Skull Island over Rip Saw Falls is crazy
FR

Idk... it's personal preference in the end. I think it has to do with the overall vibe, even from the cue.
Im booking my 2024 holiday to Florida can’t wait. This channel has really help me pick where to go and what type of accommodation to book
Thank you Robert! That's what I'm aiming for 😀
C u there! Booking 2024: ✅
I’m trying to move over to Florida I hope I can see you when I move more in 2030 ish
same
Express pass for disney and universal are a must if you want to save time and see all the parks
Riding Hagrid’s at night is a must do for every Harry Potter fan. Absolutely incredible.
👌
Just rode Velocicoaster yesterday and it was incredible! 🙌🏽
😁
@@TheFrugalBrit This rating was terrible
Yess I love it too ❤ that ride is the love of my life bro
Excellent video! What sets your videos apart from others is your excellent footage, attention to detail, and- mostly- highlighting the pros and cons of each item. Fantastic job. One of my favorite channels!
Thank you Josh! I try to avoid just making promos for the parks 👍
I have watched all of your videos.
You are absolutely fantastic in articulating all the information that anyone would need before visiting. Keep them coming bud and thank you!
Wow, thank you 😁
Favourite videos these! All your videos are just so rewatchable, Keep it up mate👍
I know I keep saying this, but I used to live there and I find your videos more informative than many from locals. Beautiful, helpful, and fun video as always! 🎉👍🏼🌹
Glad you enjoy them, appreciate the support as always 😁
Another great video.
You were such a help to us in the build up to our orlando holiday at xmas.
Great tips and advice on where to be, eat and shop.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you Kevin, pleased that you had a good trip 😁
Another excellent informative and enjoyable to watch video from Frugal Brit!
Thank you Suzanne 😁
Fantastic footage and great production as ever - thanks for the hard work! Have to admit I'd probably have Dr Doom's Fear Fall in my top 10 (possibly at No. 10) assuming its not more than a 15 or 20 min wait! But makes sense to have a ride in there from the often over looked Seuss landing! Its only when you try to narrow it down to a top 10 that its apparent what a great line up IoA has!
Much appreciated! Yeah I almost turned it into a top 15 😂
Great video mate, always been a huge fan
Thank you Santiago 😁
These videos are my happy place. Thank you so much Frugal Brit!
Thank you Jordan! Glad you enjoy them 😁😁
The best analysis of Orlando Rides. Great commentary.. thanks Frugal Brit.
Much appreciated 👍😁
Visiting Orlando (Or even America) for the first time this September! Beyond excited.
You're in for a treat! Its going to be so much fun!
Hope you have the best trip 😁
Great video again 👍
We returned from Florida last Friday after a 3 weeks holiday. We managed to get on all the rides we wanted at Disney & Universal.
It was out first return in 5 years, we had a fantastic time.
Velocicoaster in the dark was absolutely mad & brilliant, the best coaster I've ever been on, and the wait was only 30 mins. Hagrids was also a cracker, about 50 mins we waited following your tips from earlier videos.
Universal are going from strength to strength, they are definitely the parks to go to for teens 14 plus and adults, and with Epic just around the corner we'll be hopefully returning
I'm sure it was great to be back!
THANKS FOR SHARE GOOD VIDEO , THAT HELP ME A LOT FOR VISIT THE RIDES SPOTS .👍🏼
No problem 👍😁
Thank you so much for your videos , we are going for 4th of july… can’t wait
Your videos are very helpful … thank you
Very welcome Erika! Hope you have the best trip 😁
Great to hear your voice! The Hulk and Velocicoaster give me temporary headaches when getting off, but worth getting on for the thrill. Cat in the Hat is an awesome ride too. I prefer it over the trolley. I have yet to get on the water rides. I’ll try Dudley Do Right next time. Great video as usual! Take care my fav Frugal Brit!
Thank you Jenina! Yeah I struggle with coasters these days 🙈
Love the water rides here 😁
Awesome choices!
👍😁
im going on this friday so thanks😁
Just left Orlando a few days ago , used your videos to plan our trip , fantastic resource and you give such good summaries of all the theme parks and accomodation , best coaster overall guardians in Epcot , velocicoaster is frightening but amazing , avatar was incredible in animal kingdom (which I think is disneys best park after thinking it’d be the worst), enjoyed Everest too
Thank you for that 😁
Looking to go to universal studios and Island of adventure in April or May, with small children age 7, how is it as far as ride.....is it rides convient and not scary for them
really liked the vid this is my next vacation!
