Universal's Islands Of Adventure Vlog October 2018

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

This is the final vlog from our October 2018 trip to Orlando! We hope you’ve enjoyed this series of videos and we recommend checking out our dedicated playlist to see all of the vlogs we recorded on this trip!

[@glittabones]

Really appreciate all your hard work over the past month or so - you've uploaded so many vlogs in such a short space of time! It'll be hard to beat 2018 on the channel!

[@roblawes5873]

Thanks Shaun and Alex , totally enjoyed these videos

[@james82]

Only started watching during this trip. Now watching all the old ones as well. Impressed with the enthusiasm and dedication.

[@traceybeerling4776]

Great vlogs guys loved them all you and Alex are just great . Thanks for entertaining me . Xxxx

[@johnlawrenson-ny9fu]

Why can't u film tell me why they should be kind and letting u film

[@ianherbert3275]

out of all the shows, films and properties universal own I will never understand why the did the Fallon ride.

[@Couch_potato123-w5g]

The track at the entrance to the hulk was actually the original track used for the ride

[@FormulaOneFan98]

America's theme parks are so much more alive and professional compared to theme parks here in the UK.

[@visionist7]

Agreed, just spent the day at Thorpe (knackered) and Saw was down all day and yesterday it seems, though I caught the workers welding a section of track when riding Samurai

[@kylet4140]

Formula One Fan it is like in America the whole park is the experience whereas in the UK it's just the rides

[@ofclshn]

That’s because the US is the most competitive theme park market in the world. All of them have to be up to par with the type of parks they are

[@visionist7]

@@kylet4140 at least Alton feels like an experience in itself even if you don't ride anything

[@TheHesK9]

Hopefully we'll have a universal park in the UK soon if the rumours are true about the London resort

[@Wickerlad_2002]

Loves this series, watched all the videos from this playlist and really enjoyed it. One of my most favourite trip playlists on the channel. Love you friendship with Alex and great to see you share the trip together.

[@Noahmb3010]

I went here 1 year ago with my parents and sister (I live in the Netherlands) and it was the most fun park I've ever been to. Even better than Disney Land Paris imo, would love to go again

[@harrymasters7647]

I went to universal this time last year and it was definitely my favourite holiday I’ve ever had it’s so amazing

[@chrisives9388]

I been looking forward to this one as went here 10 years ago and looking forward to see the changes

[@visionist7]

Same I was there in February 2007. Hulk had the B&M roar then! (and no stupid fake roar)

[@AdamTravel05]

I can't wait to go back this year. I also can't stop watching your universal vlogs and your other ones too! Thanks for keeping entertained

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@mischiefmanaged5757]

Have to agree with much of what you said: FJ is my preference over Gringotts. Love both but FJ has the edge. I liked Dragon Challenge but am very excited for the new ride and glad it will still be a coaster. Dudley do Right definitely lacks theming but I enjoy that final drop. Kong was the biggest disappointment ever!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for watching!

[@JDBoyes07]

Ripsaw falls looks amazing though, much better than most log flumes in the world I'd feel. Other than Splash, Chiapas, WWF etc. It's much better than the ones without any themeing at all.

[@ryanspooner092]

This brings back so many memories from our trip in May. Gives me goosebumps. I really need to go back soon.

[@GarryWilliams555]

I love Ripsaw Falls lol my favourite log flume in orlando other than Splash obviously lol. I agree about Kong though. The old Kong ride at Universal Studios was much better.

[@TheHesK9]

I love this place. Me and my mate stayed at Cabana Bay, so we just came to Islands of Adventure every night from about 8-10pm. No queues for most rides

[@JimmyGoodYT]

Great video! Such a wonderful dynamic you two have. Had to come back and see these videos!

[@Wickerlad_2002]

I was just thinking and thought about how much it takes to have a channel like this such as filming these clips, then putting them together and editing them then actually uploading them, all the saved Povs etc i bet it takes alot of work to have a channel like this but thankyou for all the effort you put into this for us to watch and congratulations on all the subscribers and views, it just shows how many people enjoy you videos and appreciate what you do. Hope your having a good trip in Florida with Charlotte.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@attractionshubno1]

Great final Vlog from the Florida trip Shawn you absolute legend. I’ve loved every video you’ve uploaded from your Florida trip.

