Besides wizarding world i really didnt find much appeal to the rest of the park. Ioa had FJ, Spiderman and jurassic park the rest of the rides are meh and i didnt even like FJ much anyways.

I thought it was by far the best attraction I had ever been on. Just the queue itself was worth the price of admission to IOA. Loved the Hulk Coaster, Spiderman, Forbidden Journey, Dragon Challenge, and Poseidon's Fury. Thought the themeing of the Wizarding World was superior to anything I had seen anywhere. Prices of admission, food and merchandise were all considerably less that at Disney. I'd take a day at IOA over a day at Disney Studios any time! We are going on a Disney cruise again next fall... and then spending 3 days at Universal before heading home!

The best themed, creative and amazing ride in my opinion is Indy. Your right about the Studios. We hated DHS, we only liked RRC and TOT.
Originally Posted By RoadTrip Different strokes for different folks... I like GOOD simulators because they give experiences that nothing else can. When I rode Indy I thought the queue was FANTASTIC, but wasn't that impressed by the ride itself. Of course I've never much cared for Dinosaur at the AK either, which is virtually the same ride with different sets.
Originally Posted By tashajilek I do like some simulators just not for adventure rides, it just doesnt feel the same. I love TSMM because its a fun game and Star Tours because i grew up with it at DL. However i wouldnt pick ST or TSMM over Indy, Splash, Space, Everest etc.

Add to that going during a mega peak time of year = not happy. Not all Parks are appealing to everyone ... Some are a once in a lifetime ... Some are a once every ten years type of place.
