we need to do first! I really appreciate all of your help!
