Riding The OLDEST And NEWEST Rides At Universal's Islands of Adventure | Best, Worst, Overrated

Rode Hagrid's last month with my daughter, got on at dusk and when we took off it was dark and raining!, It was so magical with the headlights and the rain stinging my face, an absolutely magical experience as first time rider(came with my family of 5 from Australia). Everyone clapped at the end!!

The Forbidden Journey blew my mind! I can't wait to get back on it.

While Hulk did open with the park, it was refurbished/re-tracked in 2016. Part of the old track is what Hulk is ripping up at the entrance. This is a bit of a ship of Theseus debate, but I can see where people are coming from saying they are two different ride experiences. By the end of the “original” coaster’s run, it was getting pretty rough. Just take a ride on Kumba, a similar style ride built by the same manufacturer around that time at Busch Gardens, to get a feel for how the old Hulk would be like today.

I love this video series! It’s been fun as a Patreon member to vote and chat with others in discord about our opinions, and I feel like we still learn a lot about every attraction in these videos too.

Spiderman isn't overrated. It's the best dark ride in either of those two Universal parks. Forbidden Journey is way worse when it comes to making my party feel nauseous but I would have gone with River Adventure or Cat in the Hat. Both were at least in poor shape in terms of maintenance the last time I visited though at least when the TRex is still operating, River Adventure is enjoyable. Cat in the Hat in B mode is awful.

molly in a sweatshirt because...it's under 75 degrees. winter is coming. soon it will be under 70 degrees. prepare for the parka

Would you guys consider doing a different take on 'ask the CM what to eat' where you ask your fans? That is, ask one of the people who say hi when they see you what to buy to eat/drink. But I'd also love to see this series come to WDW, I've been getting them right so far.

Heading down in 3 weeks! Going to my first Orlando Informer evening event, very excited!

you should do it at volcano bay

Great day and weather. We will be heading back for our yearly trip this weekend. So ready for a good time away.

My favorite videos on YouTube. Do this for every park!

You used my comment from the USF video! Made my day! Loved both of these videos. I matched them up correctly but I'm a little surprised Spider-Man was the most overrated. But I kind of understand because so many ppl say it's their favorite & while it's a really good ride, it's not in the same zip code as Hagrid's or Velocicoaster imo. My most overrated is Skull Island: Reign of Kong for sure. It always has long lines and except for the Kong animatronic (admittedly very cool) & the good AC, it's really boring imo but it always has long lines. Storm Force Accelatron is definitely the worst imo, tho Doctor Doom's Fearfall is pretty bad too (and I LOVE drop rides; this one just isn't it imo). High in the Sky Seuss Trolley Train Ride definitely deserves to be named the most underrated. Such a fun ride and it doesn't get enough attention. And I can't allow the Rip Saw Falls slander! lol. To each their own and this is all subjective but Rip Saw Falls is one of mine and my wife's favorite rides in all of Universal.

Listen, I’m a diehard Spider-Man fan so I definitely don’t agree with it being overrated, I love that ride to bits. Also don’t agree with Storm Force! But I’m also biased because I have fond memories of being too short to ride Hulk and just riding Storm Force while my older cousins rode Hulk. Hulk is amazing though, 10/10

Not to be too much of a nerd but the Incredible Hulk coaster is not the oldest because back in 2016 they re tracked the entire ride and changed the queue so technically the name is the same but the original ride is gone.

Went Harrods twice ,4 hours of my life I can never get back. Also Rip Velocicoaster

Loved the video. And even though you didn't ride the train, I have to say that when I heard they changed Hermonie's voice to sound more like her, I thought of you instantly. It was pretty bad. I can't wait to ride it again to hear the update.

Spider-Man is my favorite ride at any theme park anywhere, but that largely ties into Spider-Man being my favorite fictional character.

I just had the best trip to Universal for HHN! Love IoA so much and the wait time for the Hogwarts express was only 10 minutes

We stayed at the Royal Pacific in October because of your guys’ video and our stay was great. Was well worth the price with the express pass.

My mom surprised me for mothers day with a trip just her and I to Universal Dec 11-13. She told me she would be so excited to see you! lol
