00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:11.660
Welcome to another Universal Orlando podcast.

00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:15.640
I'm Nick. This is a travel edition, and that's

00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:18.339
Melody. Thanks. You're welcome. I can say you

00:00:18.339 --> 00:00:22.160
forgot someone. Traveling? You might be asking,

00:00:22.219 --> 00:00:24.719
where are you traveling to? I can see it. It's

00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:27.280
actually happening. You can see it? Yeah, that

00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:30.519
ride's operating. I wonder if our listeners know

00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:33.820
where we are. When we were like, ooh, and eyeing

00:00:33.820 --> 00:00:36.140
at everything. I can see the hotel from here.

00:00:36.469 --> 00:00:39.969
I can see the Orlando Eye. I don't care about

00:00:39.969 --> 00:00:43.630
that. How dare Universal let Orlando build the

00:00:43.630 --> 00:00:46.009
Orlando Eye in their sightline? How dare they?

00:00:46.289 --> 00:00:48.229
I'm still trying to see it because I saw it for

00:00:48.229 --> 00:00:50.310
a brief moment and then it's not coming back.

00:00:50.570 --> 00:00:53.270
Okay, if you guys haven't found out yet, we're

00:00:53.270 --> 00:00:56.409
at Epic Universe. We are at the parking garage,

00:00:56.509 --> 00:01:01.439
not garage, parking turnstiles to get in. We

00:01:01.439 --> 00:01:05.420
are staring at Stardust Racers. We can see the

00:01:05.420 --> 00:01:09.920
Grand Helios. We see a rock. We see a spire thing.

00:01:10.140 --> 00:01:13.480
Oh, wait. I think that's Harry Potter. Maybe.

00:01:13.739 --> 00:01:16.239
I don't think so. That doesn't feel Harry Potter

00:01:16.239 --> 00:01:20.159
-ish. But Stardust Racers is next to Harry Potter,

00:01:20.280 --> 00:01:22.459
right? Yeah. I can also just pull up my phone

00:01:22.459 --> 00:01:25.159
and look at the map. No. Don't spoil it. Why

00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:27.420
are those people walking? Who are those people?

00:01:27.519 --> 00:01:29.700
Why do they get to walk? Probably just asking

00:01:29.700 --> 00:01:33.579
questions. Anyway, we also partly saw Nintendo

00:01:33.579 --> 00:01:36.280
World on our way in. Yep. Like Bowser's Castle

00:01:36.280 --> 00:01:39.519
and what's the green area called? I don't know.

00:01:39.819 --> 00:01:43.739
Anyways, I'm going to put this out there. Spoilers.

00:01:44.060 --> 00:01:46.840
If you do not want to know anything Epic Universe

00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:49.620
related. Don't listen to this episode. I think

00:01:49.620 --> 00:01:52.099
so far what we have talked about is not spoilers.

00:01:52.400 --> 00:01:54.239
It's just, you know, what you can see driving

00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:56.400
up. I don't think most people care about that.

00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:00.519
Bus. Where? I think that's where buses go over

00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:04.920
there. Oh, probably. Anyways. Sorry. Spoilers.

00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:08.000
Do not listen. Melody, put in the Ghostbusters

00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:11.560
wee -woos right now. Wee -woo. Wee -woo, wee

00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:13.979
-woo. No, not you. I need you to find the audio.

00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:20.460
Right! Wow, look at that. Sorry. No, I want you

00:02:20.460 --> 00:02:22.939
to find the audio clip of the Ghostbusters. I

00:02:22.939 --> 00:02:24.840
thought I already tried. Well, you're going to

00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:27.250
try again. Man, this ride must be long. If it

00:02:27.250 --> 00:02:29.229
goes up and then it disappears and then you can't

00:02:29.229 --> 00:02:31.250
see it again for a while. Because I can see a

00:02:31.250 --> 00:02:34.509
lot of that ride and it just keeps disappearing.

00:02:35.289 --> 00:02:37.110
Yep. Because I just want to see if they're doing

00:02:37.110 --> 00:02:40.229
both trains or just one right now. See, there

00:02:40.229 --> 00:02:43.229
it goes again. Whee! They're doing both trains.

00:02:43.449 --> 00:02:46.710
I think it's just one right now. Oh well. Anyways,

00:02:46.830 --> 00:02:49.689
so do not listen if you don't want to be spoiled.

00:02:50.430 --> 00:02:52.750
Uh, we're not gonna, also, like, with our Instagram,

00:02:52.870 --> 00:02:54.550
we're not gonna post pictures inside the lands

00:02:54.550 --> 00:02:57.250
like some other influencers are doing. We're

00:02:57.250 --> 00:02:59.650
not gonna spoil you guys, because I know the

00:02:59.650 --> 00:03:02.250
absolute minefield I've been trying to avoid,

00:03:02.430 --> 00:03:04.169
because I didn't want to see anything before

00:03:04.169 --> 00:03:06.650
I got here, so every time I would even see a

00:03:06.650 --> 00:03:08.430
glimpse of what I thought would be a land, I

00:03:08.430 --> 00:03:10.250
would just shoot my finger up and just scroll

00:03:10.250 --> 00:03:12.710
right past it. I think the most I've been spoiled

00:03:12.710 --> 00:03:15.610
on, myself, is probably Isle of Burg. Like, I'm,

00:03:15.610 --> 00:03:18.960
I'm... annoyed that I have seen at least three

00:03:18.960 --> 00:03:23.020
interactions with characters. I've seen Astrid,

00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.199
I've seen Astrid, I've seen Toothless, and I've

00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:29.199
seen Igor. And you've also seen Rough Tuck and...

00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:33.340
Oh yeah, and Rough Nut and Tough Nut. So, I'm

00:03:33.340 --> 00:03:35.939
annoyed that I've seen those, but on the other

00:03:35.939 --> 00:03:37.400
hand, I'm glad I've seen them, because at least

00:03:37.400 --> 00:03:39.500
I know what their interactions look like. So

00:03:39.500 --> 00:03:41.800
this is part of the spoiler warning. Do not go

00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:45.340
forward. Pause the episode now. Melody will insert

00:03:45.340 --> 00:03:47.939
a blank pause for at least 30 seconds to give

00:03:47.939 --> 00:03:51.159
you time. 30 seconds of no sound? What if someone's

00:03:51.159 --> 00:03:53.460
driving? You can put in, like, elevator music.

00:03:54.030 --> 00:03:57.229
Yeah, put in elevator music right here, and it'll

00:03:57.229 --> 00:03:59.389
be 30 seconds of elevator music to give you enough

00:03:59.389 --> 00:04:02.729
time to click away, just in case there's autoplayed

00:04:02.729 --> 00:04:04.629
on your device and you're driving or you're bike

00:04:04.629 --> 00:04:06.389
riding or you're jogging and you need to pull

00:04:06.389 --> 00:04:08.330
over to the side and turn this off. And I guess

00:04:08.330 --> 00:04:10.870
you could just skip ahead if you don't want to

00:04:10.870 --> 00:04:12.689
listen to that. Yeah, if you don't want to listen

00:04:12.689 --> 00:04:16.470
to that, just click the skip button two times

00:04:16.470 --> 00:04:18.350
because I'm pretty sure it's 15 seconds each.

00:04:50.470 --> 00:04:54.100
Anyway, so we are here. waiting outside the turnstiles.

00:04:54.740 --> 00:04:58.779
Turnstiles? Whatever. The parking meters. Whatever

00:04:58.779 --> 00:05:01.379
they're called. Entrance. Yeah, that. The welcome

00:05:01.379 --> 00:05:04.439
entrance. It's weird to not see a parking garage

00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:08.439
for Universal. It is. Are we getting premier

00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:13.180
parking? Obviously. Just making sure. Well, we

00:05:13.180 --> 00:05:16.500
get free parking with our annual pass. That's

00:05:16.500 --> 00:05:19.319
one of the... Is my driver's license in there?

00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:22.670
It better be. I lost my wallet this morning,

00:05:22.810 --> 00:05:24.629
and I frantically looked for it, and I gotta

00:05:24.629 --> 00:05:27.189
make sure my ID's still there. Yes. Does anybody

00:05:27.189 --> 00:05:29.930
else, before you go into a theme park, just empty

00:05:29.930 --> 00:05:31.769
out your wallet, just in case you lose your wallet,

00:05:31.810 --> 00:05:34.449
so you don't lose all of your cards? We have,

00:05:34.449 --> 00:05:38.709
according, well, at time of recording, we have

00:05:38.709 --> 00:05:44.850
48 minutes. Yep. Came early. There's not really

00:05:44.850 --> 00:05:47.230
no reason not to. I'm debating on just turning

00:05:47.230 --> 00:05:49.250
off the car and rolling down the windows. Plan

00:05:49.250 --> 00:05:52.139
in action. Is that the Ministry of Magic with

00:05:52.139 --> 00:05:55.660
the dome building? No, that's Helios. Oh, never

00:05:55.660 --> 00:05:59.779
mind. Did you really just think Helios? I don't

00:05:59.779 --> 00:06:02.839
look at pictures of the hotel. I only see the

00:06:02.839 --> 00:06:05.980
sparkly rainbow colored one everywhere. Anyways,

00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:09.139
we're going straight to Monsters Unchained, correct?

00:06:09.439 --> 00:06:11.139
I thought we were doing Harry Potter because

00:06:11.139 --> 00:06:13.120
that line is going to get long. That's a virtual

00:06:13.120 --> 00:06:15.509
queue. Oh. When do you join that? I'm trying

00:06:15.509 --> 00:06:18.009
to. I don't know. I'm getting mixed reviews.

00:06:18.430 --> 00:06:20.689
Some people say it's at certain times. Some people

00:06:20.689 --> 00:06:22.670
say they just drop it randomly. So I guess we're

00:06:22.670 --> 00:06:25.350
going to find out. Fun. So I say we go over to

00:06:25.350 --> 00:06:27.310
Monsters Unchained because that's one of the

00:06:27.310 --> 00:06:29.470
rides that I've seen actually close down for

00:06:29.470 --> 00:06:32.490
the whole day. Okay. And it gets long. Fine.

00:06:32.649 --> 00:06:36.129
So it's, do you want to wait in a very long,

00:06:36.250 --> 00:06:37.990
do you want to wait in a Hagrid's Long Line?

00:06:38.329 --> 00:06:41.250
No. This morning? Okay, so everything in the

00:06:41.250 --> 00:06:44.199
morning is relatively long. Everything. and then

00:06:44.199 --> 00:06:46.459
throughout the day it kind of peters out and

00:06:46.459 --> 00:06:48.480
i just realized that we're going to be waiting

00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:50.600
again for the park to actually open aren't we

00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:52.920
yes so we're going to see how that works too

00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:56.120
because we don't have early park entry but we're

00:06:56.120 --> 00:06:59.339
going to be parked close close and i'm obviously

00:06:59.339 --> 00:07:01.519
going to you know walk up and wait in the line

00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:04.240
so i guess more people are getting out what if

00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:06.759
they're just walking up like saving place in

00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:10.199
line i don't think they can can you do that that

00:07:10.199 --> 00:07:12.910
shouldn't be allowed I really hope that's not

00:07:12.910 --> 00:07:15.670
what people are doing. More people to operate

00:07:15.670 --> 00:07:19.089
parking things. So Monsters Unchained first.

00:07:19.170 --> 00:07:21.850
I say we just wait because just on the off chance

00:07:21.850 --> 00:07:24.529
that it does close down for the whole day, we

00:07:24.529 --> 00:07:26.810
don't miss it. And then we'll just do whatever

00:07:26.810 --> 00:07:29.930
after. And if we happen to get a Ministry of

00:07:29.930 --> 00:07:33.290
Magic return time, then we'll go do that. Okay.

00:07:33.529 --> 00:07:35.689
Anyways, anything else? I don't think so. Okay.

00:07:35.730 --> 00:07:40.329
And we'll see you later. Bye. And we're back.

00:07:40.829 --> 00:07:43.790
Not in the park. It is currently 9 o 'clock at

00:07:43.790 --> 00:07:46.709
night. We did not record in the park. At all.

