Well, we're back from Universal - we went over to Islands of Adventure - and straight over to the Bilge Rats ride (a water ride guaranteed to get you wet). I went prepared - sandals and bathing suit. The lines for all of the newer rides were long - 60-75 minutes in most cases. On the pther hand, all the older rides were pretty quick (especially over in the original park - no wait at all for "Earthquake", "Twister", or "Back to the Future". Oddly enough, the "Hulk" coaster had a huge wait, while the "Dueling Dragons" one (further back in the park) was 10 minutes. Still can't get my daughter on any of the challenging coasters either. It was a full day - ended a bit early by a set of nasty t-storms that rolled through at 6:00 or so in the evening. We watched the fireworks from that all the way back to the house. One more day, and then it's back home.
