What's New At Universal Orlando - Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios!

[@BoobieIAm]

I wish IOA had a separate island where they put all the old/Original rides & called it RIP Island or something lol

[@Touchofaweepingangel]

Tim, your singing and lyrics are the best part of this video!

[@bigdogthepirate]

+Allie N. AND you need to do an entire vlog where everything said by all people is to the tune of the Jurassic Park Theme

[@EvanLemole]

i hope they use some animatronics in King Kong. It won't feel as real if it's just a bunch of screens showing things.

[@Maks-xw1zh]

Apparently it's a mix of both animatronics and screens

[@EvanLemole]

+Daniel Fretch Cool! I'm so excited to ride it.

[@darkinetix]

+Evan Lemole They do a blend with the Mummy, can't see why they wouldn't for Kong.

[@mw-te2vg]

+Evan Lemole I agree with some animatronics, but Universal is historically bad at them.

[@frankieinnyc657]

1515! (The length of this video) Thanks Tim & Jenn for being a part of one of several recurring numbers I see where ever I go. You Are Both Awesome!

[@suhmeeuh]

I hope King Kong and Hulk are open when I go to Orlando!

[@bobjl527]

Hey Tim! At 14:11 mark, those are old movie trailers (previews) on 35mm film. I used to work with those things everyday when I was a projectionist, a long time ago.

[@vadersmustache5588]

Tim has an eerily similar voice to Kermit the frog. It's practically therapeutic AND entertaining!

[@dkoch2]

With Kong opening this Spring/Summer, it seems like they are behind...that also goes for Hulk lol

[@JeffFrmJoisey]

3:46 You’ve done Popeye proud!!! Awesome imitation 👍👍👍😃😃

[@MrDisneyfanman]

Twister looked like a Twister hit it!

[@dillon3044]

Lol

[@MsWDWFAN1]

Thanks for braving the cold for an update of Universal Orlando. I haven't been in a long time so I'd like to wait until most of the attractions are finished then go. Hulk is going to be exciting! Also Kong. Stay warm you two!

[@tombami4276]

4:19 funniest moment ever

[@jasonbachman4939]

My wife and i spent our anniversary weekend at Cabana Bay and did blue man group and ate at emerils. We used alot of the tips and tricks you guys have put in your videos. Alot of the updates you saw in this video were done between the time we were there (jan 8th-10th) and when this video was done cuz when we were there the christmas tree was still up and the sign on the twister building and there wasnt all that new track on the hulk. We love watching your videos and hope to some day run into you guys at the parks. We are hooked on your channel now. Thanks for all the fun.

[@RavenLiquid]

I'll run around outside in a T-shirt a 19-20C (about 66F). I'll run around in just a sweater at 15-16C (about 60F). Currently it's actually freezing (-7C/19F), so anything around those temps feels nice.

[@EvilPortalGunLPS]

Like 120% sure this is my new favorite channel.

[@dooflachie]

Tim you have a most lovely singing voice...you should sing "Jurassic Park" and make theme music at every place you go!!!!

[@Galistia]

I agree that just to ride a rollercoaster, it's a bit of a pain, and it takes away from the experience a little bit... I also don't understand why the coasters on dragon challenge can't duel anymore having those metal detectors.

[@ericgregorious7047]

loved the Toon Lagoon..I stayed at the double trees when I was there. should have stayed in Disney hotel if visiting Disney..

[@matthewburczyk4155]

It says Green Band under Argo so I'm thinking that it must be the theatrical trailer for Argo.

[@scottjackson1332]

You were cracking me up about the Jurassic music. It gets me all the time. I'll whistle it for days after going there.

[@princessjulia6020]

I want to buy ALL the Twister props!!

[@closedchannel7889]

I think the King Kong: Skull Island will be an experience like Jaws but obviously with updated technology! So excited to ride it! Wish I could live in Orlando so I could get an annual pass, the UK is so boring! Where are you all from? :)

[@kitsunemetal]

hahaha that singing was awesome Tim im not sure about king my friend and im glad you and Jen had fun and i agree about the metal detectors they are annoying.