00:07:47.110 --> 00:07:49.790
The reason being, we were jumping from land to

00:07:49.790 --> 00:07:52.509
land, ride to ride, because we were not expecting

00:07:52.509 --> 00:07:56.370
it to be that dead. Eventful. Eventful? We were

00:07:56.370 --> 00:07:58.829
expecting to kind of just stay in one spot for

00:07:58.829 --> 00:08:01.550
a long time. So it was a mixture of we did stuff

00:08:01.550 --> 00:08:04.209
that we weren't expecting to and didn't do stuff

00:08:04.209 --> 00:08:06.910
that we were hoping to. I was expecting a lot

00:08:06.910 --> 00:08:09.740
more things to be... down for a lot longer than

00:08:09.740 --> 00:08:12.560
they were so do you want to start at the beginning

00:08:12.560 --> 00:08:15.000
yeah let's just start at the beginning so we

00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:17.720
get into the park we have times in the show notes

00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:19.959
if you want to look it up okay so we got to the

00:08:19.959 --> 00:08:23.579
front like parking gate at 8 15 then we got to

00:08:23.579 --> 00:08:26.740
the security gate at 9 15. yeah so we get to

00:08:26.740 --> 00:08:30.040
the front even before security then they open

00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:32.120
it up because that's the interesting thing about

00:08:32.120 --> 00:08:35.320
epic you have security and then you go straight

00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:37.240
to the ticket place where you get your tickets

00:08:37.870 --> 00:08:41.149
20 steps in front of you yeah which makes sense

00:08:41.149 --> 00:08:43.870
now i'm going to fault them for it because when

00:08:43.870 --> 00:08:47.929
security was quickly putting people through right

00:08:47.929 --> 00:08:51.429
at first it created a bottleneck and then security

00:08:51.429 --> 00:08:54.590
came to a stop yes but i think they did that

00:08:54.590 --> 00:08:57.669
on purpose more space i think they just wanted

00:08:57.669 --> 00:09:00.269
to get people to start getting through early

00:09:00.269 --> 00:09:03.710
well what they should have done is Once that

00:09:03.710 --> 00:09:05.870
area filled up, they sort of opened up the ticket

00:09:05.870 --> 00:09:08.029
counter, so it could have been a steady flow

00:09:08.029 --> 00:09:11.250
of people coming in. I guess. Then, the next

00:09:11.250 --> 00:09:16.090
meh that we ran into. Yes. So, all week long,

00:09:16.190 --> 00:09:18.690
I've been watching the wait times, and consistently

00:09:18.690 --> 00:09:22.149
I would see Monsters Unchained would go down

00:09:22.149 --> 00:09:24.389
halfway throughout the day, and then just stay

00:09:24.389 --> 00:09:27.590
down. So, we were like, let's just beeline it

00:09:27.590 --> 00:09:30.210
over to Monsters Unchained. Because that's one

00:09:30.210 --> 00:09:32.669
of the must rides that we had to do today. And

00:09:32.669 --> 00:09:34.669
let's just get on it right in the morning, even

00:09:34.669 --> 00:09:36.669
if it's a two -hour wait. And at this point,

00:09:36.710 --> 00:09:39.309
we were expecting to... We got in the park a

00:09:39.309 --> 00:09:41.769
lot sooner than we were expecting to. Yes. Oh,

00:09:41.950 --> 00:09:43.809
that's a whole other thing. So we get into the

00:09:43.809 --> 00:09:46.029
park and... I thought that's where you were leading

00:09:46.029 --> 00:09:50.549
to, but that's why I have show notes. Anyway,

00:09:50.690 --> 00:09:54.090
so we got through the security... Not security.

00:09:54.230 --> 00:09:56.690
Through the ticket counter around 9 .30. They

00:09:56.690 --> 00:10:00.159
used Face ID. Nothing new there. So the way it

00:10:00.159 --> 00:10:03.200
works, when you come into Epic, you can either

00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:07.000
go left or you can go right. You go left, you're

00:10:07.000 --> 00:10:11.440
going towards Mario Land and Nintendo Land and

00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:15.600
Monsters Unchained. Dark Universe. You go right,

00:10:15.720 --> 00:10:18.759
you go to Stardust Racers. The reason why that

00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:21.379
matters, because for early park at 10 a .m.,

00:10:21.379 --> 00:10:24.149
because the park opens at 11 currently. Early

00:10:24.149 --> 00:10:27.490
park admission gets early admission to Nintendo

00:10:27.490 --> 00:10:31.250
Land and Stardust Racers. So they split people

00:10:31.250 --> 00:10:33.549
off like that when you come into the park. Is

00:10:33.549 --> 00:10:38.309
Isla Burgosso early park? No. Okay. So we did

00:10:38.309 --> 00:10:40.269
not have early park because the only people who

00:10:40.269 --> 00:10:43.690
had early park were hotel guests. Which makes...

00:10:43.690 --> 00:10:46.549
Which made us... I'm not going to say... It was

00:10:46.549 --> 00:10:49.070
a little annoying. It was annoying because we...

00:10:49.070 --> 00:10:53.500
We... Us two don't know why it was hotel guests

00:10:53.500 --> 00:10:56.320
first. Personally, so the way I thought it should

00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:01.279
have ran is the first week of previews to people

00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:03.679
who can just buy tickets, it should have been

00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:07.299
just the pass holders for the first week. Second

00:11:07.299 --> 00:11:10.220
week, then you do pass holders plus hotel guests.

00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:14.059
And then third week, pass holder guests, hotel

00:11:14.059 --> 00:11:18.259
guests, everybody else until opening. That's

00:11:18.259 --> 00:11:20.090
the way I think it should have been ran. And

00:11:20.090 --> 00:11:23.049
then for early park admission, either for the

00:11:23.049 --> 00:11:24.929
first week, don't offer early park admission

00:11:24.929 --> 00:11:28.870
or offer it to the pass holders. Because another

00:11:28.870 --> 00:11:33.509
thing we felt slightly slighted on. Right. So

00:11:33.509 --> 00:11:35.990
early park was supposed to open up at 10. Yes.

00:11:36.129 --> 00:11:39.710
They opened up early park at 930 to the hotel

00:11:39.710 --> 00:11:43.309
guests. So we're thinking, OK, well, they opened

00:11:43.309 --> 00:11:45.509
it up 30 minutes early for them. Maybe they'll

00:11:45.509 --> 00:11:48.809
open it up 30 minutes early for us. We weren't

00:11:48.809 --> 00:11:51.090
expecting any rides to be open other than, you

00:11:51.090 --> 00:11:53.470
know, the one in Nintendo Land and Stardust Racers.

00:11:53.889 --> 00:11:55.909
So we were thinking, okay, we could at least

00:11:55.909 --> 00:12:02.049
go line up at 1030 for Monsters. That never happened.

00:12:02.269 --> 00:12:05.590
The park opened up normally right at 11. I think

00:12:05.590 --> 00:12:09.830
it was like 1050 -ish. Like maybe 10 minutes

00:12:09.830 --> 00:12:13.090
early. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it was about 1050. So

00:12:13.090 --> 00:12:16.509
we got 10 minutes early. I don't know. I think

00:12:16.509 --> 00:12:18.049
it should have been rained differently. Anyways,

00:12:18.190 --> 00:12:22.269
so that aside, we beeline it straight over to

00:12:22.269 --> 00:12:25.990
Monsters Unchained. We get inside, and oh my

00:12:25.990 --> 00:12:29.190
word, it's amazing. It was breathtaking. Yes.

00:12:29.350 --> 00:12:33.710
We walk inside that portal, and my jaw has just

00:12:33.710 --> 00:12:36.549
dropped the entire way. And Dartmoor was super

00:12:36.549 --> 00:12:39.330
cool, and it was super creepy and stuff. You

00:12:39.330 --> 00:12:43.230
got the creepy music. Funky -looking trees. Funky

00:12:43.230 --> 00:12:46.570
-looking trees. Oh, that's one thing I didn't

00:12:46.570 --> 00:12:48.289
put in the show notes because now I'm just remembering.

00:12:48.450 --> 00:12:52.470
On our way in from the car to the security thing,

00:12:52.669 --> 00:12:56.590
Nick was just talking smack about the plants

00:12:56.590 --> 00:12:59.470
that Universal chose. Well, they chose a lot

00:12:59.470 --> 00:13:03.909
of like high maintenance landscaping that I would

00:13:03.909 --> 00:13:06.330
not put in a park. Like stuff that you said would

00:13:06.330 --> 00:13:09.029
grow wild and just be all over the place. Yeah,

00:13:09.029 --> 00:13:11.350
if they don't stay on top of it every single

00:13:11.350 --> 00:13:14.340
week, it's going to get messy. Anyway. Moving

00:13:14.340 --> 00:13:16.600
on. So we get to Monsters Unchained. The line

00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:19.539
is literally out the queue, around the corner,

00:13:19.679 --> 00:13:21.940
and back up towards the front of the park. Probably

00:13:21.940 --> 00:13:24.620
because the people who got early park admission

00:13:24.620 --> 00:13:27.860
had started going in there and lining up. Yeah.

00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:30.620
So we're like, okay, well, this is a must do.

00:13:30.700 --> 00:13:33.100
Let's just line up and hope that they didn't

00:13:33.100 --> 00:13:35.019
open the inside of the queue. We get in line.

00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:38.080
The line starts moving because, as I suspected,

00:13:38.220 --> 00:13:40.120
they started opening up the inside of the line.

00:13:40.740 --> 00:13:44.919
And we get inside. We get through the outdoor

00:13:44.919 --> 00:13:47.120
portion. We just walk right through it. And then

00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:49.539
you get inside the manor. You come through one

00:13:49.539 --> 00:13:52.620
kind of themed room. Then you come into another

00:13:52.620 --> 00:13:57.340
room with like a fireplace and a... Table with...

00:13:57.340 --> 00:14:01.340
A table. Like whiskey and glasses. Yeah. Table

00:14:01.340 --> 00:14:03.600
with whiskey and then like another box that's

00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:07.379
glowing that says... Organs. Organs for transport.

00:14:07.519 --> 00:14:10.019
And it's like glowing. And then... We kind of

00:14:10.019 --> 00:14:12.179
pause in that room for like a couple minutes

00:14:12.179 --> 00:14:14.299
and we like inch forward every minute or so.

00:14:14.580 --> 00:14:17.200
You know, normal Q stuff. Then we get into the

00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:20.139
next room where it's like you have Frankenstein,

00:14:20.139 --> 00:14:24.179
like a dead Frankenstein. And a liquid tube?

00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:26.919
And like a liquid tube. Not liquid. He's like

00:14:26.919 --> 00:14:30.139
suspended in a tube. And there's this like screen

00:14:30.139 --> 00:14:32.200
scanning different parts of his body. It's really

00:14:32.200 --> 00:14:34.879
cool. And that's where we pause in the room.

00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:38.090
And then we hear the dreaded announcement. This

00:14:38.090 --> 00:14:40.330
ride has been delayed. This ride has been delayed.

00:14:40.409 --> 00:14:42.529
We're like, okay. We give it five more minutes.

00:14:42.730 --> 00:14:45.870
It was Igor who told us. Yeah. I don't remember

00:14:45.870 --> 00:14:47.789
what he said, but it was that the ride was delayed.

00:14:48.049 --> 00:14:50.669
Yeah. Oh. No. Forgot to say this. No, you're

00:14:50.669 --> 00:14:53.009
doing it right. You're in the right order. Don't

00:14:53.009 --> 00:14:55.409
worry. No. Because after the ride was delayed,

00:14:55.629 --> 00:14:58.850
then you got on your app. No, no, this is before.

00:14:59.450 --> 00:15:03.269
So the reason why this matters is halfway through

00:15:03.269 --> 00:15:05.769
the queue while we were walking, right at 11.

00:15:06.460 --> 00:15:08.639
I decided, hey, let me try and get a virtual

00:15:08.639 --> 00:15:13.679
return time for Ministry of Magic. So in my mind,

00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:17.279
I'm going to hop on the virtual queue and then

00:15:17.279 --> 00:15:19.940
pick the latest time because in my mind, everyone's

00:15:19.940 --> 00:15:22.440
going to flock towards the beginning times, you

00:15:22.440 --> 00:15:24.799
know, to try and hop on it right away. And not

00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:27.820
to mention, we were currently in line for Unchained,

00:15:27.820 --> 00:15:30.769
so... yeah later time means we have more wiggle

00:15:30.769 --> 00:15:33.210
room to get to the right on time right so we

00:15:33.210 --> 00:15:37.029
so i hop on i keep refreshing the app going back

00:15:37.029 --> 00:15:39.470
and forth between clicking on monster not monsters

00:15:39.470 --> 00:15:42.409
uh ministry of magic the back button and just

00:15:42.409 --> 00:15:44.909
keeping clicking back and forth eventually it

00:15:44.909 --> 00:15:49.559
finally pops up at like 1102 and is the where

00:15:49.559 --> 00:15:52.340
it says virtual line unavailable that will turn

00:15:52.340 --> 00:15:56.000
blue and then you can click on it and it'll have

00:15:56.000 --> 00:15:58.179
you select how many return times you need so

00:15:58.179 --> 00:16:01.559
i put in two and then it gave me like three or

00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:03.960
four different return times so i kept clicking

00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:07.919
325 to 355 and that was the return time i want

00:16:07.919 --> 00:16:10.860
and it said oh that's out so i went to the next

00:16:10.860 --> 00:16:13.419
one down oh that one's out and it kept saying

00:16:13.419 --> 00:16:15.139
everything was out until i clicked on the the

00:16:15.139 --> 00:16:19.120
soonest time which was 11 25 to 11 55 and i click

00:16:19.120 --> 00:16:21.360
on it and said you have a return time and we're

00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:24.179
like great we're like great we're in line for

00:16:24.179 --> 00:16:28.120
unchanged right now yeah so this was at a point

00:16:28.120 --> 00:16:30.240
in the queue where the line was still moving

00:16:30.240 --> 00:16:32.320
and we didn't know it was going to go down so

00:16:32.320 --> 00:16:34.539
it was like right before it got delayed yeah

00:16:34.940 --> 00:16:37.399
So the people in front of us were trying to get

00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:39.200
return time and I saw them not get it and the

00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:41.539
people behind me didn't get one. And I felt really

00:16:41.539 --> 00:16:44.399
bad in line thinking, oh, I'm about to let this

00:16:44.399 --> 00:16:47.679
return time go to waste because I want to do

00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:50.899
Monsters Unchained more than Ministry of Magic.

