Yes I remember the old Hard Rock Cafe at Universal with the Cadillac coming out of the front. That was at least 17 years ago when I lived there in Orlando last in '94 it was still there before IOA was built. The Hulk is by far one of my favs for roller coasters.
Hey! I was at Gradventure/gradbash! SRMS just got back last night at 3 AM. But I've seen a few on the new Harry Potter stuff. I didn't know it was visible, but we weren't that far back in Universal at the time since it was getting late, but it's cool that you guys made this video and others for the viewers to see, thanks!
I randomly decided to go back to your first Universal videos! You two sound the exact same, but as soon as I saw Tim's mustache I was like "WOAH"! That's one cool 'stache!
Love your videos guys. My girl and I were actually there the same day, but we were wandering aimlessly around islands of adventure waiting for the Cool and The Gang concert. I'm questing we switched parks for the concert around when y'all were leaving. Seeing your video of the Simpsons area has me wanting to go back and get a taco and a chicken and waffle sandwich. Have a good one guys, thanks for the vlog.
Good work you guys. Very enjoyable. I hope I can take my family there soon. We live about 14 miles from Disneyland and about 35 from Universal Studios here in SoCal. Your Universal Studios is soooo much better. Keep making fun videos!
You guys are so cool!!! I watch all of your videos all the time!! I cant wait till you guys start with the HHN videos this year. I was so excited to go next year but then plans has changed and I didnt go. But this year the wife and I are so excited to go!!
Love watching all your videos. It's fun to watch! By the way It was Daruis Ruckers song "Radio" who was in hootie and the blow fish lol he's gone country now lol. Love hootie!!! Sorry, I feel bad for saying that now lol. You guys are awesome! 😁
I love watching your theme park vlogs because I just went to Florida last year and it was the best experience of my life it was amazing so looking at your vlogs brings back memory's my favourite ride at universal studios was probably the mummy ride well I don't like big roller coaster because I'm only 11 but hopefully I go back to Florida next year!
Was in Orlando in September, I'm from England but I always notice that the parking gets more and more expensive every year! $17 is just ridiculous now! Thanks for the update on the new contraction! now i know what they were building in September! :)
Another excellent presentation, TimTracker. Have you guys done a vlog that shows the amenities of the American Express Lounge? It is a nice cool spot with refreshments...perfect for escaping the afternoon humid/heat for a few minutes.
I love your Universal videos! My favorite place! Mythos is great! We usually eat there a couple times during our stay. I like the Asian Chicken Salad. It's very good! We also have the suviner glasses from when they first opened. You should take a video over at the new Cabana Bay Beach Resort next time so we can see what it looks like! :)
Aw man! I was really hoping the construction on the Harry Potter expansion would have been done by the time of Gradbash. Still really excited to go to the park though! Last time I went for the rides was when I was far too little to ride on the rides.
When i was 14 i went to disney world at the same time as some Brazillian tour groups, and i was sporting some pretty long liberty spikes, and every time i would run into a different group, about 4 different people always wanted pictures with me, i can sympathize with the random photo ops. Also Mahi Mahi is super good.
I remember when the Hard Rock was on the other side. My hubby and I went there right after we got married in 1998. Back in the day. And yes, we are still together. :)
Well darn! I was hoping you would find the geocache. As I was watching, I was wondering if you would look for it. Yes, I know, I'm behind in the vlogs.
I'd go with the "Mythos Beef Medallions." They had a blueberry and pistachio crusted grilled pork years ago that was fantastic. The place looks closed a lot and not even a restaurant to some, but it was a pleasant surprise and enjoyed it.
tassa0912 I don't know... Yes it was good, but not the best I've had. When you have a sign that says "best theme park restaurant 4 years in a row" I expect way more... Probably wouldn't eat there again, especially with so many other options available because we live here!
do you know what sucks is that i saw you and jen getting married in islands of adventure and i didn't know who you were then so i didnt come and say hi but i know you guys now and i wish i did! raaaah! love your videos, makes me excited to go to florida this year!! :D
We split beef medallions. We like Mythos. and yes we talk about when we first visited universal that Hard Rock was in the back. My wife says I'm crazy. Thanks for helping me on that one.
Just went there yesterday. Here's what I noticed after my visit there. 1) Hogwarts train in Hogsmeade in IoA is finished and most of the construction you guys dealt with is pretty much cleared out. They just haven't created an actual station with tracks yet. You DO see the steam engine on display but that's about it. I feel the real work is gonna be over Universal Studios to actually connect the two. 2) If the wands store is going to have it's new home in Diagon Alley, I wonder what they are going to that store as a replacement in Hogsmeade. :/ 3) The fence covering "London" and Diagon Alley; I did not see it AT ALL. They either built new and taller fences, or bulked up that tromp de l'oiel (sp?) backdrop of New York City around the area so much where people couldn't peek over fences anymore. So much for my potential sneak peeks for next time. :(