[@DaveBartram]

Was lucky enough to get into IOA 4 weeks before it opened in 1999 (sneak preview) going back again for the first time next October, really looking forward to seeing how much its changed. Bit disappointed that dueling dragons no longer exists though 😠

[@errickgalva90]

I'm glad y'all had a good time I would love to meet y'all

[@RarhCharmander]

Have been watching for a while now, love all these vlogs Sean, you and Alex make a good team. Makes me so jealous of the parks around the world while I'm stuck here with just a few mediocre parks in Australia. Look forward to every upload from you! Have a good one

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for watching!

[@jamescollings5515]

Shame. I love Ripsaw falls. It could use some more theming but the layout and the drop is great

[@JackBartholomew90]

If this is the final one, where is the other Universal park?

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

As we visit Universal Studios during Halloween Horror Nights on this trip we only spent a few hours in the daytime at this park. This meant that I didn't get chance to film a vlog from Universal Studios on this trip!

[@deezulboy]

26:43 when the girl picks her butt then immediately turns around and sees you were filming her you should have yelled out "Theme Park Worldwide on KZbin check it out!"." 😆 to be honest it looked like you noticed and purposely moved the camera to try and not embarras her so good for you. Another great vlog from one of my home parks!

[@JustMitchyNo.9]

I'll be there next year in October! Cant wait!

[@thrillmad9041]

Pleased to see final vlog (watched all) and looking forward to more theme parks and Liseberg🎢😍

[@jamesstanley9082]

Thanks Alex and Shaun for another great series of vlogs really enjoyed watching. Jim and Sue

[@xNintenJenx]

Loved the video as always! I would love it if you and Alex could come to Universal studios Japan one day, as although it being a smaller park, I think there would be a lot to enjoy and it would be great to see your opinions on my local park!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I would love to visit one day!

[@jamiescott-gobin3376]

Rode Duelling Dragons in 2000. Was a fantastic B&M. I like the look of the new Hagrid coaster but i feel they could have kept them and re-themed to the Harry Potter universe

[@jhinks7770]

When are you uploading the next planet coaster video?

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

There's much more to come from Planet Coaster this winter!

[@joshuawells4842]

Hulk - my first ever B&M (now re-tracked) Duelling dragons - my first ever B&M invert (gone) Jurassic Park - my favourite ride (probably going to become Jurassic world) The lost continent - JUST GET RID OF IT, REPLACE IT WITH A NEW AREA WITH A NEW KICK ASS INTENSE COASTER! Please. It’s all changing 😞

[@leannewood300]

I loved duelling dragons when both the coasters actually went at the same time! They then changed it so they didn’t duel anymore but kept it as the same name! I then went on it when it was dragon challenge and although I love Harry Potter and could see what they were trying to do, it just didn’t have the same feel! They’re definitely doing the right thing putting in something different!

[@CasualProYT]

This is AWESOME I just came from there a few days ago and filmed the whole thing as well, so awesome I came across this video! In my vlog we were terrified of Dr Dooms lol!

[@re0473]

Gun points at head Kidnapped:”any last words” Shaun:”theme park worldwide on KZbin check it out”

[@kevinseath1043]

Been a great vlog of your trip to Orlando and really enjoyed this one and can’t wait till I go next October 👍🏻

[@Peterwrayadventures]

Trust the rides to break down. Part and parcel of theme parks. So much spot on theming tho. How hot did it get btw? Just so much more than the uk theme parks.

[@laramacdonnell6304]

I think suess landing needs to be enhanced into an ice age style redesign.

[@gemmadisney5]

I’ve loved all these vlogs. Is there not one from universal studios?

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

[@rollingcoasters2311]

I will never forgive Universal for wasting a perfectly good roller coaster. R.I.P Dragon Challenge.