00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:54.000
So we get through the line, then it finally goes

00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:56.779
down and we get like three announcements that

00:16:56.779 --> 00:16:59.240
it's delayed. So we finally hop on the app and

00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:03.279
instead of saying delayed, it said closed. So

00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:06.299
I look at Melody, I'm like, we should go. Because

00:17:06.299 --> 00:17:08.480
we also didn't want to be late for the return

00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:11.279
time, because like he said, it was 1125 to 1155.

00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:13.779
At this point, it was like 1130. Yeah, so we're

00:17:13.779 --> 00:17:15.440
like, we should probably get over there, because

00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:17.900
they might allow us in late, but we don't want

00:17:17.900 --> 00:17:20.519
to risk it. Yeah, so we book it over to Ministry,

00:17:20.920 --> 00:17:23.900
walk through that portal. Got a really bad video

00:17:23.900 --> 00:17:26.759
of the Flute Network. So walking into that portal,

00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:30.299
just walking into the first portal. Yeah, because

00:17:30.299 --> 00:17:33.220
like he said earlier, walking into... Dark Universe

00:17:33.220 --> 00:17:35.119
portal. That was super cool. That was cool because

00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:36.920
you walk through the portal and it's right there.

00:17:37.140 --> 00:17:41.319
Versus the... France. France one. The Harry Potter

00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:43.500
one. You walk through the portal and then you

00:17:43.500 --> 00:17:45.420
kind of have to like either turn left or right.

00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:48.779
It's like a metro thing. Yeah. And it's like...

00:17:48.779 --> 00:17:51.059
It felt like we're walking into Diagon Alley,

00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:53.839
honestly. Yeah. Because like you walk down this

00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:56.700
pathway and then you turn right. It's so that

00:17:56.700 --> 00:17:59.519
they distract your line of sight so you get that

00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:02.279
grand reveal. And I will say, once you... get

00:18:02.279 --> 00:18:05.299
into the land and you were standing at the front

00:18:05.299 --> 00:18:08.519
entrance of it it is jaw -dropping yes it is

00:18:08.519 --> 00:18:12.259
so pretty they literally transported me to france

00:18:12.259 --> 00:18:15.279
it's that i know you didn't watch the movie the

00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:17.319
uh fantastic beast and where to find them but

00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:20.640
it really felt like i was in that set yeah so

00:18:20.640 --> 00:18:23.759
i i had my jaw dropped the entire time walking

00:18:23.759 --> 00:18:26.640
through there we beeline it over to ministry

00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:29.099
of magic which if you're wondering where it is

00:18:29.099 --> 00:18:32.980
you go straight turn left at the a circus tent

00:18:32.980 --> 00:18:35.579
yeah and then it'll be on your right you walk

00:18:35.579 --> 00:18:38.059
into that ministry building and once you go through

00:18:38.059 --> 00:18:43.359
that flu network and you come out it is jaw -dropping

00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:49.519
huge it is beautiful beautiful so detailed massive

00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:53.259
just amazing I was whining. You were whining.

00:18:53.279 --> 00:18:55.859
You're like, oh. It's not as good as Gringotts.

00:18:56.599 --> 00:18:59.539
Gringotts is better than this. Or, no. Because

00:18:59.539 --> 00:19:01.539
what he said was that someone poo -pooed all

00:19:01.539 --> 00:19:04.319
over Gringotts. And I was butthurt about that.

00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:08.220
I was like, uh -uh. But it's true. It puts Gringotts

00:19:08.220 --> 00:19:12.099
in Six Flags territory. I wouldn't go that far.

00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:16.779
I would. Anyways. So, we get on. We go through

00:19:16.779 --> 00:19:19.839
the queue. There's a room where you meet a...

00:19:20.329 --> 00:19:23.869
So I'm putting it out. Monsters Unchained went

00:19:23.869 --> 00:19:27.529
down. We now get on Ministry of Magic. We get

00:19:27.529 --> 00:19:30.390
really far in the queue. Yeah. You go through

00:19:30.390 --> 00:19:34.009
the... How do I explain this? You go through

00:19:34.009 --> 00:19:36.210
the Ministry of Magic, what they show in Harry

00:19:36.210 --> 00:19:39.150
Potter movies. You see like a giant newspaper.

00:19:41.049 --> 00:19:43.470
type thing showing that Dolores Umbridge is on

00:19:43.470 --> 00:19:46.230
trial. So that part of the queue, anybody can

00:19:46.230 --> 00:19:48.589
go to. Even if you don't have a return time,

00:19:48.710 --> 00:19:50.230
you can get to that part of the queue. Yeah,

00:19:50.250 --> 00:19:52.569
you can go through the Flu Network thingy. There's

00:19:52.569 --> 00:19:55.789
no line in there. You can just walk around the

00:19:55.789 --> 00:19:57.710
Ministry of Magic. There's not much to do in

00:19:57.710 --> 00:19:59.029
there. There's nothing to do in there. I'm pretty

00:19:59.029 --> 00:20:01.269
sure there's like spell spots. Oh yeah, probably.

00:20:01.789 --> 00:20:04.230
But there's nothing else to do in there. And

00:20:04.230 --> 00:20:08.170
then you go up to a TM. They scan your virtual

00:20:08.170 --> 00:20:11.539
line. QR code. QR code. And then you get in line.

00:20:11.700 --> 00:20:14.539
Mm -hmm. You walk through, like, a locker room.

00:20:15.140 --> 00:20:18.119
There's a room with a robot vacuuming. Yeah,

00:20:18.140 --> 00:20:21.680
a vacuum. There's a room with a house elf for,

00:20:21.799 --> 00:20:24.599
I think she was Dolores Umbridge's house. Hiddledy?

00:20:24.740 --> 00:20:28.200
Huh? I think it's Hiddledy. Maybe. I don't remember

00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:31.000
her name, but she was a robot. She was, like,

00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:34.160
really cool. Well done. Yeah. But anyways, at

00:20:34.160 --> 00:20:37.319
one point, you get to a set of ginormous stairs.

00:20:37.519 --> 00:20:41.259
So many stairs. And we get halfway up these stairs,

00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:45.819
and then we get the dreaded announcement that

00:20:45.819 --> 00:20:49.200
it's on a delay. Ride number two is now on a

00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:52.220
delay for us. And we were, I think at that point,

00:20:52.240 --> 00:20:53.559
we were just like, this ride's going to shut

00:20:53.559 --> 00:20:56.480
down. We're going to have to be, not escorted

00:20:56.480 --> 00:20:59.700
out, but like, oh, sorry, got to go. Yeah. So

00:20:59.700 --> 00:21:02.619
we sit down, and then like 10 seconds later,

00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:06.079
all the lights come on. Because it was, the thing

00:21:06.079 --> 00:21:08.440
with this place is that it's slightly dim lighted.

00:21:08.700 --> 00:21:12.640
Yeah, it's pretty dark. Okay, not dark, but like...

00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:15.220
There's lights. It's like orange light. No, when

00:21:15.220 --> 00:21:17.559
they turned on the real lights, it was like...

00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:19.660
White light. White light. Yeah, so I'm saying

00:21:19.660 --> 00:21:22.700
like dim orange -y lights to bright white light.

00:21:22.920 --> 00:21:24.880
I guess. And then, so when they turn on those

00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:26.619
lights, I'm like, oh, that's not a good sign.

00:21:26.740 --> 00:21:30.000
Nope. They never do this. Well, they never do

00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:32.519
this when we're the first time ever going there.

00:21:32.859 --> 00:21:35.599
Yep. So, well, no, I'm just saying in general.

00:21:35.940 --> 00:21:38.440
Yeah. in any of their rides they don't turn on

00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:42.140
lights it was definitely a oh feeling yeah so

00:21:42.140 --> 00:21:44.799
we sit down we're like okay they're not telling

00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:47.980
us to leave the queue we have a return time i'm

00:21:47.980 --> 00:21:50.240
not going to waste this opportunity because who

00:21:50.240 --> 00:21:51.599
knows if i'm going to be able to get another

00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:55.059
one so we stay in the queue i think what like

00:21:55.059 --> 00:21:58.680
10 minutes later 15 about 15 minutes later we

00:21:58.680 --> 00:22:01.200
get the announcement it's back up online back

00:22:01.200 --> 00:22:04.099
online yep so we stand back up about five minutes

00:22:04.099 --> 00:22:07.569
later we start moving No, I think we had a moment

00:22:07.569 --> 00:22:10.329
like, oh, it's working again. And then I think

00:22:10.329 --> 00:22:12.890
we moved a little bit. Oh, yeah. And then it

00:22:12.890 --> 00:22:16.230
delayed again. Yeah. That one wasn't as long,

00:22:16.309 --> 00:22:17.910
though. No, and the lights didn't come on either

00:22:17.910 --> 00:22:20.349
for that one. So, anyways, after that second

00:22:20.349 --> 00:22:23.349
delay, they say it's back online. We go up the

00:22:23.349 --> 00:22:25.210
stairs, down the stairs, and we see the loading

00:22:25.210 --> 00:22:27.390
platform. And then we realize why we went up

00:22:27.390 --> 00:22:30.210
and down stairs. Yep. So, if you're wondering,

00:22:30.349 --> 00:22:32.529
why am I going up stairs just to go down stairs?

00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:35.259
The ride is literally going right underneath

00:22:35.259 --> 00:22:37.220
those stairs. And the reason why you're going

00:22:37.220 --> 00:22:41.160
through a lot of stairs is because the ride vehicle

00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:46.240
is freaking huge. It is huge. It's like a giant,

00:22:46.440 --> 00:22:50.519
okay, Tower of Terror elevator thing, maybe a

00:22:50.519 --> 00:22:53.940
little smaller, but that as your ride vehicle.

00:22:53.940 --> 00:22:57.240
Pretty much. So we finally get into our boarding

00:22:57.240 --> 00:23:00.460
group, and I'm like, oh, I see our cart coming.

00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:03.240
And it comes, and then the lights just shut off

00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:05.680
on the cart. So the dude tries opening the door,

00:23:05.700 --> 00:23:08.599
and the door won't open. So he flags it on, and

00:23:08.599 --> 00:23:11.079
it moves on its way. And I was like, Nick, you

00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:13.140
need to shut up, because you keep jinxing these

00:23:13.140 --> 00:23:15.900
rides. Yep. I don't remember what you said for

00:23:15.900 --> 00:23:18.779
monsters, but you somehow jinxed it. I think

00:23:18.779 --> 00:23:21.160
it was just you getting the Harry Potter ride

00:23:21.160 --> 00:23:23.380
to begin with. I was like, ah, we got lucky on

00:23:23.380 --> 00:23:25.700
that, so now our luck ran out on monsters. Pretty

00:23:25.700 --> 00:23:27.920
much. Anyway, so we eventually got on it, and

00:23:27.920 --> 00:23:31.619
oh my word. Amazing. That had to be... one of

00:23:31.619 --> 00:23:34.940
the best rides I have ever been on. What? Yeah,

00:23:35.019 --> 00:23:39.099
no, we went on Werewolf first. Huh? Yeah, didn't

00:23:39.099 --> 00:23:41.759
we? Oh yeah, we did do Werewolf first. Because

00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:43.319
I was like, Ministry of Magic was not our first

00:23:43.319 --> 00:23:45.839
ride of the day. Anyway, we'll talk about Ministry

00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:47.500
of Magic and then we'll go to Werewolf. That

00:23:47.500 --> 00:23:49.319
way we don't completely break our chain of thought

00:23:49.319 --> 00:23:52.359
right now. Yep. Anyway, so that ride had to be

00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:54.619
one of the best rides I have ever been on. Yeah,

00:23:54.660 --> 00:23:58.839
it was so good. There was one of the very first

00:23:58.839 --> 00:24:01.230
scene. I don't remember what it was. I honestly

00:24:01.230 --> 00:24:04.150
don't remember the story very well because it

00:24:04.150 --> 00:24:06.250
was at the beginning of the day and... We had

00:24:06.250 --> 00:24:10.089
so much. A lot. So I kind of forgot. Basically,

00:24:10.089 --> 00:24:12.970
just... It was also a lot. It was slightly hard

00:24:12.970 --> 00:24:15.410
to follow the story because there was just so

00:24:15.410 --> 00:24:18.150
much happening. It was like, ah, what is happening

00:24:18.150 --> 00:24:20.309
now? I don't know. Basically, Dolores broke out.

