Universal Studios First Timer

[MiRi]

I am going to US on Saturday. I have only been to Islands of Adventure, but never to Universal.

1. I am a chicken. I'll do Spider-Man in IOA but not Dr. Doom. I don't do rollercoasters either...nothing that will flip me over and whatnot. I can deal with drops (I love Dudley Do Right). What rides do you think I'll like or do you think I might pass on?

2. We're thinking of going to City Walk on Friday night. Do we have to pay for parking?

3. Do you think it's possible to do both Uni. & IOA in one day and be able to do everything?

4. I need directions from All-Star Sports to Universal.

Thank you!

1. The only real "thrill rides" in USF are Back to the Future The Ride and Revenge of the Mummy. If you can handle Spidey at IOA and Star Tours at MGM then you shouldn't have a problem with BTTF. ROTM is a roller coaster, however there are no inversions.

2. Parking is free after 6pm.

3. Depends on the crowds. However, if you go for only the major things and skip some of the smaller stuff, then you can easily do it all in a day.

1. If you want to get wet, spend time at Popeye and Dudley, you'd probably enjoy USO more than IOA. If you don't like coasters, then you would probably just skip Mummy, Hulk, and Dueling Dragons...everything else should be fair game...I don't do coasters either or drops, but I do everything at USO, except Mummy

3. If you get to USO as it opens and hit Mummy & Shrek quickly, you could probably hav USO done by 3-4pm. IOA probably will take longer, just because it is more difficult to jump from ride to ride (since it is one big circuit).

Enjoy!
