Universal Islands Of Adventure Vlog September 2023

[@Shag471]

So happy that Charlotte sacrificed herself to some of the wettest water rides for us subscribers! ❤❤❤

[@hollybabyyy]

Sacrificed😂😂 rip 😂

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It was a great moment 😂

[@metallicnole4514]

It's easily the best part of the vlog. This one is worse than congo river rapids at BGT. You get absolutely soaked on this one.

[@Aarontaylor297]

😂 it's all for bloody show

[@DyI7]

I feel like Charlottes catchphrase is absolutely brilliant!

[@barbarabornholdt2854]

Charlotte seems excited for Popeye? Yay! 😮😊😂

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It was a great day!

[@square-on-wheels]

I feel that Popeye will always be the centerpiece of any TPW Florida trip. We appreciate you, Charlotte! ☂️

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Love it!

[@88tibro]

Guys, just thank you for keep giving me a smile after a tiring day at work! Charlotte too has become such an asset to the channel.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you so much!

[@mattboyd1081]

Charlotte and the water rides I love her reactions. She is hilarious love it.

[@letshighfive]

Glad that you mentioned it being a good time to visit for a first timer, I was waiting until the end to write a comment and ask!

[@reganperella7134]

Popeye omg don’t worry Charlotte you’ll do fantastic on all the coasters and waterrides

[@lukegreen5341]

0:01 I've Have Been To Universal Studios Islands Of Adventure Theme Park At Universal Orlando Resort In Orlando Florida In The United States Of America This Year Back In March 2023 And It Was Super Awesome And I Got Some Of Those Dr Seuss And Harry Potter And Marvel Comic Books As Well Too From The Gift Shop. Thanks Theme Park Worldwide Mate. X

[@654jimbob654]

I definitely share Charlotte's love of the Cat in the Hat! Such a sweet and fun little ride ❤

[@jonny-b4954]

15:15 That was my little nephews favorite part of the entire part. Kid just busting out laughing getting a dozen boats soaked. I like how you don't have to pay for them either. You have to pay for the ones at Dudley Do Rights. I can't deal with wet shoes either, usually bring flip flops for water rides. Love how Popeyes has the center console on the boat to put your stuff up and cover it. Hopefully we're seeing a new ride coming to Lost Continent since they closed the 2 shows. It's weird back by the talking fountain now with nothing going on back there.

[@matthewswain8159]

We were there the same day as you all and saw you vlogging … didn’t want to bother but love the channel

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Hope you had a great day!

[@JMalenoir]

We went on Popeye back in 2008-had no idea what it would be like but it was boiling hot and we fancied a sit down and a rest 😂 We got absolutely soaked and we've never laughed so much 🤣 Had the best candy apple afterwards too-brilliant park! 🥳🥳🥳

[@tigerlilly891]

Poor Charlotte but well done on going on it. Thank you so much for bringing us fantastic vlogs

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@bowsersean8098]

I found it funny when Charlotte screamed moaned and reacted on the ride at 10:23. 10:51. 10:58. 11:34. 11:47. 13:11

[@s.m.h.u.]

I went there in August 1999 - it was a life-changing experience for me!

[@FamilyInRealLife]

We're here this week too!! Have a blast!

[@cheeseross9132]

Thank you so much for your Universal videos - they are brilliant & so helpful. My son & I are going to Universal/Cabana bay on Monday 7th Nov. It’s our first time to Orlando. We’re going to celebrate my sons 13th birthday & are so excited. Do you have any tips on how to request a Volcano view room? It would make our holiday even more special. We watch all your videos as we love all the uk parks. We couldn’t believe it that the day we booked our trip was the day you travelled to Orlando! Normally we go to Disneyland Paris but this year amazingly it was cheaper to go to Universal! Florida! Thanks for all your tips! We have our crocs packed after seeing Charlotte on the water rides!!

