Can I just tell you how awesome Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure were! We had so much fun at both of them!!
I am going to Start with IOA because Universal Studios was my favorite!
Islands of Adventure
We made sure to get up, get ready and be there by 8 am! We got there as the doors were opened and we headed straight for all the bigger rides first. We made it all the way around the whole park in like 3 hours. We went back around a second time and we hit all the water rides, and the smaller rides that we missed during the first loop. We didn't have to wait in very many lines! It would take us 5-10 minutes to walk through and get to the ride and then we would get right on. It was so nice, not having to wait in long lines. Towards the end of the day it got a little busier and the ones we wanted to go on again we just went through the single riders (You wait in line together, it goes way quicker than the normal line and usually you get on the same time as each other. )We ended up going around a third time with Trevor, Cynthia and Austin. who gets to go to a theme park at 3.5 months! He does.
Rides From Favorite To Worst
Harry Potter & the Forbidden Journey(Way cool, and I really felt like I was there)
The Incredible Hulk (One of the only Roller Coasters, and it was really cool, it scared me at first when it shot up and took off)
Amazing Spider Man (My first "Ride" and it was very fun, we wore the 3D glasses in this ride.)
Popeye & Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges (We got soaking wet and it was very refreshing)
Dudley Do-Rights Ripsaw Falls (I screamed the entire way down)
Dragon Challenge (I got a headache from both of these rides, but they were still fun)
Flight of the Hippogriff (This ride was okay, not great, but still okay.)
The High in the Sky Seuss Trolley Train Ride (Just a fun, cute ride)
Jurassic Park River Adventure (Eh it was okay, not my fav. but we had to go on them all)
Doctor Dooms FearFall (Personally not worth the wait.)
Shows
The Eighth Voyage of Sinbad (It was nice to sit and take a break and just watch something)
Poseidon's Fury (If your claustrophobic don't go to this ride, I was getting Nauseous with so many people all hot and sweaty, however the show ended up being pretty cool and entertaining.)
