Universal Orlando 2025! FIRST Mardi Gras Food Booths, Rip Ride Rockit Closing, Epic Universe & MORE

[@thomashines100]

Something I really appreciate about your videos is that you speak to your audience like they are a close friend. When I met you in the parks during HHN, it was the exact same vibe. Appreciate the positivity and kindness :)

[@SuperEnthused]

that is so kind of you!!

[@katies3436]

Your interactions with Beetlejuice are always so amazing!

[@SuperEnthused]

He's such a treasure, I think if he existed at any other park, people would be lined up for hours to meet him!!

[@Billyvan21]

I hope Universal turns Rip Ride Rockit back into a Ghostbusters attraction. I'd be down for an Ecto-1 style coaster or anything! I'm really looking forward to Epic Universe! It's crazy to think that it's opening in about 4 months! I can't wait to see your coverage from there!

[@artistmusttravel]

Aw man! My family and I were at Universal Studios the exact same time you were there. I just barely missed you! It was a beautiful but very chilly day!

[@MollyFitzBrown]

I didn't know about the Passholder lanyard, thanks for the info! I hope they still have some left this weekend! I will be riding on a float on Feb 4th!! Woohoo!

[@SuperEnthused]

Yaaaay u got a float spot!! We did too, so excited.

[@SuperEnthused]

Check out our recent stay at Universal’s Hard Rock Hotel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWKmpZ9ubZKIaNU And you can find lots of other Universal vids on my channel! 💙💙💙

[@caseyhufft6879]

Can't wait for the Mardi Gras vlogs!! Always so much fun! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@claireayre490]

You are so personable and carry your vlogs out with a fun but intimate and informative zest. Its infectious and genius. Your vlogs NEVER feel like work, they flow perfectly and all thats a credit to you Jackie! Another awesome vlog with a vibe you give out thru the screen of warm welcoming. Oh n i giggled and laughed with you at Beetlejuice and Scooby team, such gd interactions. Youre THE best Jackie, never change, keep being you lovely lady and of course "keep 'er lit!" 😂l😂😂 luv n hugs from N.I. 💚💚💚

[@SuperEnthused]

So kind of you, Claire!!!! Thank you for being so awesome, and for laughing with me!!

[@claireayre490]

@@SuperEnthused youre so welcome! I believe in praise where its earned and you totally earn every word. Also, im not really a "leave a comment" person, but i just feel so much from you and your work that i just literally HAVE to let you know and thank you. Also, women building other women up! If its seen in an older lady like me, then maybe we can rub off on younger females too. See? Your vlogs are doing waaaaay more than just informing about parks and holidays etc. Youre a genuine person who deserves all the great things you have coming to you. "More power to you Jackie!" Another wee N. I. phrase, ask Sam he ll get it hahaha. Luv n hugs, so glad i found your vlogs years ago. 😘💚😘

[@NKsEntertainment]

Awesome 👍

[@colinholder5438]

9:56 I’m pretty sure Pearl & Earl are supposed to be siblings. Thanks for the updates, Jackie👍🏼

[@tomklock568]

Wow, that's one of the things I love about your channel Jackie is the cultural experiences we don't really have here, or should I say do here, like Mardi Gras. I'm sure there are some around that celebrate it but always interesting to see things that aren't on my radar so to speak! Of course I'm down for the food ha ha! I hope you survive your rare cold snap, sis! 🥶

[@bob4364]

Hey Jackie, great video, updates, previews, Beetlejuice and more from Universal-FL..

[@davidlavallee1547]

Looking forward to your Epic Universe videos when it opens. Wife and I will be going hopefully end of 2025! Keep up the great work your enthusiasm is contagious!!

[@SuperEnthused]

I'll try my best to share all the helpful info, and add my own special touches!! Thank you so much, David!!

[@jackiemoore4047]

Legend is one of my favorite movies too and one of the best things Tom Cruise ever did… And Tim Curry of course, and Mia Sara,…AH, love it!

[@SuperEnthused]

agreeee!!! it's still so magical! I put it on and instantly get the coziest vibes!

[@j.covington547]

I always enjoy your videos! Thank you for the content and Happy New Year!!

[@alexisbk9576]

Honestly since they got rid of the majority of Rip Ride Rocket’s music collection, I thought it was going to close soon. Personally, I love the idea you had of a Twister coaster! 🌪️ As long as it is a coaster, I’m good lol. Love how the track weaves through NY. So looking forward to Mardi Gras’ 30th anniversary! It’s going to be amazing! 🎉

[@SuperEnthused]

yea as the song choices dwindled, we know RRR's days were numbered! And agree, as long as it's a coaster, hopefully it will still look really cool too!

