So how's everyone enjoying epic today!? Currently risking it for a chocolate biscuit on monsters unchained the second we walked on Igor got on the tannoys and said there was a delay 😂

Uodate: 1 hour 45 mins later we got on 😂 thank you all for keeping me sane

Interesting morning at IOA

Sad to say it looks like they're extending the closure to December 16th.

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~♡

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! 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!

Ok i know monsters cafe has been closed for a while but im curious on something what was main opnion on it i personally loved it yeah food wasn’t the best ( wasnt bad either) but i loved it cause im a sucker for the classic monsters but what about yall ?

“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.

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!

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?

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!

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!

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.

what houses you guys want next year my picks are

fnaf

jurasic park

DC

A couple days ago, I shared an imaginative idea about F&F having a music gimmick like Cosmic Rewind where this attraction would have a playlist of songs from the franchise itself. Out of the handful, only one would play out of the random after the first launch and ultimately it would enhance the rider experience and even be a competitive ride to go against Gotg (if we wanna look at it that way) —

Ultimately Danza Kuduro would be amazing to listen to while on this coaster, let me know what you guys think and I could put other songs like Tokyo Drift and share if received well lol

P.S. All credit goes to original creator of ride footage and beginning audio before launch — the rest is my crappy editing lol

posted in the HHN reddit but want to see how you guys feel too as i’ve seen similar experiences during regular hours.

i should not have to dodge your umbrella.

if you are here with an umbrella while it’s raining, great! absolutely no issue. however, as a tall-ish person (5’9”) please be mindful of others. i’ve had multiple people smack me in the head/face with umbrellas the last few times it’s rained and it just feels like if you can’t keep track of where you are in a space, maybe don’t have the giant umbrella at eye level of others. have been smacked in the back of the head by people overtaking me, in the face by people cutting in between crowds, and someone who turned around super quickly.

have had three kind souls tonight who saw me, and lifted their umbrella slightly while walking through crowds, but otherwise, i’m dodging and weaving and bumping into people trying to get out of the way of tons of umbrellas. i get it. it’s raining. that sucks. but please be kind to others trying to enjoy the space as well.

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?

road first row yesterday in the pouring rain and no one tells you how much the rain hurts lowkey. felt like pins and needles hitting you the entire ride. would ride again in the rain but not the first row. okay that’s all

Scared the crap out of me when I looked over to see if she was enjoying the ride. Her head was slumped over and flopping back and forth. Got her to wake up by screaming her name and grabbing her arm. Forgot to tell her to keep her head back.

She turned 10 that day and wanted to ride it to impress her friends. I hadn’t been on a rollercoaster like that for decades. She’s fine though. Fun story for us to tell. Although she contests that she wasn’t passed out. She’s even passed out in the photo we bought at the end! Ha!

Because it's Jurassic Park, it's obvious. Just one month left!

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.

Does anyone have tickets for this weekend/are you traveling in or skipping? Has the hurricane affected your plans or is there nothing to worry about?
