ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ก.ค. 2024
- A few days ago, I got the chance to visit Universal Orlando for the first time since February and I was able to re ride basically everything there. I’ve been visiting Universal Orlando a lot and decided that it’s about time I ranked my top 10 favorite rides at both parks. That includes Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure. Keep in mind that this list is all my opinion, so not all of you will completely agree with the ranking of the attractions.

Tomorrow my son and I will be there! We go every February for 4 days. Its a blast and we create lots of memories. If my son should read this: I love you Oliver! You’re the best son EVER!!
Oliver is awesome :)
I was just there yesterday and we’re gonna be there for three more days so I just want to watch this
Wow!
Omg litarlly SAME
I’m going when it’s my birthday to Disney world universal sea world and bush gardens when is in a little less then 5 months
@Silvia Hoard how am I supposed to know if it’s gonna be crowded it’s technically a surprise for me so I don’t know what hotel we’re staying in my mom just told me we’re going
How is it
The Jurassic Park river adventure one gets way too overlooked. One of the rides that makes you feel the most like you're actually in the movie.
That was one of my favorites, I went into the single rider line and almost got in with no wait 💯💯
Agreed! And the animatronics still check out to this day
That’s my favorite ride from both parks bc I love the Jurassic Park franchise
That ride TERRIFIED me. Not bc of the designated ‘scary’ part with the T-Rex, but with just seeing the animatronic dinosaurs in the water, too much for my submechanaphobia
Dude this place has so many good memories, I’m definitely saving up to go back. It’s so nostalgic. Plus this is the place where you tell yourself “if only Disney could do this”
Lie
I agree, I would pick universal over Disney world any day. You have good taste my friend
@@ur_child4174 thx
I jus got back from Universal Orlando. I I’m a die hard Spider-man fan and that’s my ride. The part where the pumpkin bomb makes actual heat. How the SCOOP shakes when electro shocks you. You get wet when hydro man appears. The story is awesome. Doctor Octopus shutting us in the air is just crazy! Then that final drop where I actually thought I would die.
New subscriber here! I must say it's really cool to see other people out there who love theme parks as much as I do. Keep the videos coming! :)
Thanks man! I appreciate it a lot! I’ll continue to pump out more content! :)
Just got back from our first trip to Orlando. You are dead on. Hagrid and the Mummy are king. We rode these over and over. The lines were super short. Even Hagrid was only about 30 minutes
Nathan Greer That is so awesome to hear! Thanks for sharing your experience!
I went to universal like 20 times
Loving the content man keep it up!
Glad you enjoy it!
Great list. I’m off to Universal very soon.
I wouldn’t go so far to call Hagrids a family coaster. More like a light coaster. It’s pretty fast and has sharp turns, but no inversions.
1) Velocicoaster (assumed)
2) Hulk
3) Hagrid
4) Forbidden Journey
5) Kong
6) Spider-man
7) Mummy
8) HRRR
9) Escape from Gringots
10) Dudley Do-Rights
Edit: Velocicoaster is by far number 1. So glad i got to ride!
GREAT LIST!! :)
Awesome list!
I’ve only ever been to Universal Studios Hollywood but my favorite ride there along with my favorite ride of all time is the Studio Tour.
My Other favorites are Forbidden Journey, Transformers, and Revenge of the Mummy even though it looks nowhere near as good as the Orlando version.
I am going to universal in a week ! i needed this so bad thanks!
I was at universal and islands of adventure a few weeks ago, and the whole experience was incredible. Velocicoaster wasn't supposed to open until June 10, but it was actually open. It is my second favorite ride in any of the parks. Nothing beats the Hulk ride tho.
Hulk is a GREAT RIDE!! 😁
Always take a picture of the row number in the garage where you park
Hulk is one of my favorites but the way it takes u side to side gives me a headache every time but it is a very good ride
Simeon threw up on hulk today lol
Someone
Hagrid‘s magical creature motorbike Adventure was my favorite to especially because I got to ride the motorcycle :>
not worth the wait time and the many times its broken down :( The wait is so brutal that when u get there the ride just didnt out weigh the pain. The mummy is better.
I’m going here for a field trip and I needed this! Thanks
No problem! Have fun on your field trip!! 😁😁
@@ThemeParkHorizons thanks!