[@berniehanrahan5701]

Great vlog as usual, absolutely loved Charlotte's grinch impressions 😂

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you! 😂

[@CatsnCoasters]

Well done on Popeye Charlotte. 😂 Loving the vlogs as always.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@timothybernardi68]

You guys are GREAT! Have a fantastic time during your visit to Orlando!

[@Porsmond]

A tip whenever you return to this park, as you mentioned Pteranodon Flyers is quite an exclusive credit, and when I went last, you could indeed only ride with a child, I remember going up to this ride op to ask nicely if I could ride but they just said NO But I then read from trip reports and from enthusiasts that people have blagged a ride on it if you go to the ride immediately when the park opens and for about 30 mins to 1hr when the ride is dead at opening, they will let you ride, so I tried this and got to the park for opening and went straight there and sure enough with no queue(literally 5 people ahead of me), I went up the queue line and the ride op said nothing and just let me ride. It was a really nice moment to get the exclusive credit, the ride cars swing more than they look and there is a couple of nice floaty moments,granted it’s nothing thrilling or spectacular(it was over in less than 1 minute if I remember) but it was nice to come off and say I finally got the credit. Maybe rules have been updated over time,but this is something to try, to test the theory on that day, I went back a couple of hrs later and the queue was nearly out the entrance, and again ride op said no to riding,to be honest you don’t want to be queueing stupid long time for it anyway,if the queue is out the entrance, they say the queue is about an hr

[@reganperella7134]

yeeeeeeeeeeees the moment I’ve been waiting for Charlotte and Shawn’s reactions to all attractions fan flipping tastic fantastic star to my second year of college hehe fantastic time here at transitions watching these amazing couple yeees congrats on 361 then 362 subscribers phenomenal job on the uk coaster updates in your hometown staffordshireeeee

[@CoastersThrillsAndAirtimeHills]

Honestly - you get more soaked on the cedar point rapids! They have water falls and you just go straight through them all.

[@whoknew2273]

Theming in this park is incredible best in the all the parks

[@aimeewilliams7993]

Aww proud of Charlotte doing the water rides looked like she was excited for them 😅

[@outaboutuk9955]

Absolutely love hagrids motorcycle adventure , such a great coaster and the onboard audio really adds to it too

[@jamiefairlie4837]

i love the need for speed on that ride i went on the bike on my own and i gripped on tight as it shot as fast as twists and turns and omg that ride was amazing i loved the speed it was intense but brilliant

[@similarart1074]

Well played Charlotte !!! The footage is priceless.

[@jeffhughes-zw4nj]

Yes, I've been to Disney world, Epcot and Disney Springs over 3 years ago.

[@suerichardson4381]

Loving the fans in the queue line 38:13

[@sellophanesun]

In a somewhat crowded field tbf, 'I literally detest them both, I hate them!' is probably my favourite Charlotte quote ever. Thanks both for another great vlog!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@jorjafoxluvr]

HAH absolute hoot watching Charlotte on Popeye :) Too good :D

[@saffronpennycooke2715]

I love your videos so much. As a lover of roller coasters it’s great how you give an overall review of every aspect of the park and really know your technical stuff!! You and Charlotte just make everything more enjoyable as well!! I watched your Portaventura vids religiously before I went with my dad 4 years ago. Thank you both so much!!! 👏🏽🤍

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@chrisscanlon147]

Shawn and Charlotte I been to that theme park island of adventure is was awesome and amazing I been on the the Incredible Hulk and Harry Potter at the castle and King Kong ride and Velocoaster I see was cool upside down rollercoaster

[@chrisscanlon147]

Thanks Shawn and Charlotte for liking my comment I see a lot of KZbin videos of both of you guys I love to see people I mean woman and girls well I see sometimes big beautiful woman and chubby and thick and curvy girls in your video can you give me a shot out to the woman and girls tell them I’m single

[@Sarah-to4er]

Thanks for showing us a bit more of Hagrids in the queue, cannot wait to ride this next year

[@johndee9890]

Absolutely love island's of adventure best coaster is hagrids motorbike the Hulk ride has a great launch but too bumpy for me as came off with a brain rattling headache not like when it was new it used to be a smooth ride, quick tip if you are over a certain height or size do not get into the very front or back of Dudley do right ripsaw ride as you will get stuck and require assistance to get out ,I know from personal experience

[@solskjaer1195]

Hands down best theme park in the world for me.