[@chevelle99xify]

Awesome video of the progress ! Yeah I do agree I hate all the metal detector rules and crap, I had so much fun riding the coasters with my I-pod, Made it so much more fun !

[@goalie2998]

I like watching your video updates. its nice seeing warm weather and fun rides. as we are getting snow and cold in the boston area.

[@orlandorenteria4216]

It's nice having the name Orlando because I get to hear lot's of people say my name.it's awesome

[@blackjet777]

The graffiti wall says " are we talking or are we racing". Big fast and furious fan here lol

[@DisneyMarkUK]

Can't wait for new Hulk & go course Kong!! Bring it on in 103 days :)) Cheers for sharing the video chaps

[@DocBelle2]

I hate being an adult. I'll be staying at the Portofino for a medical conference in 2 weeks and of course we're not going to universal. It's like a tease. Ugh adult.

[@Erick-uj6yw]

you guys are almost at 100k subscribers omg congrats🙊🙊🙊🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎆🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈

[@brittneywilliford]

Last time I was at Universal I skipped rides I would have ridden otherwise because the lockers are so much trouble...and that was before they added metal detectors! Really hope Disney doesn't follow suit.

[@curtisfluke8993]

So it looks like this is the time to go. We went in early October last year and the heat killed us. We had to take a day off of vacation to vacation from vacation.

[@ScarecrowWizardofOzFan]

I can't wait for new king Kong ride

[@jenw7011]

Love seeing the updates at Universal! Thanks for sharing!

[@HorrorGuru407]

OMG I got that same exact Orlando shirt I bought it when I first moved there I still wear it to this day lmao.

[@goalie2998]

Tim, my daughter and i were watching, jealous of the sun and warmth. it is very cold up in boston like 5 degrees yesterday! ouch. i would be in shorts and a t shirt lol . we miss florida love catching up with your vids . keep them coming thanks patrick

[@anthonybarnhillhair]

we'll be staying at royal pacific just because we are out of towers and we neeeeeed that fast pass for our regular day trips to the park. Hope to run into you two!!

[@Leslygx3]

when are all the updates finished in both parks??? I'd like to go when they're finished but then again more people will go because of the new stuff

[@tedioustotoro4885]

I forgot about you and your fabulous moustache

[@richardballent9870]

Love all your videos! I used to live in Orlando and I worked in IOA. loved visiting all the parks, never got tired of them. I'm trying hard to get back to Fl. hopefully soon. keep up the great work!

[@janetovens756]

On website Universal calls it a "preferred" hotel, but unlike the others it does not have the free express pass perks, unless they have recently changed it.

[@dozer762]

we rode the log ride at the end of last feb. it was in the high 60's. but i'm from illinois it was -10 here lol we got real wet

[@roywalley4734]

All the film reels were the movie trailers.

[@nsf_fee359]

@TheTimTracker - Interestingly enough the Argo reel you were looking at was classified as Green Band which leads me to believe it is simply a trailer for the movie. Green Band = All Audiences. Red Band = Ding Dang. Long time fan - keep it up!

[@wyomom7260]

heading there in a few weeks! yay. Hope it warms up some... well, if it's over 20 degrees and not snowing, we will be happy! ;-D

[@ryanreeves4568]

I'm staying there during my birthday on September 19 for HHN and I stayed at cabana on Friday and stayed till today! I saw you guys but I couldn't say Hello because we were going back to the hotel!

[@thedude2897]

I can't wait for the Jimmy Fallon ride. It's going to be the best ride they've ever had.......... Said no one ever. LOL

[@gabrieltorres698]

Great video, King Kong will be great, I still remember the old one

[@mayalarson264]

Yay I missed the universal vlogs!!! Also are you guys planning on going to Harry Potter weekends? If so I hope to see you there:)

[@BenRowley]

I am sure those people walking around in tee shirt and shorts probably are visiting from Canada so it is warm to them 😀🇨🇦

[@paulchris1113]

I live in CT. Sometimes it's 100, sometimes it's below zero. But I still wear shorts until it's below 40.