Another great vid! If you haven't already, you should try the Peanut Butter & Strawberry ice cream available in the Wizarding World. It's in the 3 Broomsticks or you can get it with less wait at the cart opposite. Tried it for the first time myself recently and am craving it again!
I cant wait for that damn expansion to open...just thinking about your pool and wanted to give u a tip for the green...just from the size of your pool 2 gallons of shock once a week chlorine every other...says my sister. her pool is always clear when everyone elses is still green here
I was at the parks the same day you guys were and I'm sad that I missed you guys! I told my boyfriend to keep a look out for you guys in passing. I made him watch your videos so he would know what you looked like lol :)
Just watched the video again and we saw ourselves in the que for Despicable Me at 16:13. He's wearing the black punisher tank top and I'm wearing a black Harry Potter sweat shirt! I'm so sad that I didn't see you guys walk by!
I'm stoked to eat at Mythos on our trip. I had to go gluten free and the gf options on their menu is expansive compared to many other places. I have the menu downloaded, and am still contemplating the options!
Never eaten in Mythos either...did look good what you guys got prob would be what I would pick since I dont do seafood stuff(the beef did look small to me)...always kind of skipped there because of the prices and dont usually do the dinners til later...usually eat at Confiscos at IOA they have really good french dip sandwhiches and chicken ceasars as well as awesome and really cheap pitchers of sangria. my fave IOA place,
Wow, really great! It looks like you can go on the Night Bus from that worker just coming out of it. Funny I can't wait for the New Harry Potter section to open, but will I be going anytime soon. Nope! I'm poor. But one day! Hopefully on that day it will not be crowded and maybe even a fun UA-cam gathering?! I can dream can't I? Hope Mythos was yummy. I know nothing was as good as my Easter Dinner I made myself. Roasted Rosemary and thyme Lamb chops, red skin mashed potatoes with lamb gravy, cornbread dressing (Stuffing), and green bean casserole. MMmmm! Hope your Easter was great too! Happy Belated Easter Tim and Jenn!
Eszra Wow! Your Easter feast sounds pretty dang good! I think the Harry Potter expansion will open pretty soon! Like within the next month or two! Should be nice!
Hey great video cant wait to go myself... me and my gf are coming down late aug/sept and were wondering if you would like a rock from Newfoundland for your rock garden? We will be going to most of the parks while we are there hopefully
There's a new frozen yogurt place called Menchie's replacing TCBY, and Cigarz is being replaced by a handmade sandwich shop. Not sure what's going into the old candy shop.
We are coming over 1st of July staying at vista cay for 2 weeks can you give me top 10 must do'a and how much roughly spending cash I will need. All the parks are payed for and do is travel. Thanks.
Tim, at Mithos (I don't know the spelling) I probably would have gotten the Cordon Bleu Grilled Chicken Sandwich without honey mustard..... BLUES BROTHERS!!!!!
I can't wait to go to Universal Studios Florida this July, I've been to the California Park several times but Florida's park looks so much better!!! Oh and the Niki Minaj thing.....hilarious!
Justin Kuhn It's funny because everyone who lives in California says their park is better, but everyone who lives in any other state says Florida is better! I'm prejudiced so I always say Florida!
TheTimTracker Having been to both parks, I can honestly say that the Florida park is a thousand times better in every facet. The one in California is tiny, cramped, requires you to go down and up several flights of stairs to reach some popular attractions, the traffic getting in and out of the park (or just in and out of the city) is absolutely atrocious, and the park has such little room that even the slow days are busy days. The one here in Florida is clearly planned way better. Plus, dodging I-4's infamous traffic is as simple as arriving and leaving early, but even I-4's worst traffic is nothing compared to the best day's traffic getting in and out of LA. Honestly, the Orlando park just has WAY more going for it. The California park has a backlot tour we don't. Joy.
Last time I was there I never went to that restaurant. I didn't really want to go there only place I liked eating at the Comic Strip Cafe & Croissant Moon Bakery.
JSTRonline2 Yea, Hard Rock is a totally different building than from when it first opened. Jaws was awesome! BttF was great too! There are still remnants of Kongfrontation in The Mummy! I remember having to ride Kongfrontation 3 times because the effects weren't working the first 2! They just left us on the ride and ran it again and again!
When did they change Hard Rock?! I wanna say it used to have the Car when I was last there, end of 2011?!, Is the NBA shop still there or is that gone now? :o Great video as always :)
always eat something you normally don't have when visiting somewhere new example, i like Alrado, so i go with salad, burger (unless its unique) get fish

