Universal’s IOA help please.

Whos jealous that Avatar is going to Disney for nice long trip here in a few short days? I am... Since I wasnt invited I expect a nice Trip Report as usual when you get back. Enjoy and I think you will have an amazing time at IOA, matter of fact I imagine next year you may spend some more time there. Enjoy and while at Universal Studios, make sure you ride the Mummy, it is one of the best coasters around...

Hit Dueling Dragons, The Incredible Hulk, and Spider-Man early. To be fair, Universal usually tends to be not so crowded early in the day. You should be able to get all of these and maybe a little more done. Hold off on City Walk until they are ready to reopen for Halloween Horror Nights. Enjoy the Horror, but please drive carefully. One thing about Universal Studios that I have never liked is how much alcohol they sell. Take Kings Island for an example. You might hear the shout "Get your ice cold Lemon Chills Here." At Universal, you are hearing shouts for " Purchase Vodka Pops!" It makes me a nervous wreck to drive home at the same time as all of those people who have been drinking. I usually leave a little bit early.

XgatorHead 8904 I am looking forward to reading your report, I saw you posting yesterday and wondered how things went from you. I am glad you gave us a brief description of your trip and especially glad to hear you had some magic moments.

RailRider no need to be jealous and to wait for an official invite as anyone is welcome to tag along for part or the whole trip while we are down there. Last year my daughters friend who we invited parents asked after seeing the Itinerary if they could join us too.

This year more various family members will join late in the trip. I had talked with CoryButcher about getting a group together for next years off season trip, so who knows.

RailRider you are right about more time at Universal and IOA next year. I am not going to the Universal Studios side this year just have a 3 hour pass for IOA and I know that will be enough to want me to bring the family back next year. In fact I am still working on Miss Rae to ride the bigger rides, so maybe by then she’ll be ready. I also just want to tell you I got your PM and want to thank you for your message and kind words. Thank –You

Marlfox-21 and everyone else who has made suggestion Thank-You for taking the time to respond it really has helped this over planner by nature (job) be ready to make the best of IOA on my first trip there.

My plane leaves at 655AM on Saturday morning and I am going to KI Halloween Haunt on Friday. At first I thought it would be to much to come over to KI but I am looking at it like Friday is my first day of vacation and I get to start it at my home park doing something I have never done before. To be honest I am really glad I get to see KI Halloween Haunt before I see Universal Horror nights, because for me “that’s the way it should be". So thanks everyone for the happy send off wishes and I hope I get the chance to see everyone at KI this Friday night first.

BTW – I look forward to doing a trip report when we come back, I have been working on a couple surprise while down there, that you all may be interested in.
