- Try to get to the park early, and skip all attraction close to the entrance because most the people will go to the nearest rides in the morning. Walk down to the rides area where you can take the rides like Transformers, Mummy and Jurassic Park.
- Don’t throw away the map you were handed at entrance it has show schedules. You can adapt your rides time to the shows. If you don’t have front of the line pass, the line can take long time.
- Take the Despicable Me Minion and the Shrek 4D ride at end of the day because people with small kids leave early and lines are much shorter. The better seats are in the middle or the back.
- Don’t forget to take Studio Tour, King Kong 360 can be only seen during the ride. The Studio Tour is available in different languages.