00:24:20.410 --> 00:24:23.630
She tried getting a time turner. She did a Reparo

00:24:23.630 --> 00:24:27.829
charm or a spell on a... time turner but i guess

00:24:27.829 --> 00:24:29.990
it didn't work and everything's falling apart

00:24:29.990 --> 00:24:33.490
and it all exploded and then at some point there's

00:24:33.490 --> 00:24:37.309
the explodey rhino from the first fantastic beast

00:24:37.309 --> 00:24:43.089
movie but on this ride i was not expecting there

00:24:43.089 --> 00:24:46.970
to be animatronics on this and it was especially

00:24:46.970 --> 00:24:50.450
the death eaters with the mass yeah they're so

00:24:50.450 --> 00:24:54.109
good that they look like it's an actor acting

00:24:54.109 --> 00:24:55.930
in front of the screen i legitimately thought

00:24:55.930 --> 00:24:57.970
it was an actor i'm like why did they put an

00:24:57.970 --> 00:25:01.690
actor on a platform in a ride it was so cool

00:25:01.690 --> 00:25:05.789
and then the very final animatronic uh rhino

00:25:05.789 --> 00:25:10.529
type thing massive yes just massive i think it's

00:25:10.529 --> 00:25:13.730
like on the same and then they had like what

00:25:13.730 --> 00:25:15.809
they're like there were screens in this ride

00:25:16.220 --> 00:25:18.599
but they were so well blended like they would

00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:22.460
be like other uh elevators in front of us like

00:25:22.460 --> 00:25:25.759
one that had like uh harry ron and hermione but

00:25:25.759 --> 00:25:29.039
the actual elevator is in front of us and yeah

00:25:29.039 --> 00:25:31.799
so it's like you have a physical elevator but

00:25:31.799 --> 00:25:34.619
there's a screen in the elevator so it's a blend

00:25:34.619 --> 00:25:37.359
of the two so like their elevator would move

00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:39.839
and then our elevator would move and it felt

00:25:39.839 --> 00:25:42.640
like we were actually flying like at 100 miles

00:25:42.640 --> 00:25:46.240
an hour in the sky I think the only time the

00:25:46.240 --> 00:25:48.720
immersion really broke was at the end when our

00:25:48.720 --> 00:25:53.400
elevator moved into position to go into the unloading

00:25:53.400 --> 00:25:58.380
bay thing. You could see the final scene and,

00:25:58.380 --> 00:26:01.759
like, Dolores just sitting there. There was also

00:26:01.759 --> 00:26:04.960
a Dolores animatronic, which was okay. I think

00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:06.819
I'm just being slightly picky because, you know,

00:26:06.859 --> 00:26:08.819
when you actually try to do an animatronic of

00:26:08.819 --> 00:26:11.880
someone you know, you're going to see the imperfections

00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:14.119
of that. I mean, it was still really well done.

00:26:14.619 --> 00:26:16.079
That's probably why the Death Eaters were so

00:26:16.079 --> 00:26:17.779
good because they had a mask and you don't see

00:26:17.779 --> 00:26:21.380
the face. Getting a realistic face is a bit difficult.

00:26:21.700 --> 00:26:23.920
That's true. Anyways, ride was amazing. Yes.

00:26:24.039 --> 00:26:26.519
But anyways, the first ride we ever went on in

00:26:26.519 --> 00:26:29.240
Epic Universe. Rewinding. Rewind. We had enough

00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:32.140
time to go on Curse of the Werewolves. So we

00:26:32.140 --> 00:26:35.000
got off, what is it? Unchained. Unchained. And

00:26:35.000 --> 00:26:36.539
we're like, oh, Curse of the Werewolves, five

00:26:36.539 --> 00:26:40.019
minutes. And it was 1130 and we're like, okay,

00:26:40.079 --> 00:26:42.319
we can pop over here. It's a five minute wait.

00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:45.210
Let's go do that. We're like, by the time we

00:26:45.210 --> 00:26:46.970
get off Curse of the Werewolf, it'll be like

00:26:46.970 --> 00:26:49.829
1140 at the least. And then we can just run over

00:26:49.829 --> 00:26:53.630
to Ministry of Magic. Yeah. So we hop in line.

00:26:53.950 --> 00:26:56.490
Line says five minutes when we get in. When we

00:26:56.490 --> 00:26:59.210
finally stop, I say, hey, Melody, check the time

00:26:59.210 --> 00:27:01.509
real quick. She pulls up her phone. 15 minutes.

00:27:01.890 --> 00:27:03.990
Was it 15 or did it bump up all the way to 25?

00:27:04.369 --> 00:27:06.769
I don't remember. No, it bumped up to 15. Okay.

00:27:06.910 --> 00:27:08.430
Then we kind of look at each other. We're like,

00:27:08.470 --> 00:27:11.650
uh -oh. And we're like, oh. And then I think

00:27:11.650 --> 00:27:14.490
I said something along the lines of like, if

00:27:14.490 --> 00:27:17.630
this ride delays or something like that. But

00:27:17.630 --> 00:27:19.609
we're fine. We're moving through the line. We

00:27:19.609 --> 00:27:21.690
were slowly moving through the line. And we're

00:27:21.690 --> 00:27:23.250
like, okay, this isn't going to be that bad.

00:27:23.450 --> 00:27:26.690
We finally get to the front. The very front.

00:27:26.970 --> 00:27:29.369
The very front. We were the next in line to get

00:27:29.369 --> 00:27:32.390
put into our spot. And it goes on a delay. So

00:27:32.390 --> 00:27:35.529
at this point, we were two for two. And then

00:27:35.529 --> 00:27:38.630
we were three for three on delays when we went

00:27:38.630 --> 00:27:41.329
into ministry. Yeah. and we're like oh my gosh

00:27:41.329 --> 00:27:43.509
and we were looking at each other keep looking

00:27:43.509 --> 00:27:45.349
at the watch and like are we going to be fine

00:27:45.349 --> 00:27:48.190
are we going to be fine in my head i was like

00:27:48.190 --> 00:27:50.549
no we're not going to be fine we saw people retrieve

00:27:50.549 --> 00:27:54.150
a hat from the train that had just unloaded i

00:27:54.150 --> 00:27:57.230
don't know it was just like ah yeah and then

00:27:57.230 --> 00:28:00.329
but fortunately obviously we kind of spoiled

00:28:00.329 --> 00:28:03.170
it we did ride the werewolf yes we got front

00:28:03.170 --> 00:28:07.369
row yes we did we didn't even ask no I don't

00:28:07.369 --> 00:28:09.869
think you can ask. Not for that one. You might

00:28:09.869 --> 00:28:12.769
be able to. Maybe. Anyway, so we got front row.

00:28:13.049 --> 00:28:16.430
Front row, probably the best row. Yes. For now,

00:28:16.670 --> 00:28:19.470
we're going to say it's the best row. Yes. So,

00:28:19.470 --> 00:28:23.089
on the ride, it's an okay ride. It's fun. It's

00:28:23.089 --> 00:28:25.490
a family ride. It's definitely a family ride.

00:28:25.730 --> 00:28:28.109
You definitely got to do it at least once. I

00:28:28.109 --> 00:28:30.470
would say at least do it at nighttime. I still

00:28:30.470 --> 00:28:32.650
don't understand why. What's the point? So you

00:28:32.650 --> 00:28:35.730
don't really see the turns coming. i guess the

00:28:35.730 --> 00:28:38.930
lights make more of effect like okay try to ride

00:28:38.930 --> 00:28:41.710
werewolf unless you unless you're the type of

00:28:41.710 --> 00:28:43.250
person who needs to know what you're getting

00:28:43.250 --> 00:28:45.890
into because you don't do well with unexpected

00:28:45.890 --> 00:28:48.750
turns and stuff like that if you're fine with

00:28:48.750 --> 00:28:52.150
being surprised on a ride try to go on curse

00:28:52.150 --> 00:28:54.750
of the werewolf without seeing it without seeing

00:28:54.750 --> 00:28:57.549
it beforehand i mean we're about to spoil how

00:28:57.549 --> 00:29:02.250
the ride works oh yeah so but to be fair if anybody's

00:29:02.250 --> 00:29:05.450
listening to this they don't they want spoilers

00:29:05.450 --> 00:29:09.170
or this is like 30 years in the future and or

00:29:09.170 --> 00:29:10.930
they just want our opinions and they're probably

00:29:10.930 --> 00:29:13.170
gonna forget it when they go themselves that

00:29:13.170 --> 00:29:17.529
too anyways uh so the way the ride works you

00:29:17.529 --> 00:29:22.529
get on the thing and you shoot through your car

00:29:22.529 --> 00:29:24.809
just kind of rocking around you're rocking around

00:29:24.809 --> 00:29:27.630
slightly spinning and you go through this like

00:29:27.630 --> 00:29:30.609
shed and there's a werewolf in there in on the

00:29:30.609 --> 00:29:33.400
ceiling it's kind of hard to see yeah The reason

00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:35.599
why I say at nighttime is when we did it in the...

00:29:35.599 --> 00:29:38.380
Spoiler. When we did it in the daytime, I didn't

00:29:38.380 --> 00:29:40.079
notice there were, like, red lights in there

00:29:40.079 --> 00:29:41.839
that would flash when we would come through.

00:29:42.200 --> 00:29:45.319
Oh. And then... Was that us turning into a werewolf

00:29:45.319 --> 00:29:47.779
or being attacked by a werewolf? Either. I don't

00:29:47.779 --> 00:29:50.680
know. But anyway, so you, like, shoot through

00:29:50.680 --> 00:29:52.700
this. You come up about halfway, and then you

00:29:52.700 --> 00:29:54.720
come back. And to, like, a U -turn type of turn?

00:29:54.900 --> 00:29:57.140
Yeah, there's, like, a U -turn. You come halfway

00:29:57.140 --> 00:29:58.799
through the U -turn, but then you kind of, like,

00:29:58.799 --> 00:30:01.700
fall back. It shoots you back through. and then

00:30:01.700 --> 00:30:04.099
it shoots you back forward and then you finally

00:30:04.099 --> 00:30:06.779
make it around the u -turn and then you you finish

00:30:06.779 --> 00:30:08.839
the ride finish the ride and the reason why we're

00:30:08.839 --> 00:30:12.480
saying front row is really good because when

00:30:12.480 --> 00:30:15.200
you shoot forward that first time you're almost

00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:17.579
over the u -turn so you really get like shot

00:30:17.579 --> 00:30:20.319
up and it's like woo it's fun and then you get

00:30:20.319 --> 00:30:23.160
to go back and rock back and because are we gonna

00:30:23.160 --> 00:30:26.099
just say that we What we did next and save by

00:30:26.099 --> 00:30:29.180
front row or wait till later? I don't even know

00:30:29.180 --> 00:30:31.299
what you're talking about. The second ride. Oh,

00:30:31.339 --> 00:30:33.480
yeah, we did it a second time, but this time

00:30:33.480 --> 00:30:36.599
at nighttime. Ish. Because we wanted to do it

00:30:36.599 --> 00:30:39.460
at night. And we also wanted to do Stardust Racers

00:30:39.460 --> 00:30:43.200
at night. So the second time we got put in the

00:30:43.200 --> 00:30:45.880
very back row. Which was ironic. Which was kind

00:30:45.880 --> 00:30:49.220
of funny. Back row is one that faces backwards.

00:30:49.980 --> 00:30:52.119
I still don't feel like we really rode it backwards.

00:30:52.319 --> 00:30:56.200
I don't think. picking front row back row or

00:30:56.200 --> 00:30:58.539
like front facing back facing really matters

00:30:58.539 --> 00:31:01.220
as to how you're going to face in the ride yeah

00:31:01.220 --> 00:31:04.059
i don't know how that works because i was hoping

00:31:04.059 --> 00:31:06.319
to go more backwards in the ride but it has to

00:31:06.319 --> 00:31:09.500
do with weight oh well like the crazy mouth type

00:31:09.500 --> 00:31:12.039
thing no like the second ride there was a guy

00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:14.859
in front of us and they had one less person in

00:31:14.859 --> 00:31:17.680
their cart which made the weight distribution

00:31:17.680 --> 00:31:21.299
off and they're just so at the very end I saw

00:31:21.299 --> 00:31:23.599
the dude's cart and he just spun like three times.

