Hogsmeade, Jurassic World, Skull Island, the Marvel Super Hero Island, Toon Lagoon, and Seuss Landing — Islands of Adventure consistently rates among the world's best theme parks.
The park is a loop — start with Hagrid's first thing in the morning, then work your way around.
Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure, Flight of the Hippogriff, and Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey.
Plan a Wizarding dayVelociCoaster (consistently ranked among the world's best coasters), the River Adventure, and Skull Island: Reign of Kong.
Plan a Jurassic dayThe Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man, the Incredible Hulk Coaster, and Doctor Doom's Fearfall.
Plan a Marvel dayTwo soak-you-completely water rides — Popeye & Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges and Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls.
Plan a wet dayThe most charming corner of the park — High in the Sky Trolley Train Ride and the Cat in the Hat. Great for younger kids.
Plan a Seuss dayThe pass-through area between Seuss and Hogsmeade — home to Mythos restaurant and the Dueling Dragons archway.
Stop for lunchThese two rides routinely have 90+ minute waits by mid-morning. Where you stay determines whether you can rope-drop them — and Express Pass doesn't apply to Hagrid's at all.