[@MoviemaniaNick]

Thank you for another amazing vlog Jackie! I'm really looking forward to Epic Universe! Cannot wait to watch your vlogs on it. Talking about HHN already in January?! Whoa! At least wait until mid summer. lol jk

[@Solarized334]

Jackie you absolutely killed this update!!!! I have been laughing and smiling the whole time😁 Thank you and stay classy😎

[@angelaterranova1577]

Please another coaster! We just spent a week with extended family at Universal and all loved Rip Rocket! Had no idea it was going to close! So glad all rode but definitely want another coaster not another 3-D ride!!!

[@hannaholson4999]

I would LOVE a Ghostbusters coaster.❤❤❤❤

[@rrivillox]

Rip Ride would be refurbish with Ghostbusters theme. That's the only way 😉. Thanks for all Miss Jackie. You're the best. Greetings and I hope that Sam and you will to come to Efteling Park someday. :8)

[@realpinoy1]

Wife and I will be there in August staying at Helios. Super excited can’t wait to see how fun Epic Universe will be. Sad to see rip ride rocket go. Thanks for all your vids!

[@marielayfield2987]

Wish I could be there for the sale. I just know you will get an invite to see the Epic park Preview and cannot wait!!

[@SuperEnthused]

I hope so, will be praying and grateful if so!!

[@karppadiem7014]

Yay! Have been waiting for some EPIC Universe chat. Thanks for sharing all of the things. ❤🎉 - western NY Aimee And it was 4 degrees with the wind chill this morning so I don't feel too bad for you. 😂

[@SuperEnthused]

Ahhh yes I’ll take 45 over 4! Hope you’re staying warm and cozy.

[@ZzimmyZee]

Brrrr stay warm 🥶 Thank you for your great content! 💕🙌

[@SuzanneA618]

Thanks for providing these reminders of all the important things that are happening this year in 2025 at all the parks❤🎉 So much going on!

[@OneEpicFamily]

Love the update. Pearl is Earl's lil sister. He told us when we met him and asked about her. He told us using our kids as examples

[@SuperEnthused]

ah that's so cute!!

[@OneEpicFamily]

​@SuperEnthused yep it was wonderful to get it directly from the source. Great video as always. Look forwarding to seeing more of you and Sam's travels and maybe bump again to you both at Universal.

[@SuperEnthused]

@@OneEpicFamily Yea, they haven't come out and posted anywhere or said her relation to Earl, but if he said it, then it's canon!!! And I hope so too!!!

Yay, best end to my work day, a new drop from you!

[@SuperEnthused]

Yaaay!! Enjoy 💕💕💕

[@IzzyTheEditor]

It is NEVER too early to talk HHN :) In fact I cannot WAIT for DARK Universe!! That's like HHN all year round!! :)

[@jenniferjohnston8890]

Going for my first Universal visit at end of Jan and will experience Mardi Gras on Feb .1. I feel prepared and excited for my trip thanks to your excellent videos!

[@SuperEnthused]

awesome time for a first visit! You'll get a bit of the "normal" park with movie music, then it switches to Mardi Gras music and atmosphere on the 1st!

[@JustOutnAbout]

Ready for MG! Hope to see y'all there!! And, of course can't wait for EPIC!! We won't be there opening but will be first weekend in June. Decided to spend Tyler's birthday at Epic!

[@SuperEnthused]

best birthday everrrrrr!!!! See u guys at MG!!

[@Rammstein66-u9v]

Just be happy its not snowing :) Greetings from Oslo, Norway

[@SuperEnthused]

oh I am! Even though snow can be beautiful when it's falling! Especially at first.

[@Rammstein66-u9v]

@@SuperEnthused Where i live we get snow from November until March... I dont like winter :) So how about we do a switch, hehe

[@OmegaBahn]

I'm ready for Mardi Gras, already have tickets for Epic and a great new year overall.

[@knc_13]

I’m really hoping for a terrifier house this year! It’s never too early 🎃

[@kimgrod]

Just realized we were both in the parks yesterday. Look forward to meeting you someday.

[@user-he1pp9gh1l]

Thank you for your wonderful vlogs!!! I wish I could get Harry Plates!!

[@chantellecampanini6411]

I’m sooo excited for next month!! My family and I will be going to Universal for Mardi Gras anddddd we are staying at Stella Nova!!!!! Soooooo excited!!! Cherry on top, it will be my sons first trip to Universal and my daughters second!

I'm going in three weeks from tomorrow and I cannot wait to ride VelociCoaster for the first time!!!

[@WiseYoungBabyGrogu]

Thanks as always for a great vlog.

