Switch out villaincon for MIB. It’s a way better “ride”. Actual theming and a much better shooting game. You can go to the arcade and play something just like villaincon. 😅
As a guy with an annual pass I can say I've probably ridden Mib more than anything else other than dr doom since i've never waited more than 5 min for either in single rider
Finally!! Disney isn’t what it use to be and I have been watching way more Universal TH-cam videos. Good to see you finally have some content for me to watch. Now checking out your food videos in Universal now.
It's been that way for over three years. I tried to book a ticket to Disney three years ago and the prices were so outrageous that I cancelled everything and did the one thing the Mouse would hate: I went to his enemy Universal...
I didn't even know universal wasn't part of disney😂🫣 ive never been to the parks, but I figured since they were so close, they were owned by the same people.
I've had E.T. say my name. It's a longtime favorite of mine in large part because E.T. was the last movie I saw with my father in the theaters. Not long after that he got cancer and died years later... so E.T. has a very special place in my heart. I don't think I've ever had a visit to a Universal park with an E.T. ride and not gone on! (Universal Hollywood hasn't had the E.T. ride for a long time).
I don't know if they still do it, but back in the day you'd give your name to a staffer as you walked in and they'd give you a card. I seem to think you gave the card to the loading team, and they'd scan it in - and then E.T. would say the names at the end.
I don’t mean to be this guy, but Hagrid’s dog is Fang. Fluffy is the 3-headed guard dog that is locked on the third floor of Hogwarts Castle in Harry’s first year.
I love the UO coverage. We will definitely need a good HHN video this fall. I prefer Transformers to Spider-Man but they are both must-rides. I would inclue MIB in the rankings
Bilge Rat Barges was our last ride of the day during our April 2023 trip. I promptly bought a T-shirt before leaving to change into so I wouldn’t have to sit in the car soaking wet 😂
E.T. For the win! Thank you! This is my favorite ride too. When I ride this, I feel like I went to the green planet, and I finally understand why ET wanted to go home so bad. It’s like the sequel to the movie! Also, big love to the practical sets and old school animatronics.
MiB will always be one of our all time favorites. We ride every time, over and over. It's in the top 5 rides there. As far as VC vs Hagrids, we vote VC for the win.
This video got me pumped up for my next trip to Universal Orlando! The top 10 rides look absolutely amazing, and I appreciate the detailed insights you provided.
For Hagrids ride me and my mom only had to stand in line for 45 minutes because on the app it said it was delayed on Tuesday, and we went on the Wednesday after Tuesday so it was a win because I’ve seen that ride at a 150 minute wait
Love some Universal content! I knew what ride it was based on the lockers the video was showing lol. My top-10 rides are: 1. Hagrid's (motorbike is better imo) 2. Velocicoaster (row 11 is best imo) 3. Escape from Gringotts 4. Hulk (front row is best imo) 5. Rip Saw Falls 6. JPRA 7. MIB 8. Revenge of the Mummy 9. High in the Sky Seuss Trolley Train Ride 10. Transformers Rip Ride Rockit would make it if Universal refurbished it. It wasn't as rough before and now it gives me a headache
Popeyes’s is definitely one of the best. It helps to ride swim wear and bring a change of clothes. We love to ride it multiple times along with Ripsaw Falls and Jurassic River Adventure this way we get our fill of water rides before changing.
Long time Spidey ride fan here: it's a wonderful experience and I'm happy it made it to the list! And I recommend MIB for anyone that likes Villaincon!!
@dfbguide Love the Universal Orlando content for sure! Any chance you could review The Palm at Hard Rock, or Bice at Portofino Bay? I was thinking about checking those out next time I stay at UO. Thanks in advance for any info!
1. Velocicoaster 2. Hagrid’s (esp. at night, bike side) 3. Rip Ride Rocket (underrated) 4. Forbidden Journey 5. The Mummy 6. ET 7. Hulk 8. Gringott’s 9. Jurassic Park River Adventure 10. Transformers (or Spider-Man, but this just is slightly more exciting to me).
I went on the ET ride when it was linked to a breakfast, you bought the breakfast and got early entry onto the ride.... Only thing is I was soooo scared of ET! I didn't open my eyes once. I was 4.
AJ...another terrific Theme Park video ;but afraid as much as i luv Harry Potter Films & The Mummy franchse I am not a roller coaster afficiando! Too much motion sickness for me & my wife. However would still be interested in visting Universal Orlando sometime...years ago my only visit to their Southern Cal Park went well & really I enjoyed the the ET attraction. Afraid I am stricken w a Pixie Dust addiction which will always be my main issue...!
I remember for velocicoaster, after the second launch and you reach the top hill, I looked at my girl and just yelled "oh baby " in despair.... 2nd best coaster I've ever been on... Nitro still does it for me at 1st
I’ve been to universal and island of adventure 3 times on the same month and I’m going again next month on my birthday, I really love universal parks, my favorites from universal studios are the revenge of the mummy, jimmy fallon, transformers, fast and furious and Harry Potter and the escape from gringotts 😅 and my favorites from island of adventure are spider man, velocicoster, Dudley do’rights ripsaw falls, hagrids and Jurassic park river adventure, when I tell you I’m obsessed i mean it 😄
This whole time I thought the amazing adventures of spider man closed in Orlando so I was confused to see it here and after some research I was super happy to see it wasn't closed in Orlando. The past 2 months I've thought that only Japan had It now but turns out it was the opposite way around
1) Hagrids 2) Velocicoaster 3) The Mummy 4) Forbidden Journey 5) Escape from Gringotts 6) Spider-Man 7) Men in Black 8) Jurassic World River Adventure 9) ET 10) Popeye
I was just there for the first time. Three rides I think deserve an honorable mention are the Transformers ride and Simpsons Krusty Coaster(both similar to the Spiderman ride) and the MIB ride! My favorite rides by far are the Mummy returns and Harry Potter's Forbidden Journey!!
I just went earlier this month! my top ten would be 1. Hagrid's 2. Mummy 3. Velocicoaster 4. E.T. 5. Forbidden Journey 6. Gringotts 7. Hulk 8. Jurassic Park River 9. Spider-Man 10. MIB Poseidon's Fury was a top five attraction for me but they shut it down. Boo!
1. Transformers (I have a bias, but still a great ride) 2. Hagrids 3. Forbidden Journey 4. Mummy 5. Spiderman 6. Gringotts 7. Velocicoaster 8. Jurassic Park 9. MIB 10. ET
Popeye's is awesome. My family ride it multiple times in a row, since you know, we're already soaking wet, might as well enjoy it. I always say "if you don't get off this ride sopping wet, the ride broke."
10:34 I really really wished that one time when “Marc with a C” told the team member his name that ET was going to say it verbatim… ET: “Mark with a C…” Was it too much to ask for? lol
I understand that people are surprised to see a Marvel land in Universal. They'll be thinking, Doesn't Disney own the rights? Well, that is 100% true. I did some research and there is some weird ex post-facto clause in the contract. If Universal maintains the land without expanding it with more Marvel attractions, they are within their rights to keep it up. So there's no real danger of the entire thing being demolished if the Mouse sends an angry cease and desist letter... The contract would probably have to be taken to claims court and resettled with a new one drawn up.
I have to mention Simpsons (because nobody else is)!!! Justice for Simpsons!! Also Transformers, rip saw falls, flight of the Hippogriff. I agree with the list except for ET sorry
MIB is a good ride too. Has some of the best A/C available at Universal. Nice break from the heat.
No joke. When it's sweltering hot outside, I find myself heading to MIB just to cool off. I suck at the actual game, but it's a great time
Right?!? I was so shocked they didn't mention MIB
Hagrids vs. Velocicoaster is such a hard pick 😂 I love both! Also, im loving the universal content!
Switch out villaincon for MIB. It’s a way better “ride”. Actual theming and a much better shooting game. You can go to the arcade and play something just like villaincon. 😅
MIB Alien Invasion. Best arcade like ride in Universal
As a guy with an annual pass I can say I've probably ridden Mib more than anything else other than dr doom since i've never waited more than 5 min for either in single rider
Men in Black is our favorite! It's so much fun and the A/C is amazing
i love watching these videos knowing i won’t be going to disney world or universal in at least 5 years
Literally me
@@cueiogamedevs4972 they’re so addictive
hey might as well start preparing 5 years in advance, right?
I AM there RN!!! 😮🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@Rose92872sameee

