Would you ever consider doing a ‘Best Drinks’ series? Going around the different Disney & Universal parks and pointing out the drinks you think are most worth the bang for your buck? Love the vids as always

[@TopTierKnees]

After a day of that they can film "best and worst bathrooms to throw up in" 😂

I think it’d be fun if they did a drinking around the world video with all three of them, so Max could show off the best sodas/non-alcoholic bevvies too!

[@chelseapaine6290]

Fun fact about animal actors: know crystal the monkey? As in, the monkey from friends, night at the museum, George of the jungle, anything they need a monkey for? She started on animal actors, and her handler was a newbie that she was just given to. Now she’s the highest paid animal actor in the industry and her handler is an incredibly lucky dude who just worked at universal.

[@KKeevee]

In defense of Richter Burger, the food was much more fun to get when the theming felt more in-synch with the surrounding land. Not having an Earthquake attraction next door now makes the restaurant feel invisible in the land as it stands today. Sad really 😥

[@b6q584]

Kind of orphaned now, probably makes it more difficult for the staff to be energized and on stage. Just another ho hum burger joint

[@genageeraert8039]

I had the pleasure of meeting Paul Walker multiple times when he filmed a movie in our small town. He was an incredibly sweet and humble person. I was very sad when he passed.

[@LaLunaLady]

Love the new 'do, Molly! It's very flattering and I would imagine it will be a lot cooler for the upcoming summer!

[@MrMadshepherd]

You can never run out of different ways to experience the theme parks

[@MicheleKlinger]

This series is AMAZING! Its fascinating seeing what people rate best and worst. As someone whose more of a Disney girlie and learned more about Universal in recent years, the fact there are people who might base their whole vacations around these reviews boggles my mind. IMAGINE SOMEONE SKIPPED F&F BECAUSE REVIEWS SAID IT WAS THE WORST?!?! That would make me so sad for them

Great video! I'm planning a trip to Universal studios,and these videos are so helpful. And Molly, your hair looks fabulous!

[@jaimeepperson6716]

I’m so glad you’ve had more Universal content recently, since I’m going for the first time 3 weeks from now! I’m fairly familiar and confident with Disney, but clueless when it comes to Universal, so thank you for doing more content there recently!

[@candycemonroe7345]

Molly I would love to see you review other theme parks... Like Dollywood or other us park outside of Florida or California.

[@jaimeepperson6716]

Yaaaassssss Dollywood! I would happily meet them there and show them around the park. I also have a friend that works at the water park there 😉

[@amysears1829]

We did Bourne and the Animal Actors show on our last trip. I much preferred the animals, lol. Bourne was good, just longer than I feel it needs to be, as well. I need to watch the Horror show, it was too long a wait between for our tired group last trip. The lobby is freaking fabulous tho!!

[@hblicensedgaspasser7257]

I love your videos and they have helped me plan wonderful vacations to Universal and Disney. I was wondering if you could do a best way to conquer the park on a rainy day tips and tricks video. I’ve planned and researched for an upcoming trip and the first 2 days are 80% rain expected haha. It’s probably too late to help me, but it would be a great resource

Ahh we saw you just before richter burger! Looking fab loved the skirt

[@LChatmanFL]

Molly I am with you... The FnF queue is actually quite nice. The pre show is underrated. The ride itself is way too loud and chaotic. If it had some real fire effects that might help.

[@Tinable]

That Bourne Stuntacular is so good. Don't sleep on that ride. I was so amazed with it. I liked the Terminator show but man it's so good.

[@justinpatrick7899]

I love these videos. It's always interesting to see how the reviews match up with my opinion. I've never eaten at Richter's Burgers but Wimpy's (in IOA) has a great burger. Revenge of the Mummy is a lot of fun but Escape from Gringotts is the best ride in USF imo. Kang and Kodos is the worst ride in USF but F&F is the most disappointing. I knew F&F could open near the trip my wife and I took that year and I LOVE the franchise so I kept checking and I finally saw it would open 2 or 3 days before our trip. I was psyched. Then we rode it and I was incredibly disappointed. All 3 shows at USF are really fun in their own way but my favorite is Animal Actors, then Bourne, then Horror Makeup.

[@lesliereynolds4492]

I got the brisket a year ago and it was amazing. Stuffed to the top. All the other people in line had ordered the sweet ones and they were all saying they wished they ordered mine. Love all the theming at the Univeral parks.