I would love too see a day in Magic Kingdom, a day with Tim & Jenn Tracker, that would be awesome!
Love your videos guys. My girl and I were actually there the same day, but we were wandering aimlessly around islands of adventure waiting for the Cool and The Gang concert. I'm questing we switched parks for the concert around when y'all were leaving. Seeing your video of the Simpsons area has me wanting to go back and get a taco and a chicken and waffle sandwich.

ThePmvproductions Thank you so much!!! We try really hard!

Was in Orlando in September, I'm from England but I always notice that the parking gets more and more expensive every year! $17 is just ridiculous now! Thanks for the update on the new contraction! now i know what they were building in September! :)
construction*
As soon as I saw that epic moustache, I hit that sub button! Great vlog!
Just watched the 10th anniversary vlog, came back to find this video, and BAM, even found my comment from when I subscribed!
32days till florida so exited. I only went in October I just can't stay away. Love your videos :)
Another excellent presentation, TimTracker. Have you guys done a vlog that shows the amenities of the American Express Lounge? It is a nice cool spot with refreshments...perfect for escaping the afternoon humid/heat for a few minutes.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is the main reason I'm going to Universal Studios this summer. Love the books AND movies!!
Grad Bash!!!! I'm going on Friday!!! It'll be my first time riding Hulk!!! Wish me luck guys!!!! Love your videos by the way!!!!
Tyvm! Tim and Jen for the review at Mythos!!
I should have eaten the crab cakes!
xxTOTEMxx You are welcome!
Aw man! I was really hoping the construction on the Harry Potter expansion would have been done by the time of Gradbash. Still really excited to go to the park though! Last time I went for the rides was when I was far too little to ride on the rides.
Im glad I finally know about that entrance!
When i was 14 i went to disney world at the same time as some Brazillian tour groups, and i was sporting some pretty long liberty spikes, and every time i would run into a different group, about 4 different people always wanted pictures with me, i can sympathize with the random photo ops.

i was 1st there in 1990 ( with video cam). wow so diff now i was lucky enough to see it from a chopper . great video
this mans mustache is taunting me
I've been stricken with mustache envy
Well darn! I was hoping you would find the geocache. As I was watching, I was wondering if you would look for it. Yes, I know, I'm behind in the vlogs.
I watch your videos every day keep u the work
I can't wait to go to Orlando in October be the first time to universal :)
Pan Seared Ahi Tuna Sashimi! Charleston, South Carolina is full of jasmine and it is amazing.
You just gained a new viewer,love your videos
I'd go with the "Mythos Beef Medallions." They had a blueberry and pistachio crusted grilled pork years ago that was fantastic. The place looks closed a lot and not even a restaurant to some, but it was a pleasant surprise and enjoyed it.

