If you were a HP fan you would've admired how the parks "took" you to Hogwarts, Diagon Alley, and really put you there. Yes, we absolutely spend hours wandering around the shops taking it all in. True fans will do the same, which isn't you.

Minions
Transformers
Shrek
Spiderman ride
Ripsaw Falls
Jurassic Park Ride
Popeye's Water barges
Pterendon Flyers
X-Men Excelerators
the cat in the hat rides
Woody Woodpecker coaster
ET
Simpsons ride
Men in Black ride (like Buzz light year in Disney)

The Jurrasic Park play areas were so much fun too.
The Cat and the Hat show was cute
Curious George play area. Even older kids LOVED this. Tons of water play areas and inside the building is a huge interactive ball shooting play area. I think my 6yr old spent 45 minutes in there. She loved it.

We also tend to take breaks in the middle of the afternoon and go back to the pool. Unless the parks close early. Then we do the pool at night. It depends on the weather. There are a lot of fun restaurants/shops at Citiwalk too.