[@jamescollings5515]

ST Parks well we will see what the new coaster is like

[@AMagicProduction]

GamerBros the new coaster will definitely not be as thrilling as Dueling Dragons (oops I mean Dragon Challenge) but will be much more impressive in terms of theming, and elements

[@jamescollings5515]

AMagicProduction oh yer absolutely agree.

[@visionist7]

@@AMagicProduction Dueling Dragons' theming was exemplar

[@joshuawells4842]

Yes. Agreed.

[@georgeodriscollvideos7740]

Hi Shawn when you were in Orlando last year where did you stay when I was there in 2016 I stayed in the Ramada and last year I stayed on the movieland hotel just looking at a few other places for this year trip in October

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We usually stay in the Clarion Inn Lake Buena Vista

[@yugioht42]

You realize the lost continent is a Disney rip right. The legend goes that some imagineers jumped ship and started working for universal as animal kingdom was supposed to get beastly kingdom. Mike Eisner went to universal on vacation with his kids and literally saw every inch of Lost Continent and immediately cancelled Beastly Kingdom as he figured some of his imagineers might have jumped ship and the entirety of the lost continent was supposed to be in animal kingdom. So he basically left the last part of animal kingdom open for years until eiger put in pandora. What a mess mike Eisner you made.

[@dan9779]

I miss going there

Alex! Youre wasting away! Seriously though, good vlog, despite a noticeable lack of spooky dresses.

[@Skywards777]

Hi. Just to confirm there isn’t a Universal Studios video from this trip (other than HHN), or have I gone blind and missed it? Thanks!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

[@mattnewman4287]

Ah right; thanks for the clarification, Shawn!

[@Coaster_Crazy]

I love the Universal parks in Orlando, I always have but I still can’t believe they got rid of Kongfrontation and then went and built a worse Kong ride in their park next door, it makes no sense to me

[@jackknueve4645]

how does Spiderman and for bidden journey stack up next to battle for the sunken treasure, Mystic manor, symbolica , journey to the center of the earth, how does the order go for best ride in the world and explain

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

The rides over in Asia really are on a different level in my opinion!

[@rapmusiccritic6008]

Theme Park Worldwide i know!! do u mean a different level as in these two don’t even come close?

[@LOL-xb6zc]

I miss the hulk so much, i went in october and on my last day there, i went on it 6 times back to back. Its my all time favourite coaster. Beats the smiler any day ( smiler is my favourite uk coaster)

i have always wanted to go to universal

[@euanjones7117]

Shawn will you visit Nintendo World in universal when it’s built?

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We will do indeed

[@jamiebuckton1714]

I think youre being overly harsh on Kong. We all know its not the best ride in the world but come on, its somewhat enjoyable.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Unfortunately there's only a small part of it that I enjoy. It's much better than Fast & Furious and Jimmy Fallon though!

[@jamiebuckton1714]

All opinions i guess? Ive done it a couple of times and i think its a good attraction. The queue is amazing.

[@coolchick7197]

I know the feeling of getting absolitely soaked on water rides! Navy blue shirts go pretty much black especially when youre as nuts as me and ride ramases revenge multiple times (even in october)

[@imlewisblackman]

Guys I think you should be slightly more grateful. Kong is just a jumped up simulator, Better than what we have in the uk.

[@RusherTriumphdriver]

I Love Hulk Coaster.

[@steveg7685]

Alex has such good taste in rides. Couldn’t agree more about Kong. It’s just like - why?? One way you can tell if a dark ride is going to be no good is the size of the show building. I remember when they were hyping up Kong during construction and everyone on the forums was getting pumped. I took a look at an overview of the show building construction and noticed how small it was. It was just going to be impossible for it to be the massive immersive attraction they were suggesting it was going to be with a show building that tiny. The same thing happened with the Na’vi River Journey boat ride at Animal Kingdom. It sounded like it was going to be great but I also noticed it had a really small show building during as it was being constructed. And of course it turned out to be very lacklustre.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]