I’m going in 5 weeks!!! I can’t wait!
Love these videos! I had a particularly bitter experience with the Ripsaw Falls because of the long-leg situation, and the ride broke down right before the second drop. I also agree with your rating of Kong, because even though the cue is amazing, I feel like a coaster or even the River Adventure style would've worked better instead of a simulation.
Yeah I agree, whilst decent as far screen based attractions go, much prefer river adventure. Thanks for watching 😁
Just back from universal on hols. Your top ten 10 predictions are very accurate. Fair play.
Thank you I’m going tmr and this is help
Rode velocicoaster for the first time last week… incredible ride !!
The best! 😁
Am going there soon and this really helped me to do while am there! ❤
Have fun! 😁
Another awesome video, I'll be there from memorial day until the end of that first week in june! Been watching all your videos.
Amazing! Hope you have the best trip, appreciate you watching 😁
I’d maybe have river journey above Spider-Man. Aside from that, I agree. I braved the hulk last year for the first time….and loved it!!
Yeah I’d say I’m more attached to River Journey but felt like Spider-Man was the better ride overall.
Don't worry; the Hulk is a Bolliger & Mabillard design--silky smooth and fast. Yeah, it's intense--that launch into a zero-gravity roll is incredible.
The first few seconds of the Hulk are fantastic, but that's also the downside - the rest of the ride never quite matches up. What makes Velocicoaster so exceptional that, if anything, the second half of the ride is even better than the first. Nice to see Spiderman so high up - it's still brilliant. I'd put the Hogwarts Express in the top 10, though
@@mikepalmer8 My cardiologist has informed me that roller coasters are no longer on my menu--which is a shame, because I really enjoy them.
I literally just cried when I found my favorite childhood ride Poseidon Fury closed down. in tears. this ride fueled my connection to greek mythology which there aren't many attractions in the world that serve that desire. besides the obvious of going to europe
Sad times! Yeah I have a trip to Athens on my bucket list 📋
Cheers 😊
Very welcome 😁
This is so incredible
😁
I remember being wowed by Spider-Man ride, and loving forbidden journey years ago. However, I did get slightly woozy after trying Forbidden Journey recently. Prefer escape from Gringotts. And Motorbike adventure is completely exhilarating! Thanks for,this video.
Agree with everything you said 👍
I never get motion sickness and Forbidden Journey made me woozy.
Oh I can confirm the motion sickness was real on Harry Potter and the forbidden journey 😂
It was a cool ride though
Not gonna lie, closed my eyes for the screen bits last time!
Im getting ready to go back there in late july this year cant wait to ride Hagrids its prob one of my fav rides there so cant wait to ride it again
'Anyone who doesnt rate this ride should probably be ignored'. Great stuff as always mate!!
biggest issue with velocicoaster is that the once quiet, and seldom visited water front (technically smokers section) is now only accessible while waiting in the queue above a 2 hr wait.
In my youth I used to go there to just chill. The ride is fun though, I give it that.
Very true good point. I’m quite partial to the waterfront bit near me ship the olive.
Another great video 👏. I have not been to Universal or IOA since 2012 and were heading there this summer! Hulk as always been my No1 coaster anywhere, cant wait to try some of the newer rides and take the kids on there first Universal holiday. Looking forward to more of your vids and helpful tips 👍
Thank you Jason! Always loved Hulk, but I remember it nearly killed my dead when I was a kid. Felt like he never recovered for the rest of the holiday 😂
@The Frugal Brit - Orlando oh dear, yeah I'm a bit worried now im in my forties lol. Hope your recent trip went well?
Great thanks, kids spoilt rotten, my youngest was able to get on Hagrid’s by a hair’s breadth which was nice. Preferred staying at universal compared to Disney.
@The Frugal Brit - Orlando Fantastic did they enjoy it? my youngest is too short, but tall enough for Jurrassic Park River Adventure (Dinosaur mad) so excited. We got 14 days at Cabana bay so really excited 😊
@@JasonHornbuckle-ti5fw yeah they loved it! We stayed at CB too, hope you have a awesome trip 😁👍
Just went there and it was the best
👌
It’s my belief that Hagrid’s and VelociCoaster are the two best rides in all of Orlando
Yes
Hagrids is over rated it is definitely not worth the wait
Velocicoaster queue line was just as amazing as the ride itself.
i’m booking my holiday in october 2023 and we are thinking of going to hhn too but this helps incredibly!!
