Planning a day trip to Universal Orlando

I think it's worth the extra money, especially if it rains there is a lot more to do at studios.

Hopefully no rain.

I’m really debating it cause I’m only doing three things at studios. Unless the Harry Potter ride has a crazy wait. Then I’m just doing two and then walking around and then back to IOA.

I would include studios. And I'm not the biggest fan of it. With that said, the mummy and gringots are worth it for someone who hasn't done them before.

 

[Theunknown87]

The mummy is on my list for sure. Gringots is on my list too. Unless there is some obnoxious wait (i don’t think they have a single rider line?). Then I might consider passing on it.

It is 100% worth hopping and super easy to do. You'll get through everything you want, for sure.

Gringotts has a single rider line that's open probably 90%. But you miss the entire queue. You enter via a long unthemed hallway to the ride stairs. Mummy has a single rider line also.

Hopefully no rain.

August in Florida, LOL! Plan on rain.

Yep. If He only tickets IOA, and it rains a lot, there will be very little to do. Best to spring for the multi park pass since
Studios is almost all indoors, plus the Hogwarts Express.

I forgot it has a single rider line. I don’t mind missing the regular line.

I will do single rider line on velocicoaster once and then my plan is to go back and do regular line so I can hopefully ask for the front seat.

 

[Spike101]

The single rider line for Gringotts is usually very, very quick, but Velocicoaster not so much and to be honest you're better off just doing the regular line for that.

Just want to correct you @Theunknown87 since I think you keep getting autocorrected. You mean to say 4 things at studios right?? Because you clearly wouldn’t skip ET’s adventure and not say hi to Botanicus? Right?

 

[Captain Spaulding]

I love Gringotts single rider line, just walk in and if you don't get to the stairs, walk out. If you are at the bottom of the stairs, walk out, get a beer and come back!

 

[Theunknown87]

This is not only entirely feasible but probably even easy for you to accomplish as a single rider for most of the things you mentioned. Where this gets spotty and unpredictable is WEATHER in the Summer. Things like those 3 outdoor coasters at IoA pose risk of being missed if the weather is bad and no one will be able to help you there. You might find yourself hunkering down on an indoor attraction while you wait for things to blow over. Might delay you some.

I'd say rope-drop IoA and do Hagrids > Forbidden > Velocicoaster in whatever order is easiest for you. Hagrids and Velocicoaster are relatively close to one another so the wait times could be easier for one as opposed to the other and that might effect your order while there but Forbidden is back corner so do it between OR after those two, if anything. Then do Kong then Hulk on the way out as I don't imagine you'll want to wait at Hogwarts Express for the ride over and can save time walking to the other park. Do Mummy upon entrance, Transformers on the way to Gringotts.

Honestly, shouldn't be hard. Best of luck to ya!

Currently here all out of whack cause long lines this morning. Got here at 8. Just got off velocicoaster. Waited for the front seat. Had a delay cause two trains back to back had people throw up haha.

 

[Theunknown87]

Also, hagrids has 105+ min wait. And no single rider open so I’m skipping that for now.

Currently in line for forbidden and that has a delay they are saying.

Kong is also delayed. So hopefully the day gets better haha.