[@robertgray1756]

Great amount of open hours 9am to 8pm and 10 minute waits for some top attractions....can't be bad !! Lol

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It was a great day!

[@Ali-uy3sl]

Charlotte loves water rides now 😂😂 super proud of her x

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@iknownothing8829]

Charlotte’s Grinch impression: I’m impressed! 😂👏🏻

[@nicolaward1034]

The Hulk Coaster is one of my favourites, so exhilarating 💚 Yet to ride VelociCoaster….. Great vlog 👍🏻

[@seanmarshall6544]

Love Charlotte's Grinch impressions 😂

[@themeparktiger8112]

I absoloutely love this park, hogs Meade, and butter beer, and Velocicoaster are all just incredible!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s a beautiful park

[@Calakapepe]

"... no need for a poooonnnnchooooo..." 😅😅😅 I agree with Charlotte. Crocs are the best idea. water rides are much better with quick dry shorts (or hydrophobic) & a pair of crocs. Just keep 2 pair of socks in your bag. I also had a waterproof fanny pack when i did popeyes

[@Paolo8772]

As you already know: I can relate to Charlotte on those water rides. It may sound cruel, but better her than me. Thanks for finally posting your last trip to Universal Orlando Island of Adventure for Velocicoaster; I'll be lucky to visit Florida my 1st time ever sometime in 2025-5026 season when I'll be 56.

[@vicventures9823]

Love your videos. Thank you! It makes me want to have so much fun when I come out to Florida!

[@brent_in_aussie]

I think Charlotte’s face was worth the price of admission Love it

[@TheDutchCody]

Best theme park in the world

[@russking7775]

Popeyes - we'd take our shoes and socks off as we knew how soaked you'd get! Love IOA is always my favourite park. We were lucky enough to preview in 1999 and was interviewed for newsround in the UK. The video is now here on youtube

[@scottainge]

That rapid make me laugh when chorlette got soaked

[@katepalmer5630]

Love this video. We are planning Florida for the first time next summer but we have to go in August so I don’t think we will be so lucky with the queues!!

[@leeward538]

Loving the vlogs making me and my family so excited for our next visit

[@sharongreene3517]

Poor Charlotte with the water rides😂 we love her ❤😂 literally my favourite person 😂

[@CoasterRob]

Loved charlottes grinch impressions 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@aj2281ca]

It’s hilarious how much Shawn enjoys seeing Charlotte on a water ride 🤣 I literally was LOL 🤣

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s great fun!

[@Themeparkjourneysuk]

Omg it looks so fun, I’m going for my first ever time next year and visiting tampa and sea world!!!! So excited! I can’t wait to experience velocicoaster and iron gwazi

[@mikefidoe1338]

I absolutely love watching these videos after rough days at work! Charlottes grinch impressions were quality!! Thank you guys ❤

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@RaulZamboni]

It looks like September really worth it to go.. Nice video

[@AJ_Games88]

Love these vlogs Shawn, been watching for a while now ( remember you from towers back in the day lol) and you and Charlotte always makes my day lol can’t wait for the cruise vlogs ❤

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@connorpendlebury3931]

Coming here to Orlando in May was everything I hoped for. The Velocoaster has to be the greatest ride in the world. It’s an absolute beast!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s a brilliant park!