[@barbarapariso9586]

Great video!!! Tim, don't give up your day job!!!! I love you but a voice for singing you don't have!!!! Lol

[@derekandersen3093]

I am interested to see how they handle HHN this year. Without Twister queue (to walk through) or Disaster queue for a house, what are they going to do? Is the bathroom by Twister also blocked off? What about the gate that is used as a main entrance/exit for a lot of the houses that dumped you near the Twister bathrooms, is it blocked off as well? They also lost the HHN store they did last year which is disappointing since I really liked that idea. It seems like they keep losing important HHN space which makes me feel like we might be seeing a return of IoA this year. I always liked the concept of keeping both parks open and have them both connected with a long backstage scarezone. With J. K. now allowing Harry Potter to be open during HHN, it helps free up congestion that would have been caused on that small bridge plus they can keep the train going all night long without needing to scan tickets because both parks would be considered one during the event. Seems like a lot of plus to not only increase event capacity but also change up house locations and allow them to make even more houses and scarezones! Going to be hard to top last year!

[@theanimeguy13ify]

I went to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure on Saturday.

[@cessnaguy172]

Awesome vid guys I was just there on Thursday for the first time universal was amazing and Disney was cool too lol makes me miss Florida it was sad returning to Canada on Sunday lol

[@Geeky_guy]

We were at Universal three weeks ago, we were hoping to see you guys.

[@michellelesener5636]

I love the updates. I am going towards the end of next month or beginning of March and I cant wait.

[@jaredkleinman3893]

I BELIVE that King Kong will be kind of like spiderman, and what jaws was like. I feel like there will be screens and the cart will shake but some real stuff happening. And it may be like jaws because there might be a driver there.

[@sabrinasantiago4796]

i feel like kong is gonna be more of an interactive kind of thing, but then again i could be wrong. i've heard that it was gonna be but i'm not sure.

[@marzkell]

going to the parks tomorrow! maybe I'll run into yall. so excited to be back at universal :D

[@alexsmith373]

the we talking or are we racing is a reference for fast 6 between dom and letty

[@aynmispro]

twister was the first ride i went on back in 2007 when i first went. it's kinda sad to see it torn up now, but im still excited for jimmy fallon

[@juliadesocio1024]

hey Tim and Jenn! great vlog! I'm going to universal in 3 weeks and I'm really hoping I get to see you guys there because that would be AWESOME

[@jessikajan8367]

we were just there, and it was super warm (Thursday)

[@StevenMarjerison]

Much thanks for the video. I'm planning on going out there in July. I'm very excited! I really with they'd update Jurassic Park and make it into a Jurassic World with movie themed rides.

[@LS2veable]

HI Tim and Jenn Ive been planning our family vacation to orlando to go to universal this summer as well as visit some family. I would love to move out there! Thanks for the awesome videos!

[@victoriagjones5333]

Staying at Sapphire Falls in September appreciate the updates on the property excited to visit ..definitely doing Halloween horror nights this year 😊

[@Respman]

The best sunsets!!!

[@meesporschen8085]

I really like how a buisy day there is a impossible day to go to a theme park in The Netherlands.

[@TheNeidSide]

My thought on King Kong is gonna be like Spider-man

[@Meghanm33]

watching this get me so excited!! since it's officially unnaficial...haha that my friends and I are planning a trip to universal and Disney. but it's not going to be till 2017 :(. Only because our friend is unable to take leave since she's in the military. but either way. We're budgeting and planning everything!!! your videos have most definitely helped!! although the pressure is on me since I'm the only one watching them. hahah keep up the good work guys!!

[@zachhebebrand8247]

Love the Video I'm an AP Pass holder in Ohio so I love all the seasonal updates on the Park. Keep it up!

[@thegirlbehindthelense21]

I AM CRYING OMGG THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO IT TOTALLY MADE MY NIGHT! FAST N THE FURIOUS OMGGGGGG THANK YOUUUU

[@janetovens756]

Jimmy Fallon's head couldn't get any bigger now he has a ride being built.

[@BoobieIAm]

Even though Twister was a little lame..I'm sad that it closed. I remember being scared of it as a child when I first rode it. Luckily I rode it again in Sept 15' but Had I known it was closing..I would have took pics and rode it twice 😔 #RipTwister

[@Brookiee-lq2cs]

I think King Kong will be like the safaris at animal kingdom!!!