Popeye and Pluto's is also a social ride. It's fun teasing whoever just soaked and figuring out who is gonna get it next.
That’s exactly what we do!
Hey! Your videos are great. Do you have any advice on carrying phones/bags at the parks and water parks?
Thank you Chris!
For phones, I only wear shorts with zippers to keep things secure. Fanny pack also good way of keeping phone secure.
Re bags, pack as light as possible as the lockers you use for the roller coasters are very small 👍
FB what is there not to like here . Love,love……love all these rides 👍
I’ve only been back 7 days and I miss it already 😢
Hulk and velocicoaster are very intense!
FINALLY, ONE TH-camR THAT DOESN’T PUT HAGRIDS AS #1!!! You EARNED my sub!
💪
I personally put it at 2, where do ya'll put it
4:19 the Boston Tea Party at Canobie Lake Park in NH gets you a lot more wet, even if you aren't on the ride yourself
Oh wow, I’ll check out that out!
Great stuff as always. Hope you reach the 50k milestone soon! Question, would you allow me to use any of your content on my own roller coaster channel if I give you proper source credit?
Thank you Kevin! Which channel is it?
@@TheFrugalBrit I just created the channel and I’m currently working on video scripts! The channel is @Coaster411.
@@kevinmorris6984 Go for it! Good luck :)
@@TheFrugalBrit Thanks so much! Keep up the great content
I was at the park when VelociCoaster first opened and I regret not riding it back then.
That’s a shame!
Can you make a video of your top 10 rides at universal studios
I really wanted to, but the timing of the new minion’s ride has been very awkward 😢
I’ll be there in just over a week!
1. Velocicoaster
2. Hagrids bike
3. Hulk
4. Dr dooms fear fall
5 bilgerat barges
6 flight of hippogriph
7 Jurassic park river adventure
8 one fish red fish
9 cat in the hat
10. Kong
That’s how I’d rate them
Interesting!
Are the water rides year long ? Going January into February
Cramped is the perfect word to describe RIpsaw falls LOL I'm 6'4 & I had to twist my legs into a pretzel to fit
We have met Velociraptor in Universal! 👊🏼🦖
I'm so excited I'm leaving This Thursday
Valhalla in Blackpool gets you more soaked than Popeye!
😂
I’ll have to try that when I’m there in a few weeks 👍
ayeee
😁
I think all the rides are good at universal very fun and immersive
IOA is hands down the most thrilling and fun park you will ever witness. There is nothing like it
my family is planning to possibly go to universal, im scared to go on the bigger more intense rides mostly because im scared ill puke. which wouldnt be fun for me or other people on the rides.. im gonna try though
The key is to go off season on a weekday when the kids are in school. Lines are nearly non existent. I've never stood in line more than 45 minutes for Hagrids Coaster.
I love dudley do rights but can confirm that being just under 6ft 2 it is incredibly difficult to get in and out of.
Thanks mate. Excellent videos. We booking for Aug 2024. Found your channel the most helpful on TH-cam. My daughter will be 7. Can she do all the rides?
Much appreciated Marc! My 7 year old was able go to get on velocicoaster last week but only with a pair of air max lol. He turns 8 in August, average height. The minimum height is 1.3.
@The Frugal Brit - Orlando ok thanks. I've been showing my kids your videos. Probably not a good idea as they want to go now! It's going to be agonising wait until next year.
@@marcbester6624 amazing! Half the fun is looking forward to it 😁
nice video, but i would probably switch popeyes with dudley do rights and spider-man with the hulk coaster
Yeah I wouldn’t be mad with that 👍
Thanks for watching😁
I like 8 of them, but the hulk ride and the raptor ride looks too scary to go on. Also I’m wondering which rides are not right for people with epilepsy?
Good video. 👍. Going Florida this September. Are you allowed to wear chest strap for action camera on rides.?
Thank you Wolfy 😁
Unfortunately not they’re quite strict about filming on rides. Disney world are very laid back about it though.
Nope, was in Orlando last september and in Universal, no matter the ride, it was not allowed. Different story in Busch Gardens Tampa tho, there it was no issue with a chest strap and a gopro. Hope this helps.
@@Kodiarok thanks for the info. Just hoping to get some of the rides recorded at least for the memories. Like to get water parks to.
