Living pretty close to the Orlando Resort and going quite often, even I was unaware of the majority of these details. I'm glad you shared these, because as often as people love to talk about the hidden details at Disney, Universal never seems to get the same level of love.
I got a question for you. I want to move down to Florida, somewhat near Orlando. Would that be worth it? Everyone talks shit about Florida but I think it's beautiful.
@@spartacussmith7070 I think it is. I moved here specifically because I wanted to go to Disney, Universal, and SeaWorld any time that I wanted. Not just that but the touristy things like all the different themed mini-golf, museums, restaurants, etc. The only issue that I have with Florida is the weather. It can get so unbearably hot and humid in the summer, but otherwise it's great as long as you're within a city or its suburbs. People do like to speak ill of Florida, as if there was anything to do in rural New York. I only really think they're justified if they're from California. That being said, my move wasn't a stretch because I came from Tampa and Orlando parks were only a two hour drive, and so the moving process was quite easier and cheaper than it would be for most people. But, if this is what you want, then it's worth it.
I don’t know if this is a thing already but I think it would be cool if at Moe’s the bartender (if there is one) would at random times pick up the hone and pretend as if Bart had asked for someone. They would then be able to choose from made up (or make their own) trick names to call for, realize what they are saying and get mad at Bart on the phone
Fun fact the london area where the trash cans say london aren't telling you where you are but rather the trash cans themselves are an accurate description of london as a whole
There’s a statue of King Kong in mummy ride, it’s located in the treasure room, towards the left you can see it clearly when the guards pop up, and the flames come up
Towards the top of the back side of the transformers building (the part across from the meet and greet section) you can find the text: ARK 1985. This is a reference to the original cartoon. In which the autobots awoke in their ship, the ark, in 1984.
Something I haven’t seen anybody else has noticed, towards the end of the transformers ride, after megatrons death. Look to your left immediately after you can see megatron in the ceiling. There is a yellow beetle that resembles G1 bumblebee by a pillar that says Level: G1. Just something fun I caught out of the corner of my eye, that I haven’t heard anybody else has noticed.
still sad that jaws is gone like its 1 of the best theme park rides ever and yeah its kinda for hp world but was it so hard to move hp or jaws a little
The problem was space. Universal does not have the many square miles of open land that Disney does. That is why Universal bought the old water park area (which is now the new Endless Summer resort, plus the future Epic Universe park). But, when they wanted to add more Harry Potter to the existing parks, they couldn't just make the park bigger, something had to go. Every time they add something new, something old has to go. I wish Kongftontation and Back to the Future were still around, personally.
Agreed, I miss that ride as well. I was one of the boat skippers that helped open that ride when it had been re-built. It was interesting going around Hogwarts and trying to find anything that was left of that and Earthquake (first ride I worked!)
The Men in Black ride is a favorite of mine from my childhood, and I went back with my mom a few years ago to find that it still holds up! Definitely very underrated 😊
We just got home from Disney and Universal. Funny, we found a few of these at Universal. I see you also visited in the time of masks, it was pretty busy. I wish it was as empty as you had in this video. I have to agree, the Forrest cue for ET is my happy place as well. I was so glad they haven’t changed it.
That compass used to be the epicenter of the original land plot that was bought for universal studios and islands of adventure. They've since grown the plot with new additions for the parks and hotels, but a team member brought my fiance and I up there one time after jamming to the ragtime gals and it was super neat! He told us about the geological center thing and all that. You have a great view of the park and the rip ride rocket!
Love this!! We just moved to central FL and the first thing we did was get our UOAP! Can't wait to learn all the little special secrets the parks have hidden throughout. (We're anxiously awaiting a certain resort to open back up it's annual pass service too, but... Universal definitely earned it's soft spot in my heart with it's handling of this whole bizarre time we're living in...)
Seriously right!? I fell in love with the updated Hulk Coaster train design, and now the VelociCoaster train is even better. Such a great eye for modern design.
