F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S!!!!!!!!!!! Love the place, can’t wait to get back, quality vlog mate 🙌🙌🙌

[@yourexperienceguide]

It’d be great to spend some days there with you mate

Been loving the Orlando videos! Cannot believe you hadn't done Forbidden Journey until this trip😮

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thanks Kieran, poor form from me not doing it on three previous trips really 😬 - Scott

[@DansOutandAbout]

Ive only just started watching and the look on your faces are like you know when kids are so excited they seem to vibrate? Exactly that! 😂 love it!

[@yourexperienceguide]

Haha yeah seen my 6 year old lad have those excitement levels 😂 - Scott

[@manchester1972]

Great vlog.. Stephen is ace.. Very well spoken.. I love universal but I miss Jaws.. Lol... What a great ride that was.. 😊😊😊

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you, absolutely gutted not to have done Jaws

[@LiftHillsandThrills]

A lovely and quiet day!

[@yourexperienceguide]

Absolutely

[@Fanriffic2020]

Watching this vlog you can clearly see how happy and excited you both were enjoying yourselves. Even though you've both visited this park many times before, your enthusiasm was like first time visitors, that's the hallmarks of a really good theme park. VelociCoaster must be a top 5 coaster in the world on anyones list. Looks awesome.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Honestly it was a huge rush of excitement and adrenaline walking through the entrance. We’ve been to many parks but very few get the excitement levels going through the roof like IOA does.

[@prestonmelton4157]

Great video, Scott! You are in one of my all-time favorite parks. I especially love that shot around 3:36 seconds with the Harry Potter area in the background behind VelociCoaster. Great job!

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you 😎

[@bunkerboy02]

I’m so jealous. A fantastic park and it really came through what a great time you are having.

[@chris-pike]

Good to see you & Stephen at Islands of Adventure there's certainly some great coasters there like Veloci Coaster and it looks an amazing park too , great review as always Scott 👍

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thanks Chris, it’s an elite theme park that’s for sure

[@PatrickRyan150]

Excellent day! I love Velocicoaster. I'm fair skinned, went in March years ago. It was 50 something degrees, cloudy & rainy, got sunburned, had blisters & learned my lesson!

[@yourexperienceguide]

It’s such an incredible coaster 😎 I ended up with a sore blister because of the water rides 😩

[@Rachiec2009]

Maybe go in cooler times eg November to January?

[@PatrickRyan150]

@Rachiec2009 Definitely, learned my lesson to use sun block even when cooler and cloudy when there.

[@SailingFirstAway]

Great video lads. Have been watching your content for a while and when you two are having a blast it’s a pleasure to watch. Cheers. (From Blackpool)

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you 😎

[@keiranhyre750]

Brilliant vlog

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you 😊 More to come from Orlando later in the year too

[@eventpromotionservices4109]

What a wonderful VLOG your enthusiasm from lapping Velocicoaster is infectious and made my morning. I just feel like booking a trip now. What does stand out though is the wonderful music score and transition between the lands and it’s coming through during your video. Just an amazing atmospheric theme park.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you, appreciate the feedback 😎 I was concerned about a copyright claim with all the themed music in the background 😂

[@danielward4868]

This is my favourite theme park, and the Hulk is one of my favourite coasters. Forbidden Journey is my favourite dark ride

[@yourexperienceguide]

Can see why it’s your favourite, it’s incredible 🙂

[@FaceRippedOff]

I’m going in Oct and I absolutely cannot wait!! Love how happy you guys are in this one. Cheers from LA!

[@yourexperienceguide]

Have the best time 😎

[@Ainsworth_Antics]

Stephens t-shirt is brilliant. Excellent vlog and a few great tips for when we finally get here next year.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you! Hope you have an excellent time when you go 😎

[@philip2776]

My son and I had the best time here this summer, so good.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Which ride was your favourite?

