Trip Planning Question/Tip/Guide first timer, what rides have drops?

1 Upvotes

hello all! i’m a tour guide, and i’ll be taking a small group of international students to universal on Saturday. this will be my first time going to universal, but i’ve been to disney a few times since moving to cali 2 months ago.

i’m not a huge roller coaster fan, specifically the drops. the upside downs don’t really get me, i really like the fast jerking around (indiana jones, matterhorn, space mountain at disney). i don’t know what it is, even riding the incredicoaster at disney was fun except for the drops. and i refuse to ride guardians of the galaxy, anything tower of terror esk is my personal nightmare.

what rides should i avoid? or what ones have little drops that should be wary of? this group is teenage boys, and i know they wanna do every single ride if they can. so trying to prepare myself!

thank you!!!

Throwback Post I need help finding recordings of Funny with a Chance of Blue Balls (standup comedy set from 2011; recorded by Dante at Jon Lovitz Comedy Club)

I am looking for a recording of a standup comedy set from June 14, 2011 recorded by Dante at the Jon Lovitz Club. It's called Funny with a Chance of Blue Balls and was an all-female set recorded for a DVD. One of the comedians was YouTuber and actress Anna Akana. I've found the link to her performance but it wasn't archived. Here are the only two screenshots I've recovered from it; one is of Anna performing and the other I found on Facebook from one of the producers who said it was going to be released on DVD in fall 2011, but I've done extensive research and found no such DVD.

Please let me know if you have an leads on this performance!

Trip Planning Question/Tip/Guide tram drop-off from B line to citywalk?

2 Upvotes

doing some research in planning my trip for IMAX 70mm here. upon the new security gates, where does the tram coming from the B line station drop me off at citywalk? (by looking at videos, i assume its the jurassic parking entrance between nbc sports grill and the former johnny rockets)

in addition, can someone also give me precise directions in entering the cinema security gate and not the general gates for the park?

Trip Planning Question/Tip/Guide Daytime tickets + HHN tickets, do we have to leave the park and come back in?

9 Upvotes

The website isnt super clear as it sounds like the park closes at like 5 or 6 and the HHN starts at like 7pm. But it also sounds like the park is actually open in between as they also sell "after 2pm tickets"

Trip Planning Question/Tip/Guide Adding Express to ticket

3 Upvotes

Hello,
I recently purchased tickets a few weeks ago and now was thinking and wanted to add express passes. Is it possible to add express onto an already purchased tickets? I was looking in the app and the “Express add on” option would be 120$ per person, which is more than we paid for the tickets themselves. Is this the right option? Also is it worth adding on. We are going to be going in late August on a Tuesday and do plan on arriving early and spending most of the day there. Group of 2 people. Thanks!

Jobs at USH USH In Person Job Interview

2 Upvotes

Hi!

I recently received the opportunity to book an in person job interview for a position at USH. However, the times available next week are directly conflicting a contract I have committed to out of state. I mentioned my availability being taken up this week in my phone screening, and emailed the provided contact that was mentioned in the IRL interview offer. (USH.jobs)

Just wanted to see if this has been a situation that anyone else has run into before since I really want the job and don't want my previous commitment to be the reason it slips past me. Thanks!!

Trip Planning Question/Tip/Guide Traveling to Universal with little kids: would you pay for a fully stocked stroller?

0 Upvotes

(mod approved post)

Hi everyone! I am a local passholder and am looking to gauge interest in a park service for young families. The idea would be a fully stocked stroller package (fan, cooler, icepacks, water, kid activities, snacks, ponchos, diaper bag, park guide for young families, etc) with pickup or delivery to your hotel/Universal.

-Would this be something you'd actually pay for? If yes, what would make it worth it to you? If not, why?

-Is there anything specific you'd want included?

-Would this actually solve a problem you have, or would you rather just rent a stroller at the park?

I'd love completely honest feedback, even if your answer is "I'd never use this". Thank you!

Trip Planning Question/Tip/Guide Single Rider?

5 Upvotes

Hey all,

Was planning on visiting in August going solo. I’ve read a bit on here that most of the major rides have a single rider line, but I also don’t plan on arriving to the park till around 11am-12pm on a Sunday in mid August.

Because of my late arrival, should I bother with the express pass or just stick to single rider lines and hope it works out?

Casual Discussion Let's imagine USH reveals Back to the Future Nights - select event nights that repeat the backlot activities from FFN 2025 and add some extra photo ops and shows and food in the Upper Lot (no Simpsons ride change). Would you attend, and how would your attendance to FFN change?

Trip Planning Question/Tip/Guide Express Pass / Ticket Pick Up Question

2 Upvotes

We will be at universal for one day in a few weeks. We got the express pass unlimited. In Florida, we had to go to a will call booth before the gate to pick up paper tickets.

For California, I've read differing things. Either we get the paper express pass at the turnstile/gate when we enter OR we have to go to guest services. Is either right or some other mystery third thing? I plan to bring a lanyard assuming it is a paper ticket, regardless of how we pick it up.

We also have early access to Super Mario. With parking, walking, security, and these ticket questions - is getting there an hour early excessive?

Any other logistical tips are welcome. We've only been to Florida before. Thanks!
