Ioa

OK we have our unlimited Park Hopper but DH still wants to go to IOA. We have been to Universal many times and I think it is great, but never IOA. I am reluctant to leave DW of course. I like most roller coasters (except wooden ones). We are both 50 (can you believe I admitted my age) and still ride everything we can. Those of you who have been, do you think we would enjoy this park?

I really like this park. I prefer IOA over Universal Studios. There are a lot more thrill rides at this park. The Hulk (Corkscrew Rollercoaster), Spiderman, & I love Dudley Do-Right's Rip Saw Falls-very thrilling (hate to admit it :whistle: , but I prefer this log flume ride over Spash Mtn)! I would recommend going to this park! As a matter of fact, hubby & I are going to this one day in Jan, the rest of the time will be @ WDW.

TRY IT! IF YOU LIKE THRILL RIDES, YOU'LL LOVE THIS PLACE!
:) :) :) :) :)

HAVE FUNE!

I would definitely recommend going to this park, especially if you are thrill ride junkie! However, it is NOT DISNEY! Don't think it is when you walk through the gates...I mean, it has it's own "personality" and is a well thought out park, but it is definitely LACKING the magic that WDW possesses...........don't feel guilty going to another WDW theme park! It will only REMIND you just how much you LOVE Disney's Magic!!!!!

Short funny story, I was getting my son's first haircut on Main Street in MK when we were there in August. When they were done, the barber sprinkled "pixie dust" in his hair. I screamed out "WOW LOOK, CONFETTI!!!" The barber stopped in his tracks and calmy said "NO, IT'S NOT CONFETTI...IT'S PIXIE DUST!!! IT'S CONFETTI AT UNIVERSAL!!!" :D

Our best friends in Orlando have just hit the Magical 50 mark and they're both thrill-ride junkies. All the pixie dust DW and I have sprinkled on them over the years still hasn't kept them from preferring IOA over WDW, simply because of the rides. They do go with us to Disney and acknowledge the magic is missing at Universal but they're hooked on the thrill rides.

At any rate, don't feel bad about going to another park. You will enjoy IOA.

ioa

We went last October to US and IOA it was great and got a good deal on the internet at Universal Studios.com. We paid $370.00 for 2 adults and 2 kids for 5 consecutive days. We had a blast!!!!
