Found this channel while binging Universal Orlando related content (I’ll be heading out to the park relatively soon). Love your videos, keep up the good work!
Also, any chance you could do a video on the old 7th Portal 3D ride? I remember checking it out years ago, but hardly anyone remembers it was actually a thing.
Thank you so much Comic Books vs The World! We appreciate the support and hope you enjoy whenever you head to the Universal Orlando Resort, its definitely worth the trip! Consider the 7th Portal added to the list, it is one of the most obscure requests we've received so far, it definitely is something else 😂
Thanks, and I’m sure I will! I haven’t been down there in years, so I can’t wait to try out all the new exciting rides (like Fast & Furious 😂)
You will try Fast & Furious and probably wish Earthquake/Disaster was still around 😂
What the heck was 7 portal or whatever ride u mean?
@@ThemeParkHistory well damn now I'm confused lol what is this 7th portal y'all speak of
A defunctland and theme park history on the same day? Well its a hell of a day 😀
A great way to start your weekend!
@@ThemeParkHistory it sure is 😀
It is
I had to pick which one to watch before I left for work. I ended up going with this one, partially because I had about 20 minutes before I needed to go to work (the Defunctland is a whopping 37 minutes) and because I'm curious what's gonna happen to this ride now with the Fox deal.
@@ThemeParkHistory best days!!!!
"Don't you know all rides end in a gift shop"
*doesn't connect directly to a gift shop unlike the other rides*
:P
Again, ironic
I know my family always talking about that part how whe dont end at a gift shop but it say tho
just shows how little money they put into re-theming the back to the future ride.
Facts
I hope they make a Halloween overlay with the treehouse of horror.
I WANT THIS SO BAD.
@@ThemeParkHistory contact info conjuring sent from hollywood mail in stock shing house in maze runner made new car ride new made movie maze's New look like she Joey King she was going through his system own life story ture life movie all about her own stuff over her life time travel
They show clips from the Treehouses of Horror here in California
I mean, if Disney does their own Simpsons ride at their own parks in the future (for now, just in Paris, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Shanghai and possibly Orlando and Anaheim after Universal’s deal expires in 2028), they could do a Treehouse of Horror-themed story during Disney’s Halloween events (such as Mickey’s Not-so-Scary Halloween Party).
YES I agree they need to do that during Halloween Horror Nights
"Joining Homer, Marge, *Bort* , Lisa, and Maggie..."
Someone got the license plate.
Yeah, got the last one too!
bannana man Ha❗️Ha❗️{*points a finger}
Just Some Random Guy I too mention this at 21:42 but I had to play it a couple times cuz my 👂🏻’s weren’t hearing correctly.😆
@@mangoman6745 hey I am banana man my old UA-cam account got deleted (witch is probably the reason I hate minors)
The backhand slap to Fast and Furious was hilarious 😂😂😂
I snuck it in and added Nelson just for good measure.

I honestly cannot believe they got rid of the other ride and Beetlejuice just for that!
Fast and furious ride is trash
Good Call. SUPERCHARGED SUCKS EGGS!@@ThemeParkHistory
“I repeat we are out of Bort license plates in the gift shop”
The hottest selling item at the parks these days.
They had a spot for Bort in the KwikEMart shop! It was the only one sold out too!
The lady working in the store laughed when I told her my name is Bort, glad they humoured me even if they've heard it thousands of times.
Not going to lie, I thought this said borat for a second
they dont have my name either lol
How can you mock a ride that mocks itself?
Wait until we get the comment mocking me mocking the ride that mocks itself.
@@ThemeParkHistory that's a vicious cycle.
@@wstine79 _Ha-ha!_ You're mocking TPH for mocking himself mocking the ride that mocks itself!
@@visualgagging THE CYCLE IS COMPLETE
@@ThemeParkHistory Happy to be of service!
Lol he called him "Bort" 😂 that's awesome
Thank God someone commented on that lol.