Always a Great day with the Trackers!
Don't know if it was closed since, but that bridge you went over was open when I went in 2011 :P
Yes another fun vlog, as always :)
The bridge you crossed over at 9:00 has always been opened. I think we use that bridge every time to get to Jurassic park!
Mythos is actually really good, I love eating there. Their burger is really good and the spinach salad
Going to be there on Friday, can't wait. If I see you around the parks I'll have to sit Tim Trackerrrr or something!
***** Yea! I work on Friday, but you never know!
TheTimTracker well, I'm visiting Orlando from Thursday for 16 nights! Doing the lot whilst we're there :)
XD 14:52 Cyclops just like "Sup brah?"

It's in the 3 Broomsticks or you can get it with less wait at the cart opposite.
Tried it for the first time myself recently and am craving it again!

I cant wait for that damn expansion to open...just thinking about your pool and wanted to give u a tip for the green...just from the size of your pool 2 gallons of shock once a week chlorine every other...says my sister. her pool is always clear when everyone elses is still green here
7:16 hahahaha idk why that was so funny.
You guys should look for a little microphone that you can clip too your shirts. Because sometimes its quite difficult to here you guys.
Great vlog guys can't wait to go
I was at the parks the same day you guys were and I'm sad that I missed you guys! I told my boyfriend to keep a look out for you guys in passing. I made him watch your videos so he would know what you looked like lol :)

Seared Ahi Tuna there is delicious! Went back the next day to get it haha.
I'm stoked to eat at Mythos on our trip. I had to go gluten free and the gf options on their menu is expansive compared to many other places. I have the menu downloaded, and am still contemplating the options!
Hey Tim, do you and Jenn have annual passes to Disney, Universal and the like?
I remember when Hard Rock had the guitar steps and was next door to the Bates Motel. Must have been early 90s.
Hey Tim next you go to universal go to confiscos grill really good food. Try there buffalo wings there amazing
Ill be at universal on like may 2nd or 3rd I havent been since halloween horror nights 2012 any recomendations on what to do there?
Never eaten in Mythos either...did look good what you guys got prob would be what I would pick since I dont do seafood stuff(the beef did look small to me)...always kind of skipped there because of the prices and dont usually do the dinners til later...usually eat at Confiscos at IOA they have really good french dip sandwhiches and chicken ceasars as well as awesome and really cheap pitchers of sangria. my fave IOA place,
That expansion looks so good!!!! I'm so excited! When dose it open up?? I hope it opens soon!
It opens in this summer!
flying over this Friday , from the UK ... Beers on us if we see you !
Nice, i am going in may!
did universal require the description in your description box?
Mahi Mahi for sure!
Wow, really great! It looks like you can go on the Night Bus from that worker just coming out of it. Funny I can't wait for the New Harry Potter section to open, but will I be going anytime soon. Nope! I'm poor. But one day! Hopefully on that day it will not be crowded and maybe even a fun UA-cam gathering?! I can dream can't I?

