    Islands of Adventure

    Is there much to do at IOA for someone like me who just cannot 'stomach' roller coasters[?] Or will I have to be content with sitting on the sidelines watching the others enjoying (or trying to look like they are) themselves[msnsad]

    Karen, I too cannot go on rollercoasters, but love Islands of adventure. If you have any children Dr Seuss land is fantastic. Last time we went with our 7yr old son who took me on Cat in the Hat ride at least 4 times. Poseidon Adventure is also a must (walk through attraction with brilliant effects).

    I went to IOA with rollercoaster fans and I hate them! I spent the day holding the bags which was dull dull dull

    There are a few things to do but I would not be overkeen to go again.

    Spiderman is a must. It is NOT a roller coaster. There are three good water rides. one rapids and two flume type including the themed one. Jurassic Park. You will enjoy Poseideons Fury and Sinbad , both of which are shows. BUT a lot of the big rides here are thrill rides so it will limit you a bit.

    Hi Karen,

    There are only 2 real roller coasters in IOA, The Hulk and Duelling Dragons.

    The rest are thrill rides, so depending on why you dont like coasters will decide whether you like anything IOA has to offer.

    If its limited to the heights and hills, then the only other two rides you may want to avoid are Dudley Do Right and Jurassic Park River Adventure. However, if its a motion thing, then you're probably best leaving IOA all together as the only attractions that dont throw you around are Poseidon's Fury, The Jurassic Park Research Centre and the Toon and Sinbad shows.

    Maybe you could visit the less intense Universal Studios while the rest of your party goes to IOA, then arange to meet them when they're finished ?
