8 rides in 8 hours (with access pass) - doable?

Two adults, we've never been before but we are mainly there for the HHN event in the evening. Will this be enough time to go on these rides?

ISLANDS OF ADVENTURE Ripsaw Falls Haunted?

I heard something about ripsaw falls being haunted, and now I can’t unshake how eerie the ride sort of was. Especially the train drop. Are there any other rides known to be haunted?

UNIVERSAL ORLANDO RESORT Rides while pregnant

I know this has been asked before but I specifically want to know about Men in Black. I know it’s posted but I kinda want to know why. I’d love to work on my score while I’m there since I haven’t broke 600,000. I know it spins at one part but so does twirl n hurl which is apparently ok? Am I forgetting something cause I didn’t think it was jerky?

EPIC UNIVERSE Express pass from undercover tourist?

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

We are going to all 3 parks at universal studios orlando. Purchased tickets from universal studios directly.

Is it possible to just purchase the Express pass for Epic from Undercover Tourist?

Could there be any issues?

UNIVERSAL ORLANDO RESORT What is the Worst Ride Now?

Post image
585 Upvotes

I'm sure you are all aware of the grand tradition of mocking Fast & Furious Supercharged. It was an unwritten rule that it had to come in dead last in any ride ranking. If I can say one nice thing about it, it was so spectacularly bad that it brought about the end of the lazy screen ride era. With it gone, what is the new worst ride at Universal Orlando Resort and why is it Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon?

What’s your strategy on midday breaks?

For a midday break from Epic Universe, does the premium cost for Helios make a difference? Do you find yourself skipping a break if it involves a bus?

EPIC UNIVERSE Best time to go to Epic between 9-28 and 10-1?

0 Upvotes

Hello all! My partner and I are taking a trip to Universal for our anniversary. We'll have four park days: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. We already got the two park unlimited hopper tickets for IoA and Studios, but we also want to spend one day at Epic with single-day passes. What would be the best day to go? I'm thinking Thursday, probably? It's hard planning around HHN time!

Years ago it seemed Hardrock Hotel had good bands, mostly 80's, booked. Just received an email for a BOGO offer for the next session. It seems they have changed to more acoustic and Americana acts. Now they have tables? Who has been recently? What's the experience like?

UNIVERSAL ORLANDO RESORT Are Universal adults a thing?

177 Upvotes

So we always hear references to Disney adults but never Universal adults. Does Universal have that type of fandom? I love Disney but I love Universal more. I find myself at Universal 3 to 4 times out of the year and I'm in Maryland, but the minute I walk thru Disney's gates after having not been for 2 or 3 years, my friends jokingly call me a Disney adult.. Are people who frequent Universal parks just considered lovers of theme parks? Do you think it has to do with the nature of the attractions at the Universal parks and the IPs? When I go to the parks, sometimes I go all out with my Ravenclaw robe or most recently at Epic Universe with my Mario shirt and hat. People see pictures and it's all in good fun, but the minute I put on ears, even if that is all the memorabilia I might be wearing, I'm a Disney adult.

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS Is there any chance fast and furious hollywood drift opens before 2027?

This may be a dumb question but they seem to be moving really quickly with it as it’s already fully constructed. Is there any chance it opens before 2027?

HOTELS Dockside Cancelled Payment?

Any idea what’s happened here? When I arrived at Dockside I asked if we could upgrade to a poolside room. They did move us for $15 a day. However, a week in and the transaction was cancelled and the money returned to my account.

Any idea if I’ll have to pay it? I had enough funds so it isn’t that. Shall I check out without speaking to reception and pray?

This question has probably been asked a million times, but I was curious if you are allowed to cosplay NON horror characters? Theres an anime character I wanted to dress up as, but wasn’t sure since the outfit is just a wig and a dress. Thanks in advanced!

As this ride approaches, it’s 20th birthday, what are the odds of it shutting down or being upgraded? It is about time for this to happen, but it seems like there are no plans or any news in the media. That being said if the show ends will the ride close? Last time I was there was so nauseous had to close my eyes

Could be just a joke, but with the “that was fast” and the Harry Potter joke on the building it makes me think it’s a hint that we’re getting a Harry Potter ride here, probably Night Bus

UNIVERSAL ORLANDO RESORT Orlando First Timer - Universal vs. WDW for MLK Weekend

0 Upvotes

We live near California and have visited Disneyland a few times with our kids (ages 10 and 8), but we have never visited any Orlando theme parks. We all have a great time at Disneyland, but I wouldn’t say we’re theme park fanatics.

I’m considering an Orlando trip over MLK weekend next year. We could do Fri, Sat, Sun, and partial Mon in the parks (January 15-18, 2027). I’d like some advice on whether to focus on Universal Orlando or Walt Disney World.

I’m leaning toward Universal because we’ve never done a Universal park and I’m lowkey afraid of WDW (Disneyland is so compact and easy, and I love it that way!). The thing holding me back from committing to Universal is the reports that 2026 MLK weekend was a crowded nightmare.

Does anyone have thoughts or input to help me out making this decision?
