What should I do first in Islands of Adventure?

For your Island of Adventure itinerary, we suggest getting into the park as soon as you possibly can and heading straight to Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure. By the time you get off of Jurassic World VelociCoaster, regular park hours will most likely have started.

It's not 100% necessary because there are lots of water sprinklers across the paths. I'm a bit mixed on them. Some slides have to be barefoot, so there are shoe racks at the entrance. However, often the exit to the slide is ages away from the shoe rack to you have to hoof it back to get your shoes.
