Jurassic Park Questions

[HackLaSalle]

Cafeteria actually has pretty good food as well. I actually was seriously disappointed with the jurassic park ride. But I definitely enjoyed the atmosphere. Are the pterdon? Flyers still open or was that swallowed up by HP?

You have all been so helpful. I am actually excited about visiting over there. Do you have any recommendations regarding transportation to and from Universal.

We are using the Magical Express to stay at Port Orleans French Quarter so we won't have a rental car. Should we call a taxi? Should we rent a car on property? Or is there a bus or shuttle available between WDW and Universal?

As you can see by my signature that FQ is also our home. We go to US every trip for at least a couple of days and have always found renting a car, even for a day, to be well worth it. The car rental per day is cheaper than a cab or shuttle and you can come and go when you want. The parking at Universal is $15.00 for the regular parking. You can upgrade to preferred parking which I think gets you closer to the gates of Citywalk, but we've never used it.

We rent the car from Alamo by MK and return usually in the evening or next morning. They have a free shuttle service (during business hours) that will pick you up from FQ and then when you return the car, they will either take you back to the resort or a park. It has always worked well for us and we usually make a stop at Publix or other grocery store to stock up on beverages & munchies for the remainder of our stay on property.

They are still open...

Pteranodon Flyers is one of the few rides I don't think that I will do again. The ride is very cool BUT, the lines are so long and SLOW moving, coupled with the fact the ride is extemely short, it's not worth my time. Just my two cents.

Islands of Adventure very nice ride...Oh my...it's very much like right out of the movie except that you're in a boat not a car...Harry Potter is there too and a Dinosaur Nursery etc. Quite neat. Spider Man's there also...one of my favorites.

Jurassic Park is fun to explore. My son fell in love with the movie 15 years when he was only a year old...go figure...he discovered the movie when we were looking for a new TV...it was the video of the week at Circuit City...LOL...the more the dinosaur would growl the more he'd laugh...we ended up buying the movie AND the TV.

DBF and I had annual passes to Universal before we had Disney passes. We didn't renew because the parks got old (unlike at Disney), but we miss the Jurrasic Park ride. It was a lot of fun and that section of the park is so well themed. We were giddy everytime we entered that section of the park. I think she'll enjoy it!