@@TheFrugalBrit I'm interested to hear more about the epic universal that's going to be opening I hear it could be around 2025.
I love rides and stuff the like the hulk does not bother me at all............The VC? no i screamed my head off clutching the bar as i felt i would fall out at any second.......I have never been on anything like it
Yeah it's always unsettling when you feel yourself coming away from the seat!
Rode the cat in the hat ride it was my favorite
Outside of the fact that I am Very partial to THE CAT IN THE HAT ride , and I’d probably swap that out with Popeyes Bilge Rat Barges (which I’ve never actually gotten to ride in five visits because it’s been closed EVERY SINGLE TIME!) and put it at #6 or so….this list is pretty spot-on what I’d choose for my own top ten (although I also would’ve swapped out the Seuss Trolley with the sadly-closed Poseidon’s Fury)
My wife and kids love the cat in the hat, but I’m always left feeling like Disney does that sort of stuff a lot better. Always seems to have a low queue though which is nice. Wish I’d done a top 15!
@@TheFrugalBrit other than mike and Sulley to the rescue in California adventure, cat in the hat has always been my favorite dark ride… can’t quite explain why it’s just always been fun and it always has been a reminder to me how good islands of adventure does everything!
Skull Island over Rip Saw Falls is crazy 2:17
Yeah that’s a tough one
Fun fact: Ripsaw Falls used to not have that lap bar
So all you could do was hang on for dear life
Needless to say, the drop was a bit exciting
My school is doing a gradventure field trip this may11th, I’m going to ride everything
Forbidden journey over hulk is absolutely wild
Updates I drive restaurant list on the horizon ? 👀
Might be doing something with I-Drive by the end of the year 👍
We've just come back after a 3 week holiday and you simply can't beat Millers.
Great service, food and prices.
We tried others but always ended up returning to Millers.
busch gardens tampa has a water ride where a fire hose practically shoots you in the faces lol
After not being able to fit on the rides I want to go on, I lost some weight and was able to go on the rides this year.
It's a first world issue, sure, but It felt like a minor milestone. I didn't want to miss out on anything at the park.
My favorites:
Hagrids Motorbike Adventure
Velocicoaster
Jurassic Park River Adventure
Incredible Hulk Coaster
Congrats! Keep going. ☺️
That’s awesome 😁 👏
Spiderman in 4th for me, Forbidden Journey 3rd. Other than that this is a pretty spot on list.
I love it when dorks who review these rides start by saying.. "I hope it's not to controversial"
What is an angry mob going to come to your house and threaten you over your number 1 pick?
My favourite is either the incredible hulk or the hagrid
I was just there 3 weeks ago and the trains did not take us through the cafe
They actually have two pathways for the train. Usually the one that goes through the cafeteria is closed.
Apologies, yeah as Luba mentioned, they don’t always run both lines.
What about Escape from Gringotts?!
That’s in USF 👍
The fact that when I went to island of adventure the velocicoaster was closed all day but opened right at the time I had to leave😒
I hate that!
I’ve been to the skull island ride, it isn’t scary in any way. The only downside is that the ride was SUPER SUPER loud, same thing with the fast & furious one in universal florida.
Rip ride rockit, doctor dooms fear fall
no rip ride rockit is absurd
Wrong park bro
I know I'm in the minority but I just love Dr Doom's Fear Fall. The fact that there is hardly ever more than 3 or 4 people in the single rider line means I've never waited more than about 5 minutes for it so I understand if you have kids or want to ride with your wife it's not worth waiting 30 minutes for a 35 second ride. I'd put it higher than most probably top 5, But Harry Potter wouldn't be on my list because I don't think I've ever not had to close my eyes half way through due to nausea.
Yeah I haven’t had my eyes open for the screen bits in a while!
Im glad it’s not the modern day Spider man. Keep it original
too many VR shaky ride
Hulk is way better than forbidden journey
Bros on steroids
Kong ride is shir. It’s bad as Fast & Furious ride on the other side.
Can honestly say that if Kong was removed, nobody would even miss it . Ride is so boring and underwhelming. Just terrible
Controversial, but I really liked dr dooms fear fall, I didn’t notice that you would be launched into the air.
When that happened I was stunned
That must have been crazy! 😂😂
@@TheFrugalBrit very nice video!
Skull Island over Rip Saw Falls is crazy