00:31:23.900 --> 00:31:27.380
Oh, got it. Go in a group of three if you want

00:31:27.380 --> 00:31:30.240
your cart to spin, apparently. Anyway, so we

00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:32.279
did that, booked it open ministry, did ministry,

00:31:32.519 --> 00:31:35.200
got delayed there, three for three delay. But

00:31:35.200 --> 00:31:37.339
we got to ride two rides. At that point, we have

00:31:37.339 --> 00:31:39.079
done two rides and we're like, okay, this is

00:31:39.079 --> 00:31:41.480
a somewhat successful day. Yeah, we were happy

00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:43.640
to because we were like, out of all the rides,

00:31:43.700 --> 00:31:45.420
the ones that we really want to go on, Ministry

00:31:45.420 --> 00:31:48.579
of Magic and Unchained. And like he said, we

00:31:48.579 --> 00:31:51.130
were expecting so many delays and stuff. and

00:31:51.130 --> 00:31:54.029
cancellations and closures and all that, that

00:31:54.029 --> 00:31:56.470
we said, if we can do one of the two big rides,

00:31:56.630 --> 00:31:58.829
we'll be happy. And we did Ministry of Magic,

00:31:58.930 --> 00:32:00.990
which was also the pain -in -the -butt ride to

00:32:00.990 --> 00:32:04.529
get on, so we were happy. But at this point,

00:32:04.609 --> 00:32:07.829
we had ridden the ride, and we realized that

00:32:07.829 --> 00:32:12.210
Unchained Monsters was open again. Yes. Well,

00:32:12.309 --> 00:32:14.609
no, I was reading your notes, and there's a break.

00:32:14.930 --> 00:32:17.369
There is. Unchained got delayed, we waited, but

00:32:17.369 --> 00:32:19.369
then... I didn't finish my notes. We bolted to

00:32:19.369 --> 00:32:22.069
make it to Harry Potter on time. Ministry of

00:32:22.069 --> 00:32:24.910
Magic had short delay, and then it goes to food.

00:32:25.170 --> 00:32:26.910
Well, yeah, because I didn't finish my notes

00:32:26.910 --> 00:32:29.069
because we were in the middle of a ride line.

00:32:29.269 --> 00:32:32.069
I guess. All right, if you remember what we did

00:32:32.069 --> 00:32:36.750
next, you go ahead. Okay, so we go back to monsters.

00:32:37.329 --> 00:32:41.930
Why? Huh? Why? To ride it? Didn't we get food

00:32:41.930 --> 00:32:44.730
first? Did we? I don't think so. I remember,

00:32:44.730 --> 00:32:47.190
wasn't it when it was like a 50 -minute wait?

00:32:47.660 --> 00:32:50.160
i'm pretty sure we went back to monsters yeah

00:32:50.160 --> 00:32:53.259
right we went back to monsters but this was when

00:32:53.259 --> 00:32:55.640
it was a 50 minute wait oh yeah yeah we tried

00:32:55.640 --> 00:32:59.279
going to the burning blade tavern yes we went

00:32:59.279 --> 00:33:01.880
to try to get food first before going on monsters

00:33:01.880 --> 00:33:04.220
because it was opened and we were you know what

00:33:04.220 --> 00:33:06.240
we're gonna put hope in it we're gonna expect

00:33:06.240 --> 00:33:08.180
it to be open but we're gonna get food first

00:33:08.180 --> 00:33:11.339
yeah so we're going to burning blade tavern walk

00:33:11.339 --> 00:33:14.059
up to like the bar area he asked me what i wanted

00:33:14.519 --> 00:33:16.759
You can't order food inside the tavern. Can't

00:33:16.759 --> 00:33:19.180
order food inside the tavern. But I did get one

00:33:19.180 --> 00:33:21.160
of the drinks. It was the cool... Pure of heart.

00:33:21.359 --> 00:33:23.880
Pure of heart. They, like, smoke it. It was pretty

00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:26.160
fun. Yeah. They put it in, like, a little glass

00:33:26.160 --> 00:33:29.960
container. Blow smoke at it. Yeah. Or chill smoke?

00:33:30.059 --> 00:33:32.720
I don't know. I have no idea. Anyway, so, that

00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:34.759
was good. I asked him if I can order food here,

00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:36.559
too. He said, nope. You gotta go outside for

00:33:36.559 --> 00:33:39.359
that. So I'm like, okay. Walk outside. Melody

00:33:39.359 --> 00:33:42.059
went to go fill up our freestyle cup. Side note,

00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:45.519
in the very beginning of the day... when we lined

00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:49.039
up to wait for the park to open there was a like

00:33:49.039 --> 00:33:52.119
a universal type it's not a universal store but

00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:55.319
it had merch from all the lands yeah so we go

00:33:55.319 --> 00:33:57.140
in there and we're like oh we want a freestyle

00:33:57.140 --> 00:34:02.039
cup so we're looking around melody try and finding

00:34:02.039 --> 00:34:06.140
a new lanyard holder because her no a new pass

00:34:06.140 --> 00:34:09.239
holder because hers is getting old and grounded

00:34:09.239 --> 00:34:12.699
i got a toothless so you got a toothless pass

00:34:12.699 --> 00:34:16.519
card holder thing yeah ticket holder and i didn't

00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:19.039
know where to get a freestyle cup so they had

00:34:19.039 --> 00:34:22.260
this big freestyle tumbler that said epic universe

00:34:22.260 --> 00:34:27.659
on it 50 50 oh my word worth every penny yes

00:34:27.659 --> 00:34:31.800
we did end up getting it so only because we couldn't

00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:35.679
find the epic one just to make it clear no i

00:34:35.679 --> 00:34:39.619
think i thought for the tumbler you okay now

00:34:39.619 --> 00:34:42.940
okay we got the tumbler I didn't want the tumbler

00:34:42.940 --> 00:34:46.460
at first because my whole idea for this day is

00:34:46.460 --> 00:34:49.840
we brought our big Jurassic Park bag. And I'm

00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:52.320
like, okay, I know the freestyle cups fit in

00:34:52.320 --> 00:34:55.119
this bag. I looked at this tumbler. I'm like,

00:34:55.179 --> 00:34:58.199
this is a lot bigger than a freestyle cup. It's

00:34:58.199 --> 00:34:59.840
probably not going to fit in our bag. I'm like,

00:34:59.900 --> 00:35:00.960
it's probably not going to fit. Because at this

00:35:00.960 --> 00:35:03.159
point, we also hadn't seen any lockers for any

00:35:03.159 --> 00:35:06.159
rides. Yeah. So we had no idea what to expect.

00:35:07.690 --> 00:35:09.909
normal we're used to like hulk lockers but you

00:35:09.909 --> 00:35:12.210
gotta smush it into this little small locker

00:35:12.210 --> 00:35:14.969
yeah so i'm like i don't really want to get this

00:35:14.969 --> 00:35:17.349
but i compared the sizes i'm like okay it looks

00:35:17.349 --> 00:35:19.889
like it's gonna fit and it did it did because

00:35:19.889 --> 00:35:23.070
it i felt weird opening up our backpack and then

00:35:23.070 --> 00:35:26.469
trying to like position this in our bag and then

00:35:26.469 --> 00:35:28.750
having a tm come over and be like are you stealing

00:35:28.750 --> 00:35:30.789
that i'd be like no i'm just seeing if it fits

00:35:30.789 --> 00:35:33.510
i didn't feel bad about it i did i mean we're

00:35:33.510 --> 00:35:35.650
buying it so i didn't feel guilty well they don't

00:35:35.650 --> 00:35:38.239
know that so do you know how many people I think

00:35:38.239 --> 00:35:40.340
I read an article where somebody has already

00:35:40.340 --> 00:35:43.559
been banned from that park for shoplifting. Oh,

00:35:43.719 --> 00:35:46.559
anyway. Anyways. So, no, I did not want to take

00:35:46.559 --> 00:35:48.659
my chances of them thinking I was shoplifting.

00:35:48.800 --> 00:35:51.039
We got the stupidly expensive cup. Anyways, we

00:35:51.039 --> 00:35:53.519
got the stupidly expensive cup. It's, like, double

00:35:53.519 --> 00:35:55.980
the size. It feels double the size. Because,

00:35:56.059 --> 00:35:59.260
like, I was filling it up at our lunch spot today.

00:35:59.460 --> 00:36:02.239
And I was just holding the button. And I'm like,

00:36:02.380 --> 00:36:06.860
when is this going to end? So definitely worth

00:36:06.860 --> 00:36:09.079
the investment. It's the same price to refill

00:36:09.079 --> 00:36:11.400
as a normal freestyle cup. In my opinion, it's

00:36:11.400 --> 00:36:14.860
also better quality. It's a metal tumbler, basically.

00:36:14.860 --> 00:36:17.960
It comes with a thick plastic straw that has

00:36:17.960 --> 00:36:20.400
like a little rubber end on it so it can't come

00:36:20.400 --> 00:36:22.059
all the way off. Which is great when you got

00:36:22.059 --> 00:36:25.039
kids. Or you can just take the straw out and

00:36:25.039 --> 00:36:28.280
sip from it like a normal freestyle cup. Anyways,

00:36:28.579 --> 00:36:32.679
100 % worth the money. Definitely go get that.

00:36:32.989 --> 00:36:34.449
Why did we talk about the cup? Oh, because I

00:36:34.449 --> 00:36:37.150
got a drink while you went to potentially get

00:36:37.150 --> 00:36:39.929
food at the tavern. Right, so you went to get

00:36:39.929 --> 00:36:42.489
a drink, I went to go look at the tavern, and

00:36:42.489 --> 00:36:45.710
that line was long. I'm like, I don't want to

00:36:45.710 --> 00:36:47.489
wait in this line. But we were still hungry.

00:36:47.670 --> 00:36:50.429
Yeah, so where you were getting your drink, they

00:36:50.429 --> 00:36:54.809
also had a Frankenstein pretzel and some type

00:36:54.809 --> 00:36:59.590
of, like, cinnamon... cream cheese ball things

00:36:59.590 --> 00:37:02.610
cream cheese icing they're like little donut

00:37:02.610 --> 00:37:06.409
holes yeah they had cream cheese icing and cinnamon

00:37:06.409 --> 00:37:09.190
on top very good very good and we got a pretzel

00:37:09.190 --> 00:37:11.590
and the pretzel pretzel very good too then we

00:37:11.590 --> 00:37:14.250
got onto monsters 50 minute wait i think we waited

00:37:14.250 --> 00:37:18.469
like 35 minutes and we were yeah it was we didn't

00:37:18.469 --> 00:37:21.230
wait as long technically because When we first

00:37:21.230 --> 00:37:23.230
went on, we kind of got in like the extended

00:37:23.230 --> 00:37:25.710
queue kind of area. But this time we kind of

00:37:25.710 --> 00:37:29.070
walked a lot faster, got to the Frankenstein.

00:37:29.090 --> 00:37:31.650
No, no, we didn't. We got past the Frankenstein

00:37:31.650 --> 00:37:35.190
room. We had to wait farther out in the extended

00:37:35.190 --> 00:37:36.889
queue. Oh, yeah, we did wait in the extended

00:37:36.889 --> 00:37:40.210
queue in the outdoor portion. It was fine. We

00:37:40.210 --> 00:37:42.289
were moving. We weren't too worried. We got to

00:37:42.289 --> 00:37:45.369
the Frankenstein room. I was like, as long as

00:37:45.369 --> 00:37:49.059
we can get past this room, I'm fine. And we did.

00:37:49.679 --> 00:37:52.079
And he looked at me sharply like, don't jinx

00:37:52.079 --> 00:37:55.699
it again. Didn't this ride go down too? I don't

00:37:55.699 --> 00:37:57.980
think it did, actually. Not the second time.

00:37:58.079 --> 00:38:00.139
I thought it did. I don't think it did. Anyway,

00:38:00.199 --> 00:38:02.739
so we did Frankenstein Experiment. In the queue.

00:38:03.099 --> 00:38:06.400
In the queue? You go upstairs. Uh -huh. I'm going

00:38:06.400 --> 00:38:08.639
to say it because I know you're forgetting, but

00:38:08.639 --> 00:38:11.519
I'm going to be mean to myself. Okay. I like

00:38:11.519 --> 00:38:15.739
the stairs. Oh, right. So... When you come out

00:38:15.739 --> 00:38:18.079
of that Frankenstein, dead Frankenstein room,

00:38:18.199 --> 00:38:20.360
you go up some stairs. And, like, the manor.

00:38:20.360 --> 00:38:22.960
And it's, like, this really cool, like, manor

00:38:22.960 --> 00:38:25.619
entranceway, and it looks cool. You got the fancy

00:38:25.619 --> 00:38:27.840
staircase. And then Melody's just like, look

00:38:27.840 --> 00:38:30.519
at these stairs. Because they weren't. They were,

00:38:30.579 --> 00:38:33.039
like, actual stairs. A lot of amusement park

00:38:33.039 --> 00:38:37.139
things, you have, like, the fakie wood or something

00:38:37.139 --> 00:38:40.440
or metal, and they're just boring stairs. I was

00:38:40.440 --> 00:38:42.460
like, this actually feels like it's in a manor.