I thought I was the only one that caught that
We are out of Bort license plates. I repeat, we are out of Bort license plates. 😂
When I was at the park a few years ago, the gift shop actually did have BORT license plates.
hmm don't know if he is referring that ep or just does know how to say bart
"My cartoons weren't good, they're were just first"
I just laughed way too loud.
Same.
Galactic Mix tf?
When you realize that the people who worked on the ride's animation made the cutscenes for Shadow the Hedgehog & Sonic 06'
Uea but those animations were actually pretty good, the games themselves werebt however
Isn't Blur also the company that remastered the cutscenes for Halo 2: Anniversary?
TBF they were rushed so the game could come out by Christmas
WHAT?! holy hell ! That's a good tidbit of information to know
NOW MAKE A SONIC RIDE
The Fast and The Furious ride easily should’ve been like Indiana Jones or Harry Potter but Universal got really lazy
Jordan Salley or like Test track
Javier Vivas Yah that would’ve been cool to but anything is better than the crap we got
Lol, "disappointing guests since 2015"
Or Spider-Man/Transformers.
They weren't lazy, they were just being a bit careful about which franchise should they use to make an attraction out of it, The Fast and the Furious wasn't really big at the time and not many people were talking about it, which is why they choose The Simpsons instead.
"Alone at last."
"Bob's trying to kill the kids!"
"It just gets better and better."
Theme park history: Harry Potter and the forbidden journey
I would like to know that too as well as when he will be releasing the video for Escape from Gringotts Bank
We will be covering Hogsmeade in June, thank you for the suggestion Willtheman222. We don't have a timeframe for Diagon Alley yet.
@@ThemeParkHistory all right then hopefully the videos will come out soon
Horror version of Harry potter ride.
The ride was better when it was Dueling Dragons, and nothing can change my mind on that.
2008 : The Simpsons Ride replaces Back To The Future The Ride
2025 : The Simpsons Ride replaces Star Tours The Adventure Continues
I can see this being legit
I can see a ride based on either the Ready Player One movie, or Star Trek replacing The Simpson's at USF/USH.
@@ThePoreproductions here's 2 better options :
1 : Universal should bring back the BTTF ride
2 : Universal should do a Rick & Morty themed ride to replace The Simpsons Ride
@@sandradefosse213 I agree! The Simpsons Ride sucks!! They should have kept the Back to the Future Ride!
@@bobbyc1701 Yes, i agree
Me: Mom can we go to Disneyland
Mom: We already have Disneyland at home
Disneyland at home: Krustyland
still better than Krabby Land
Moon: in flames
Sun: Cooled down
It'll be interesting to see what happens to the Simpsons at Universal. I'm sure there has to be some theme park rights that remain with Universal just like what happened with Marvel, but it's sad to see that so much of the park doesn't even belong to Universal.
Blame Disney
I hope Springfield is rethemed to Hill Valley. This idea is my own.
Still has nearly a decade left in the contract but my feeling is Universal will just retheme the area. I mean they have DreamWorks and Illumination and it close to the kids area so it.may not.be too hard to remodel it in the next decade.
Kevin Krupski they could easily turn that area into a Madagascar land.
@@martymcfly1312 I hope not unless they rename it Moto Moto Land
I wonder how that kid did on his Algebra test.
Probably failed, Algebra is pretty hard.
@@ThemeParkHistory Poor guy. He might never get in to the Audio-Visual Club again.
Probably bad, he was reading the book upside down.
@@ThemeParkHistory Plus, he was reading the book upside down.

When the Simpsons inevitability come to Disney parks, they should make a real-life Mount Splashmore.
I like the way that Sideshow Bob disguised as Scratchy steps on Homer's foot, it seems like a call back to when Homer stepped on Sideshow Bob's foot back when he disguised himself as Krusty to rob the Kwik-E-Mart and frame him.
I think everyone's looking over the biggest revelation of the video, Hans Moleman is Theme Park History's dad!
While he's very proud of our videos, he has told us nothing can ever top his Man Getting Hit With Football video. I don't blame him, it's still hilarious after all these years.
@@ThemeParkHistory He's not wrong, it's a instant classic and oscar winner. BTW love your videos!
He still walk around the house with that Oscar every day just to rub it in my face. Thank you for the kind words Blank, we appreciate it!
Nice try but Hans is only 31 years old....
Also your comment about fast and the furious disappointing fans since 2018, that was brilliant...I loved it
You know I had to throw some shade on it if I was going to mention it 😂
Of course! 😂
Hey it's not great but it's not horrible.
matthew whitcher It had potential, but after riding it only a month ago, and having attended the parks more times than I can count, I can confidently say it is one of the worst attractions in the Universal parks
@@starkermant5296 I accept your opinion I myself am a big fan of the fast and furious franchise so I may be biased but I personally was a fan but it does have it's flaws.
Please make "The history of The Haunted Mansion (Disneyland, Magic Kingdom.....)
It is at Tokyo too
@@goddiamodone1010, it's called in Tokyo "Mystic Manor" it's a different ride
@@edenrahav Mystic Manor is in Hong Kong. The Tokyo Haunted Mansion is modeled after Orlando's.
So talk only about The California version and the Florida version
There is so much history behind both though that they need seperate videos.
I loved BTTF, but The Simpsons Ride is great, too. I have a great memory of my dad laughing through the whole thing!
those memories are the best!
"I'm going to give you a little souvenir of my own"! - Homer Simpson.
Him inside the little snow globe! I loved that moment.
Will you take us to Mount Splashmore?

We're out of Bort license plates.
Now that Disney owns the Simpsons, there might be issues with Universal
I doubt the ride will be taken down in the near future. Disney can't just come in and tell Universal to take everything down because they own Fox now, Fox and Universal have a contract in place. If Disney were to try that, Universal would most likely sue and it could take years for a judge to make a decision.
Honestly I don't see The Simpsons fitting in to any of the Disney Parks and Disney will just honor the contract that has already been in place for over 10 years. They don't gain anything by trying to remove the attraction, as not only wouldn't they get their cut of the profits due to the contract but they would need at least 2 years to build a new attraction.
I doubt it because Disney has owned Marvel for much longer and the Hulk coaster and the Spider-Man ride are still around. Plus Disney isn’t allowed to use certain Marvel characters in Walt Disney World because Universal still owns the ride rights to them.
And then, Star Tours The Adventure Continues will be killed
S.KullRandom well they’ve had marvel for years so
@@ThemeParkHistory They will probably ask for settlement to renew the contract, however, despite being built a few years ago, would they do another early 2000s move and remove it for whatever is popular sometime around 2028?
what you dont' see is a representative from universal paying The rock after he said that lol jk
That’s how The Rock got his role for Disaster!
nice one :) @@ThemeParkHistory
“My dad, Hans Moleman” 😂 legitly had me choking on my pizza just now. Well done.
Ahh...Springfield: The busiest section in Universal Studios Hollywood. Everyone goes through there and most eat there(Krusty Burger being the number 1 restaurant in the park).
Last time I ate there my krusty burger bun was as hard as a rock
@@gator9339 That seems strangely on brand
I like eating at Jurassic park pavillion.
But suess land had the best food
@@JokerL1000 Suess land does not exist at US Hollywood
@@Geostelar4920
Yes i know
I'm surprised Disney hasn't attempted to buy Universal yet.
After buying Fox, they can’t buy any more studios.
Also they couldn't afford universal Studios and all the companies under it's umbrella, as Disney owns Touchstone studios and partial rights to DreamWorks studios as well as Marvel, Lucasfilm/Lucasarts, Pixar, Fox , ESPN, hulu, Disney Animation Studios, Disney Studios, ABC, Freeform, A&E, ABC Family world Wide, Animation, FX (all versions) National Geographic and Nat Geo, Disney Channel, Disney Jr, Disney Radio ( sold off to individual stations) Disney XD (Formerly ToonDisney) Disney Television Animation, It's a Laugh Productions, Lifetime, Viceland ( 10 % Stake) Jim Henson Productions, History Network, ( history, military history, h2 and History espanol) Fox life, Babytv and baby first, they used to have a contract with MGM and Turner classic movies as well ( hence the closing of the Great Movie ride, their contract was to expensive to renew and they've been focusing on bring stuff to the parks that they own outright from now on to ensure budget is met. At one point Disney even owned Power Rangers but sold them back to Saben and even held rights to Barbie who was also at the parks alongside the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Roger Rabbit, Dick Tracy, and Pearl Harbor, Alien, Lassie, Zoro, and so much more. Disney is truly bigger than many realize and they're going to continue to grow and dominate, 6 out of 10 movies in theaters every month are a Disney or Disney umbrella film being shown and Dominating box offices and breaking records. Universal Hope's to combat this growth in parks with the addition of a Nintendo World and more updated Jurassic World area attractions as well as updates to Harry Potter area. Disney is launching the 16 acre Star wars land in June and September in both parks as well as a New Marvel area, Pixar Pier has opened in California as well as a Guardians of the Galaxy mission break out attraction, and Toy Story land in both parks, Tron is the next attraction being built at Disney as well, and a New spiderman experience will be added in California where you'll feel what it is like to have superpowers and don a suit. So, that's just a brief history of Disney and universal, for an interesting read check out Storming the Castle a book about the bane of Disney being Comcast and comcast's quest to buy Disney.
It wouldn't go through because of Universal's Theme Parks.
@@Beetlejuice_88 no wonder, always wondered why I see Power Rangers toys in disneyland parks.
@@monkeyrun yeah lol they owned so many things people don't realize why, but when Spielberg went to universal studios, they ended the licensing and huge updates to Roger Rabbit 2 and attractions. It's why they ended allot in the parks, since Steven scorned them lol, they also couldn't secure the Muppets when Henson died before signing the contracts. So they had to wait for his widow to agree years later to stave off bankruptcy, but yeah lol Disney is a giant
That Ha-Ha never gets old does it? xD
Damn You, Disney! I want FOX to be owned by ViacomCBS and Nickelodeon!😡😭❤️📺🎶

We will be covering Toon Lagoon sometime later this year, thank you for the suggestion D ad.
D ad In case you missed it, it’s up! 😊
Can you please do the Waterworld stunt show? I haven't seen anyone ever cover this attraction. Great video by the way.
Waterworld will mostly likely be a Theme Park History Express video out sometime this summer, thank you for the suggestion Mike.
@@ThemeParkHistory That'd be great thank you.
@@ThemeParkHistory I love the history and Simpsons episodes first to last which this video reminds me. Do you remember when Homer Simpson took down Fantasy Land on an Episode of LA Law? Yes Homer is a hero to me for that you love his antics and silly nonsense he does a lot. fans wanted as Simpsons movie sequel I asked when it would come out. a real Quicky Mart was made yes it did happen. Which means fans can do shopping getting products that you see from the Simpsons television show? but there is no Moes Tavern anywhere or a summer Camp Krusty. which is better off staying in the show where it belongs. I am curious if any Simpsons video games will ever come out for the X Box One. not I think this will happen but a cross over Simpsons Family Guy movie would be really nice.
That f&f roast had me dying
You know I had to throw some shade at it.
HA HA!
Theme Park History: Bugs Land
A Bug's Land has been added to the list, thank you for the suggestion whata melha

@@ThemeParkHistory I AM SO MAD that Zim isn't a meetable character. Gaz as well!
There's something about Sideshow Bob yelling "Panda begs to differ" that never fails to crack me up every time I am on the Simpsons Ride lol.
wowee.. a ride was closed on my 1st birthday
rip back to the future ride
05.01.1991 - 03.30.2007
And rip Star Tours The Adventure Continues, it will be closed very soon and being replaced by The Simpsons Ride since Disney now owns The Simpsons
I have eaten at Krusty Burger AND Cletus’s chicken. Both have amazing food. Also the tator tots are *supreme*
Krusty Burger is probably the best food in the park, it even made me sick once. Now THAT is attention to detail.
