Revenge of the mummy and escape from gringott's are amazing dark ride/coaster hybrids. The first time I went on the mummy, I had no idea it had coaster sections. I thought it was going to be a traditional dark ride. The coaster sections really took me by surprise.

[@JakeCoasters]

So glad you all enjoyed yourself. IOA is the g.o.a.t. but Studios is the OG where it all started

[@CoasterDash]

It definitely holds its own

[@ForRJ]

Bourne Stuntacular its awesome, one of the best shows, for me top 3 jaw dropping show or ride that you have to see.

[@indykirchenbauerracing1709]

we need more Sam on the channel best coaster dash duo

[@isaacmadrigaljr3333]

Nah bro I feel like they datin idk....That tho

[@chrissegura1246]

You’re still killing it with the vlogs man. And the wooden warrior girl rip ride rocket post ride review was cool to see her personality shine through. Keep it up. You’re one of my fav coaster accounts cause you have genuine reactions that don’t gate keep and have positive outlooks.

[@CoasterDash]

Thank you! I appreciate the compliments. Sam can be a little camera-shy, but she’s been getting better.

[@danielward4868]

Hollywood Rip Ride Rock It is an underrated coaster, but I got the front row so I understand why some don't like it as much. The Mummy was my favourite ride in the park

[@wboyajian]

I come here for three things: mummy, HHN, and the diagon alley ice cream

[@darkwhale-og9ig]

Perfect thing to do is do Islands for a day. Then do this park for half a day and catch the hogwarts express back to islands again for night rides on Veloci and Hagrids!

[@CoasterDash]

That would’ve been awesome if we had a park hopper!

[@carrotkate]

I've been going to Universal with my 3 cousins a few times last year (our favorite rides were E.T., MIB, Escape from Gringotts, and Revenge of The Mummy. ) It really is a great park. This is my first time on this channel but I'm glad to see you guys had a good time!

[@TheNinjaDC]

Why does Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit exist? *Because B&M was busy.* Universal Orlando was inspired to do a music themed coaster after the success of Hollywood Dream at Universal Japan, a B&M mini hyper that had on board audio music you pick. However, B&M had a full construction backlog that was several years deep. Instead of waiting, they went with an offer from Maurer. They found out why Maurer didn't have a backlog of orders. Imagine if they would have waited, and got a B&M hyper/giga that danced throughout USF.

[@CoasterDash]

If that’s true, i’m disappointed they didn’t wait for B&M to do their thing.

[@CoasterFreak59]

I remember going on Gringotts and having no idea it was a rollercoaster of any kind. That tilt track caught me off guard so much!

[@OGGAMERDEMOLISHER]

Bro you the best explainer of rollercoster, usually I get bored but you make it sound interesting

[@michael7054]

Great video! Those rides looked really good! Great to see you and your friend Samantha had a good time!

[@CoasterDash]

Thanks Michael!

[@michael7054]

@@CoasterDash You're very welcome!

[@IAmMiami]

HRR used to have at least 20 songs and a secret menu. Glad it was open for you guys.

[@ebw16256]

Love this park but it needs a lot of love.

[@NicoliRides]

We need more coasters with onboard coaster dash intro music

[@DannyXNightmarez]

Had to do a double take at the title. For a sec i was like "Marc, youve already been to Universal on this trip" but then i rememebred that was Islands of Adventurr and not the main park

[@ScottyMania313]

The world would be a safer and more beautiful place if ET was the American President today 😿 Bless you ET 🥰

[@zacg_]

This is probably the weirdest park in central Florida, mostly because it has such a bizarre identity crisis. It really doesn't know what it's supposed to be about. That said, I think it's handling its identity crisis better than Hollywood Studios or EPCOT because those parks have completely lost their way. I wish Hollywood still had ET. It used to be there when I was a kid. The two USH rides I'll never get over losing are ET and Back to the Future. I'm glad ET is still available at USF.

[@DJWezzyK]

Universal said that Gringotss is a combination of Vekoma, Intamin and Dynamic attractions combined. There was also a 4th company involved which I forgot.

[@morganmcmahon3021]

This was the most anticipated vlog of this trip for me since neither of you guys have gone here in forever and it DELIVERED. I had so many great memories and laughs at this park the 2 times I went. And have to commend you on picking Darude’s Sandstorm😎🎧👏🏻I was bummed when they took away Harder Better Faster Stronger and even my mom enjoyed her ride with Cypress Hill’s Insane in the Brain. But at least there’s plenty more Daft Punk on Tron Lightcycle🤖

[@CoasterDash]

I’m glad it lived up to expectations! Definitely wish Daft Punk was still featured on Rip Ride Rockit, but Darude Sandstorm will do too 😆

[@morganmcmahon3021]

@@CoasterDash Oh absolutely anyone that enjoys EDM goes bonkers for Sandstorm👍🏻

[@drewcorry5056]

Absolutely Outstanding

[@VelocicoasterFanboy]

Universal baby!

[@mesetaplays]

HRRR still has a secret song menu you can look up online. It’s very hit and miss that it will work though. I got it to work on one car and then didn’t the next.

[@zacg_]

If you ever were able to ride Curse of DarKastle, Escape from Gringotts feels like a cross between DarKastle and DarKoaster but with a Universal budget. DarKastle would pause you in front of a screen (like Adventures of Spider-Man) but then you'd move through the dark atmosphere and feel like your ride vehicle is falling down or tipping over. So just add in the lighting effects, dark atmosphere and launches of DarKoaster and a Harry Potter theme and you've got Gringotts.

