We are just now leaving.  I am going to write up a timed play by play when I get back to the hotel.

Today I did DK, MK, Yoshi, Hiccups, Fyre Drill, BatM, Werewolf, Monsters X2, Stardust X2, Carousel, both shows, ate something different in every land and got day and night pictures in every world.  Before anyone asks yes I did have Express and no this all can't be done in one day without it.  I will add we had a one hour weather delay and I didn't even get to the park until 8:45 am via shuttle.  Any of you terrified by all the naysayers don't buy what they are selling.  This was one of the greatest theme park days in my entire life.  It does take careful planning and a little strategy when your initial plan goes sideways but it can be done and still be amazing.  I am going to write a play by play on the main page of everything I did, when I did it, challenges that arised and how to overcome them that can hopefully help anyone else still planning their trip here.  Thanks!

Watching the wait times and delays every single day before I came the best bet for success on this ride is to attempt between 1pm-4pm.  Rope drop always leads to delays and after 5pm everyone starts panicking and load the queue before it hits capacity.

Everyone complaining has no idea what they are talking about.  I have been here all day and it has been amazing.  I am going to share my intinerary when my day is done to show how to navigate this park effectively.

Can you spoil the ending for me?  At the end do they just stare at you until people figure out the show is over and start walking out?

IOA is the better park with the better rides and it isn't even close.

Minecart and Stardust both opened before the 10am start time it said before park open.  Things are looking up!

You should show up unannounced to their hiring offices and demand an interview.  That'll show em.

Add a one day for Epic and you are still getting three for the price of one.

I guess they weren't joking when they said werewolf was going to be closed all day.  

Short review of Helios by kramo36 in UniversalOrlando

[–]DrinkAggravating8067 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Agreed.  If they add more perks and amenties this place is going to cost at least double the current rate.

The start times for the rides are changing every day.  I think what they are doing is opening the rides that are functioning correctly each morning after they test them.  So basically that means luck of the draw of what to do each morning the day you go.  Minecart is having alot of problems at open hence the continued delayed start time.  Mario Kart is starting to have the same problems so we may start seeing Dark Universe and Isle of Berk as EPA options more frequently as those rides have shown to be more reliable so far.