"disney isnt what it used to be" thats so funny omg
I’m a motorbike person and am very lucky that my travel companion is a sidecar person
Mummy is my favorite coaster in the park. Sit in the front if it is your first time.
Me too! I love Mummy!
I rode mummy on a rainy morning last week and got a whole car to myself!
I always ride the Mummy whenever I go, even if it's cold and raining outside.
💯💯 loved it!
i found out it was a coaster the hard way…
I like how you explained the intensity of the rides
I've had E.T. say my name. It's a longtime favorite of mine in large part because E.T. was the last movie I saw with my father in the theaters. Not long after that he got cancer and died years later... so E.T. has a very special place in my heart. I don't think I've ever had a visit to a Universal park with an E.T. ride and not gone on! (Universal Hollywood hasn't had the E.T. ride for a long time).
Et said my name too “Hardy”… yes that is my name.
How does it get your name exactly? Pretty sure it happened to me also
I don't know if they still do it, but back in the day you'd give your name to a staffer as you walked in and they'd give you a card. I seem to think you gave the card to the loading team, and they'd scan it in - and then E.T. would say the names at the end.
Yes more universal studios!
Love this! My husband and I are Universal fans. I would love to see a video on your favorite restaurants/food in Universal.
Love that ur broadening your content and including the best kept secret in Orlando... UNIVERSAL STUDIOS!
I don’t mean to be this guy, but Hagrid’s dog is Fang. Fluffy is the 3-headed guard dog that is locked on the third floor of Hogwarts Castle in Harry’s first year.
I love the UO coverage. We will definitely need a good HHN video this fall. I prefer Transformers to Spider-Man but they are both must-rides. I would inclue MIB in the rankings
Same I love that ride and it always has a low wait
No way they actually put Minion Blast in the top 10 lmao. This is why Disney people can't be trusted with Universal coverage.
😂😂
We’ve lost the channel to commercialization .. $ to put certain things on lists
Literally, minion blast kinda sucks
😂😂
Rip saw falls! It's my favorite ride!
You must take several extra pairs of socks lol
Love Rip Saw Falls too. I think it’s really campy and just a well done flume ride
Ngl that ride scared me way more than the Jurassic Park ride 😂
@@josh3658edwards yeah that drop is a lot more elongated than the Jurassic Park
MIB > Space Ranger Spin
And Kong needs a shoutout for that last animtronic alone
Bilge Rat Barges was our last ride of the day during our April 2023 trip. I promptly bought a T-shirt before leaving to change into so I wouldn’t have to sit in the car soaking wet 😂

