| one day one park, which one? I have three boys ages 8, 14, and 17. We have one day to do one of the Universal Parks, which would be the better choice. We have never been there before. Thanks!

| the best way i can say which one is with a question? do the kids like major thrill rides then i would go with IOA if they like shows and mild attractions basically like DHS then i would pick the studios. good luck on choosing this is going to be a hard ?? in my book lol .

| I'd say IOA for teenage boys! Although US has the Mummy coaster, Men in Black and the Simpsons ride, so they may like it too! Maybe you can let them browse the Universal website and see which rides appeal to them the most.

| I agree - it depends if you're coaster lovers or not. If you are, then Islands of Adventure.

| Thanks guys, you made that easy. We all love the coasters and thrill rides, so I was leaning towards IOA but just wanted to make sure!

| Just for what it's worth, I think IoA has some great thrill rides, but US was more fun and seemed to have more to do, IMHO. BUT that only holds true until Harry Potter opens!

| We just got back from a day at each park, and we had more fun at Universal than IOA. IOA was good, but after doing both sides of Dueling Dragons back to back in 90 degree heat, my DH and kids were pretty much done for the day. At Universal they loved The Mummy and we all enjoyed the Simpsons, Men in Black, Terminator, etc. They also have the new Rip Ride Rockit coaster. But I'm sure you'll have fun in either park. Beth

| I asked my DS who is 14. He was 12 when we last went. He said IOA for the cool rides. And then he said, he'd want me to get 2 park-1 day tickets so he could squeeze in a ride on Simpsons and MIB too. That's my boy. LOL