[@lenaapple1974]

My mobile order for the Greek place in IOA said it would be ready at 1:15 pm, i waited til after 2:30 trying to give them some benefit of doubt... - management had no clue the guy kept walking away from the windows not answering anyone. I finally had them refund me and without even an apology from them ... just a note - i almost passed out b/c my blood sugar was so low. (I couldn't even walk to the table). My siblings waited on the line and received their food, and finished eating by 1:30. I have never seen such poor management at any food establishment ever in universal.

[@colinholder5438]

31:00 That’s hilarious & the Family deserves the credit

[@Jim222001]

When I wanted to ride everything I missed from my first day by 1:00 pm. Since I had Horror Nights later on. I was thinking I did everything and then went passed Fast and the Furious. I was like “oh no” 😂. It winded up actually being the longest wait I had too. Even with Fast Pass. Anyway it should have been like Test Track. Accept Don’s car is next to you and you’re supposed to be racing him.

[@texasburbs4380]

I am a casual park goer....VERY casual but I somehow found you Molly and just love you! I am planning my first Universal visit hopefully next year, mainly interested in Harry Potter so I just love watching your reviews...With the new park scheduled to open in January and kids still being in school in the US, how insane do you think it will be?

[@adntigger71015]

The Mummy?! Did these people even RIDE Escape From Gringott's? Mummy is good but Gringott's is on a level of its own -- my favorite ride in ALL parks, including Disney, so far (I haven't been back yet to ride Hagrids, Guardians, etc).

[@wookieloafproductions1254]

Fun fact, I honestly cant stand the fast and furious film series minus the first couple movies but... I love this ride. The acting is great and it has always been goofy in the best way. The ride staff are always fun to interact with and give my friends and I a ton of laughs whenever were there. I think people just like to hate things. Yeah the ride itself isn't anything insanely special but its still a funny ride movie with Vin hanging from a chopper lmao Lighten up and get a drink before this ride its great

[@monkeyfist5953]

Y’all should do a video letting AI plan your day at Disney/universal. I think it would be fun to do and watch!

[@user-tg9hv2kf2t]

I would rank the shows Bourne Spectacular, Make Up Show and Animal Show. I love them all. Honestly, there is nothing I can say I dislike in the park. People are so critical of everything. BTW, I LOVE the Fast and Furious Ride!

I'm surprised that F&F even got one star... Not reached the end yet but if Green Eggs and Ham aren't the top meal at Universal generally then people are fools!

[@shanaeforee8587]

I unironically love the fast and furious ride.

[@SkiesTurnedGrey]

Paul Walker was one of the most beautiful men to ever grace this Earth. In my humble opinion. One never really expects that kind of news. So tragic, that he lost his life at such a young age. I hate to hear when young people pass. So sad...

[@huntersherwood4845]

The fast and furious ride isn’t just the worst ride i’ve ever ridden at a theme park, it’s one of the worst things i’ve done in my life.

[@InfectiousGroovePodcast]

Our channel doesn't cover anything to do with theme parks and I still think it would be fun to just do a day in the park like this. Just take recommendations from whomever and do what they think is the best. Could be a fun randomizer of sorts.

[@winnie5873]

Fast and Furious is still kind of fun, even if the ride isn’t necessarily the greatest 😅 though I whole heartedly agree, do not wait more than 15 minutes for it, lol. The ride I expected to be the worst was Jimmy Fallon. I have been to Universal many times and still never rode it. My family and I have just never been into Jimmy Fallon.

I'd eat at Richter burger hands down before Louies Pizza 😢

Kang and Kodos are delightful. So are Pat and Jamie. But if I see Pat and Jamie, I then have to go on Fast and Furious Supercharge. Of course, there is nothing good about Jimmy Fallon's attraction.

[@asaballew5805]

Hi Molly! I have really appreciated your focus on inclusivity and kindness as you, Alan and Max have built this channel! I don't know if this has been mentioned before, but J.K. Rowling has dedicated her time and energy to attacking trans women, including by advocating for anti trans legislation. Many have decided to continue to love the Harry Potter stories, finding strength in their message of love and standing up for what is right despite the author's heinous beliefs and actions. It would mean a lot if you could spread the word, say something any time you talk about HP to show support for trans women and let people know not to support Rowling with money if they can help it. Thanks so much for the work you do!

