    Even though I'm from Orlando, I never visited Universal Orlando until a few months after Jaws closed. Now I live in Hollywood and the closest thing I'll ever get to the ride in the states is the Jaws encounter on the Hollywood tour. It's my absolute bucket list to go to this park and do Jaws

    I’m SO happy you got to ride Jaws! We took our kids on that when they were little because I don’t think there was a height requirement, and they laughed through it. They liked it. 😂

    Sup Demi! It’s amazing how similar to Orlando this park looks. Anybody who is an Orlando veteran would feel at home here if they are visiting for the first time. It looks like a balance between Universal Orlando and Universal Hollywood. It would be cool to give this park a try, but with Epic Universe opening next year, I feel it wouldn’t have too much to offer that can’t be experienced in Orlando. I’m so glad you finally got to ride Jaws and the fact that this park doesn’t have the Jimmy Fallon ride makes it ok with me. What I’m not ok with is eating pizza with eyes…that would freak me out!😬

    I was there in April!, Jurassic park river adventure; Hollywood dream and and the main Harry Potter ride were closed but I still managed to have the time of my life!. AMAZING theme park, my favorite ride was the flying dinosaur! (I rode it twice in a row!). I barely waited any lines with the fast pass which made this trip even more amazing! Regarding the detective Conan ride… they have a lot of anime/manga rides. I rode both the “my hero academia 4d” ride and the “detective Conan 4d” ride. As a huge fan of detective Conan I was blown away , both are really solid rides with relatively short lines

    I'm still not 100% understand please help how to use the express pass, what if I have the pass time like this
    14:00-14:30 Mario kart
    16:30-17:00 Doraemon ride
    It means I have to go to the Doraemon express line 16:30 - 17:00 only ? If I need to stay in the Nintendo world longer, I'll waste the Doraemon one, right ?

    • @MagicalHijinx

      My advice would be to ask a team member or try to get a timed entry for Nintendo so you have more time.

    10:15 it baffles me to think that a USJ ride based on conan Obrien is even an option in your brain....

    • @MagicalHijinx
      @MagicalHijinx  Місяць тому

      I knew it wasn’t going to be Conan O’Brien, and I never said it would be an option there. All I did was explain that while it’s a late-night host ride in Orlando, in Japan, it’s not-but it’s a coincidence that the name still references a late-night figure. Not sure if you’re aware, but Detective Conan isn’t exactly a household name in the U.S. either. It baffles me that your brain didn’t catch on to that. 👀

    Hello new sub here ! I don’t understand why you still need a timed entry if you buy an express pass for the 4 or 7 that includes a ride at Nintendo or Harry Potter .. please can someone confirm or did I misunderstand?

    • @MagicalHijinx
      @MagicalHijinx  7 місяців тому +1

      I said you can still do timed entry if you want to try to get an earlier time. My guaranteed timed entry with my express pass was after 5pm and I wanted to get an earlier one and didn’t. I hope that helps 😊
