Universal - Islands of Adventure

IOA is now my favourite park, pushing Busch Gardens into second.

That strikes a chord with me!

I spent exactly the same dreadful day as I don't enjoy extreme rides.

It was hot, humid, and the queues were really long for the popular rides.

Love IOA and Universal, lots for everyone to do at both parks, we feel disney is really only for the younger ones, but as someone else has said give it a go, at least then you can say you have tried, better to regret something you have done that regreg something you have never tried. But whatever you decide to do, enjoy.

I don't do extreme rides but this is still my favourite park. Plenty to do for scaredy cats like me. I love to do the walkthru to fire and ice, its great. Get out at the top and go to the viewing area to take pics. Love to watch Hulk and one day would like to ride, trouble is just a small health scare so this one will probably have to wait again.

With the number of bags I had to hold - all i could do was stand!!!
To be honest queuing up for a ride I wasn't going to go on just to walk through it doesn't appeal. DH now goes on his own and spends all his time in single rider queues! He loves it. We don't hold him back and the Universal single rider system seems to be very good.

My children are 15, 10 and 6 and IOA is the BEST and most favourite park for them all. My parents are in there 60's and they also love IOH - definitely a park with something for everyone. I would highly recommend and although we didn't plan on visiting the parks during our visit in September, we will be paying IOH a visit[msnwink]It just has to be done.