[@dannyharris2511]

Gotta say Charlottes grinch impersonation is spot on 😂

[@DJSOfficialUK]

Nice video, really enjoyed and look forward always for more. King Kong bus adventure doesn't really sound at the moment like an adventure, sounds boring and dull 100%. Can defo see that removed 100% in future, maybe with maybe a King Kong themed coaster be epic to see or if not a new themed coaster there? Just looked at show building behind Hogwarts Castle and hill, man its really massive 100%, interesting on how they really do make you and all of us believe your in these worlds using structures, arts and more. Just amazing, love it. Only really wish London Resort happens, we have our own International theme park, there is supposed to be more news & updates coming end of year, but I think yes 100% project is looking dead now, massive shame. But think they would of built it by now, still could happen, but its looking unlikely especially currently. But nice vlog, really loved & enjoyed, nice impressions of Grinch Charlotte, did you know there is a second film being made at the moment? Either being released this year or next Christmas? Not sure? But defo in works at the moment, but yeah nice vlog & look forward to now watching next. Cheers. 😀👍

[@zombiestyled]

First went to IOA In 99. Was as amazed by Spiderman then as I am now. The queue line detail was just as impressive. Still find it the best simulator ride. I like the Skull island ride and area a lot. I miss those animatronic rides from universal studios. Disaster, Twister, Jaws, Kongfrontation. They made the park so good. And Skull Island is a little nod to those for me.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s such a brilliant ride!

[@JBK123-v4z]

I can't believe I went to the velocicoaster I hated it I would go back on it but it was to intense for me

[@WanderingWithDave]

Gotta love the low wait times!

[@Global_Thrills]

Charlotte, what anti motion sickness medicine did you take to help with the screens?! We are going to Orlando in a couple weeks and my partner tends to suffer as well

[@robertgray1756]

Stugeron from Boots.

[@davidnm21]

So funny seeing Charlotte on the water rides getting soaked. Great coasters there at the park and The Incredible Hulk coaster is one of my favourites. Shame that Poisenden’s Fury has been closed down.

[@Conor.golfss]

Saw my head just before you rode the Jurassic water ride! We were there the same day!

[@CoastersThrillsAndAirtimeHills]

Charlottes grinch impersonations and mannerisms are uncanny! 🤣

[@jennifers8223]

it always makes me laugh when charlotte go's on water rides

[@chrisnequest]

i can remember coming here in 2010 the day harry pottrer world opened it took two hours to get into islands but was an amazing day

[@dylanmmc]

Forcing Charlotte to ride water rides will never get old. 😂

[@jamiefairlie4837]

i was there juat back from orlando and rode the amazing hagrids ride and velosocoaster it was fast intense and 100% amazingshitting myself as i went on it to strap myself in as i rode around the corner to see the long speedway then woosh i was off and that was it i laughed and hailed how amazing it was while on the ride my legs were like jelly when i came off it the wait times were 40 mins for the velosacoaster and 100m for the hagrids but didnt care was well worth it it was a pitty i never went on the hulk during after the jurassic fast coaster i had a headache and was hot and felt kinda drained out i went back on the harry potter train to go back to the other side thinking it was over the other side but it wasnt but gave up wanting to go back and going on it

[@hollybabyyy]

NOTHING better then IOA. Hagrids veloci hulk forbidden journey the water rides. Couldnt ask for more except the mummy. Love that one. Best park ever

[@YazzyYaz1910]

I’ve just visited Phantasialand for the first time and have since been playing their Rookburgh soundtrack. My colleagues think it’s sad that I do that. But I feel it transports you to a time in your head that makes you feeling something, just like certain smells

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s a beautiful soundtrack

[@Seanie37]

Charlotte on popeye was so entertaining 😂😂😂

[@simonmonange5325]

I absolutely love your channels! CAN you make a video were you visit KD decoratives?

[@tonyjohnson8604]

IOA is one of our favorite parks!!! Can wait to get back down there!!!