Mmmm $20 hamburgers *drools*
And to think it probably would be the exact opposite in the show.
I went to Orlando recently on a band trip, and I just remember all my friends complaining about the long ass line at Luigi's while I was next door at the Frying Dutchman with basically no line. To this day it's still some of the greasiest seafood I've ever had. But I agree on the tater tots, but you HAVE to try the coconut shrimp if you ever go back. It's probably my favorite thing there, and I'm not even that fond of coconut.
bruh those steamed hams were so good
I appreciate The Simpsons arcade game music in the background.
That was my childhood! Had to include it in the video.
I agree
To think, just a few months ago I wasn’t addicted to theme park videos
Been to both. I loved the Hollywood one because it is literally my backyard. However, so much more to do in orlando version. Love the alien twirl and love duff yet it's so overpriced.
Can you do a video on rugrats Magic adventure, it’s an attraction that seems obscure that I wanna see your take on it

4:16 this picture is a joke to the old show before the simpsons you know and love called “goodnight: the simpsons”
The Simpsons ride was one of the biggest slaps in the face to all cinema lovers. To this day I can't understand why they would replace a ride as iconic as back to the future for the Simpsons. And what makes it worse is how bad the actual ride is. The screen that you have to look at the entire time has the worst video quality I've ever seen on a ride. It looks about 420p. Blurry throughout, and the ride itself is just bad. Feels like something you can ride at the mall when you put on a VR headset. I think many others would agree with me when I say that it's time for the Simpsons to be replaced with something else of a higher quality level. I'm ranting, but I guess I'm just still a little salty about Back to the future not being there anymore.
inglesamericano101 I was traumatized by the simpsons ride yesterday but I’m kinda glad I didn’t go on back to the future instead I bet that would be even worse
Yeah it’s not too fun
I love this ride! I feel like the rides vehicle is kind of mild, making it feel like more of a show than ride. Great video though!
Btw, can you do California Screamin next? & that fast and furious jab... lol!
*Incredicoaster
Galactixx OwO of course :)
The vehicle? Mild? PAHAHAHHA
But in all seriousness, the Florida version is so jerky it almost feels too real xD
UtopiaPlayz Huh. Well, again, that was just my opinion. If you’re opinion is different that’s totally ok.
J Terry TV ok so I went to the parks again, turns out only the top level is jerky now, I’m pretty sure there was a refurbishment a while back
When a new Theme Park History video drops, you just gotta drop everything you’re doing and watch! I get slight motion sickness now from the scene where we fly off the wooden ramp and it makes your brain believe you’re doing somewhat of a barrel roll. I wish the ride film would be updated. It’s showing its age. Springfield is an awesome area to have lunch and hang out at USF. Great video as always Jack! 👍🏻
Finally, someone gets it!
I think that's the only part during the attraction I still close my eyes, I can't just register what is going on in the scene. It's like that VR for me in general. It's a shame that the ride is in the shape its in after the massive upgrade to the area near it, I really do think that whenever the attraction and area closes (whenever that is), the building has to been torn down. Thank you for watching Michael!
Theme Park History I agree, cause think of it, how many times are they going to put an IP over the same ride system, a 3rd time? Seems counterintuitive. I still love The Simpsons though.
Can you do The Cat in the Hat Ride at Islands of Adventure? It's a great kids ride!
The Cat in the Hat has been added to the list, thank you for the suggestion chuckecheese.
I remember when they first opened this ride. I was in the 5th grade and fox did a promotion for it. Answer Simpson's trivia correctly and one person would win 4 tickets to universal and a week at the hardrock hotel. My mom ended up winning. My dad lucked out and met godsmack at the pool. I saw them live that night. Only thing though. Roaches. The hardrock hard a roach problem. That may have just been something they were dealing with when I was there and I know roaches are everywhere but still. You don't expect roaches in your coffee at the hardrock.