00:38:42.659 --> 00:38:46.900
Oh, man. Completely ignoring that on the side

00:38:46.900 --> 00:38:49.539
you have these walls of these tortured people

00:38:49.539 --> 00:38:52.800
reaching up to, I think, Victor Frankenstein's

00:38:52.800 --> 00:38:55.460
picture. I think that's who that is. Maybe. The

00:38:55.460 --> 00:38:58.320
original Frankenstein. I don't know. Anyways,

00:38:58.460 --> 00:39:03.320
so you go upstairs, you get in the pre -show

00:39:03.320 --> 00:39:04.940
room. I don't think it was a pre -show. The pre

00:39:04.940 --> 00:39:08.480
-pre -show. Oh, yeah. Where they basically explain

00:39:08.480 --> 00:39:13.190
the ride safety stuff. I guess. The one with

00:39:13.190 --> 00:39:17.949
Igor? No, that's farther. No. Okay, then what

00:39:17.949 --> 00:39:20.329
happens after you go upstairs? You go upstairs,

00:39:20.670 --> 00:39:24.090
there's like a photo thingy where they scan express

00:39:24.090 --> 00:39:26.869
passes. You get to a room with like a big stage

00:39:26.869 --> 00:39:31.030
thingy with videos playing of the different monsters,

00:39:31.110 --> 00:39:34.610
like little homemade movie type stuff of them

00:39:34.610 --> 00:39:37.869
getting attacked by monsters. There is one with

00:39:37.869 --> 00:39:39.789
Igor, that's why you're probably thinking it

00:39:39.789 --> 00:39:43.119
was instructions. and then you go to the next

00:39:43.119 --> 00:39:48.800
room which is a bat in like a bot bat i don't

00:39:48.800 --> 00:39:52.320
i don't know chamber thing circle thing where

00:39:52.320 --> 00:39:54.739
energy is feeding into it and zapping the bat

00:39:54.739 --> 00:39:59.960
okay remember yes okay and then after that then

00:39:59.960 --> 00:40:04.059
i think you go into the room with igor where

00:40:04.059 --> 00:40:07.800
igor is showing you his little robot thing which

00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:09.940
is actually really cool because it shows you

00:40:09.940 --> 00:40:12.500
the right vehicle Yes, it is. But it's a moving

00:40:12.500 --> 00:40:16.280
robot. So, like, on Harry Potter Forbidden Journey,

00:40:16.579 --> 00:40:18.780
you're supposed to kind of, like, imagine that

00:40:18.780 --> 00:40:21.699
there's no arm behind you controlling, you know,

00:40:21.719 --> 00:40:24.760
the couch that you're on. But this? No, they

00:40:24.760 --> 00:40:28.000
fully... They embrace the arm. Yeah. It's like,

00:40:28.039 --> 00:40:30.739
you're on an arm. You're on a couch on an arm.

00:40:31.079 --> 00:40:34.679
Pretty much. You are being controlled by Igor.

00:40:35.400 --> 00:40:38.579
I just... I love Igor in this pre -show. Yeah.

00:40:38.619 --> 00:40:40.699
He's really funny. He is very funny. Anyways.

00:40:41.190 --> 00:40:44.090
So, do the pre -show, then we get into the second

00:40:44.090 --> 00:40:47.389
pre -show room, and oh my word, these two animatronics.

00:40:48.250 --> 00:40:51.690
First you got... Victoria Frankenstein. Is her

00:40:51.690 --> 00:40:54.449
name Victoria? I think so. Okay, that makes sense.

00:40:54.530 --> 00:40:56.690
Then the other guy is probably Victor, then.

00:40:56.969 --> 00:40:59.489
And then you got, you know, Frankenstein. Frankenstein.

00:40:59.889 --> 00:41:04.909
Huge. Huge. And they're both amazing. Like, I

00:41:04.909 --> 00:41:08.690
thought she was real. Like, out of the corner

00:41:08.690 --> 00:41:10.170
of my eye, I thought she was real. More real

00:41:10.170 --> 00:41:13.260
than Umbridge. Probably because I think she just

00:41:13.260 --> 00:41:15.300
is a fake character. Like I said, when you're

00:41:15.300 --> 00:41:17.500
trying to base it off someone real, it's a bit

00:41:17.500 --> 00:41:19.780
harder. But when she's a fictional character

00:41:19.780 --> 00:41:22.699
who doesn't have prior stuff, it's a lot easier.

00:41:23.079 --> 00:41:27.119
But yeah, she was amazing. Anyways, amazing,

00:41:27.239 --> 00:41:29.619
great characters. Then you get on the ride, and

00:41:29.619 --> 00:41:32.280
oh my word, that ride. First you go on a spinny

00:41:32.280 --> 00:41:35.139
circular platform. That was a really cool loading

00:41:35.139 --> 00:41:37.960
thing. Yeah, circular moving platform, loading

00:41:37.960 --> 00:41:40.940
bay thing. Then you get onto your little couch

00:41:40.940 --> 00:41:43.159
thingy, and then you go. Then you go on your

00:41:43.159 --> 00:41:46.380
ride. Go on your ride. Very creepy, honestly.

00:41:46.480 --> 00:41:49.679
Very creepy. It's because they're like kind of

00:41:49.679 --> 00:41:53.099
jump scare type things. Kind of. Think a lot

00:41:53.099 --> 00:41:56.539
of spider jump scare stuff from Forbidden Journey.

00:41:56.719 --> 00:42:00.780
Yes. Like stuff popping at you, but not as fake

00:42:00.780 --> 00:42:06.139
looking as the spider. Not in The Mentors, I

00:42:06.139 --> 00:42:08.869
think it's better to compare to. Yeah. Great

00:42:08.869 --> 00:42:12.610
ride. Yeah, there's... Can I spoil the dumpsters?

00:42:13.030 --> 00:42:16.190
Sure. There's one where you're kind of like in...

00:42:16.190 --> 00:42:19.230
You see like a broken bridge or something. And

00:42:19.230 --> 00:42:21.670
then you drop down and then you're facing the

00:42:21.670 --> 00:42:24.230
creature of the Black Lagoon. Yes. There's some

00:42:24.230 --> 00:42:27.929
parts that might have some people feel slightly

00:42:27.929 --> 00:42:32.409
claustrophobic. So the whole point... The story

00:42:32.409 --> 00:42:35.630
is you're going through the catacombs. And...

00:42:35.980 --> 00:42:39.380
you're in your catacomb crawler machine and that's

00:42:39.380 --> 00:42:41.619
how you get through the catacombs so like you're

00:42:41.619 --> 00:42:44.780
going to spend a lot of time on your back and

00:42:44.780 --> 00:42:47.079
that's why because you're fitting through the

00:42:47.079 --> 00:42:50.639
small spaces of the cat okay because like obviously

00:42:50.639 --> 00:42:55.320
frankenstein's or female victoria's project experiment

00:42:55.320 --> 00:42:59.139
does not go well because she cannot control dracula

00:42:59.139 --> 00:43:03.380
and he got three all of his brides Also go free.

00:43:03.559 --> 00:43:09.099
Even the ugly ones, as Igor would say. Yes. And

00:43:09.099 --> 00:43:12.460
then there's a bunch of other monsters that have

00:43:12.460 --> 00:43:16.119
also gone free. Whatever we're saying is... The

00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:18.940
claustrophobic part is one part you get up to,

00:43:18.960 --> 00:43:22.079
like, the ceiling very close. Yes. And you're

00:43:22.079 --> 00:43:24.179
just kind of scooching along on your back, which

00:43:24.179 --> 00:43:26.619
is what Nick said. But, like I said, that part

00:43:26.619 --> 00:43:28.900
can feel slightly claustrophobic. Words can't

00:43:28.900 --> 00:43:31.389
do this justice. It's so pretty. It was very

00:43:31.389 --> 00:43:34.449
pretty. So pretty. And then the wolfman jump

00:43:34.449 --> 00:43:36.429
-scaring you, that was also really well done.

00:43:36.630 --> 00:43:38.409
That was pretty cool. Alright, moving on. Okay.

00:43:38.570 --> 00:43:40.570
What's next? What do we do after this? Okay,

00:43:40.590 --> 00:43:43.170
so after that, I think that is when we decide

00:43:43.170 --> 00:43:46.550
to head over... To Mario? Yes. Nintendo Land.

00:43:46.809 --> 00:43:50.050
Okay. So we did Nintendo Land, and before we

00:43:50.050 --> 00:43:52.170
even got into that land, I'm like, what are your

00:43:52.170 --> 00:43:54.710
two must -do's, okay? Obviously, you can't choose,

00:43:55.110 --> 00:43:58.210
you know, Harry Potter again, because virtual

00:43:58.210 --> 00:44:00.769
queue. Monsters Unchained, we just did that.

00:44:01.070 --> 00:44:04.869
So your must -do was the Mario Kart ride. No,

00:44:04.869 --> 00:44:07.050
it was not. Yes, it was. No, it was not. What

00:44:07.050 --> 00:44:09.630
was it? Mine Kart. Oh, I could have swore you

00:44:09.630 --> 00:44:11.750
said Mario Kart. I did not. Because you kept

00:44:11.750 --> 00:44:14.949
trying to say, the Mine Kart ride is not great,

00:44:15.010 --> 00:44:17.789
we should do Mario Kart instead. Remember? Whatever.

00:44:18.190 --> 00:44:20.110
I could have swore you said Mario Kart. I did

00:44:20.110 --> 00:44:23.269
not. So we go on Mario Kart because I thought

00:44:23.269 --> 00:44:25.610
you said Mario Kart. Okay, before we go on Mario

00:44:25.610 --> 00:44:28.980
Kart, we go in the portal. Right, we go in the

00:44:28.980 --> 00:44:32.639
portal. Amazing portal. Great portal. Best portal

00:44:32.639 --> 00:44:35.539
in the park. Debatable. No, it is. Debatable.

00:44:35.539 --> 00:44:42.159
If you get to go in the pipe, and you go up an

00:44:42.159 --> 00:44:44.820
escalator, and it's just super cool. And it even

00:44:44.820 --> 00:44:46.820
lights up at night, which made me happy. Yes.

00:44:47.219 --> 00:44:49.800
Anyways, so we go on Mario Kart, because I thought

00:44:49.800 --> 00:44:53.460
that was your must -do. It was posted on the

00:44:53.460 --> 00:44:56.579
app at 35 minutes, I think. I thought it was

00:44:56.579 --> 00:45:01.420
50. No, 35. Oh. And then we got up to the, you

00:45:01.420 --> 00:45:03.900
know, the actual entrance where you can see the

00:45:03.900 --> 00:45:07.199
wait time and it says 120. Oh, okay, yeah. No,

00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:09.420
no, what we saw, well, I think maybe we also

00:45:09.420 --> 00:45:11.920
saw it on the app, but in the park there was

00:45:11.920 --> 00:45:14.380
one of those screens that shows you, oh, you're

00:45:14.380 --> 00:45:17.019
the ride. Oh, yeah, that screen even said 35.

00:45:17.400 --> 00:45:19.539
The ride wait times. And I was like, oh, look,

00:45:19.719 --> 00:45:22.900
Mario Kart 35. Let's go. Yeah. And then we get

00:45:22.900 --> 00:45:26.360
there, it's 120. We're like, ah, well. So I'm

00:45:26.360 --> 00:45:30.440
like, okay. No, your must -do was Mario Kart,

00:45:30.539 --> 00:45:32.219
because I even remember you were like, oh, I

00:45:32.219 --> 00:45:34.760
want to see the technology. I want to see the

00:45:34.760 --> 00:45:38.300
augment stuff. You distinctly talked about wanting

00:45:38.300 --> 00:45:40.420
to see that. No, because I talked that, I said

00:45:40.420 --> 00:45:43.340
that we watched the YouTube video, so I already

00:45:43.340 --> 00:45:45.960
knew what it was like. Whatever. Do not be putting

00:45:45.960 --> 00:45:48.820
words in my mouth. Anyway, so we get on it, because

00:45:48.820 --> 00:45:51.679
we're like, we might as well do it. It was not

00:45:51.679 --> 00:45:55.159
two hours. Not at all. It was, like, at most,

00:45:55.260 --> 00:45:59.340
like... 40 minutes? 45. Yeah. But we get on.

00:45:59.519 --> 00:46:01.360
The queue for that is also super cool. The queue

00:46:01.360 --> 00:46:04.559
was very cute. Yeah. We get our little Mario

00:46:04.559 --> 00:46:08.920
hat to put on. Mm -hmm. We... Look silly. Look

00:46:08.920 --> 00:46:12.320
very silly. But it's fun. We start looking at

00:46:12.320 --> 00:46:14.559
the... Like, they're telling you how to play

00:46:14.559 --> 00:46:17.320
the game. Mm -hmm. And they're like, oh, tap

00:46:17.320 --> 00:46:20.219
your Nintendo bracelet to the thing. And we're

00:46:20.219 --> 00:46:24.340
like, oh, we don't have that. No. Because I didn't

00:46:24.340 --> 00:46:27.320
think we... My whole idea was, oh, we're not

00:46:27.320 --> 00:46:30.920
going to do any of the Nintendo interactive stuff

00:46:30.920 --> 00:46:33.599
this trip. Because we're trying to bounce from

00:46:33.599 --> 00:46:34.420
land to land. Because we're trying to bounce

00:46:34.420 --> 00:46:36.760
from land to land and get all the rides done.

