Prices and Themes Question

[45ish]

Islands of adventure sounds like a fun place. What theme is it? Are there any pirates involved? Is this park open year round or just certain seasons?
What kind of prices are we talking here? What are some of your favorite things to do at this park?
I appreciate all the help everyone is giving me about Orlando and the Disney Parks.

Islands of Adventure has five themed Islands

Marvel Superheroes
Toon Lagoon
Jurassic Park
Lost Continent
Seuss Landing

Theres a Popeye themed attraction - does that count for pirates?

I was wondering about this place myself, most of the reviews say its worth it but on my limited time and budget it might be a 'next year' thing for me.

What do you mean by pirates??? Spiderman is an absolute awesome 3D ride not to be missed in my opinion, so if you get chance pop over.

Both Universal parks are amazing, and with the opening of the Harry Potter World in June, will make them even more special, have to say think they are better value ( admission prices, gifts etc ) then Disney, just my personal opnion of course :-)

Definitely agree with you there! The Spiderman ride is really good fun!