Ur vids r fab thank you :) caroline. England .
Hey great video cant wait to go myself... me and my gf are coming down late aug/sept and were wondering if you would like a rock from Newfoundland for your rock garden? We will be going to most of the parks while we are there hopefully
I love when they go to a theme park
I love your mushtach !!!!!!!!!!
There's a new frozen yogurt place called Menchie's replacing TCBY, and Cigarz is being replaced by a handmade sandwich shop. Not sure what's going into the old candy shop.
Very cool to see...............
ExtremeReedy Thanks! I really had to stretch!
We are coming over 1st of July staying at vista cay for 2 weeks can you give me top 10 must do'a and how much roughly spending cash I will need. All the parks are payed for and do is travel. Thanks.
Nicki Minaj looked amazing, I'm so jealous you got to meet her!
Seeing Captain America walking around with the X-Men is just really weird. Cap and Cyke don't tend to get along.
Tim, at Mithos (I don't know the spelling) I probably would have gotten the Cordon Bleu Grilled Chicken Sandwich without honey mustard..... BLUES BROTHERS!!!!!
I believe it should be a TCBY instead of Baskin Robins. I saw the update over at Orlando Informer. I could be wrong.
Risotto of the day. I'd get that ;)
I can't wait to go to Universal Studios Florida this July, I've been to the California Park several times but Florida's park looks so much better!!! Oh and the Niki Minaj thing.....hilarious!

The California park has a backlot tour we don't. Joy.
TheTimTracker I could see that with disney but I dont think there is any competition with the universal parks
In Hollywood is a real production STUDIO, not a resort and theme parks.
Pls go to universal on august 24th bcoz thats wen im goin to florida fr the 7th time
Also, all those Marvel guys are together ...
in the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes game :).
hey Tim my new phase of yours is ding dang
Last time I was there I never went to that restaurant. I didn't really want to go there only place I liked eating at the Comic Strip Cafe & Croissant Moon Bakery.
I would probably have either the baby spinach salad or the mahi mahi both are delicious.
MELISSA OCAIN I'm not much of a seafood guy, so I'd stay away from the Mahi Mahi.
hey guys im going to grad bash on may 9th
The Candy Shop is becoming a Menchies Frozen Yogurt and TCBY/Cigarz is becoming a sandwich shop called The Bread Box.
gambit2321 Thanks!!! It's pretty funny that they are jumping on the FroYo band wagon so late in the game! lol!
I hope they finish all the construction before i go in August...
Rolando Perez I believe they want it opened in June or July. But if you google it there are many rumors floating around!
I'm going tomorrow night for grad bash:)
Expedition Everest is the best hands down
Tim Itchy is the mouse and Scratchy is the cat.
I remember the Cadillac! Did they really get rid of it? That's really too bad. BttF was great too! Jaws, can't forget that either!
JSTRonline2 Yea, Hard Rock is a totally different building than from when it first opened. Jaws was awesome! BttF was great too! There are still remnants of Kongfrontation in The Mummy! I remember having to ride Kongfrontation 3 times because the effects weren't working the first 2! They just left us on the ride and ran it again and again!
I completely forgot about Kongfrontation! Yeah I think we got stuck on it once.
TheTimTracker thank you for showing us the new harry potter area
loving all the vlogs
When did they change Hard Rock?! I wanna say it used to have the Car when I was last there, end of 2011?!, Is the NBA shop still there or is that gone now? :o Great video as always :)
***** Nope. They finally demolished the building in 2011, but the Hard Rock has been in the new building (without the Cadillac) since 1998.
Ahh I cant believe I didn't realise! I love that Hard Rock :)
Hope to maybe bump into you guys
Itchy is the mouse. Scratchy is the cat.
Lolololol Minaj lololol good one lolol!!!
always eat something you normally don't have when visiting somewhere new example, i like Alrado, so i go with salad, burger (unless its unique) get fish
Have a fun Easter
Roycee m Thank you! You too!!!
So I'm just assuming they're gonna abandon the whole Lost Continent thing and get rid of Poseidon's Fury. :(
dat mustache doe
I'd either get the pasta of the day or the traditional hamburger
I didnt know you got married there thats awesome!!! How did you do that? Is that like a special thing universal does?
wosnos Nope, it was very difficult! Getting Married At Hogwarts!!! (6.3.11)
I miss the hulk ride!!
you guys are so lucky you still have terminator 3d :'((((
When you need to pack for going out of town but you'd rather watch old vlogs...
The karaoke is for the grad bash student Tim.