[@Joy-sq1io]

Great blog as always. I have to know the background of the “shiz” hat. Where can I buy one?😊 btw Beetlegeuse is so funny. He had me rolling when you asked if was going to see Nosferatu and his reply “ nah it’s too scary”

[@SuperEnthused]

that made me laugh so much, it's his delivery!! Shiz iz the name of the school in Wicked that Glinda and Elphaba go to. They sell this hat in the Wicked store in the park! I know it's so weird for people who don't know where it's from to see that weird word lol!!

[@jdog2345]

We are looking forward to be staying at Portifino the beginning of February. Thanks for the update on Mardi Gras, the food looks great as well as the concert series. We are hoping for warmer weather by then…it’s -23 here right now 🇨🇦🥶

[@SuperEnthused]

ohhhhhh boy! yea I'm hoping it gets warmed into Feb!

[@ladyjane8855]

I ❤ the Portofino! Have fun

[@curtissimpkins]

Another great video my friend...

[@BakunaMatada]

Great video Jackie - you are just so adorable and I love your enthusiasm - see what I did there? 😂 💕

[@joco0592]

It's never too early for HHN!! 🧡🖤

[@godisxwomxn]

“Is it too early to start talking about HHN?” 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥

[@808ate]

Hey Jackie, great Mardi gras overview and amazing deals at the Brown Derby store! Any idea how long these sales run until? We'll be there mid February!

[@timandkt]

Seems like just about everywhere is getting hit by that same cold front! We’re at 25° here in Baltimore. 🥶 Hopefully Mardi Gras brings about some warmer temps! I think we are in the minority on this, but we will *_not_* miss Rip Ride Rockit. After our last ride in 2021, we were so banged up that we vowed never to board again until or unless the attraction was retracked. I do appreciate and will miss the kinetic energy that it adds to the sightlines, but hopefully its replacement checks that box…Universal Creative has been pretty on point lately, so I’m sure it’s something they’ve considered! 😉 Omg we *_LOVED_* Abigail! Absolutely agree that it would be an amazing house, if executed properly - the sunroom alone would be so cool to walk through. And no, it’s not too early to start talking about HHN…some of us like to celebrate Halloween 365 days out of the year haha great video, Jackie! ✨

[@SuperEnthused]

That’s the thing, I LOOOOVE the way it looks, and seeing it flying by day or night. But I rarely ride it bc it just does me in!! It doesn’t bother Sam for some reason, but for me, it leaves me in a heap 😂😂😂

[@timandkt]

@@SuperEnthused It's a similar thing for Popeye and Ripsaw Falls on our end, we love to look at them but would hate to ride. 😂

[@attractionshubno1]

Great video as always Jackie

[@ChinaDollTravels]

I’m excited for the concerts for Mardi Gras coming up

[@SuzanneA618]

My heart hopes for a Ghostbusters ride, but my head says that this is for Fast and Furious ❤

[@crazyfamilyfun1]

I would like see that store 😊~Haley ❤

[@kimgrod]

Jackie, are you Super Enthused about EPIC, teehee

[@MichaelWarbux]

I want a SCREAM House. I've started to see the rumors for HHN and the Mardi Gras scene from Slaughter Sinema 2 could be a full house this year.

[@lauraw2074]

I hope they replace Rip Ride with a brand new rollercoaster , no more screen rides.

[@SuperEnthused]

🙌🏼

[@ashleyjenkins5194]

❤❤❤. Please new roller coaster 🎢

[@tomm2213]

Yes a thrill coaster!

[@jimfox3867]

Of course! We’re eight days into the new year and you’re wondering if it’s too early for Hollywood Horror Nights. Next, you’ll be asking if you should put up a Halloween tree. Or if it’s too early.That Universal monster exhibit was cool. Jackie, you could definitely be one of the characters in the park. Especially during Halloween!

[@crystalillar6363]

I already know what it’s gonna be. They’re changing it to back to the future ride.❤❤🎉

[@freder671]

Great video ❤

[@Yeetdominick23]

What days did you go ? I was there for my winter break

[@SuperEnthused]

this was filmed on Jan 6 :) Hope u had a great time!

[@Valerie71386]

Love the video when does epic universe open

[@JustAlanDoingAlanThings]

45 degrees is nothing, it's -2 in Hartlepool UK🥶 I'm really excited for Dark Universe too. Beetljuice is definitely a fan trying to act cool😂 The zoinks effect made me snort my drink, brilliant, but where was Norville? Have you ever noticed how much the original Phantoms mask looks like Steve Martin? Can't just be me surely. How did you leave Brown Derby empty handed?😮

[@ladyjane8855]

45f is 7c but we went down to 3c this morning. No snow yet but we're catching up!

