Having never been to either of Universal's parks, we really didn't know what to expect. Universal's Islands of Adventure is quite different than Disney which seems to handle large crowds better. Islands has only a handful of rides\attractions which IMHO causes the long lines to form. Universal also has an "express" ticket option, which doubles the cost of admission from $80 to $160. With the express ticket, you bypass the regular admission lines, but it also looked like they had their own line, albeit a shorter one, but at twice the price. I may sound like Grinch but yesterday's visit soured me on Universal. We did enjoy the two rides. They also hit you with $20 parking.
