We had a great visit to IOA/US today! We had spent a day here last Sunday and it wasn't bad but had heard earlier in the week about the crazy crowds so was expecting disaster today. We are staying offsite and arrived at the gates around 7:30 am for the 8am IOA offsite opening. We were surprised that it was already open to all guests (only WWoHP was open). We rushed back to FJ and found a 45 minute wait. We had been on the ride last Sunday so had already seen the queue and decided to go single as it was only a 5 minute wait. We were able to get on it twice going single before we had to head over to US. By the time we got off from our second ride, it was already at 75 minutes (this was about 8:15 am)! Headed over to US and was first in line at a newly opened turnstile. Got in 1st DM show, 2 rides on RRR, MIB, Disaster, Twister, Mummy and Fear Factor. Tried to hit Simpsons or ET on the way out but the wait was 45 minutes. DM was at 100 minutes! Crowds were pouring in at 2 pm.
Moral to the story - get there early and you will have a great day!!!