one time it was a heavy downpour in Islands, I got in line for Hagrids as the rain slowed and had a waaaaay short wait
MIB and Dudley Do-Right are both amazing rides and Top 10 for me.
MiB will always be one of our all time favorites. We ride every time, over and over. It's in the top 5 rides there. As far as VC vs Hagrids, we vote VC for the win.
AJ’s favorite Harry Potter ride is actually Flight of the Hippogriff, but it didn’t make the list 😔
We were less than 10 people from the front gate for rope drop, and we had about a 15 minute wait for Hagrids. Score!
This video got me pumped up for my next trip to Universal Orlando! The top 10 rides look absolutely amazing, and I appreciate the detailed insights you provided.
I love Hagrid 🔥🔥🔥
For Hagrids ride me and my mom only had to stand in line for 45 minutes because on the app it said it was delayed on Tuesday, and we went on the Wednesday after Tuesday so it was a win because I’ve seen that ride at a 150 minute wait
Honestly couldve split this between studios and islands. Missing some bangers
A J, can you do videos from sea world, and bush gardens ?
Love some Universal content! I knew what ride it was based on the lockers the video was showing lol. My top-10 rides are:
1. Hagrid's (motorbike is better imo)
2. Velocicoaster (row 11 is best imo)
3. Escape from Gringotts
4. Hulk (front row is best imo)
5. Rip Saw Falls
6. JPRA
7. MIB
8. Revenge of the Mummy
9. High in the Sky Seuss Trolley Train Ride
10. Transformers
Rip Ride Rockit would make it if Universal refurbished it. It wasn't as rough before and now it gives me a headache
Very curious to know what personal belongings are NOT permitted on rides. Can I take a POV camera? e.g., GoPro on any ride? Cell phone?
Yesssss! keep the universal content coming❤
Popeyes’s is definitely one of the best. It helps to ride swim wear and bring a change of clothes. We love to ride it multiple times along with Ripsaw Falls and Jurassic River Adventure this way we get our fill of water rides before changing.
Long time Spidey ride fan here: it's a wonderful experience and I'm happy it made it to the list! And I recommend MIB for anyone that likes Villaincon!!

9. Jurassic Park River Adventure
10. Transformers (or Spider-Man, but this just is slightly more exciting to me).

I went on the ET ride when it was linked to a breakfast, you bought the breakfast and got early entry onto the ride.... Only thing is I was soooo scared of ET! I didn't open my eyes once. I was 4.
AJ...another terrific Theme Park video ;but afraid as much as i luv Harry Potter Films & The Mummy franchse I am not a roller coaster afficiando! Too much motion sickness for me & my wife.

I remember for velocicoaster, after the second launch and you reach the top hill, I looked at my girl and just yelled "oh baby " in despair.... 2nd best coaster I've ever been on... Nitro still does it for me at 1st

I’ve been to universal and island of adventure 3 times on the same month and I’m going again next month on my birthday, I really love universal parks, my favorites from universal studios are the revenge of the mummy, jimmy fallon, transformers, fast and furious and Harry Potter and the escape from gringotts 😅 and my favorites from island of adventure are spider man, velocicoster, Dudley do’rights ripsaw falls, hagrids and Jurassic park river adventure, when I tell you I’m obsessed i mean it 😄

Men In Black is a great dark ride for everyone! Fun and interactive
Popeye's is awesome. My family ride it multiple times in a row, since you know, we're already soaking wet, might as well enjoy it. I always say "if you don't get off this ride sopping wet, the ride broke."

I Went To Universal For My Gradbash in 2022
10:34 I really really wished that one time when “Marc with a C” told the team member his name that ET was going to say it verbatim…
ET: “Mark with a C…”
Was it too much to ask for? lol
Go to Hagrids at lunch time.

Motorbike person I was just at Universal yesterday
