      why don't you just do Rix Top 26 so you can get everything you need to in the video

    • @RixFlix
      @RixFlix  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      OMG, so funny just today we filmed a video about the all ages, all height rides at Magic Kingdom and it is a list of 26 plus. But otherwise 26 doesn't rhyme with rix...oh wait, it does, dang it.

      Rix Flix no IOA?

      @thrieedee5152 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I was wondering that. I enjoy coffee my family and I are going in late July of this year 2021. I appreciate the videos 😇 just wondering what the right name of the universal studios app we need to download?

    I went to IOA yesterday to do Hagrid's for the first time. It definitely is the best coaster Universal has made. It was worth the 3 hours I waited. I also did Hulk for the first time. Now that I did Hulk and Hagrid,I have finally done every single Universal ride from both parks.

    • @slothers8685
      @slothers8685 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Shit 3 hours? I couldn't even wait 45 minutes for the hulk ride WITH the fast pass

    Great list. We have been annual pass holders at Disney for 4 years but with the recent price increase we are going to ditch them in favor of a Universal annual pass. This list will come in handy.

    • @TestimonyOfYeshua
      @TestimonyOfYeshua 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I have both and I really like to ditch Disney pass but we still enjoy Animal Kingdom so much and the weekday pass only went up 20$. For now, we keeping it. However, Universal is still #1 on our list
      The new Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland is a big disappointment. I was so excited anticipating its opening. The videos and the PRICES, not to mention all those restriction are a big let down

    I would recommend trying ALL the butterbeer products because they are all different, whether it be free texture or flavor. All I would say is that the butterbeer ice creme is A LOT, they give you WAY WAY WAY more than a one person serving hahahah! I gave half to my wife (newly wed at the time) and saw tons of other people just throwing away half or the very last bit or half off the top, it’s a lot of ice creme.

    I went to Universal Studios back on February 28th, 2019 and I had a blast; my fiance and I went together, I was lucky I got my picture with Optimus after getting off the ride, he was actually just finishing, but the NEST people had him wait because the next time was at 6pm and I was on the ride at 6pm! Small note I went on the Transformers ride 33 times!
    Thanks for the suggestions for my 2020 trip!

    Ripriderocket was not what i thought It would be. I felt so unsafe in the lapbar. It really felt like i could slip out from under it. I'm not that small so i cant even imagine how kids and skinnier people feel.

    • @randomspectator2580
      @randomspectator2580 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I’m very skinny and yes, the lap bar felt like it didn’t tighten enough, but that just added to the thrill!

    • @ThrilltimeHeadache
      @ThrilltimeHeadache 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      As a coaster enthusiast who has done countless hours of research on rollercoasters, Trust me, you’re fine. As long as you reach the height requirement. Each ride has been tested countless times, every single day, before the park open. The ride has never killed anyone or injured anyone, at all. The manufacturer made the coaster restraints made it that way so you will feel more open and free, which adds to the thrills. You are fine! You will not slip out :)

  • @everythiingmusiic
    @everythiingmusiic 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    My best tips for Universal Orlando:
    *(SIDE NOTE: This is pretty expensive but worth it!)*
    Purchase a room at one of the Universal Orlando resorts. (I recommend cabana bay for those who can afford it). Purchasing a room owned by Universal property will allow you to get early access to the parks at least an hour earlier than others who do not stay at one of their hotels. If you’re going to a new ride, make sure to purchase a ticket and a room as soon as possible! Last, make sure to eat and go to the bathroom before entering the park, because the queue for the rides can get massive very quickly. I hope this helped. Let me know if you have questions!

      They do have lockers up front you can rent for the day. But if it's just for a ride it works different. The small ones are free for a couple of hours but the large lockers have to be paid for and they are not for all day when they are ride lockers. All day lockers are at the front of the park.

    #2: I passed on Diagon Alley (still disappointed)
    #3: Me and my parents were not interested in street shows
    #4: We were only able to eat at Hard Rock Cafe in CityWalk (because my parents are rock enthusiasts) and Buffalo Wild Wings after our visit to Universal. I wanted to go to Fast Food Boulevard but my parents said no
    #5: Me and my dad only got a picture with the globe
    #6: I saw 3 meet and greet characters (the Penguins of Madagascar, Sideshow Bob, and SpongeBob)
