New Zealand Family go to Universal Studios Hollywood for the first time!

I must say that the absolute worst part of your videos is when they END! I love this family!

Truly lol. I hate watching family channels but I LOVE Theirs! 😂😂

Sam wins Dad of the Year Award ❤🙏

[@Sting72]

I just love your family! My dad has stage 4 cancer, mother severe scoliosis and my husband’s dad advanced Parkinson’s w/ dementia and his mom advanced dementia, so stress is beyond normal at this time. I get a mental vacation watching your videos and virtually travel with you all lol. I get to curl up and watch your videos (sometimes lately over and over lol) and really look forward to them. You have definitely helped me with my depression and for that I am grateful. Thank you❤️. Keep posting and I’ll always be watching.

[@Justiceincorporated.]

Hang in there. Rough days ahead. Peace be with you.

[@ct6852]

That's a lot. Hope you're doing alright. ❤

[@anneo3754]

I hope you have help! There are support groups in most of the larger towns for caregivers. 🙏

[@thebyrd433]

Your family is so lucky to have someone like you. Definitely make time for yourself, though. Get in touch with caregiver support groups. They might offer counselling and even another caregiver to help out for a couple of hours so you can get some time off.

[@Sting72]

@@anneo3754 my husband and his brother just placed his parents in an assisted living facility that specializes in dementia and Parkinson’s. This takes a lot of the worry away. As for my parents, mentally both are good, bodies are failing and my brother lives closer to them than we do.

Hey Sam, You need to take your family to a Friday night high school football game asap.. I'm sure the whole family will enjoy it.. it's also very affordable and it's as American as it gets..

Yes! Definitely needs to happen!

If you do a HIgh School football game you almost have to do it in Texas! Man, they do HIgh School games that rival NFL spirit!! (But come to the east coast...I have a hookup for Philadelphia Eagles tickets!)

[@hughfuller8416]

It’s a huge adrenaline rush. The band. The cheerleading. The dance team. The roar of the crowd.

Oh good idea. That would be fun.

Hey… I know those guys!! It was great meeting you all. So happy I was able to help make your day even a tiny bit easier.

Such a lucky guy. You have the family that I always wanted. A faithful wife and kids that actually enjoy being a family.

Amazing quality video Sam! You've stepped up your game so much. I've been a subscriber for years. You've come so far!

Reminds me how much I miss music videos on MTV.

I love how Denzi's face is just in awe of everything the entire time😯😲😮

[@flipper_1969]

YES! Apparently you've figured out your KZbin billing snafu and are going strong. No doubt that you have a lot of content to let loose now and I loved this episode. I haven't been to Universal Studios since the late 90's. A lot has changed apparently. I'm so happy that you all had a good time. Family.

[@Cypress93]

So happy For you guys my favorite family on KZbin !!!

[@jeffthomas4843]

Great editing. The music and transitions are top notch!

[@silvermineband2719]

We took many trips to Universal when I was a kid. Back then, it was more of a working movie studio than theme park. The highlights were seeing the actual movies sets and the tram ride. My mom and I took a trip there about 2009 to relive our past. She was in her 80s and I had to convince her to let me rent a wheelchair for her. It was a great day and I remember seeing the Waterworld show. She passed in 2012 and I haven’t been back since. Thanks for the video. I clearly remember being about Denzel’s age when the “new” JAWS element was added to the tram tour (around 1975). The flash flood was one of the first effect elements dating back to the 1960s.

[@team7us]

27:43 - Yup...that's the same faces we made when we first got in Jurassic Park. 1992! Thank you for giving me the chance to re-live those memories.

[@3DJapan]

I went to school on the back lot of Universal Studios Orlando and I had full access to the park. I was in there almost every day, sometimes for lunch or sometimes just just walking around behind the scenes. My school hired 2 or the Waterworld stunt people to do motion capture for our final project.

[@bcannon23]

This video makes me want to go to Universal Studios with my kids! We lived in Dunedin, New Zealand 18 years ago for 2 years. We loved New Zealand, and it's fun to see your family enjoying the United States!

[@SirPrinceBo]

Awesome stuff, it inspires me to take my family there one day and we're from Texas. Thank you for all the hard work you do to record this for you and all of us.

[@jeffhampton2767]

Sam is reliving his childhood through his son. I did not have that kind of relationship with my father. Looks like a great time. ❤🇺🇸🙏🏻✌🏻

[@pinedruid]

As always, worth the wait, Sam. I just wait that it wasn't so long. Keep in mind that you are visiting places that so many people from the US haven't and won't. So many people are living vicariously through your video. Not to mention the excitement from you and Denzel. Or the sunshine in the miles of Nadine and Atlanta. Thank you for showing the world that there are tightly bonded families out there. Holding my breath until the next installment. Hope you are all well.

