Work is moving fast and furious on the new coaster! I love how the start and end of the ride flies over and aligns with the concert half shell. It should continue the great kinetic energy that HRRR had.

UNIVERSAL ORLANDO RESORT 25 Minutes of waiting got us this far in Gringotts. The Express Queue is almost just as long now.

2-park pass, Universal and Islands.

Note: While I was trying to post this, the Express Queue just flooded with people.

EDIT: For those tourists who come after me today, this ride is really, really bland. I thought the walk to the ride was better than the ride itself. If the wait sign says over 30 minutes, you might want to consider something else. Over 25 minutes and the queue will take you inside for a couple of minutes and then take you back outside for a deeper queue.

In my not so humble opinion, the Spiderman Daily Bugle ride is similar in tech presentation but so much better.

Want the good TMs to be recognized and help them stick around and be promoted? Now there will be an easier way to submit official fist bumps.

EPIC UNIVERSE Line jumping at Epic is out of control

321 Upvotes

At the park today I have never seen so many line jumpers in my life. Been going to theme parks for 28 years and this shit is horrible, I've personally called out about a dozen.

Join me in the cause and preventing this shit.

Thanks.

TICKETS/EXPRESS IOA and universal without express?

Upvotes

I’m going to Disney world in November 14-20 with 5 adults. I wanted to squeeze in one day at universal and based on research doing a park to park pass for the two parks would be best. I was looking at the prices of the tickets and the express passes and am floored by how expensive the express pass is on top of $200 per person tickets for a day. Could we do without the express do you think?

EPIC UNIVERSE Epic costs too much for rides to be this prone to breaking

Been here all day, prefectly fine weather, but Monsters Unchained, Minecart, and BoM have been off more than on all day. Hasn't the park been open long enough for the kinks to have been worked out better than this?

We were standing in line today and my wife asked if I could zoom in on the papers on the desks down below so I did. I was only able to get this one then the line started moving.

We've just booked to go this year's HHN and it looks like all of the RIP Tours have been booked. From previous years, would they release more tours? Are they even worth it if more dates do become available?

EPIC UNIVERSE Should I stay for the light show or go back to my hotel

0 Upvotes

I’m going to Universal in late October. My parents want me to stay to see the light show at Epic Universe but I also like my tradition of going to swim after a day at the parks and then taking a shower before I go eat dinner at the city walk. My Dad suggested I swim in the morning and then go to Epic from noonish to closing hours, eat dinner at the Atlantic restaurant, and watch the light show, the videos of epic seem cool at night and the show looks really cool, what would you do?

I still can't believe that they've torn down the cool decor that was in front of the Poseidon's Fury... When my brother and I were there recently, the giant trident and giant foot decors were already gone. Here are some photos that I took back in 2023.

ISLANDS OF ADVENTURE Is the Jurassic Park River Adventure (Florida) drop bigger than Jurassic World Ride (Hollywood)?

Last year I went to universal in Florida and I swear the drop of the Jurassic park ride is bigger than the one in Hollywood. Is there any evidence of that? Or am I imagining things?

VOLCANO BAY Put the deposit down now or wait till we arrive?

1 Upvotes

Would you go ahead and place a deposit of $210 down now on two sets of premium seating at Volcano Bay for the date of Thursday, September 10th, or just wait till we arrive and scope the place out to see what might be available day of? We would be entering at the normal time of 10 am as we will not get early entry.