00:46:36.860 --> 00:46:38.719
So we're like, we don't want to hunker down in

00:46:38.719 --> 00:46:43.219
one land and do all that kind of stuff. So we

00:46:43.219 --> 00:46:44.699
skip out on the bands and we're like, oh, well,

00:46:44.739 --> 00:46:47.840
I wish we got the bands now. So we do the ride.

00:46:48.019 --> 00:46:49.880
It doesn't break down while we're in the queue.

00:46:50.510 --> 00:46:52.130
Oh, no, it did break down while we were in the

00:46:52.130 --> 00:46:54.730
queue. Yes, it did. It broke down when we were

00:46:54.730 --> 00:46:57.030
on the stairs. Yes, because we got to sit on

00:46:57.030 --> 00:47:00.650
the stairs. Yes. At this track record, it was

00:47:00.650 --> 00:47:03.090
like everything was breaking down on us. Yeah,

00:47:03.110 --> 00:47:04.789
this was now the fourth ride that has broken

00:47:04.789 --> 00:47:07.909
down on us. So we finally get on the ride, and

00:47:07.909 --> 00:47:10.690
it breaks down while we're in the ride. Yep.

00:47:10.789 --> 00:47:14.050
And that was an extended delay. That took forever.

00:47:14.210 --> 00:47:17.090
So we do the ride. It was a fun ride. It was

00:47:17.090 --> 00:47:20.300
an okay ride. We liked it. Yeah. Especially the

00:47:20.300 --> 00:47:22.780
Rainbow Road part. Man, you get blasted with

00:47:22.780 --> 00:47:25.760
air. Yes, you do. That's definitely a cool -down

00:47:25.760 --> 00:47:30.539
ride. Very fun. It's a must -do. After that,

00:47:30.639 --> 00:47:32.539
we're like, okay, we're a little hungry. I was

00:47:32.539 --> 00:47:35.039
like, do you want to go to Toadstool Cafe? Because

00:47:35.039 --> 00:47:38.119
it's right here. You said yes. We go inside,

00:47:38.239 --> 00:47:41.480
we sit down, and we order. It was actually, it

00:47:41.480 --> 00:47:43.739
looked packed. I think we got like the last available

00:47:43.739 --> 00:47:47.539
table. I saw like another booth, but they just

00:47:47.539 --> 00:47:50.159
put us in the table that was... right there so

00:47:50.159 --> 00:47:55.440
we order food you got the maru the bowser challenge

00:47:55.440 --> 00:47:58.940
meatball thing yeah the one pound meatball yeah

00:47:58.940 --> 00:48:02.099
the one pound meatball that's all i when i looked

00:48:02.099 --> 00:48:04.139
at it i was just like i just want meatball i

00:48:04.139 --> 00:48:05.980
don't care what else comes with it meatball sounds

00:48:05.980 --> 00:48:10.239
good so before you ordered i thought i was like

00:48:10.239 --> 00:48:12.260
oh i'm gonna get the meatball and then you ordered

00:48:12.260 --> 00:48:13.820
i'm like i might as well get something different

00:48:13.820 --> 00:48:16.989
good Good thing that he did. I'm very glad I

00:48:16.989 --> 00:48:19.550
got something different. I got Mario's, like,

00:48:19.610 --> 00:48:22.070
mushroom burger. Without the mushrooms. And I

00:48:22.070 --> 00:48:23.730
said no mushrooms, because there was an option

00:48:23.730 --> 00:48:27.010
for that. And then we also got garlic bread bite

00:48:27.010 --> 00:48:29.150
things. Garlic knots. Garlic knots, but they

00:48:29.150 --> 00:48:31.090
were in the shape of mushrooms. No mushrooms.

00:48:31.409 --> 00:48:33.869
No mush, well. Surprising. Mine had mushrooms.

00:48:34.269 --> 00:48:36.289
Yours had mushrooms? Yeah. Excuse me. In the

00:48:36.289 --> 00:48:38.949
sauce? My meatballs sauce had mushrooms? Oh,

00:48:38.949 --> 00:48:42.090
no, I'm talking about in the garlic bites. Oh,

00:48:42.150 --> 00:48:44.539
no. Yeah, shaped like mushrooms, but no mushrooms.

00:48:44.659 --> 00:48:49.219
So yours was extremely spicy. Yeah, it was surprisingly

00:48:49.219 --> 00:48:51.880
spicy, yeah. And it came, I'm not even talking,

00:48:52.000 --> 00:48:54.659
the sauce was spicy, and it came with an extra

00:48:54.659 --> 00:48:57.360
cup of hot sauce. Yeah, they were like, oh, here,

00:48:57.400 --> 00:49:01.179
it's not hot enough. I think you were supposed

00:49:01.179 --> 00:49:03.840
to take the cup and pour it on. Oh my word. That's

00:49:03.840 --> 00:49:07.400
the challenge. Okay, I'm glad I didn't. Anyways,

00:49:07.440 --> 00:49:09.400
mine was a typical burger. Yours was actually

00:49:09.400 --> 00:49:12.000
pretty good. If it wasn't as spicy, I would have

00:49:12.000 --> 00:49:15.690
got that. And without mushrooms. Yeah. Anyways,

00:49:15.869 --> 00:49:18.230
moving on. What did we do after this? Mine cart.

00:49:18.510 --> 00:49:20.510
Ah, yes. We went and did mine cart because we

00:49:20.510 --> 00:49:22.750
were like, oh, it's only a 25 minute wait. Did

00:49:22.750 --> 00:49:26.329
we get our bands by this point? Yes. You got,

00:49:26.349 --> 00:49:31.030
we were leaving the queue of... mario kart oh

00:49:31.030 --> 00:49:33.269
yeah because we got it in the exit store from

00:49:33.269 --> 00:49:36.550
mario kart and i remember your mom called you

00:49:36.550 --> 00:49:38.829
because you tried facetiming her my little brother

00:49:38.829 --> 00:49:41.730
absolutely loves mario so i wanted to facetime

00:49:41.730 --> 00:49:44.829
yes so you were talking on the phone with your

00:49:44.829 --> 00:49:48.210
mom and then you were taking a survey uh there

00:49:48.210 --> 00:49:50.469
was a team member asking people if they want

00:49:50.469 --> 00:49:52.789
to take a survey so i always take the surveys

00:49:52.789 --> 00:49:55.730
if they ask me so i took the survey i took the

00:49:55.730 --> 00:49:58.230
survey and you went to go look around the store

00:49:59.199 --> 00:50:02.059
And that's when we bought the Nintendo Bands.

00:50:02.059 --> 00:50:05.239
If you need a power band, go to the cashier.

00:50:05.360 --> 00:50:07.780
That is where you get them. Because we searched

00:50:07.780 --> 00:50:10.260
that entrance store where we got my Toothless

00:50:10.260 --> 00:50:13.079
thingy and the cup. We could not find the power

00:50:13.079 --> 00:50:16.320
bands. Just to find out later, oh, you just need

00:50:16.320 --> 00:50:19.099
to go up to the cashier and ask. Yeah. So we

00:50:19.099 --> 00:50:21.440
got the power bands. It took us a minute to figure

00:50:21.440 --> 00:50:22.760
out how to pair them, but they're actually very

00:50:22.760 --> 00:50:26.280
easy to pair. You go into the app, go under Nintendo

00:50:26.280 --> 00:50:29.699
World when you're actually in the park. I think.

00:50:29.880 --> 00:50:32.019
You might be able to do this at home. Anyways,

00:50:32.199 --> 00:50:34.880
when you're in the park, at least, go to Nintendo

00:50:34.880 --> 00:50:38.420
World section, scroll over to Interactive or

00:50:38.420 --> 00:50:41.239
Entertainment or whatever, click on that, and

00:50:41.239 --> 00:50:44.280
then hit play. Then it'll ask you to pair a new

00:50:44.280 --> 00:50:47.539
band. You do that, you make a profile, bada bing,

00:50:47.539 --> 00:50:51.380
bada boom, you're good. Moving on. We ran around,

00:50:51.480 --> 00:50:54.820
did a couple, like, you know, coin... thingies

00:50:54.820 --> 00:50:57.139
punch some things yeah you gotta punch those

00:50:57.139 --> 00:50:59.079
bricks and that's not as fun as i thought it

00:50:59.079 --> 00:51:02.079
would be walked over to donkey kong and did that

00:51:02.079 --> 00:51:05.500
i was not expecting that so okay the queue it

00:51:05.500 --> 00:51:08.039
was an outdoor queue it was an okay queue i think

00:51:08.039 --> 00:51:10.699
the only good thing about it is that uh cranky

00:51:10.699 --> 00:51:13.920
kong yeah isn't it it's a big animatronic but

00:51:13.920 --> 00:51:16.380
everything else was like kind of meh it was just

00:51:16.380 --> 00:51:19.500
like a temple kind of thing i was not expecting

00:51:19.500 --> 00:51:22.900
that ride to be as fast yeah it looks slower

00:51:23.799 --> 00:51:25.480
When they're taking the turns, they're like,

00:51:25.519 --> 00:51:27.380
ah, they speed up around the turn, but everything

00:51:27.380 --> 00:51:29.659
else is kind of like, oh, you just boop, and

00:51:29.659 --> 00:51:32.219
then you're going. It doesn't look as fast as

00:51:32.219 --> 00:51:35.079
it feels. It is very jerky. And it's very jerky.

00:51:35.239 --> 00:51:38.440
Very bumpy, very jerky. Good ride. It was actually

00:51:38.440 --> 00:51:40.380
a lot of fun. I would do it again. And short.

00:51:41.539 --> 00:51:44.980
Also should, yeah, both Werewolf and Minecart,

00:51:45.079 --> 00:51:47.099
they were pretty short rides. I don't think this

00:51:47.099 --> 00:51:51.480
one broke down, did it? It didn't? No, it didn't.

00:51:51.500 --> 00:51:54.719
Oh, no, it did. It did. Because we sat near Cranky

00:51:54.719 --> 00:51:57.820
Kong. Because you sat under the bar. Or I told

00:51:57.820 --> 00:51:59.719
you to sit under the bar, I think. Didn't it?

00:52:00.239 --> 00:52:04.059
No, it didn't. You sure? I am sure. Okay. Anyways,

00:52:04.159 --> 00:52:07.960
so we did that. What did we do after that? After

00:52:07.960 --> 00:52:10.539
that... This is when we started, like, bouncing

00:52:10.539 --> 00:52:11.840
around. Yeah. Because we were like, oh, we're

00:52:11.840 --> 00:52:14.920
doing a lot more than we thought. Because, yeah,

00:52:15.000 --> 00:52:18.849
it wasn't even six. Ah! It wasn't even six. We

00:52:18.849 --> 00:52:21.769
wanted to see the Harry Potter show. Oh, right.

00:52:21.869 --> 00:52:25.889
So we go over to that land. Because we looked

00:52:25.889 --> 00:52:29.590
on the app and the first show that we were able

00:52:29.590 --> 00:52:34.050
to go to was at 515. Yes. So we're like, okay,

00:52:34.110 --> 00:52:37.349
we're going to make this show. We beeline it

00:52:37.349 --> 00:52:41.130
over, getting all the, you know, Mario touch

00:52:41.130 --> 00:52:43.510
points on the way. That we can find at least.

00:52:44.090 --> 00:52:48.610
And we get over to... Harry Potter land just

00:52:48.610 --> 00:52:51.750
for the sign to say closed. And I go up to the

00:52:51.750 --> 00:52:53.590
team member and I'm like, hey, is it closed just

00:52:53.590 --> 00:52:56.329
for this time because it was timed after? Or

00:52:56.329 --> 00:52:58.170
is it closed for the entire day? And they're

00:52:58.170 --> 00:52:59.989
like, yeah, it's closed for the rest of the day.

00:53:00.110 --> 00:53:01.829
Which was disappointing. Which was disappointing.

00:53:02.110 --> 00:53:05.130
So we were like, okay, that's fine. So we leave

00:53:05.130 --> 00:53:07.429
that land and we're like, let's go to Berk and

00:53:07.429 --> 00:53:10.809
let's go see the Untrainable Dragon. Which was

00:53:10.809 --> 00:53:15.449
at 6, I think? 6 .15, I think. 6 .30. 6 .30.