Islands of adventure would be prefect for an Easter egg video especially with Velocicoaster opening soon. So few people know about the hidden doves in Port of Entry or the Horton hatches an egg photo op behind the Cat in the Hat gift shop.
Could you imagine if every ride queue has a hidden bunny or maybe every ride queue with a forest has a hidden bunny, because what if their is a hidden bunny in the Hagrids queue.
This was great! My boyfriend just got a job at universal studios, so i am going to be spending so much time there ☺️ I can’t wait to spot all these little details too!
If your boyfriend has any tips for getting a job there please let me know its been a dream but so far all I can find is bus driver jobs and I don't have the requisite training for that or a Class B license :(
My friends and I would literally just sit in the line and play with the mummy’s hidden traps and play for points on scaring people the line would be like 10 minutes and we be Gabe for almost an hour I miss pre-Covid
I read in book about early days of Mummy ride: the team members did a lot of the set direction in queue. And, dressed up and had mini-skits. I am guessing some of their ad hoc themeing is still there?
They should do stuff for the wheelchair folk, like interactive buttons or something, I know they're usually stuck at the exit area but it's not very fair for them...!
i never forget when i went to universal studio back when i was kid in the 90's... we were in the queue for ET, which wasnt busy, and i was recording our trip and was told to put the camera away as they werent allowed in the queue - everywhere esle was ok but not the staff on this ride
The attention to detail is unreal in this park! I live in the uk so when I first went to the Harry Potter section on the park I went into the red telephone box and if you look on the right of the phone you’ve got a list of names and area numbers for city’s and towns in England Just like the ones back in the uk!
There is a secret in diagon alley, that has yet to be said. A few workers know about it and its connected to the old park. Find it or mention it, and you'll be part of an exclusive club. Took me two trips.
the names in the windows are of real people, mostly from Creative. at 11 seconds in you showed a window for Tom Macht he was the first figure finish supervisor and did a bunch of development on the ET skins. He passed away shortly after returning from Universal studios Japan construction in 2000. That's why they made him the Paranormal travel agent.
I absolutely love seeing all the various easter eggs. One thing I would love is if they put a prop pizza slice and a pair of nun-chucks next to the NYC manhole covers; I know Universal doesn't have anything TMNT in the park, but it would still be a cute reference and it's vague that I doubt it would get Universal in trouble with Nick (the current rights holders of TMNT)
boy you just made this video awesome and i have been to universal Orlando 2018-2019-2020 to 2022 and i'm going this spring,summer,winter and fall.and I've never known these easter eggs!
Dont know if you know but if you go to the Restrooms in between the entrance of Fast and Furious and its gift shop, theres a punch in clock for the "Cannery" next to the park services restroom closet that has a bunch of names of upper management that opened the park
also the DeLorean has been updated with new cosmetics and features. stand by it and it makes sounds and even keeps track of the time with the green set of numbers!
and my last favorite Easter egg is in the Fast Food Boulevard restaurant, in the queue theres an area where you're able to pick up bottled soda and salads called "Lisa's Treehouse of Horrors" as a little nod to the Simpsons Halloween episodes
I remember seeing the bunny a long time ago when I was in queue for the ride. well one of them, the one in the front I saw and remembering it was so cute.
The Jaws music loop reminded me of the Tarzan treehouse in Disneyland; it still had the original music from when it was the Swiss Family Robinson treehouse.
You asked for it! Part Two of this video is now up: th-cam.com/video/G6I4bLsC-bw/w-d-xo.html
That's not just any party music in SpongeBob's house. It always plays Stadium Rave, calling back to the episode Jellyfish Jam!
That makes it even better!!!
I was about to comment asking if that’s what’s playing
The best
@Braydon Randall That's a scam, don't fall for it boys.
