USF & IOA in 1 day?

[Mickeyslittlehelper]

Is it possible to visit both parks, see the top rides, and get some shopping in, in one full day? It is a visit for 2 first timers. (but have been to USH many times). Any info and tips would be great.

Thanks

I would say no. You'll want to do Mummy a few times and a few of the shows as well as all the normal rides. Horror Make-up show and Ghostbuster shows are not to be missed (did you catch that Fly fly????????? )

I did it once and I don't think I'd really do it again until I've been there a few more times. It was my second time there for both parks and I still felt like I rushed too much and still didn't get to see/do everything. Like I said, this was my second visit to both parks so I definitely wouldn't recommend it with it being your first.

You can do it if you don't care about seeing every attraction at USF. Arrive to IOA first thing in the morning at 8am before they open, first to the gate. Go left for a front seat ride on Hulk, then Spiderman, and Dr. Doom. You can either continue to the water rides, or go the other way to Dueling Dragons in the back of the park. You'll be done with IOA around 1pm or so and the crowds will have arrived.
Now head over to USF and check the wait board. MIB has a single rider line.

With FOTL, I practically did it comfortably... We did it over two days, but only went for a few hours both mornings... I sat at the pool in the afternoons =)

I wouldn't attempt it without FOTL, honestly. It was AWESOME.

How about MIB? I like your Defender sticker.

I rode in the front of the car with 2 ladies Saturday. They were in there 40s. The black lady next to me had been there several times and her white friend was a MIB virgin. The white lady scored 14K and the black lady managed 54K. The black lady was as excited as a 6 year old when the car got Galaxy Defender and told her friend it was the first time. She looked over at my score and said "Oh, I see why we got Defender."

We rode MIB so many times! But I think that most people only ride it once. We cannot figure that out. We just keep going round and round until either the line is too long (like on Saturday when we had about a 20 minute wait in single riders) or I'm starting to feel nauseous.

I love riding with MIB virgins. I rode with this group of hot shot young men who were killing themselves laughing at the end that I had blasted them all so badly. They suggested I join the military. I didn't tell them that I was Canadian

Its addictive. My son told me this morning that he did a paper on MIB for the English exam. Check your PM's.