[@dankstank2314]

Y'all should get the universal app because it shows you ride times for all rides and the map/directions

[@1ballinboyz]

I'm going to Florida in July! Would be awesome to see you there!

[@juliancarlos8549]

so happy you guys are back at universal !

[@MrsDasheroo]

Gosh I know it is the off season, but so many things have closed - Disaster, Beetlejuice, Twister, Hulk, Bilge Rat Barges, etc. How many of these all scheduled to remain closed for 2016? Seems like this may not be the year to visit - record crowds plus less attractions equal longer wait times. Not a good combination :(

[@airheadjojo859]

Do you guys know when hulk is going to be done? Jenn, i love your shirt and sunglasses! I can't wait for King Kong.

[@jordansweet1075]

14:46 that sign has been there for years

[@AshleynVacation]

We usually stay at Royal pacific for hhn but this year we going to try the hard rock

[@RJGilmore]

We will be staying for HHN this year. I have been to Universal Studios once, back in 2013 at the end of September and they started HHN that last weekend but we didn't get to attend. This year however will be our year! We are going to stay at the Portofino Bay and are really excited. It will be my first time staying on Resort. We will also be visiting Miami that week as well as going to Tampa to ride some rides at Busch Gardens. I cannot wait until the first week of October! It's going to be fun. :) Love your uploads and I subscribed. Ya'll

[@Workinggirlhomestead]

I know when we went to dualing dragons last month it was nuts with all of that wanding and such the security guy said people were throwing stuff at one another because at one time we would go towards each other so people were throwing stuff at the other people in the other coaster and actually hurt someone. So now they do not sync them together and now we have to go through all of that crap to get on the ride it is a mess. Even if you have something tied on to you it has to go in a locker. We got the locker but my nephew had keys on a ring attached to his belt and still had to go put it in his locker. It is a mess.

[@janeshkabizaldi8442]

I love the sun set

[@haydencruz7350]

When I was at universal I got to go in an hour early because I stayed at cabana bay and we went into the park staring to head back to diagon alley and we got on minions right as we walked in the wait was not even 5 min.

[@georgia-mn7hl]

I feel like King Kong is going to be similar to Gringotts

[@A_T-]

I'm staying in June/July at the lowes royal Pacific hotel

[@that_bald_bloke]

What's with the metal detectors? Coming over to stay at Cabana bay in March, feel like universal is only going to be half a park with all the construction work going on😕

[@CasinoJack]

luv theme park vlogs. need to see more hulk track. so it will be a different tracak layout? im confused.

[@DRRUDII]

wow i was there last time 2013 S eptember and so much has changed wow

[@jeebs621]

IOA is probably so much quieter without hulk 😂😂😂

[@mushieslushie]

I'm kinda disappointed that Kong seems to be the same ride. I'm sure they will add some new effects or some new LED TVs in the queue but after first finding out they were taking it down, and getting over that I'm now underwhelmed that is going to be the same exact ride.

[@jillianlafollette8605]

How come the. Beetle. Juice. Show is shut down. 😥 I loved to watch it on KZbin and it was my dream to go see it live.

[@RubySongbird]

Where is the store at where you were looking at old props? I don't believe I've ever seen that!

[@abrian8282]

It's new so not a lot of people know about it.

[@RubySongbird]

+Abrian That makes sense then! Thanks for the info :)

[@abrian8282]

+Ruby Songbird yeah but things there are so expensive!

[@RubySongbird]

+Abrian Yes it seems that way. :/ Yikes! But - cool to see!!

[@jono3872]

Feel like end of 2016 beginning of 2017 is gonna be an amazing year for Florida parks and especially universal

[@TheBullockFamily]

Awesome so glad you made it back to Universal :-)

[@Nicole-by3ng]

Based on what the website says about the new King Kong ride, it looks like it will be very similar to the new Kong addition to the Studio Tour in Hollywood. Only differences is the vehicles and probably more film of Kong and the other monsters. Overall its the same idea and concept as in Hollywood but on a larger scale.

[@unccrazygirl3]

When are The Hulk and King Kong scheduled to be completed this summer?

[@joannelama8775]

-2 today with the windchill in upstate NY 😨