Also the first result on google is a reddit post about it being a scam sooo

I live in Miami which means it takes me 3 and a half hours to get to orlando by car and I’m going there next weekend
I don’t know if this is a thing already but I think it would be cool if at Moe’s the bartender (if there is one) would at random times pick up the hone and pretend as if Bart had asked for someone. They would then be able to choose from made up (or make their own) trick names to call for, realize what they are saying and get mad at Bart on the phone
I would too
that would be brilliant omfg
Please
Genius.
Universal really does a great job with their ride secrets
Special thanks to Stephany, Anthony, and the other Team Members that helped me in my travels for this video. You rock!
Have you seen Stoick the Vast in Universal Studios Florida?
i would love to see a donkey walk around costume just because
Fun fact the london area where the trash cans say london aren't telling you where you are but rather the trash cans themselves are an accurate description of london as a whole
At the leaky cauldron, we call our trash runs “london runs” lol
You can answer the phone at Moe's and the payphone outside Kwik-I-Mart.
There’s a statue of King Kong in mummy ride, it’s located in the treasure room, towards the left you can see it clearly when the guards pop up, and the flames come up
Yep...and to the right there is a banana in the back at the top.
Towards the top of the back side of the transformers building (the part across from the meet and greet section) you can find the text: ARK 1985. This is a reference to the original cartoon. In which the autobots awoke in their ship, the ark, in 1984.

@@ASTRO-ic4my I never noticed it myself, well done!
8:06 I can’t believe people are actually waiting in line for a fake phone booth 🤯😂
I think they were waiting for the bathroom
You can call The Ministry of Magic from it.
you can call the ministry of magic with it
You can call the ministry of magic in it
Photo op.
Did you know there’s magical creatures hidden in the darkest areas of the dark art’s classroom in the queue for the forbidden journey :)
I'll shine a torch in next time since I don't get to have my eyes adjust from all the lighting changes XD
I didn't know this, I'll have to look next time.
I got blasted with air the first time I was on the mummy let me say it scared the crap outta me
still sad that jaws is gone like its 1 of the best theme park rides ever and yeah its kinda for hp world but was it so hard to move hp or jaws a little

I wish Kongftontation and Back to the Future were still around, personally.
Another issue was the ride breaking down so much due to its age. They had to let the ride go sadly :( I loved that ride too as a kid
Agreed, I miss that ride as well. I was one of the boat skippers that helped open that ride when it had been re-built. It was interesting going around Hogwarts and trying to find anything that was left of that and Earthquake (first ride I worked!)
@@BDubzzzzzz omg just reminded me of tornado!! I used to love that ride too
That ride was so fucking boring, change my mind
...E.T will always haunt me in my dreams, childhood trauma, but I’ve always been made to go on it every time we went
The Men in Black ride is a favorite of mine from my childhood, and I went back with my mom a few years ago to find that it still holds up! Definitely very underrated 😊
Would love an Islands of Adventure vid as well!
I heard about a troll(?) under the bridge near Mythos but never heard or saw anything...
I used to work at the Springfield part of the Simpson restaurant.
Did someone say they want a Flaming Homer?
Please do a Part 2 of more Universal Studios Florida! 😊
OMG that's so cool about how they filmed the intro to All That in the park!
We just got home from Disney and Universal. Funny, we found a few of these at Universal. I see you also visited in the time of masks, it was pretty busy. I wish it was as empty as you had in this video. I have to agree, the Forrest cue for ET is my happy place as well. I was so glad they haven’t changed it.
Wow I never knew about the door handles at the MIB ride! I wish I would've touched the door handles when I still had an annual pass.
That compass used to be the epicenter of the original land plot that was bought for universal studios and islands of adventure. They've since grown the plot with new additions for the parks and hotels, but a team member brought my fiance and I up there one time after jamming to the ragtime gals and it was super neat! He told us about the geological center thing and all that. You have a great view of the park and the rip ride rocket!
Didn’t Moe’s Tavern also have a phone where you could hear Bart prank call Moe?
omg really? if you know where we can find this please let us know! too funny.
Apparently the fire effects for the Dragon in Hogwarts were repurposed from some of the fire effects of the JAWS ride.