[@KashChaos]

I absolutely agree that the Mammoth channel shows they are all about kindness, respect, and inclusivity, but I don't think it's really required for them to spell it out that they support trans rights, which they most likely do anyways given their content. Harry Potter is a beloved series from over 25 years ago, and Universal has popular lands themed to HP. Personally, I prefer not to focus on She Who Must Not Be Named, and I think MAM does a pretty good job doing the same while also making HP theme park and related content.

[@fantasygeek13]

I FULLY expected you to say jimmy Fallon was rated the best ride lol

Revenge of the Mummy IS the best ride at Universal! Spot on, Internet Strangers!

[@pennywisethedancingclown2702]

Im not surprised the top rated food spots are not the best. Universal is great for many things, but food is not one of them. I’ve gotten food poisoning from Universal.

I’m sorry but you were pronouncing crepe wrong. It’s pronounced with a long A sound. (Krayp) However, I loved the video and now I want a crepe.

[@angelakosar1003]

Fast and Furious is one of my family's favorite rides. There are non-roller coaster riders who love UOR and these rides are fun for them.

[@misssugarcookie5645]

Fast and Furious is in my opinion by far the worst ride at Universal,embarrassingly poor compared to other rides there.I wish Universal would replace it 👎

[@Ner0sys7]

It's the worst theme park ride in the state. The Fun Spot has better rides and it's basically just a parking-lot carnival on steroids.

[@Jim222001]

Yeah Universal is pretty smart with what rides they have. Fast and the Furious though you think instantly would be like Test Track. Maybe even could have had Don’s car next to you. Where you’re supposed to be racing him. A party bus ride though ? Where you just watch them do action hero stuff on a screen. Is pretty lame.

[@cuteutgirl04]

Agreed. I was shocked it got a 1.6. I’m tempted to add my rating to help bring that number down. 😂 Sorry to Molly because I know you love it, but I regret the time I spent walking through the line and riding this.

[@alanarapacz1882]

Universal should put in "A Great Movie Ride" similar to what DHS used to have. Do it like their "Secret Life of Pets" ride in Universal Hollywood. The park needs more real sets and less screen based rides.

[@edvaira6891]

Ohh, no! Yes, Supercharged is not a great ride (it works much better as the conclusion of the Tram tour in Universal Hollywood since it doesn’t require any extra line but is just a part of a larger experience…..but I found the Jimmy Fallon ride EXCRUTIATING!! Stupid, pointless and ugly…very very unpleasant experience

[@thedailytalk7089]

Fast & furious is 100% the worst ride at universal. When it came out it was already dated and now it’s essentially a meme ride. Jimmy fallon isn’t great either but pop a motion sickness pill and it’s better then FF

Jimmy Falon is hands down worst ride in Orlando

[@FantasmicDragon1]

It should be noted that I have not been to Universal Studios Florida. I've only been to Universal Studios California, so I'm only sharing my thoughts as a General Theme Park Enjoyer. Worst Food: Generic burgers verses thematic exiting food? I'll take the latter any day of the week. Also, it sits awkwardly all on it's own. If it tied to Fast and Furious, I think it could be at least more memorable? Best Ride: The Mummy is a cool zippy coaster in California and it looks just as fun in Florida as it is in California. And it's got all of the parts: backwards, fire, sets, fun! Yahoo! Worst Ride: Fast and Furious is part of the Universal Tram Tour so, if I rode this, I would feel cheated because it's just a transfer from Tram Tour. Fast and Furious deserves a fast car coaster a la Test Track or TRON. Fast and Furious can still be silly and be a coaster! It's, all in all, missed potential. Worst Show: Biggest air quotes because of the amount of 'true shows' in the parks. Cute show, making the magic of movies is always fun to see. Good for the littles too, compared to Bourne and The Horror Makeup Show Best Food: In this house we love crepes!!! I don't recall it being in Hollywood Studios but you can never go wrong with crepes. Best Show: Not in California Studios but watching the B-Roll, it does look like an interesting show. I have no interest in it's franchise but, if it has a low wait and Horror Makeup Show is in the middle of it's show when I swing by, it'd probably be something I pop into.

[@Thedreamer2x]

I disagree. Bourne should be longer.

[@EPiche09]

FF rules. Ride could have been better. I wanna try Richter burger. Finnegans is great. Crepes is not a restaurant that's nuts.