00:53:15.849 --> 00:53:18.650
yes because i remember we got over there did

00:53:18.650 --> 00:53:21.010
we do a ride 5 30. i don't know it was one of

00:53:21.010 --> 00:53:25.230
those times it was 5 30 because we got there

00:53:25.230 --> 00:53:29.590
around five right oh yeah it was so we get into

00:53:29.590 --> 00:53:33.230
that land uh it wasn't quite 5 30 yet and we

00:53:33.230 --> 00:53:35.070
saw they weren't letting people in so we're like

00:53:35.070 --> 00:53:38.389
oh maybe they opened it up closer to 5 30. so

00:53:38.389 --> 00:53:41.739
we're like let's look around the shop We see

00:53:41.739 --> 00:53:44.119
a big group go up. They kind of get turned away

00:53:44.119 --> 00:53:46.659
and then we kind of like, oh. No, we were in

00:53:46.659 --> 00:53:49.139
the shop. We shopped around. We left the shop.

00:53:49.460 --> 00:53:52.199
We went and sat down in front of the, you know,

00:53:52.199 --> 00:53:55.239
entrance area. Not in front of it, but like on

00:53:55.239 --> 00:53:59.139
a rock. Near it. Near it. Then a big group went

00:53:59.139 --> 00:54:00.760
up. They got turned away. We're like, oh, let's

00:54:00.760 --> 00:54:03.840
go ask. We walk up and they're like, yeah, the

00:54:03.840 --> 00:54:06.960
show's been canceled. We're like, great. So we

00:54:06.960 --> 00:54:09.789
leave that. And at this point, Hiccup's wing

00:54:09.789 --> 00:54:12.230
glider had said close. So we're like, okay, that's

00:54:12.230 --> 00:54:14.690
not opening up anytime soon. So we go over to,

00:54:14.909 --> 00:54:18.769
what was that one ride? Not wing glider. It was

00:54:18.769 --> 00:54:22.829
fly racer? Fly racer? I don't know. Racer challenge

00:54:22.829 --> 00:54:25.170
something? The one where you're like sitting

00:54:25.170 --> 00:54:26.829
in this thing and you can like rock the thing

00:54:26.829 --> 00:54:28.469
back and forth and you can like control your

00:54:28.469 --> 00:54:32.969
wings. Yes. We do that. Cue was uneventful. Long.

00:54:33.289 --> 00:54:35.570
Long. Because there's two of them and one of

00:54:35.570 --> 00:54:38.800
them was down. for the majority of our waiting

00:54:38.800 --> 00:54:42.539
yeah and also some of the dragons were also down

00:54:42.539 --> 00:54:45.059
in the one that was open yeah so it was very

00:54:45.059 --> 00:54:47.900
limited event by the time we had gotten up both

00:54:47.900 --> 00:54:49.940
were open and all the dragons were available

00:54:49.940 --> 00:54:52.619
to ride but that was like when we had already

00:54:52.619 --> 00:54:56.300
waited for a long time yes so we get on that

00:54:56.300 --> 00:54:58.659
we do that halfway through the key we're like

00:54:58.659 --> 00:55:02.940
oh hiccups wing gliders is going because i saw

00:55:02.940 --> 00:55:06.219
a train so we get off the that one ride and we

00:55:06.219 --> 00:55:08.460
i was successfully able to go upside down i was

00:55:08.460 --> 00:55:11.199
very proud of myself you we walk over to hiccup

00:55:11.199 --> 00:55:14.719
swing glider and now it says 25 minutes maybe

00:55:14.719 --> 00:55:18.679
25 to 35. awesome i think that one wins the most

00:55:18.679 --> 00:55:22.659
boring queue hiccup swing glider yeah yeah because

00:55:22.659 --> 00:55:27.340
it's like outside oh yeah there is it is just

00:55:27.340 --> 00:55:30.739
switchbacks you know so is uh the other dragon

00:55:30.739 --> 00:55:34.179
they're yeah bird lines are kind of lame yeah

00:55:34.179 --> 00:55:37.340
so we get up on a hiccups wing glider do that

00:55:37.340 --> 00:55:39.840
doesn't break down while we're in line breaks

00:55:39.840 --> 00:55:44.119
down while we are on the ride which in a section

00:55:44.119 --> 00:55:46.380
that we weren't expecting because apparently

00:55:46.380 --> 00:55:48.679
there's a section where you go up and you rock

00:55:48.679 --> 00:55:51.099
back down and then babies hatch and then you're

00:55:51.099 --> 00:55:53.639
supposed to shoot forward again so because we

00:55:53.639 --> 00:55:56.659
went up we came back down and i had my hands

00:55:56.659 --> 00:55:58.719
up for the ride so i'm just i have my hands up

00:55:58.719 --> 00:56:01.699
i'm just prepared for the shoot forward, but

00:56:01.699 --> 00:56:04.480
we're not shooting forward. So I'm like, I don't

00:56:04.480 --> 00:56:06.900
want to put my hands down, and then we just get

00:56:06.900 --> 00:56:09.760
shot forward. So I have my hands awkwardly up

00:56:09.760 --> 00:56:12.239
for a little bit. I wasn't the only one, so I

00:56:12.239 --> 00:56:15.000
didn't look that stupid. But eventually everyone's

00:56:15.000 --> 00:56:16.820
hands just kind of go down. They're like, okay.

00:56:17.119 --> 00:56:19.480
And then a train comes up behind us, and we're

00:56:19.480 --> 00:56:22.800
like, ah, we're stuck. I kind of figured before

00:56:22.800 --> 00:56:24.400
that. And then randomly it just shoots us forward.

00:56:24.639 --> 00:56:28.039
No, it didn't. Remember when the announcement

00:56:28.039 --> 00:56:31.519
went on? of oh yeah stay seated in your seats

00:56:31.519 --> 00:56:34.559
the ride can unexpectedly start and while he's

00:56:34.559 --> 00:56:37.320
in the middle of saying unexpectedly start that's

00:56:37.320 --> 00:56:39.780
when we shoot forward that was funny it was perfect

00:56:39.780 --> 00:56:43.699
timing it was so great anyway so we do that leave

00:56:43.699 --> 00:56:47.260
that land i think at this point we had done everything

00:56:47.260 --> 00:56:49.199
that we would wanted to do yeah at this point

00:56:49.199 --> 00:56:51.519
we were just like what did we do now oh i think

00:56:51.519 --> 00:56:54.769
we went over to stardust Yes. At this point,

00:56:54.789 --> 00:56:57.409
we wanted to ride Stardust Racers while it was

00:56:57.409 --> 00:57:00.530
daytime. Yeah, so we did Stardust Racers. Amazing

00:57:00.530 --> 00:57:04.469
ride. Oh, my word. It is on par with Velocicoaster.

00:57:04.530 --> 00:57:07.650
I put my hands up. There's a lot of big hat type

00:57:07.650 --> 00:57:11.949
of moments to me. Yes. Lots of hilly, uppy downies

00:57:11.949 --> 00:57:15.590
all over the place. just amazing ride of 10 out

00:57:15.590 --> 00:57:19.030
of 10 super fast that first launch is amazing

00:57:19.030 --> 00:57:22.070
it you start it you do like a small launch and

00:57:22.070 --> 00:57:24.789
you think it's done and you think it's the launch

00:57:24.789 --> 00:57:27.690
huh you think it's the launch like yeah we got

00:57:27.690 --> 00:57:30.969
launched yeah you get the first launch and as

00:57:30.969 --> 00:57:33.309
you're launching you you feel the acceleration

00:57:33.309 --> 00:57:35.760
you're like okay this is a fun launch and then

00:57:35.760 --> 00:57:39.099
it hits that double tap and you get shot for

00:57:39.099 --> 00:57:42.619
even faster i already thought we were going fast

00:57:42.619 --> 00:57:45.760
then we like you're like ah so that was really

00:57:45.760 --> 00:57:48.219
fun now at this point we're like oh what do we

00:57:48.219 --> 00:57:51.559
do because both shows are down we wanted to ride

00:57:51.559 --> 00:57:56.219
rides at night so we kind of had to meander at

00:57:56.219 --> 00:57:58.179
this point we're like i think we did monsters

00:57:58.179 --> 00:58:02.719
unchained again We left there, went and did Nintendo,

00:58:03.099 --> 00:58:04.980
Mario Kart again. We did Mario Kart again, with

00:58:04.980 --> 00:58:06.460
the power band this time. With the power band.

00:58:06.639 --> 00:58:08.820
Which didn't really do anything except... Gave

00:58:08.820 --> 00:58:12.079
us points. I guess. We both got over 100 coins

00:58:12.079 --> 00:58:14.219
for both runs. Yes, we did. We did well. And

00:58:14.219 --> 00:58:16.599
then we got off that, and at this point it was

00:58:16.599 --> 00:58:18.719
like night time. We were like, okay, let's go...

00:58:18.719 --> 00:58:21.900
Hit Werewolf, then... Hit Werewolf, then Sardis

00:58:21.900 --> 00:58:24.519
Racers, and then head down. So we do Werewolf,

00:58:24.639 --> 00:58:27.340
five minute wait. It was actually probably less.

00:58:27.960 --> 00:58:30.960
yeah do that get off it start heading towards

00:58:30.960 --> 00:58:34.500
stardust racers get in line it says 15 minutes

00:58:34.500 --> 00:58:37.539
but the queue is lined up outside yeah we were

00:58:37.539 --> 00:58:40.659
and i look at melody and i'm like this is not

00:58:40.659 --> 00:58:43.139
a 15 minute wait because the way it works is

00:58:43.139 --> 00:58:46.420
you come in the queue there's a bunch of switchbacks

00:58:46.420 --> 00:58:49.820
outside and then you have like your lockers and

00:58:49.820 --> 00:58:52.119
then you go up some stairs and then there's some

00:58:52.119 --> 00:58:57.159
switchbacks to security then security And then

00:58:57.159 --> 00:58:58.739
there's some more switchbacks, and then you get

00:58:58.739 --> 00:59:01.280
on the loading platform. I look at Melanie, I'm

00:59:01.280 --> 00:59:03.019
like, this is not 15 minutes, and we have to

00:59:03.019 --> 00:59:05.539
be out of this park by 9 o 'clock to be home

00:59:05.539 --> 00:59:08.360
to our children. And we had still yet to do our

00:59:08.360 --> 00:59:12.079
last minute shopping. Yes. So we hop out of line.

00:59:12.420 --> 00:59:15.059
Skip dinner. Skip dinner, go do our last minute

00:59:15.059 --> 00:59:20.239
shopping, and leave the park at 9 .30 -ish. We

00:59:20.239 --> 00:59:24.679
got good traffic. Yes. Honestly. We are two minutes

00:59:24.679 --> 00:59:27.360
away from home. And... That's also going to be

00:59:27.360 --> 00:59:30.039
our signal for the end of our episode. Yep. Before

00:59:30.039 --> 00:59:35.300
we finish, they're adopting Disney habits. So

00:59:35.300 --> 00:59:38.699
a lot of these rides, you don't have to put your

00:59:38.699 --> 00:59:41.320
stuff in a locker for them. Also, lockers are

00:59:41.320 --> 00:59:44.420
bigger. So lockers are bigger. That is another

00:59:44.420 --> 00:59:47.420
reason why I'm advocating for this big $50 tumbler.

00:59:47.480 --> 00:59:51.739
This big $50 tumbler sits upright in the lockers.

00:59:51.780 --> 00:59:54.420
Mm -hmm. So if this can fit in the lockers, a

00:59:54.420 --> 00:59:56.440
normal freestyle cup can fit in the lockers without

00:59:56.440 --> 00:59:59.139
tipping over or spilling. No more spilling. That's

00:59:59.139 --> 01:00:00.860
probably why they did bigger lockers. They're

01:00:00.860 --> 01:00:03.340
tired of people putting drinks in and making

01:00:03.340 --> 01:00:04.840
a mess of the lockers. Anyways, most rides are

01:00:04.840 --> 01:00:07.360
you put your bags at your feet and you're good

01:00:07.360 --> 01:00:10.059
to go. And all of them are also, if you do have

01:00:10.059 --> 01:00:11.800
to put them in the locker, they're the double

01:00:11.800 --> 01:00:14.480
-sided lockers. Yeah, so the only lockers we

01:00:14.480 --> 01:00:18.920
had to use were pickup swing gliders, unchained,

01:00:18.980 --> 01:00:22.469
stardust, and I think that's it. I feel like

01:00:22.469 --> 01:00:25.329
there was one that was unexpected. Was it just

01:00:25.329 --> 01:00:29.449
doing gliders? Oh, also the one where you rock

01:00:29.449 --> 01:00:32.710
back and forth. But those are just like cubbyholes.

01:00:33.070 --> 01:00:37.769
Oh, the circular dragon ride. Yeah, anyways.

01:00:37.989 --> 01:00:40.849
Alright, we are home. So, that's the end of our

01:00:40.849 --> 01:00:43.429
episode. That is the end. You're welcome. Bye

01:00:43.429 --> 01:00:44.329
-bye. Bye -bye.
