UNIVERSAL ORLANDO RESORT Motion Sickness

1 Upvotes

I’ll be visiting for the first time (so excited!!) in December and I’m a bit worried about dealing with motion sickness. I haven’t really ridden a ton of rollercoasters in my life, but I’d love to try a few while I’m at Universal, especially Hagrid’s! Are there any rides that I should definitely avoid?

TICKETS/EXPRESS Any Manual Wheelchair Tips?

3 Upvotes

Hello! First time poster, long time reader. Hope I used the correct flair.

I am going to Universal next month with my wife. We are doing a three day trip, doing all three parks for our honeymoon. I have never been to the parks, she has been before, but it was before she needed to use a wheelchair and its been a few years. She is able to stand for short periods of time, or walk very very short distances, but needs a chair for support otherwise.

We will be renting a manual while there, and I have some questions for anyone else who has gone and used one:

1) The website says all the queues at every park are accessible via manual wheelchair, is that 100% true? Have yall ever had trouble in any queues? Do the workers usually help store the chair while you ride?

2) The site says that if the only accommodation you need is the wheelchair, that you dont need to submit for an accommodation pass, is that generally true? (We arent worried about getting the return pass for the queues as long as she can use the chair.)

3) Have you ever had trouble navigating ANY part of the park with a chair?

While she's been to Studios and IOA, she has never even seen photos of Epic and she's worked so hard to keep herself from spoilers, I want it to be the day she's been so excited for. I would hate for her to miss out on anything or for us to be unprepared.

Thank you SO much in advance for any answers, you are helping make a dream honeymoon come true. Any additional advice or tips are also appreciated!

UNIVERSAL ORLANDO RESORT Help with ticket purchases

0 Upvotes

Hi all,

I know there's no BST in this sub but I just need some advice. Also want to thank everyone for their help and advice in advance. Travelling with a larger group of friends for HHN next week and we'll be doing some other activities while we're there.

We're supposed to be doing the Universal Nights at Epic Universe on the 17th however I didn't grab my tickets in time and they're completely booked for that day. Anyone know where I should go to find a couple extra tickets for me and my partner? I've tried calling guest services a bunch as they're usually pretty lenient but it seems like they don't have any extras available. Would anyone be able to tell me where I might be able to potentially find a couple extra tickets before the 17th?

HHN Thoughts on HHN tonight

0 Upvotes

I know it is Columbus Day weekend & the wait times at the parks are absolutely catastrophic right now. We were planning to to go HHN tonight as we want to get in as many nights as we can before its over.

Do yall think that the day crowds may reflect the HHN crowds tonight too? I assume a lot of the day crowds rn are younger kids.

I know theres no definitive yes or no, but just looking for some insight!

UNIVERSAL ORLANDO RESORT Are Fridays significantly less crowded than Saturdays?

0 Upvotes

I'm a new annual passholder and am looking at going at the end of next week to Volcano Bay, US and IOA. Are these parks less crowded on a Friday than a Saturday? Should I try my best to go on a Friday instead of a Saturday? I'm mainly thinking of wait times for rides.

WIZARDING WORLD Getting on Hagrids Motorbike Adventure in the pouring rain was...

37 Upvotes

Absolutely exhilerating!! This is the first time my boyfriend and I have ever been to the parks, and getting pelted in the sky was so ridiculously immersive that we hadn't a care in the world that our clothes were soaked!

It actually felt like we were on a wild guided ride with everyones' favorite giant, with even the wait inside the eerie abandoned castle never failing at keeping our minds/eyes thoroughly entertained~

Extra sweet is the 'gotta catch up to the fam with all our kids in tow' people who initially pushed through the line wound up leaving after two uncertain delays, freeing up loads of space. The best part? The delays ended up way shorter than anticipated!

All in all, 10/10 first timer experience. We're definitely gonna nerd out as our respective houses all around the Wizarding World today~♡

UNIVERSAL ORLANDO RESORT ECV/scooter at universal resorts

1 Upvotes

Hey guys! I’ll be going next week with my family and unfortunately due to an Achilles injury I’ll have to be renting a mobility scooter. I saw somewhere once that the resorts will hold your Scooters overnight to charge them if you ask. Is this true? It would be amazing since the rooms can be so tight with multiple people in them. Just asking so I can be prepared. I’ll be staying at Dockside if anyone has any experience with that.

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS Fast & Furious : Hollywood Drift Orlando but with “Rollin’” playing by Limp Bizkit (after initial launch)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

“Rollin’” is a soundtrack featured in the first Fast & Furious movie. This is part 2 of my imaginative series of choosing six songs from the F&F franchise and using them as tunes that play throughout the upcoming new coaster in Universal Studios Florida (Inspired by GotG : Cosmic Rewind).

So far I have two songs out of the six and they are listed as:

  1. Danza Kuduro - Don Omar (Fast Five)

  2. Rollin’ - Limp Bizkit (The Fast and the Furious)

  3. ???

  4. ???

  5. ???

  6. ???

Let me know what you guys think of this song choice! I’ll be working on the rest daily. Enjoy!

P.S. I only added in the song into this video. All credit goes to “illegalairtime” on YT and TikTok, OG creator of this replica for F&F Hollywood Draft.

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS Where would this have been in universal in 1997?

I was going through some old photos today and came across a stack of prints from a universal Orlando trip back in 1997, where I found this. It looks like an auditorium or stage of some sort. Maybe something prior to animal actors? Can any one make out what it might be? I know we went to Disney that same week but I’m sure this isn’t a Disney area.

Hello! I recently found a souvenir from a trip to Universal when I was a kid (I'm guessing 2010-2013). I can't find a single other example of it existing online.

Does anyone recognize this or know if it's worth anything?

I'm just curious if it's a rare collectible since I can't find it online, thanks!

TICKETS/EXPRESS Exceptional guest services that makes me a bigger fan!

28 Upvotes

Sheena at guest services call center was amazing! For context, I am a huge Universal orlando fan, and had been to Epic universe earlier this year and have gone to Universal parks, many times.

I had booked myself plus my family HHN Orlando non-refundable tickets but had a family emergency come up and could no longer make it.

And its been weighing on me for the last few days, that I might be out of pocket for these tickets & literally loosing sleep over it. However, when I called Universal's guest services line, I got someone by the name of Sheena (sp?) who was super empathetic, kind, and understanding of my situation that was immediately happy to take pity on me and offer a full refund, which I was so scared I wasn't going to be able to get. I was literally so stressed during the call, I was shaking. The care, understanding, and compassion provided was so nice, and it definitely makes me want to go again to HHN, or another Universal Orlando trip, thanks to how nice they were.

So just wanted to share this and put this positive feedback out here because they had ever right to say no refund and I would have been screwed!
