It's so cold, we have to watch out for falling Iguanas! Interesting - Rip Ride gives me a headache as well - every time I ride. It is such an iconic ride though and as you said, you can see it from just about everywhere. A drifting coaster would be a great idea. They can get rid of Jimmy's ride and incorporate into the new ride. Yes - I saw the spec maps with everything coded as flowers - however, it is never too early to talk HHN! LOL FROM is fantastic - it is a really great show and it would definitely make a great house. I don't see Disney using the Simpsons in the parks, but who knows - maybe in Hollywood? Almost 4 months till EPIC! Whoo Hooo! Be well.
LOL - I love seeing the videos of falling iguanas, it's so crazy to me! I wouldn't hate that, kind of a queue through Fallon maybe, and then utilize that whole area? But to remove 2 attractions for one doesn't seem like something they'd do. Not unless it had like Hagrid's level interest, but even then, probably still not worth it I wouldn't think? Really would love to see Ghostbusters come back to the park in some capacity. But a drifting coaster would be sweet in the Ecto-1. I agree, HHN needs to wait till at least early summer haha. But FROM is soooo good, though.... if they don't give some answers soon, I'll be getting upset about the dragging out were doing right now. Also, you should check out Severance, it starts slightly slow, but dang is it good. I don't think they would use Simpsons either, I don't know where it would fit. But, they own the IP now kind of, so I wonder if they're trying to see what kind of interest there truly is.
7:46 On december 6th I rode The Hulk, a couple of years back I rode it 5 times back to back. This time I got so heavily concussed with the headrest and the ride vehicle shook so violently that my ears got bruised. Really a horrifying experience. I remember around 10 years ago seeing the hulk ride completly replaced due to wear. I believe Universal is in some trouble as Rockit and Hulk now are overdue and if they dont work asap, velocicoaster will eventually stack up.
I always wondered if I was getting older or the rides are getting rougher LOL. But it seriously bangs me up, too. The Hulk isn't quite as bad as Rip Ride, but it'll shake me up pretty bad, too. I only ride it front row, I find it to be the least concussive. I have noticed Velocicoaster has some rickety rides on it, which does make me nervous for the long-term maintenance of the rides. I think newer rides have measures in place to prevent too much wear and tear on the rides. Not perfect, but hopefully better.
I love the specialty food booths - I was super sad they had ZERO for Christmas, too! Looks like they have less for Mardi Gras than normal, but at least some.
They had a few random things at their already existing booths, but I don't really feel like that's the same. I'd always prefer a standalone booth, it just feels more "themed" They only had 2 up the other day, just added these other 2 the day I went. I think they'll be having a number of additions still, they have a few weeks still, thankfully!
HHN MENTIONED?! IMMEDIATELY CLICKED (I just woke up so I have a excuse for not being first) Also I have a guess on a house.. maybe Poppy Playtime? Idk but I mean they have a poppy flower and that would be an AWESOME house! Imagine just an abandoned toy factory with monsters AS A HOUSE!
That's not a bad idea! Especially with the name of the houses. But I do feel like they don't tend to lean towards house names totally with names of houses. But it could be ironic.... Let's see what happens in the coming months!
We are passholders from Pennsylvania and plan on visiting Epic the first week of June for a week then come back again for HHN. We are waiting to plan our HHN trip to see if they have another Premium Scream event as that was the best event ever! We will plan our trip for when that is planned if they have it again.
A lot of parkgoers from Pennsylvania! Love that! I assume you guys attended the first Premium Scream Night?? It was just so expensive without having any information about it, I wasn't sure if it would be worth it. But then everything I saw really solidified the love for it. I do wish it were later in the season so the scare actors were more seasoned at that point. But I think all of the perks really make it a great experience. Super excited for you guys to come down for Epic nice and early, too! It's going to be incredible to witness that park operate after these past few years tracking it. 😍
It's too cold to be in the parks right now lol... cant believe the coasters still have long wait times. I can't even breathe when I ride them in the cold
It is! Especially recently, these upper 30 and low 40 degree nights are ROUGH. Hoping things heat up here soon, or at least 70's consistently would be nice lol
My husband is still thinking about HHN. He really enjoyed it. I can remember as a little girl, my grandparents, uncle's family, and my family would all load up in cars and go downtown for Fat Tues. Mom Mom would gry chicken, make potato salad, sandwiches, cake, the whole works. It was quite a day for our family. Good thing I'm not a pass holder! I would have to file bankruptcy over the Harry Potter stuff 🤣 thanks for the video.
You have no idea how much money I'd love to spend on some of the items at the shops 😂 I have learned good money spending restraint living down here. But also, I splurge on the silliest thing, you win some you lose some 😆 Have you tried Mardi Gras at Universal? It's truly a blast! I love the free concerts, the parade and vibes and obviously the food! I'm really hoping HHN this year is a great one. I still think for HHN35 we'll have more going on, but I'm hopeful they want to capitalize on Epic opening + HHN for an extremely profitable year.
I actually thought they had some decently big artists! Joe Jonas (though he does a lot of stuff locally), T-Pain, All Time Low are all decent, in my own personal opinion. But I know EPCOT gets a lot of love, too, so maybe in time we'll get more shakeup
What should replace rip ride?? And when are you visiting Universal next?!
A ghostbusters ride would be awesome!
@evennyperalta6455 we can only hope! 🤞

Cool video! My vote for the mountain on the lanyard is that it's actually the volcano for Volcano Bay. Currently this is my favorite lanyard!
Ah yes! Makes way more sense haha! It's a very nice lanyard for free, quite happy about it. I always love the free goodies though LOL

Parks closed today due to massive fires :(
I've been hearing about everything in California. Seriously insane, praying for safety for everyone. 🙏

Sub 100!! Let's go!

Universal needs to pick better artist. They want to compete with Epcot music and food, then get better! Universal's music has sucked for years!