That sounds awesome! Well, minus the roaches.
My favorite ride. I laugh from the moment I get in the queue until I leave the building. Even the legally required safety video is hilarious! "Is it ice cream?"
We've got to go Back to the Future
Blur Studio!
Theme park history: fast and shitious supercharged
That sums it up pretty much.
XD Lol
Haha perfect
The simpsons is my favorite ride at universal behind the forbidden journey 😍😍
Edit: and yeah fast and the furious makes you want to die it’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen
No ! It's dangerous for Disney parks !
If you love Star Tours : The Adventure Continues, then never ever go to the simpsons ride, it's dangerous for the star tours since The Simpsons is now owned by Disney
And sorry for lashing your opinion, it's just to prevent you that The Simpsons Ride will (i think) replace Star Tours : The Adventure Cuntinues
This ride will forever leave a bittersweet memory to me, not because I hate it, but because I had a fun time with my ex-friend that he invited me to accompany him one summer, to which we had a terrible fall out years later for unrelated reasons. I even got a keychain over there, and I kept it ever since to only remember the good times I had with my old friend.
Can you do dragon challenge/dueling dragons
We will be covering Hogsmeade in June, thank you for the suggestion Thomas.
Never rode back to the future unfortunately but seen the footage & it looked fun! Really like the simpsons & the springfield area is a great part of the park.
The Back to the Future ride was one of the best rides EVER!
The part where Krusty says " I have no idea how much time is remaining" brings back awful memories from when I was in a super long line
Damn I remember when this opened, I was like 8 or about 11 years ago!
2:26 Great Scott. It's Marty McFly And Doc Brown From Back To The Future The Movie. My All Time Favourite Universal Pictures Movie. Thanks Mate. X
When this opened up I remember how long the lines were now it’s all just fractions of what it used to be
Technoid yep. No wait last week. Other rides had hour or more wait
It would be nice when the contract expires for it to return as Back to the Future. I think the studio park should be about their films.
the ride was outdated. 2015 when flying cars added.
This is one of my best rides at Universal! They should never remove it ! It would feel so empty without it and if people want Back to the Future so much, Universal should just make it replace a less important attraction, like Fear Factor Live!
Disney could put The Simpsons Ride in their Disney park in Paris.
True, but the Simpsons look better in Universal. They're not Disneyish.
yes they sould remove it, or this ride could kill Star Tours : The Adventure Continues
And once they remove it, i have two options :
1 : Bring back the old Back To The Future ride
2 : Make a Rick & Morty themed ride
@@sandradefosse213 or make a mario themed ride
As soon as the door closed when I rode the Simpsons ride my mom asked me where my Harry Potter wand was... I left it at the drink hut by MIB and SPRINTED to it as soon as the ride was over. My wand was still there.
Huge fan from your channel!!! 👊🏽 Regards from Mexico 🇲🇽 Could you next do Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride? 😁
Thank you Erick! Awesome to hear we have fans in Mexico! We will be covering Hogsmeade in June, thank you for the suggestion!
Can you try a history video for Star Trek The Experience in the future?
I remember they had this really fun website leading up to the attraction's opening.
I do to! I think it was TheSimpsonsRide.com Had a bunch of fun games and gags about theme parks on it.
Bring back Back to the Future!
It was a much better experience
Yep, far better
Never got to ride it but it looks a lot more stomachable than the simpsons ride 🤢
@@MsShadowPokemon I didn't either but if they brought it back I would love to ride it.
And keep Star Tours The Adventure Continues ! I neither want this ride butchered !
Also, Clost Minion Mayhem, god i h8 those yellow little things
@@MsShadowPokemon if you want a more stomachable ride than Back To The Future : The Ride, just see Body Wars (At Epcot)
PS : Body Wars is now closed with the pavillion since 2007
This ride made me soooooo sick, and it was very hot in there. My kids thought it was fun.
Aubrey Lion Swings I will never ride it again. I got the headache and almost vomited after riding it.
