I guess it all depends on the ride op...

Next time, if they say no, just kick them in the face and run inside the line... wait, nevermind, nix that idea

Park opening and park closing are 2 different things. At park closing, they are trying to CLOSE THE PARK. Therefore, you trying to get a credit in a line that could very well be 20-45 minutes will prevent the minimum wage earning ops from leaving on time to go runamuck back at their dorm. If you get there at opening however, they've got plenty of time to kill while waiting for their shifts to end, and with the line being very short, they're more inclined to let you goofballs get your experience. At least you can make them happy at the beginning of the day by making them think how funny you guys look, all excited to ride a 20 second, 2 person suspended gravity powered monorail. :lmao:

^^ Is that how they treated you when you got the credit? Ok I shall give that a try. At least DD will be close as well (at least in June they will be).

^No, I rode it way back in 1999 when you didn't need a kid in order to ride, you just had to wait 45 minutes. If my coworker was going to Universal on her trip, I'm sure she'd let you borrow the 4 year old. Heck, maybe she wouldn't even want her back! Sadly, its Disney only this trip for her.

Yeah, this time just try park opening, that way the back of the park has no one in it and the ops have nothing to do. They'll probably let you ride.

Just another question about the annual passes,

Im hoping 2 get the one with the black out dates when I get 2 Orlando... Can you still buy annual passes even though the place is closed?! Or will it be open by June? lol

Great Photo TR Erick! Looks like Soren, Stefan, and you had a great time at USF & IOA. I still can't believe I haven't gone to Florida yet.

My first trip to Universal and IOA in 2006 - Part 1
With a great tour guide...

Hey guys,

I had a hard long day yesterday, thats why I had no time to post some pictures! Anyway, now I have a few minutes befor I need to go to work!
You all have seen the pictures from Erik, and yes we really had a good time! It was my first time at IOA and it was great! I really like Hulk and the lunch is amazing! We were there the whole day and mostly we had no waiting time! I really need to thank Erik for his great tour guide job! I had so much fun with him!

Oh, and thank you for posting the great pictures, Erik!
However, onto the pictures:
