About the jimmy buffet plane situation. That’s the bad side of the industry that people are only now being awakened to. I’ve known it was a snake pit for years. I grew up in a family with ties to the very insides of the industry including the voting for the grammy or should i say scammy awards.
Hey Rick just had surgery this morning on my foot going to be laid up for 4 months thanks for the video I needed something to cheer me up a bit. Praying these next 4 months go by fast because that’s when I’ll be able to walk again
In solidarity with you on Jimmy's plane Rick. Such a sad sight. "No plane on Sunday Maybe be one come Monday Just a hopeless situation Make the best of it's all you can do To make it through."
@RixFlix I noticed two things on my recent trip June 29th one is the Haggard's motorbike pre-show now has Q lines that sneaky through the area instead of one big holding area and the other is for the main Security check coming from the parking garage they now require you to take off your belt if it goes off in the middle detectors instead of just checking it with a long so to speed things up suggest just taking off the belt ahead of time
No! THEY CANT TAKE HIS PLANE! it literally makes the margaritaville area. What is wrong with them? I dont think Jimmy wouldve wanted this, what makes them think its okay?. Why do people do such outlandish things once someone dies? Don't we think he wouldve taken it so long ago if he didnt want it there? This really makes me upset.
Great update vlog. The segal with the French fry is a huge seller down the shore in Wildwood NJ! I was so shocked to see it on your vlog from an island of adventure game spot!!!
Hi traveling from Louisiana in September, tickets start on the 2nd for 5 days. I usually always do express pass but found in September especially early in the week it’s not needed as much. Does anyone have the price for express pass not unlimited just one time through would be fine. Thinking we may need them for Thursday and Friday. Just a guesstimate would be fine. Hoping to see you in the park!!!
I think you can pre book it and find the prices on the universal homepage, or am I wrong? I got our tickets through attraction tickets and they had the prices for express pass over a year in advance!
Hey Rick! It's sad to see that airplane leave, it does bring such a great addition to CityWalk, it's what we love about Universal's themed areas, they're unlike any other. The airplane will be missed but like you said it's not up to Universal, this is out of their control.
Question for folks. What would be the best use of money: A second night of Orlando informer meetup or MNSSHP? Doing one night of meetup, but debating about a second one.
Never done OI (but have considered it & I am a UO passholder and former Disney passholder). If you have kids under age 12 or have any interest in Magic Kingdom rides, MNSSHp is awesome. Especially if your family like to dress up. Music is wonderful. Fireworks are fabulous! Free candy! The parade is also great-Headless Horseman is worth the price of admission. I had younger kids who absolutely would not do Horror Nights. You also don't have to deal with any of the hassle WDW has installed since the pandemic(reservations, genie plus, etc). But, Universal will treat you better overall and has better value at their hotels - so stay there. Hope you have a great time!
Haven’t done MNSSHP, but I did the June 2024 meetup and had a blast (even though it was hella hot). I bet if you figure out how to properly balance food and rides that first night, you’ll be wishing you stayed for the second-especially if coasters and Potter are in your plan.

Margaretaville have released a statement about the plane. Apparently it is being removed for refurbishment and will return to citywalk next year

"No plane on Sunday
Maybe be one come Monday
Just a hopeless situation
Make the best of it's all you can do
To make it through."
Will be back after refurbishment
@@TulsaDude Sure hope so.
Yes that will be very sad. I thought it was such a pretty photo shot and also great decoration for the area.
I agree with you Rick.
Will be back after refurbishment
I'm going to miss that plane, such an iconic landmark at Citywalk.😢

Hope they are just repainting all the tigers/rickshaws/etc at the front of IOA. Excellent photo ops and fun for the kiddos.
9:27 Nice one🏒Rick🗣️Go Cats!
The plane will be back, its getting refurbed then put back. Absolutely no reason to worry, it will be back!

I totally agree. Very sad and angry about that decision .
I just did some research the plane will be back next year they are just doing some refurbishment on it
Hope you got the messages, all is well with the plane LOL
Like this if Thunder Falls should be a dining experience inside a T-rex terrarium (Similar to Epcot's space theme)
That plush seagull from the game stand, It’s a Steven Seagull! We have them in the UK!
Lovely meeting you today, once again, thank you for all the hard work you do
My wife tracymacarthur5699 had to have her picture taken with you just after you finished this bit 1:20. Made her day!!!
Quesadilla
Oh man taking the plane that's so sad 😢
Will be back after refurbishment
Great update vlog. The segal with the French fry is a huge seller down the shore in Wildwood NJ! I was so shocked to see it on your vlog from an island of adventure game spot!!!
Hopefully the plane's getting some major TLC. That bar's a hotspot for peoplewatching.
Need that mug!
I’d be willing to hedge my bets that the CityWalk splash pad is nothing short of heavenly during these summer months.
This makes me so sad I really hope they aren’t removing the standalone bar too. That’s me and my boyfriend’s favorite after park spot.
Great Update Video Rick!

@@dieSterbendeGiraffe Thank You. I did go on my app and there is a place to purchase. Thank you so much.
I learned to love that plane; it's gonna look weird and empty now!
Thanks!
You bet!
I loved the butterbeer caramels sad to see them go 😢
I love universal
No!!! The ice lolly should have brought in extra revenue.
Yeah, especially this time of year.
I need two of those Lil Boo mugs ASAP😅
The Jimmy Buffet seaplane was one of my favorites, I am going to file a lawsuit!
That seagull is also at cedar point in Ohio
I went to universal on 7/30 and I saw that the plane was gone and I’m like what happened so thank you for letting me known
It’s vile how they waited till after he died to do all that
I just read that the Hemisphere Dancer is being removed for refurbishment and is to return to City Walk next year! I hope that is true!

The plane needs a makeover. Just like a cruise ship

Are they still offering a free interactive wand with $300 gift card purchase?
Nooo why did they have to take away the butter beer ice lolly ?? We’re 2 days away from our trip and now they decide to take it away 😫
without the plane..what's to buffet the mediocre food and high prices??
Does anyone know what's going to happen to the plane? Hope it's not going to be scrapped 😮
I thought universal bought the rights to the restaurant from jimmy buffett, was told by staff, maybe you can verify
I’m thinking pteranodon flyers has closed forever
Why are they taking his plane ?
Jimmy's plane will be back next year its leaving for refurbishment
Makes me sad and angry that the Hemisphere Dancer is being removed. I wonder where it will go?
Why are they removing it?
He mentioned it in the video.
@lucasbarszcz2738 Sorry, I must have blinked.
@lucasbarszcz2738 watched it again, and still none the wiser? Why?
I don't the reason for why they decided to take away
@@RixFlix budget cuts no doubt, but it still it makes no sense as it was iconic.
How are we suppose to change our attitude if we cant change our latitude! The plane will be missed
$300+ for express pass is robbery.