Just got back from there and I rode the velocicoaster... number 1 by far on my list
I haven't been since about 2003, interesting to see the men in black and spiderman ride are basically the same. I plan on going this summer
Make sure to check out the Bourne Stuntacular! It’s a new show that opened recently and it’s AMAZING
@@ThemeParkHorizons kind of a shame it had to replace the classic terminator show. Can’t wait to check it out this summer tho
@@arnaldogonzalez1678 terminator show got boring
@@ThemeParkHorizons I saw the show a few hours ago. It was pretty neat. Going back to actually ride some stuff later in the day. :]
Love the rankings. I just visited in Dec. 2021 and agree with most of your rankings. I just gotta complain that the Jurassic Park ride isn't #1. The super fast, multiple-upside-down ride was the best ride out of all the Disney and Universal parks. It was so good. But yeah.
My top 10:
1- The Hulk
2- Revenge of the mummy
3- Spider-Man
4- Hollywood rip ride rokit
5- Kong
6- river adventure
7- ET
8- transformers
9- simpsons
10- forbidden journey
I agree with you on journey to the forbidden being dead last. Never in my life did i feel like wanting to throw up on a ride so bad. Left feeling dizzy and sick for hrs after that ride.
@@MrInzombia aww poor baby
I just went to Universal Studios last week, and the VelociCoaster was so smooth and solid. I rode the roller coaster, and it was a blast of thrill, suspense, and intensity. For me, I would put the ride for first or second place.
Also, I love the Popeye and Bluto's Bilge Rat Barges. You will be placed in a small "boat" with a seat belt, and eight seats for your friends or family to expedition with you. There is a safe mat to store all loose articles when the action occurs (cameras, devices, etc.). Then, you will be went down a river, and may be hit by rocks and more. Many splashing and waterfalls will be in the ride. Although you will get soaked and quite wet during the ride, it's an excellent ride to experience when the temperature is blazing hot. Don't worry, there are a few dryers outside of the attraction, which may support drying you.
@@MrInzombia if you have easy dizziness and sickness health problems, you should have viewed the safety guidelines before taking the ride.
The velocicoaster >
Saving for my guide to my first trip to universal on December 10th with my choir at school!!!
I'm going to Florida in May so I'm really excited and I really wanna go to Universal studio, so this video is getting me very excited
Yesterday I went on the hulk roller coaster. At first I was a little scared but when I got on I was like Oh my GOSH THIS IS SO FUUUUUNNNN
In my opinion your just about right hagrids is amazing, my favorite
It’s a really fun ride!!
TYSM IM DOING A STATE FAIR PROJECT AND I HAVE FLORIDA AND THIS HELPED SO MUCH!!!
Glad I can help!! :)
@@ThemeParkHorizons and the legend responds😊
And yet here we are with velocicoaster open!
We were there from July 20th til July 27th and it was a great time. Will be back next year. Favorite ride was definitely Hagrids magical creatures motorbike.
Yes we went there on like july 11th sooo good hagrids is the best ride
Revenge of the Mummy is my favorite out of all but I've only been to Hollywood. Hagrids ride looks fun too!
yes !!! I rode both and the mummy to me still better than hagrid motorbike.
@@MrInzombia respectable but hagrids in insanely fun
I agree on your top three favorite rides/ coasters
Thanks man I wanted to see what I should go on since I’m going in a couple days. I’m not the biggest fan of drops but if there’s only a couple I’m fine
I’m going in a couple days too! Hope you have fun! 😁
I want to go here so bad, but I’m gonna wait
Just left universal today I loved it I had speed pases and went on the mummy and other rides multiple times I love hagrids moterbike ride and the mummy the most but the rollercoasters are awesome as well. I didn’t go on the new velociraptor roller coaster but it’s first on my list to go on next time I go to universal
I tried to ride Hagrids but it required a virtual line pass and the website never let me book a time.
I’m just going to universal today
@@marielytorres6454 do yourself a favor and go to diagonal alley or hogsmeade and get butter beer. It’s a non-alcoholic delicious drink, even if your not a fan of the movies. It is pricey at around $8.00 per cup, but this is a once in a life time chance. You have to try this.
Here are my top ten at Universal
1. Hagrids
2. Spiderman
3.Mummy
4. Hulk
5. Riptide
6. Escape from Grinotts
7. Harry Potter and the Foribidden Journey
8. Kong
9. Transformers
10. Men in Black
funlovinguy2011 That’s a great top 10! Thanks for sharing!
No Jurassic park?
First like i LOVE your videos!!!!!!!!
Yay! Thank you!
The air time on mummy is INSANE
What does airtime even mean but yeah I liked the ride
I’m going here in February 2022 I’m so excited 😆
Revenge of the mummy was horrfying to me I felt like I was gonna fly out of my seat😭
back on my birthday on the 27th I'm excited
My top 10 would be:
10. Men in Black- Fun shooter with good sets and a nice queue, though it could use a bit more story I think.
9. Dr. Doom- I love drop towers and the queue and theme of this one really add to it. It's quite underrated.
8. Forbidden Journey- Awesome queue, ride system, and practical sets. That said, the screen parts are pretty dated.
7. Popeye- You get soaked and it's a blast. I love the set pieces and cartoony aesthetic.
6. The Simpsons Ride- I know few like this one as much as me, but I think it's great. The queue and writing are hilarious and I really like the ride system.
5. Gringotts- Mind-blowing theming, but short on thrills.
4. Dudley Do-Right- Hands down the best water ride ever with great theming, drops, and even some fun humor. An absolute soaker.
3. Mummy- Smooth, thrilling, and super well-themed.
2. Spider-Man- The best dark ride ever. Period.
1. Hulk- I love coasters, and this one is fantastic. It's smooth, intense, and the theme is pretty solid.
Thanks now i know where to go tommorow
@@iamdabest8154 Glad I could help. Have fun. By the way hit Harry Potter rides first as the lines are longer and an update for this list would include putting VelociCoaster at #1 and Hagrid's at #4.
Best dark I ride ever is space mountain
Just went to universal with a couple friends for the third time ever yesterday! Don't have a top 10 but ill rate the ones ive been on before
1: Velocicoaster (idk if thats spelt right): Really thrilling and fun every time you do it.
2: Hagrid's magical adventure: really interesting with how many launchers there are and everything goes very well together.
3: MIB: nice little shooter game and really good set.
4: Rip-Ride Rocket: Who doesn't love listening ot music on a roller coaster.
5:Gringotts: Really cool to watch and be in.
6: Tranformers: good story line.
I dont remember any of the others I went on.
I didn't get to ride the Hulk cause i felt a bit sick so I stepped out before we rode.
Those are all great rides! Glad you enjoyed your time :)
I loved the verlocicoaster one !!!
Im literally going on July 10th im so freaking excited even though i go 3 times a year 😂
LUCKYYYY!!!
@Night Star i’m already here
I'm here now line's are longggg
Im going July 13th lol. VELOCICOASTER HERE WE COME!!
@@tyregalaxy28 LUCKY
You are right New coaster is amazing
I agree with all the Harry Potter rides! My sisters friends brother started to cry.Hagrids ride was the BEST!
top 5 cus im indesisive
5. MIB (i have a tradition with my dad that we always ride this whenever we go)
4. flight of the hippogriff (it may be a kiddy ride but idgaf)
3. forbidden journey (another tradition but with my friend, but if it wasnt even thrn its an amazing ride , getting on it kinda stressed me out)
2. popeye (i can talk abt this ride hours on end literally the best raft ride ive ever been on)
1. the mummy (it just makes me so happy like i hate coasters but this ride hits different and i hate going backseat or frontseat on coasters but i love it on this one. i literally rode it 3 times at halloween horror nights i had to go through the scare zone to get on it iykyk)
but when i go on grad venture this year hagrid and dudley will take a place lmao
This was posted a while ago so idk if valosicoaster was built yet but Howard’s and valosicoaster are my fav rides I also love the virtual Harry Potter one!!
TIP OF THE DAY
Take a picture of the row number where you park in the garage.
People spend hours looking for their car cause they forgot where they park.
Safe time and walk less take a picture of row number and park closer in one garage park in Jurassic Park and the second garage park in spiderman area
JUST WACHTING because I'm going there on Friday and staying for the weekend
Have fun! Let me know how it goes! :)
Hadrids moterbike is AWESOME! It's so fun!!!!
I’m going there for the first time and I’m so exited

OMG WE ARE GOING NEXTWEEK FOR GRADVENTURE IM SO EXCITED
Have fun!
I like transformers ride, hulk coaster, most coasters there I loved. Rides going backwards are so cool.
Hagrids Motorbike is the best thing I have ever ridden.
I LOVED spiderman it was one of my favorite rides bc i love the movies and comics as well but when ur walking through to get to the ride it is the best details my favorite ride was hulk and I went this year and the velociraptor ride was for season pass only and I missed a lot of the Harry Potter rides bc it closed early but I LOVE Harry Potter books and movies so I’m sad abt that but I got 3 wands and a few funko pops for marvel
When I rode the velocicoaster I held up to the back of the seat like a rock and closed my eyes lol.
My top 3 is Fast and furious, jimmy fallon ride, and cat in the hat. lol ;)
One of the times I went on the kong ride it literally just stopped and the ride ended and the wait was 3 hours what a waste of mu time but I have been on the ride several times before then so I still love it
I’m going to Universal for the first time and I can’t wait to get on the plane tom
Have fun!!
First time I rode haggers I swear I had heart complications. Also. Velocicoster is hands down the best coaster in flordia

I haven’t been on hagrid’s motorbike adventure or velocicoaster yet
VELOCOCOAATER CRAZY good worth the wait was there for 80min tho 😒
YO hagrids motorbike is amazing, it's kind of like a slower version of velocicoaster without the loops and stuff but it's still AMAZING
Velocicoaster is so fun
I really think the Jimmy Fallon Tonight Show ride should make your list
That’s a really fun ride but it just missed the top 10
It’s fun but I think it would be a lot better if they made it a ride not a theater because I LOVE the queue
Hagrids😍😍😍😍
Escape to Gringotts should be higher and RRR #10
I am going to bee there in 3 days that is why I wants to watch this so I know what best rides to go on first

Bro I’m going on the 27th of April I cannot wait
Have fun!! Let me know what you think!
I went it’s not what u would expect it to be its very expensive
Sweet. I'm going in 2 week. First time.
Just left Universal studios Orlando last week! And what an amazing time! Def velocicoaster is my favorite but motorbike Harry Potter coming in a close 2nd! We had the best time ever! Just the themeing of the entire park is amazing! And they are working on a entire new addition to the park too! City walk and just everything about it was amazing! September is the best time to go! The longest line was 35 min and we literally got onto rides in 5 mins waits! Transformers and Shrek were my least favorite! Oh and fast and furious sucks so bad! I'd you go... do not wait in a long line for fast and furious it was terrible!
Sounds like you had a fun time!!
@@ThemeParkHorizons the best time I've ever had! The last time I had been there was in 1999 I was 12. It was just when island's opened and it was so amazing! But now I'm 36 and it was still so good! The lines were nothing! Longest line was 35 mins!
Im going back there for band. This would be my second time going.
Which rides have no drops or what rides have the worst drops?? I’m going tomorrow and I have fear of drops :(
How'd it go?
Well uh, you went. But I guess velocicoaster is insane, hulk is too, so is rip ride rock it.
Some of the rides I'm going on at Universal, tomorrow,
are the following:
The Jurassic Park Ride,
The Spider-Man ride,
The Cat in the Hat ride with my three boys
and the Popeye water ride!
The mummy ride was my favorite
Let’s be honest. If this video was made when The Velocicoaster opened, The Velocicoaster would easily be number 1.
i jus left there we’re going back tomorrow
We’re going tomorrow and for a week and a couple days and of course we’re not only going to that park we are going to all of the Disney parks and lego of course.
Have fun!
Mummy ride is so good omg
It's easily my favorite at Studios.
Going in a couple days I see. Well, I'll be there Tuesday and Wednesday and I'm going to try to get the back left seat on the mummy ride! Any clue what seat is best on the Hulk?
Front row is my favorite row on Hulk but also the back left is amazing. The back right is pretty good too on some other elements. But back left is a more well-rounded experience. Be sure to specifically ask the ride operator if you can wait for the back row! Then sit in the far left seat! Let me know how it goes :)
I went on all of these except for Reign of Kong, Transformers, and Spider man, but im obsessed with all of them. Hagrids is so much fun. I also went on velocicoaster, its better than hulk
I can't wait to go
I gotta say though in my opinion I think jurassic park is number 1
My ranking
10. Jurassic Park
9. E.T. Adventure
8. Amazing Spider-Man
7. Racing Thru New York
6. Escape from Gringotts
5. Reign of Kong
4. Rip Ride Rockit
3. Hagrid's Magical Creatures
2. Incredible Hulk
1. Forbidden Journey
damn The mummy didnt make your list?
I agree a lot
2:25 I’m sorry come again? There are live WHAT?!? 😀🧏🏾♂️👂🏾I always knew there was something shady going on over at kongs
Anyways here my top 10:
1-forbidden journey (it is so different from many of the rides in both of the theme parks)
2-hagrids motorbike adventure(the reason I didn’t put this as 1 is because forbidden journey was the very first Harry Potter ride I rode)
3-gringotts(the confusion between the drop and the simulated drop just adds the excitement to the ride and I really love bellatrix)
4-Jurassic park: river adventure (the lights, the pacing, the animatronics)
5-rip saw falls
6-spider man
7-transformers
8-jimmy Fallon
9-E.T
10-minion mayhem (seems boring after the first time you ride it simply because it has less action than most simulation rides. The only reason this is even on top 10 is because fast and furious and kong are not rude rude worthy to me. The only reason I would ride kong is for the cue)
I’m of to Disney tomorrow
So give me good ones 😂
I’m going there Thursday
My second favorite ride is Hagrids