Love this!! We just moved to central FL and the first thing we did was get our UOAP! Can't wait to learn all the little special secrets the parks have hidden throughout. (We're anxiously awaiting a certain resort to open back up it's annual pass service too, but... Universal definitely earned it's soft spot in my heart with it's handling of this whole bizarre time we're living in...)
Congrats on your move and have fun at Universal!
Yes do more of these! They give us reasons to go back in these parks
I liked how you shouted out Greg. The amazing work he does doesn't need to go without notice.
Seriously right!? I fell in love with the updated Hulk Coaster train design, and now the VelociCoaster train is even better. Such a great eye for modern design.
Great video! We absolutely need an IOA version :D
Same!
Hogsmeade, Jurassic Park, Seuss Landing, etc.!
The hilarious thing about the ministry of magic phone is that many kids just don't know how to dial a rotary phone these days.
The family ahead of me took it as an opportunity to teach their kids what a phone booth was. Even explained a phone book to them!
Islands of adventure would be prefect for an Easter egg video especially with Velocicoaster opening soon. So few people know about the hidden doves in Port of Entry or the Horton hatches an egg photo op behind the Cat in the Hat gift shop.
I like the A113 in universal, a nod to Disney as frenemies
Please do more!!! These are the kinds of things I try to find!
Hidden bunnies in the ET Queue, this is the content we DESERVE
Could you imagine if every ride queue has a hidden bunny or maybe every ride queue with a forest has a hidden bunny, because what if their is a hidden bunny in the Hagrids queue.
Knock on the door on the right, next to the brick entrance. Then look at the windows
Could tou clarify ?
I love theses types of videos. I've never been to many theme parks but it's cool to see the level of detail and attention.
when it comes to trash cans, the Orlando area is king.
perfect way to eat, and they're themed!
This was great! My boyfriend just got a job at universal studios, so i am going to be spending so much time there ☺️ I can’t wait to spot all these little details too!
If your boyfriend has any tips for getting a job there please let me know its been a dream but so far all I can find is bus driver jobs and I don't have the requisite training for that or a Class B license :(
@@JojiUrHomie He literally found the job through Indeed, but also he worked there a few years ago so I think that helped
@@Pandahluvr ah I see. Thank you
Man, now I wish I didn't always take the Express pass queue for Revenge of the Mummy - those interactive elements look really cool!
Wow. I've been going to the park since I was 6 and I never knew about the doors on MIB.
Our family misses our Universal trips so much! It’s been our designated “happy place” for many years. Despite the multistate drive or flight there.
Didn’t know the men in black door did that as a kid, I learned the hard way lol, scared the living hell out of me
Great hidden gems, thanks for sharing!
Don't wanna sound greedy, but a part two and an IOA video would be amazing XD Great work as always
More, more, more!!! I used to give production tours at Mummy so I love sharing and hearing more!
Universal Studios is a dream hometown park.
The Medjai symbol Easter egg in the Mummy queue will also play the NBC jingle if you trigger it multiple times.
Woah really?
I did the oxygen free one in MIB a few days ago and everyone around me got scared lol
My friends and I would literally just sit in the line and play with the mummy’s hidden traps and play for points on scaring people the line would be like 10 minutes and we be Gabe for almost an hour I miss pre-Covid
My brothers used to wear all black and scare people in line by sneaking up on them. It as always hilarious waiting in that queue.
This was great! I knew some of these but not all of them. Its nice to still hear new stuff! I'd love to see more!
Really enjoyed that. Subscriber gained.
I haven't even finished the video and I already want a part 2. I love the Universal Easter Eggs littered throughout the park
Man they put so much detail on these out of bounds characters such a cool easter egg
The employees on break in the staff area:👁️👄👁️
how can you look like such a neckbeard but act like a 14 year old tiktok user
I read in book about early days of Mummy ride: the team members did a lot of the set direction in queue. And, dressed up and had mini-skits. I am guessing some of their ad hoc themeing is still there?
