wait times for rides

[Jenny]

we'll be spending a lot of time doing kid stuff in the parks but would like to get to some adult rides w/ my mom watching the kids. we'd like to do Spiderman, JP River Adventure, Popeye, Ripsaw, & Poseidon's Fury at IOA. Mummy & MIB at USF. can any of these attractions be done in the p.m. while the kids rest in their strollers or are there some that really should be done in the a.m. to avoid lines? we can also try the express system if needed but i wanted to get a feel for which rides out of the ones i listed are the most popular. i'm thinking Spiderman, River Adventure, Mummy & MIB have to be done in the a.m. Is this correct? we're going in mid-may, thurs. to ioa & fri. to usf. thanks.

hi,

you're better off doing them in the am if possible - but w/ kids i know that probably wont work....if you and your husband don't mind for spiderman and mib ( i think mummy too) do the single rider line, then you won't leave mom too long w/ the kids and you can do more things...

I went in Feb and I went in the pm to MIB, Mummy is def need to be in AM.

Let mom take the kids thru Suess Landing while you go on Hulk, Dr. Doom, and Spiderman. There is a play area in that section of the park the kids will spend an hour in. The mom can ride the Carasuel, watch them go on One Fish Two Fish, and walk them thru the line of Cat in the Hat and wait at the exit.
Then head over to the Jurassic Park area and there is another play area. There are benches for the parents to sit on and the kids can only get in one way. In that section of the park, you can go on Ripsaw falls, and JPRA.
In the Lost Continent, they can ride the Flying Unicorn while you go on Deuling Dragons. And they can talk to the fountain while you go thru Posiden's Fury.

For USF, you take them to the Curious George play area with a change of cloths. They'll spend a couple hours in this section getting soaked. It's a long walk from this playground to the Mummy, but it can be done.

Go in the early AM.

i forgot to put Shrek on the USF list b/c that's something we'll all do. if you had to put them in order in the a.m. to avoid long lines - what would it be? Shrek, Mummy, MIB? DH & I will use single rider lines for MIB & Mummy if they have it - good idea joloco - i forgot about that.

Definitely put Shrek on the first things to do list. There is no express line on this ride and it fills up fast! Its very popular and you really don't want to miss it, its a great family show. Have a wonderful time! HTH