But the more important Question, *Can you do Mount rushmore*
*NEVER*
Do The Great Movie Ride at Disney's Hollywood Studios and Rock N Roller Coaster!
Both will get their own videos sometime this year, thank you for the suggestion Striljr.
Can you do
doctor doom fear fall
Or
Dudley do right ripsaw falls
Both have been added to the list, thank you for the suggestions bs07 cool.
So now that Disney has taken over Fox and that includes the Simpsons, will the ride be taken down and out of Universal?
I doubt it will be taken down in the near future. Disney can't just come in and tell Universal to take everything down because they own Fox now, Fox and Universal have a contract in place. If Disney were to try that, Universal would most likely sue and it could take years for a judge to make a decision.
Honestly I don't see The Simpsons fitting in to any of the Disney Parks and Disney will just honor the contract that has already been in place for over 10 years. They don't gain anything by trying to remove the attraction, as not only wouldn't they get their cut of the profits due to the contract but they would need at least 2 years to build a new attraction.
Theme Park History That’s a relief! I enjoy this ride and the land very much. I agree that Springfield and the Simpsons wouldn’t fit in any of the lands... maybe Hollywood Studios but it’s good where it is now.
That could be the only place but to be honest I just don't see The Simpsons type of humor fitting in at a Disney Park. Also I don't think the reception by Disney fans would be that warm, look how they've reacted to GOTG coming in and replacing Tower of Terror and Ellen's Energy Adventure. They're not big fans of IP's invading the parks.
I would like to see a video on The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Parks that would be cool very interested
Theme park history : Jimmy newtron orlando
Jimmy Neutron's Nicktoon Blast has been added to the list, thank you for the suggestion true vlogs lol.
Please do Dudley Do-Right’s Ripsaw Falls
Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls has been added to the list, thank you for the suggestion The Almighty Cornholio.
This channel popped up when searching for Universal related videos and I have to say, I have not been disappointed. Keep up the awesome work! It would also be awesome to see the next video go over Transformers The Ride 3D!
Thank you Dean! We will be covering Transformers: The Ride sometime this summer, thank you for your suggestion.
In case anyone forgot... The Simpsons replaced Back to the Future, a timeless ride that is now forgotten to the dust of history.
I find it strange that Maggie has cold spit in her instead of warm spit when she puts us in her mouth. And they didn't even have any odor of baby food neither.
Can you make a video on Transformers The Ride 3-D please.
We will be covering Transformers: The Ride sometime this Summer, thank you for the suggestion Hypixler Productions.
Yes been waiting for that too!
How about the history of The Mall of America Theme park
Kevin Krupski NO
Harry Potter and the forbidden journey please!!
We will be covering Hogsmeade in June, thank you for the suggestion Sarah.
Does the motion of the ride just mimic the Back To The Future motion? Has it changed? Smash through a sign, float on a river/lava flow, waterfall/lava fall, t-rex mouth/maggie mouth, fall back to the institute/fall back to krustyland etc
Please do one for Fantasmic!! It's literally the best nighttime spectacular ever!
This is one of the Theme Park History videos I always comeback to watch. Being a giant Simpsons fan as a child this ride was the highlight of my holiday when it first came out. Just wish they could of done more with the body of materials before Disney started taking the IP
Please do rock n roller coaster (Disney’s Hollywood studios/Walt Disney studios park Paris)
Rock 'n' Roller Coaster has been added to the list, thank you for the suggestion tomgjairport.
Now we need a video on Universal/Islands’ Wizarding World of Harry Potter!!
JUNE. Thank you for the suggestion jeremiah.
Personally, I was like 7 years old when I went on this ride in 2008 and I was so overstimulated and panicked that I had a melt down. I guess A+ to Universal for convincing immersion on a trackless ride? As a kid I didn’t expect so many scary things to happen on that ride, like the panda and nearly falling into hell
I can quote this ride script nearly word for word as I wait on the elevator and the ride car waiting for it to start. Still one of my favorite rides of this kind.