I need more of the videos!!!!
The second owl is directly in the video! Lol It’s directly above the machine towards on your right.
That air blast in the Mummy queue blasted a pebble into my forehead once
Ive been many many times, but with a wheelchair in the group I have not been through many normal queues. This was cool!
They should do stuff for the wheelchair folk, like interactive buttons or something, I know they're usually stuck at the exit area but it's not very fair for them...!
i never forget when i went to universal studio back when i was kid in the 90's... we were in the queue for ET, which wasnt busy, and i was recording our trip and was told to put the camera away as they werent allowed in the queue - everywhere esle was ok but not the staff on this ride
the owl is right behind the umbrella.. i saw it in this video,
I'd love a part two!!
I agree about Men in Black. It's a great ride that inexplicably always has a short line.
Mib alien attack is the best ride there hands down, same with buzz light-year space ranger spin
Great video! More please!!!
Seeing the ET clips brings back so many memories!!!! That is one of the reasons I'd go to florida, just for that ride!!!
Same, I always go on the ride because it is amazing and just in case it goes away
These are awesome! More Easter eggs pls!
Can you make a islands of adventure version of this?
This is cool. Im pretty hands off when it comes to stuff like this so i never would have found these lol
I just went to Universal in August and it was so fun and the ride waiting times were so short
Saw the Medjai symbol in the Mummy queue just yesterday. Cool hidden gem and another great video Alicia!
The attention to detail is unreal in this park! I live in the uk so when I first went to the Harry Potter section on the park I went into the red telephone box and if you look on the right of the phone you’ve got a list of names and area numbers for city’s and towns in England Just like the ones back in the uk!
This would be so cool to point out to people in your party. Please do more and for IOA too
There is a secret in diagon alley, that has yet to be said. A few workers know about it and its connected to the old park. Find it or mention it, and you'll be part of an exclusive club. Took me two trips.
I assume we have to figure it out ourselves?
That’s so cool love
The mummy one 😂
the names in the windows are of real people, mostly from Creative. at 11 seconds in you showed a window for Tom Macht he was the first figure finish supervisor and did a bunch of development on the ET skins. He passed away shortly after returning from Universal studios Japan construction in 2000. That's why they made him the Paranormal travel agent.
The only one I knew was the MIB doors, but that is because of your podcast with the ride creator. Do an IoA one next!

So much of this has been added since the last time I went.
I remember seeing the bunny a long time ago when I was in queue for the ride. well one of them, the one in the front I saw and remembering it was so cute.
This was a terrific presentation! Thanks!
I am going to Universal next year and I am going to check out, just about every single one!
You gotta do a second part to this vid, so cool man!
2:17 SO THATS WHY I ALWAYS FELT BLASTS OF AIR IN THE MUMMY QUEUE
2:39 - it's an optical illusion done by a concave mirror -- it's not a hologram :)
I’m surprised you didn’t bring up the part where you can get custom music on rip ride rockit
I’m saving hidden things that are actually on the rides for another video!
Love the video! Can never get enough easter eggs!
TELL STELLA TO COVER MORE DISNEY STUFF! BABA BOOEY!
The Jaws music loop reminded me of the Tarzan treehouse in Disneyland; it still had the original music from when it was the Swiss Family Robinson treehouse.
Thanks for making this! i hope you do one for Island of Adventure!
I did the VIP tour back in 2018, the compass in the Jimmy Fallon ride is the exact center of the park we were told be the tour guide.
I want both a part 2 and an IOA version!
Loved this!! Please do a part 2 and one on IOA.
Another Universal Studios one, if you go to 12 Grimmauld Place and bang on the door a few times Creature will appear in the window.
This is dope this video needs more views
Thanks for the video! I'm sure IOA have lot of hidden gems that could be shared in a special video!
Of course I see this after I go there
this is awesome! i will for sure be looking out for these easter eggs 🥳