[@philip2776]

Both our favourite rides were velocicoaster, hagrids & hulk, in that order. Really enjoy your videos, we hit Hyperia yesterday, very very good as well.

[@Attractions_Family]

Great vlog, getting so hype for next May for our 1st visit

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you and have a great time 😎

[@Jersey_Airtime]

Theme parks are my favorite during the week. No lines, chill vibes..I almost don’t wanna go on weekends anymore or holidays

[@yourexperienceguide]

It was great to see it so quiet

[@TheNextOuting]

Quality low queue day... very jealous haha...

[@yourexperienceguide]

It was a huge but pleasant surprise 😎

[@kevinhashimoto8367]

Looks like you both had an awesome day!

[@yourexperienceguide]

It was brilliant mate

[@firewoodblake1243]

With school just starting, early-mid September is good for crowds at universal but the weather can be brutal. Between the heat, rain, constant sunscreen application and worst of all the humidity…it’s like the Amazon jungle. It sucks the energy right out of you. On top of that, it’s the peak of hurricane season. That being said, I would rather deal with the heat than long wait times for rides.

[@yourexperienceguide]

It was an energy sapper but going for the early part of HHN was great

[@GurraH933]

I love this video

[@yourexperienceguide]

Same to be honest

[@TycoonTerminal]

What a day!

[@yourexperienceguide]

One of the best

[@thesaint5619]

Dueling dragons was brilliant

[@yourexperienceguide]

Only did it as Dragon Challenge unfortunately

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

The holy grail … a quiet day at IOA 😍😍. We almost missed forbidden journey back in 2010. Alex said I think there is a ride in Hogwarts and our reaction was the same as yours Scott. When we were there in 2022 I think we landed the day you left, we had a hurricane ( our 3rd over there ) and part of the Jurassic park river adventure show building was blown off half way up the lift hill and the Hulk was under water 💦 😢. It’s such an amazing park , a bit like Thorne park where there is a lot packed into a nice manageable space . Desperate to get back . Chris and I were off to HHN 5 years ago today 🥰🥰🥺🥺🎃🎃

[@yourexperienceguide]

An unbelievable experience, hope it’s the same next time 😂 2 years ago we were at Busch Gardens Howl-O-Scream on this particular date 🎃

[@michaelharrold1173]

Great Vlog, you've been fortunate to have the short queue times. I would love to have a Velocicoaster type ride in the UK, think it will be heavily themed around Harry Potter.

[@yourexperienceguide]

Thank you, it was a very pleasant surprise.

[@chrisjohnsonadventures]

Wow looks quite I was hoping to go here in 2020 but Covid stoped it good video mate

[@yourexperienceguide]

Time to plan a visit 🇺🇸

[@davidhughes4890]

I just got back on Wednesday arrived on the 3rd Sept and was there for two weeks. The humidity was a killer.

[@yourexperienceguide]

It was roasting wasn’t it? We flew out on the 4th

[@CoasterJames]

How hot is it? When cycling I use a product from a company called Muc off on my cycling glasses to stop them fogging. Wonder if you could use it on the video camera

[@yourexperienceguide]

35 degrees and 80% humidity rating on this particular day, luckily this problem didn’t continue all trip

[@joshl9328]

Is Orlando normally this quiet in September? Looks like a good time to go

[@yourexperienceguide]

Not too sure, it wasn’t this quiet in September 2022

[@whoknew2273]

When the Kids are at school Low Queues

[@yourexperienceguide]

It was busier in September 2022

[@GurraH933]

What do you think next trip is gonna be?

[@yourexperienceguide]

There’s two more videos to come from Orlando then we move onto the next thing 😎

[@GurraH933]

@@yourexperienceguide thanks

[@thesaint5619]

If hulk comes uk it's easily the best coaster in the uk universal will kill it over here just build it they will come and universal will make money hand over fist

[@yourexperienceguide]

It would be so forceful, and so thrilling. It’d be a shock for any thrill seekers who’ve not done anything like it.
