Which park for only 1 day?

[Degli]

Which park would you visit if you only had 1 day to do Universal? My children are 6yo and a daring and very tall 9yo. Should we save IOA for another visit? Thanks (my daughter put in the smilies)

If I Only Had One Day I Would Go To Universal Studios For Sure, You Must Do Jaws!!!!

Go to USF. The 6 year old can't make the height requirement for the big kid rides, so she'll feel left out. But the 9 year old may be able to ride The Mummy and they'll both enjoy MIB.
Oh, and you must see the Barney show.

Personally, I would choose IOA, but it depends on what your kids like.

I think IOA has more child-oriented attractions than USF, there is a Dr Suess Land and a Jurassic Park land which have a lot for kids, as well as a Comic book land complete with a parade of all the popular superheroes, as well as a really neat Spiderman ride. There also is a roller coaster in one of the lands (can't remember the name or the land)that is geared for kids. Both my 10-year old nephew and 3 year old son prefer IOA.

USF however does have Barney show, and in the same area there is a childrens roller coaster, the ET ride, and the Animal Planet show. MIB is also good, but there is a height requirement. Some of the other attractions like Twister and Earthquake are pretty realistic, so can be kind of scary for kids.

I agree with Aidensmom. IOA all the way.