[@melissamowery6309]

I would love to see queen of the damned house I absolutely love that movie when I was a kid it would be so cool to see

[@SuperEnthused]

I would LOOOOVE to see that, or any Anne Rice based house!!!!

[@melissamowery6309]

Same here I hope your enjoying 2025 so far I can’t wait to see what epic universe is going to look like

[@crazyfamilyfun1]

The simpsons 😮 awesome 👌~Haley

[@alexandramacias6385]

The Shiz cap! 😍

[@SuperEnthused]

Oh it’s so funny, some people don’t realize it’s from wicked and think it’s means something else! I might have to stop wearing it, but it’s one of my favorite (and most comfortable) new hats! 😅

[@alexandramacias6385]

@SuperEnthused ​@SuperEnthused noooo! Don't stop wearing it! Everyone else just needs to learn about Dear Old Shiz 😂 (Wicked may or may not be my entire personality right now)

[@erinburns5385]

I’ve seen Abigail. I think it was really good.

[@crazyfamilyfun1]

Hi scoopy 😊❤ ~Haley

[@charitysmidutz498]

I think the two HHN merch items you showed from the UOAP discount store were NOT at HHN this year. Cause if that lil boo cup would've been shown anywhere.... I would've bought it. Now I'm sad cause I want it.... But live in Ohio

[@shane5110]

Was it a year ago they announced Epic Universe? Things moving fast.

[@laurenjohnson9928]

I would like to see an actual Fast and Furious coaster!!❤

[@universalorlandochica]

Definitely a Ghostbusters themed coaster

[@johnshepard6682]

Gonna miss the iconic RIP RIDE ROCKET hopefully they will build a minion coaster like the incredy coaster at California adventure. Is the Blue man group building empty ? Wonder if they may move the stage to say Central Park 🤔

[@jillapril]

personal question lol how do you store your baseball caps? you have more great hats than anyone i know. i have a bunch too so please tell me lol

[@SuperEnthused]

Ok so this is actually an ongoing thing for me 😂 I used to have a thing that hangs in ur closet that stores hats and accessories. But it took up too much space. So I got some small drawers now and 3 drawers are dedicated to hats 😂 but that also includes like big sun hats for cruises and beach days, and beanies and cold weather hats. I also got rid of a bunch last year but still have a lot!

[@SuperEnthused]

This was the thing I originally had that took up too much space, but it worked for me for a long time and it might work for someone else: amzn.to/3BMUqx6

[@jillapril]

@@SuperEnthused very helpful thank you! you have a hat problem, i have a sweatshirt problem lol but the hats take up less space so that’s a plus! appreciate you responding!

[@jillapril]

@@SuperEnthused one more thing, I would say every three videos that I watch of you, I go looking online for the T-shirt or hat that you are wearing. I literally ran over to grand Floridian to get that green gingerbread T-shirt when I saw you wearing it! I also bought the Mr. toad hat that you have!

[@robertknapp6437]

Hi Jackie when we were up there they said that Pearl was Earl's sister

[@BenHeywoodElectronicMusic]

It will be cool if Count Orlok was walking around universal from Nosferatu. Have you seen him there?

[@erinburns5385]

Did you book for a hotel stay? We have decided to book to stay at Margarittaville hotel in the end of April in Pigeon Forge. And visit Dollywood the second time. Been a longtime since we were down there. Five hour drive.

[@TN..ThemePARKMom]

Never to early for hhn

[@monicahaller3330]

Jackie, Jackie Jackie it is way too early for HHN. You gotta get through Mardi Gras first. I think I’d rather go to Mardi Gras at Universal than actual Mardi Gras in New Orleans. I really like the universal offers their passholder so many perks. That sale is crazy, those prices were awesome. One of these days I’m gonna make it to Universal.

[@SlytherinReviews]

I know Wolfman House is meant to be this year, you all didn't hear that from me

[@metallicnole4514]

They should replace rockit, but I wonder if they should wait until after HHN

[@SuperEnthused]

They said September so it may be at least part of HHN! Just don’t know when in September.

[@thedadalorian6048]

I think they should have a secret life of pets ride

I thought Pearl was Earl’s sister

[@SuperEnthused]

OH!! Is she? I don’t know! Have we gotten any official word? 😂 sister makes sense, but I don’t think Universal has said this?

[@thomasmartin80]

This sent me down a rabbit hole or squirrel nest on the Google machine and a KZbin channel deemed her the sister. I didn’t see anything from universal. She is obviously very special to Earl whether family or friend ❤
