Roller Coaster Riding at IOA/Universal - 2024 Holiday Meetup!

Glad you can join us! Please read all the details below:

All attendees must be at least 18 years old to join this adult event, preferred 21 and older because of possible alcohol consumption.

Note: This event is for Roller Coaster riders!!**

We will meet at Starbucks at the first table which is under the overhang.

We are going to hit IOA first for Roller Coaster riding which can include VelociCoaster, Hagrid's Motorbike Adventure, The Hulk, Gringotts, and then maybe head to Universal for The Mummy and Rip Ride Rocket if there is time.

We will stop somewhere to eat which is TBD

On Dec. 8th, according to the website currently, Universal closes at 7pm and IOA close at 7pm. (This can always change).

This is a social group and I encourage everyone to talk and make everyone feel comfortable and included in conversation. Be open to talking games where we will switch talking partners and topics while waiting in line.

Please leave plenty of time to get to the meeting location, it may take 15 - 30 minutes from parking to getting to the location. (It's much quicker if you get there early).

You must have your own annual pass! Watch out for blackout dates if you have a Power or Seasonal Pass!!

The intention of this group is to form friendships who are like minded, enjoy being social and engaging, and who have annual passes.

I will make sure we take breaks as needed.

If you have to leave the group for any reason, please do so at any time. It may be hard to "jump back in" since messaging can be difficult with a lot of people. You can ask where we are on the chat on Meetup however it may take a while for someone to respond.

We will be waiting in the regular lines and the wait times may be long. This time is great for talking, meeting new people, playing games, and sometimes this is the best part of the experience! So please don't be discouraged by long wait times.

I will be as accommodating as possible but just note that we might not be able to make it on the "one ride" that you want to ride. This group is more about experiencing fun times with fun people than it is about riding specific rides.

I will keep this a free group however, if you enjoyed your time, donations will be accepted only to cover the recurring maintenance costs of this group.

I help run other Meetup groups and am familiar with hosting events. Any unwanted or uncomfortable behavior will be noted and/or challenged and you may be asked to leave the group or may not be welcomed back. Anyone asked to leave will be banned from future meetups with our group.

Thank you, I want to make sure everyone feels welcome, comfortable, and safe with us!