[@ryanmcdonnell5988]

I finally get to ride Revenge of the Mummy for the first time in 13 years

[@TheNo.1nerd-lookin-noob]

Why did your intro hit so hard on rip ride rockit!?😂

[@CoasterDash]

That’s what i’m saying 😂

[@TheNo.1nerd-lookin-noob]

@@CoasterDash they need to add it!

[@happycoasterdad]

Awesome video - looks like so much fun!

[@CoasterDash]

Thank you!

[@ForRJ]

@costerdash I went to the Bourne show on 1/25 and the same thing happened in the middle of the show, they said that there was a malfunction and they were working on it and they started telling how the show works, I think it’s like a break for the actors to get ready for the next scene.

[@sirbossk]

Glad you liked this park! I was pleasantly surprised with it when I visited last year. With all the crap it gets in the community, I was honestly expecting worse. Still far inferior to Islands of Adventure, and I agree that it should be the next candidate for investment once Epic Universe is out the door. But it's still a fun time as is!

[@CoasterDash]

Well said, couldn’t agree more!

[@zacg_]

I'm curious what your favorite shooter dark rides are. Men In Black is definitely my favorite followed by Flooded Mine and then there's a huge drop off. I find shooter dark rides to be underwhelming unless they can stand on their own without the shooting effect and Men In Black definitely can.

[@Thelightning1out]

Bro I’m going here in April this vlog will help me so much, thank you also I backed out on their x-car rip ride rockit 💀💀 can’t blame me as I was 9 at the time Also fun fact! Ones of my mom’s friends husband actually made that dragon effect on the gringotts bank for universal!

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

Transformers has grown off me like crazy. It’s the equivalent of a Disney live-action remake of Spider-Man for me. Fortunately, that ride being overrated is countered by The Simpsons Ride being mad underrated.

[@kmccurdy21]

Simpsons ride makes me sick as heck. I was ok as a kid though when it was back to the future.

[@morganmcmahon3021]

The Simpsons ride is so chaotic😂😂I couldn’t help, but laugh since so many things happen and Bart’s, “You soiled your pants for the last time!”

[@Mononoke18]

i MIGHT be eating a Stanley cup rn. 😼

[@c.c.l6009]

15:07 The girl on the back be like: 😜🤟

[@bassjasinski]

I never understood why the Gringotts elevator takes you to the basement but then you have to walk up two flights of stairs to the coaster, better to just stop two floors earlier 😂

[@CoasterDash]

Huh, I didn’t think about that. Very strange 😆

[@Veste7182]

The layout is probably similar to Haunted Mansion, where you go 'underground' to get to the show building behind the mansion facade.

[@dashkataey1740]

The elevator doesn't actually go anywhere. It's all on the same floor as where you walked in at. You have to walk up the stairs cause the coaster doesn't have a lift hill in it.

[@verybighomer]

You need to watch MIB!

[@gxbrl0]

What camera are you using to film this?

[@indykirchenbauerracing1709]

sup I love your vids

[@isaacmadrigaljr3333]

Is ride rocket the one Kevin hart ride cuz it looked like

[@toymanisthebesth]

Are you guys going to Islands of Adventure as well?

[@k9feces]

They have a vlog up already

[@CoasterDash]

Our Islands of Adventure video is already up on the channel. Go check it out!

[@tyheimerl2628]

Was disappointed in gringotts personally. Thought it was one of the most meh rides in the entire resort. Anything with 3D glasses basically is a middle finger to 1/3 of the population. Mummy slaps though!

[@isaacmadrigaljr3333]

Universal seems boring asf to me imo but I never been there....

[@isaacmadrigaljr3333]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@crveech]

Revenge of the Mummy and Escape from Gringotts are the best rides there. Rip Ride Rocket is fun but not great. Transformers is fun but Spider-Man is better. I actually don't care for MIB. Everything else is forgettable. I noticed you didn't do Fast and the Furious which is the worst ride Universal has ever made. They just haven't invested a lot in this park lately. It really needs more.

[@CoasterDash]

Yeah, I had no desire to ride Fast and Furious after everything i’ve heard about it. Would love to see some major investments in this park!

[@1ronEntertainment]

Unpopular opinion: rip ride rockit is top 50 in the country, better than hulk

[@CoasterGuy2323]

It’s legitimately one of the worst large scale coasters I’ve ever ridden. It’s just absolutely terribly designed. Nothing besides the non inverting loop (which also sucks) is even a real element. Just pointless meandering. Has zero forces whatsoever besides jackhammering

[@ForRJ]

Don’t know about top 50, but agree that it’s better and more fun than Hulk.

[@coasterswithmatt]

It's not top 50, but I do love the airtime so I do actually like it better than Hulk!

[@evan9902]

I don’t agree that it’s top 50 in the country or better than hulk but I will say it’s definitely an overhated ride and it’s pure fun

[@Keystone_Koasters]

Agreed

[@just-dashin]

🧀

[@isaacmadrigaljr3333]

You always put that damn camera on her face....

[@history_leisure]

Universal doesn't own Universal Music, it was spun off in 2004. Like Universal Music Japan has a thing with Disney Music Group. The company is formerly based in the Netherlands apparently: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Music_Group