[@sandylee9564]

Brings back lots of memories when I took my daughter there wayyyyy back in the 1978...You looked like you enjoyed yourselves.

[@jerryhosford4557]

I am almost 60 and I have never been there, you are so lucky. Love your videos.

[@TillsRojas7]

I live about 10 mins from Universal, and I grew up with my mom taking my brother and I here so many times of the year, she’d save up all year long to always get us the year membership so we always had somewhere fun to go to. I love that your family is able to enjoy this now!! From watching your “Why not to mess with America” I love that you guys are finally here!!

[@BethReed62]

I love watching Nadine on the rides. I think she’s having as much (if not more) fun that the kids!

[@Watjalukinat]

Man, what a blessing to not only be able to travel with your family but to do cool things like this and have it all on video on top of that. Your kids are the perfect ages for this kind of stuff too. We traveled a lot as kids(my parents were going to be missionaries then my dad became a pastor in Kansas). We got to go to Magic Kingdom around that age and I think Universal would have been better suited to that age

[@melaniedejonge5234]

Oh, fun! I used to live about a half a mile from there. I could see the universal building from certain points on my street when I was walking my dog. 😊

[@lou7139]

Love Universal! Went there once with minimal crowds and a fast pass and it was a blast!

[@LilyCorowsky]

That looks like a whole lot of fun! I miss that place. I need to go there again very soon! Disneyland too!!! 🎉❤ Blessings to you guys! 😊

[@theathjr]

Great video guys ! The look on Denz face of pure astonishment tells it all. It looked like you all enjoyed your trip. I live 2-1/2 to 3 hours away and I haven’t been there since the 80’s.

That Behind the Scenes ride is definitely WAY better than the 1989 version I was on! Jaws was almost the same though! Still scared the crap outta me! King Kong was amazing! I saw them filming of Back to the Future 2 filming location and Jaws 3 and the Golden Girls house. I loved every minute of it!

[@chuckokelley2448]

Some kind of fun

[@momzillainnova]

OMG I absolutely LOVED watching you guys enjoy Universal Studios! I am a theme park junkie and visit Disney and Universal as much as possible. Watching others have an amazing time is almost as fun as visiting the parks for me. Watching you guys tour America is just so heartwarming to watch. Hoping your next trip will bring you to the east coast because we have SO much to offer as well! (Washington DC alone is worth the trip to the east coast!) Can't wait for next week's adventure!!!

[@GerryJ-kq2fv]

I felt like I was right there with you! Your videos are very good and very entertaining! I've enjoyed every one that I watched! I have to say that I love our New Zealand family! Do you agree?

So glad you went to the real working Universal Studios first. Where movies were actually filmed and you get to see the sets on the back lot tram tour.

[@michellec2909]

I haven't been to Universal Studios since 1977. It was mostly a working studio at that time. I did notice Atlanta wasn't to thrilled about the earthquake Porto of the ride. You guys need to go to Magic Mountain Amusement Park. Lots of roller coasters there.

[@ct6852]

I think Denz hates roller coasters. They do go to Dollywood later on this trip though.

[@misssnapcracklepop1]

I look forward to these ones every week I’m so glad everything worked out to where you’re able to post them without problems. Been watching for a few years now, but never comment. Just wanted to say that I always look forward to a new video 💞

[@RanManRaider]

WELL DONE ! Y'all make great videos and this one was no exception. I grew up in the SoCal and had the pleasure of experiencing many of the entertainment locals y'all have visited. The entertainment business in Cali is top rate and I'm glad y'all are getting to experience some of it. There are similar, but not identical, locations in Orlando, FL. that y'all might consider for future adventures. I've lived in the Tampa Bay area for the last 40 years so I've gotten to experience most, if not all, of the entertainment here and I think y'all might might want to consider for future adventures. Again, great video. It's great to get to see smiling faces enjoying life. Enjoy and be safe ! :)

Hey NZ Family! I’m so happy to see you had a wonderful time at Universal Studios during your most recent trip to America! Wish I could have met up with you as I live a few minutes from there! Also, I had my Prom there in the little village near the Minions ride (when it used to be a theater show for The Terminator). My family has been enjoying your RV roadtrip videos so far as they are getting ready for their own RV trip across California and then the rest of the country. I had the chance to visit the South Island of New Zealand back in 2013 for my 23rd birthday and wish I could go back soon. My mom worked for New Line Cinema at the time they made The Lord of the Rings movies. (And of course I did a Lord of the Rings tour in Queenstown)! Can’t wait to go back and see the North Island the next time I visit!

[@philstone3859]

So great that this a family thing. It reminds me of travelling with mine when I was your kids ages. Lifetime memories! One of the coolest things you can do for your children. 🇺🇸
