Step into the world of theme park magic with Rix Flix, your go-to channel for everything Epic Universe, Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure! 🌍✨ Join me, your host, as we embark on thrilling adventures, explore iconic attractions, and unravel the secrets that make these parks a haven for theme park enthusiasts.
I'm clueless. Today's Islands of Adventure video is a mystery to me. Come help me solve it.
The thing is most of the time when I do these update videos I'm coming to the park with a few
ideas of what's going to happen. What I'm going to see. I don't have any of that today so we'll just
see how this goes won't we. Today the Tupac Unlimited Express Pass is $276. When we get to
around Christmas time that's going to go up a couple hundred bucks. After you enter Islands of
Adventure to the right near guest services is where pre-registered guests have their pickup
for the accessibility card. I am going to be studying up on this. Instead of just reading up
on everything I actually might be having to go through the process. But that's a video for a
different day. I was gonna go through Marvel to start with but I saw something shocking
on the wait time sign board which leads me to go this way. I was here last Friday and Saturday night
and still the Christmas tree wasn't lit up. I never realized till right now that the Coke
freestyle machine has a cute little sign pointing the way to it. So the cat in the hat ride. One fish
two fish red fish blue fish and the carousel are all reasonable wait times.
5, 15, and 5. But the high in the sky trolley is a 50 minute wait.
Other than Hagrid's it's the longest wait time in the park. Actually let me rephrase that
because there is a longer wait time than Hagrid's. Hagrid's right now is a 90 minute wait whereas
meet the Grinch is a 110 minute wait. So this is the longest wait time for an attraction
of any sort that you're going to have in the park right now. Then comes Hagrid's. Then comes the
high in the sky trolley. So that's something we rarely see is two of the three longest wait times
in the park attractions in Seuss Landing. To the left of the old Poseidon's Fury attraction
a small a very small set of construction walls have appeared. If they're going to renovate this
land we're going to need more construction walls than this little thing. Why is the back end of
Poseidon's treasures closed? And how long has it been closed like that? Probably for a long time
because I'm assuming it's closed because there's no longer an exit of people leaving the attraction
who would kind of go through the store and do some shopping. So it may have been closed for
years as I'm just noticing now. Yep they even have shelving units in front of the
the entrance exit there. I bet it's been like this for a long long time. It's amazing what
you can find when you're desperate for updates. There are a couple of cool new t-shirts I want
to show you inside of the all Halloween boutique. This creepy Santa Claus shirt for $37
says always watching. Also $37 but less creepy. This Halloween shirt or is it Christmas?
Is that mistletoe or holly? Yeah that's a Christmas thing right there. It's
one of those Christmas Halloween mashups. They always have some real neat t-shirts in here.
Let's go see if that Hagrid's wait time has gone up.
Yep still 90 minutes. The Butterbeer cart. Longer line over here. Only one person on that side. I
don't know what else I can do. I mean how how else can I spread the word that this this is a
two-sided Butterbeer cart? What can I say? Watching the channel has its privileges.
Um I don't want to leave Hogsmeade without mentioning that Hogwarts Express is going to
close in early 2026 from February 9th through visiting during that time frame.
This Butterbeer cart as well. A long line on that side and look no one in line over here.
Again what can I do? How about you guys help me out? If you know someone who's going to be
visiting Universal Orlando tell them to watch my channel on the daily. Welcome to Jurassic Park.
It is a 35 minute wait for VelociCoaster and I think about a week ago they closed a single
rider line we think for good. And people have asked me how I feel about them closing down the
single rider line for this ride VelociCoaster. Quite honestly I think it was my least favorite,
least helpful single rider line. So I really I really don't care that it's gone. I never used
it anyway because it just didn't seem to be a benefit for me. It did not seem to be the time
saver that some other single rider lines are. The Midway Games in Jurassic Park here at the
training zone. I think it's specifically the DNA sequencing game. That's the game where you pop
the balloons. Has some new little prizes that you can win. And Dinosaur Dash. I don't think I've seen
these before. No I have not. But they're here now. At the Pizza Predatoria I recommend the garlic bread
cones. There's a meatball marinara and a chicken alfredo. Either one $17.99. The Jurassic Park
River Adventure closing for almost all of next year. I thought maybe they would re-theme it but
the more I think about it it's just going to be it needs so much work. I think they're going to
keep it themed to Jurassic Park and just fix a lot a lot of things in here. I'm going to do
something I've never done at Thunder Falls before. Order just some sides. Here we go.
Black beans and rice. So the black beans were $3.29. The rice was $3.99. I used my pass order
discount. My total for today this little meal snack $6.59. Of course I did mix it together in
one bowl. Okay okay not bad that way. I do like their beans and rice. You know and I'm no longer
hungry so it did its job and it was for under seven dollars. That's a plus and while it was
delicious it wasn't as good as when they give you beans and rice with a meal like on a platter.
I think they sprinkle a little something extra on it on the beans and rice then that makes it
you know a little more tasty. I don't know what it is though but it's something. It's
but at least now I walk away having a good meal at a cheap price and I feel like I've done
something a little more healthy for lunch. I've been concentrating on eating better lately and
I'm already down four pounds. In to Toon Lagoon on a cool day. The morning was very cool. The high
this afternoon is going to get up to 68 degrees. Volcano Bay is actually closed today because of
weather but we'll see if there's any action. Any daredevils riding the water rides today
or maybe some Canadians. Some Canucks. Some Newfies. Someone who's used to cold weather
like this guy or gal. I couldn't tell. He's moving kind of fast. Color me surprised. The first raft
that's coming by actually has a lot of people in it. Most without ponchos. That guy got a direct hit
in his t-shirt and shorts. Something new inside this store. A little Gabby's Dollhouse backpack
for $45. The bucket hat is $35 and the little coat $45. Skirt to go with it $40. I think next
week's merch search by this or that video will be over here at Islands of Adventure.
Here at the UOP Passholder Lounge they have run out of the Grinch button or pin whatever
about three days ago so if you haven't gotten yours they're just out now. No more. I'm pausing
here in Marvel Superhero Island for the perfect shot. That's it. Oh yeah. Although this one right
here it's a pretty good shot too. I thought I was timing it just right. I was way off apparently.
And this one right here a pretty good shot too.
Well at the very least I enjoyed my walk around the park. I hope you enjoyed watching the video
and as always don't miss the magic don't miss the fun and watch this next.
