    I actually got to finally meet Molly while she was filming this episode! I was in the Velocicoaster queue where the movie is playing while she was filming and then I ran into her while I was leaving the are and got to express my gratitude for the awesome content she produces.
    Molly, if you are reading this, thank you for helping me make the absolute most out of my Orlando vacations for the past 4 years!

    I looked up Dale Mason. He is not a Marvel character. He is vice president and executive art director for Universal Creative. That still makes it a neat Easter egg because it is a nod to the people that helped design the land.

    There’s also a tour of the nbc building. It’s significantly better than riding the ride. You get an in-depth tour of the lobby exhibits, and get to go to the balcony where you sign a guest book. You also get to pin a map where you are from and get a thank you note for taking the tour.

    I love these because it's one of the only times I'd stop to look at all the cool details. When we go to theme parks it's sometimes a rush around to get on favorite attractions so I appreciate all the fun facts, deep dives, and knowledge! Plus I can share it when I visit with my family and friends. Mammoth Club you are amazing!

    I was 5 back in 2002 when I went here on vacation with my parents. 2 weeks, did a lot of parks both Disney and non-Disney alike, and I can tell you, I have some amazing memories from this park. From being traumatized by The Amazing Spider-Man and Poseidon's Fury, to enjoying Seuss Landing,, going on Jurassic Park River Adventure, to going on Pteranodon Flyers with my father (curse not being able to ride it as an adult!), to getting literally STUCK in the Camp Jurassic play area and crying for my mother to help me out XD

    Mammoth Club + a Universal secrets video = I'm watching. Love these. Apparently Iago is a guard in the port of entry lol (as a huge Aladdin fan that made me happy). Loved all of the Velocicoaster & Hagrid's easter eggs & the "she who must not be named." One cool note about the Hulk coaster is it is the coaster at the beginning of House on Haunted Hill (1999). It's renamed Terror Incognita but they used the Hulk coaster (obviously before the refurbishment)

    The place where you started and finished the video is where they were originally planning on placing a large compass rose globe sculpture, intended as a compliment to the globe outside of Universal Studios. If you look on Google maps, you'll see that it's basically in the same place as the Universal globe, just a mirror image of it across Citywalk.
    Also, it's not just themed to random islands of "adventure," it's themed to different pieces/genres of literature.

    Just as a note, with Islands of Adventure stuff, the Jurassic Park section is, technically, Ilsa Adventura...and has it's own background for an alternate universe of the Jurassic Park movie universe where Jurassic Park didn't have the disaster and John Hammond built another park for Jurassic Park: Florida...
    The "Mosasaurus Skeleton" is probably a Tylosaurus which might be a nod to Jurassic Park: The Game

    If you are wondering what kind of skeleton that is the best guess I can give you is that it is a Pliosaur. It could be a Juvenile Mosasaur, despite what the Jurassic Would Movie shows of the Mosasaur, they are "only" about 50-60 feet or the size of a Humpback rather than the 70-80 feet that the Ingen Mosasaur is.