[@bonnieperkins4012]

Charlotte on the water ride to cute❤

[@chrisbaker9767]

Excellent video Shawn and Charlotte from Universal Islands Of Adventure! Join us as we get back on all of our favorite rides at the park including VelociCoaster, Hulk, Spider-Man, and many more awesome attractions. We also step back into The Wizarding World of Harry Potter along with getting a soaking on Popeye & Bluto's Bilge-Rat Barges keep the good videos coming on the channel, Shawn and Charlotte. 😀😎👍👍

[@gemmaboyce8792]

Yep we went on popeye and ripsaw falls in 2016....completely drenched on both. Completely!!!

[@TheWeirdgatcha]

Velocicoaster has to be my favourite ride now so good especially when its dark got to ride it 14th October

[@LauzieLooC85]

My son loved the Jurassic Park River Adventure although the first time we went on it the t-rex at the end wasn't working but we re-rode on our second day and it was working again!

[@lucygriffith773]

Loving your vlogs. I'm unlikely to be able to get to Orlando any time soon, so really enjoying being able to experience the parks through you.

[@whoknew2273]

I watching these channels quite a while and knowledge of the parks that Shawn has is outstanding also Charlotte makes it the perfect match as well

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@GizmosASMR]

Looks great can’t wait to watch :)

[@mischiefmanaged5757]

We absolutely love IOA. Those water rides are off the charts with how soaked you get; bet Charlotte’s glad that’s over. Charlotte was right about the pumpkin juice. You did have to buy it to get the bottle; that’s how I got mine. Not a fan of the taste. We also find the butter beer too sickly sweet but do like the ice cream version. Another great vlog.

[@liamrankin1976]

looks great. hill rollercoaster looks fantastic 😃

[@danielflynn8530]

I come from the home of Dr.Seuss in Springfield Massachusetts and I know where he got his inspirations for all the books he wrote which many are from Springfield and the forest park area. The book And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street is an actual street in Springfield.

[@vikingshelm]

Im hoping that they overhaul Cat in the Hat, ET, and MIB, and Jurassic Park. I'd live to see Rip Ride go, ans them being in a Ghoat Busters themed coaster, wirh dark ride elements and an immersive pre show/ queue. Back to the Future should come give Simpsons the boot when it's time. They could also use the Secret Life of Pets ride from Hollywood. They really need some all ages dark rides. I do have high hopes for the future. Universal is a great resort.

[@d_tbrit8439]

King Kong simply needs more animatronics for example the first screen scene when the flare gun is shot, why not have the flare go over the ride vehicle where it wakes up a animatronic Kong which roars in anger whilst the vehicle drives off to the next scene. The next scene being the bugs attack scene is an easy opportunity to have some bugs crawling on top of the vehicle or some bug animatronics on the side of the vehicle that doesn't face the screen.

[@arfrost3563]

Absolutely agree, I love this ride any way, and was lucky enough and (old enough) to ride on the original kongfrontation. This new Kong ride just needs a few more animatronics and it would be perfect. Maybe get rid of the weird dummy drivers to, and have some live action actors instead. It also features one of the best animatronics in the world in the queue line

[@hollybabyyy]

I love it when they shout “2!” And noones paying attention but me so i get to skip the queue. Exact thing happened on FJ and giant dipper in santa cruz. For once im glad ppl dont listen😂

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It works out great sometimes!

[@hollybabyyy]

24:38 the paddock theming is incredible

[@callmecharlottex]

Next time I go to Florida I am so visiting Universal!

[@paulbarrett4533]

I’ve seen vlogs of people doing pov’s on all coasters at islands and they say your allowed to now

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Sadly not, you even need to go through metal detectors

[@rottab9397]

dang how often y'all visit the US? Aweesome!

[@robertgray1756]

Saw Sinbad show in 2002 with packed audience. Saw it again in 2017...only about a 3rd full. Don't mind losing it but they must put something else in there.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Definitely needs something else in there

[@keiranhyre750]

Brilliant vlog

[@8Carl8]

Charlotte you should try anti sickness wristbands - they really work for me

[@hollybabyyy]

Nothing worse then sitting down on a water ride and the seats filled w water already and you just feel ur bum getting soaked😂
