Is Universal Studios Worth It In 2024? - Park Review

Фильм және анимация

I just got back from a 4 day trip to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. The two parks are not that big but January is supposedly the time to go, as the crowds are lighter. While that may have been the case for most the park, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter felt busier than the previous year. Broken rides, expensive food and all the Butterbeer you can handle, await you at Universal Studios. My family and I had mixed thoughts on the experience, with almost all the magic gone now.

    It's crazy how theme parks can charge people so much money and expect them to be find waiting over hours for a ride they paid to go on

    Park reviews?? Dude, Adam! This is awesome!! Looks like, despite some things, you had a great time with your family. ❤️ My kids are still pretty young, so we probably won't be doing theme parks for a long time. Did a Gaylord hotel for the water park, and that worked out pretty well. 😅 I'm depressed about the prices and inflation for these sorts of things anyway. We'd have to fly a family of four out to FL and THEN also pay for the park. Sooooo yeah, whenever we have extra cash laying around... if ever haha!

    I hate to say it but this place looked like it was full of movie themed stores selling tourist crap (probably charging too much). The good part was you getting to spend time with your family. The kids grow up way too fast. It almost seems like a dream to me. Was that the foot of they Ozymandias statue? It woud fit.

    I noticed Simpsons at Universal Studios, I was wondering since Disney owns Fox will the Simpsons go to a Disney park eventually.

    I think universal has the rights to the Simpsons theme park area until 2028 or 2029. After that Disney would probably start selling Simpsons merch at their park. I kinda doubt they'd make a Simpsons area . Simpsons isn't exactly popular like it used to be. Also I just re read the dark Phoenix saga, it still ROCKS!

    Personally all of my experiences at Universal have been way more enjoyable and stress free then Disney lately. Universal seems to be really pushing hard for actually good new rides which Im happy to see. New stuff like the Velocicoaster and Borne Spectacular are freaking amazing. I cannot wait for Super Nintendo World to come to Orlando with the new park they are building. If you want to really have a guaranteed great time though, go to their water park. Holy shit that place is jaw dropping, and they have a smart little system set up where you can actually get on the more popular stuff easily with out waiting more than 30 mins.

    Your a good guy man and I know you are a real family guy which is awesome. But for me I feel a little blue for the father that can barely afford to take their kids to these type of parks. I am more so throwing shade at the nuts higher prices and inflation. BTW I have been to that restaurant you showed. You are correct, way better than it deserved to be. I forgot name myself, but I still recall from years ago. BTW the weather in FL has been pretty muggy or cloudy lately, uncommon for this time of year.

    Fun video!! Also I agree. King Kong was the biggest disappointment for me. I went when it was being built and I was so hyped. Then “The Fast and The Furious” is just stupid. It should have been a rockin roller coaster type ride that goes Fast and Furious. Like what a missed opportunity. Have a coaster where each cart is shaped as a different car. You have the Skyline GTR, charger/chalenger, Hans ride from Tokyo drift, and maybe the pink one from 2 fast 2 furious. Kind of interesting how I hate both of those rides and they are almost the same exact ride.

    Idk, I loved this park and Disney when I went as a kid, but as an adult, I don’t think I have the patience to wait in line for that long for rides anymore. And I don’t feel like it’d be worth the wild amount of money for me.

    Unuversal studios has some great stuff like the harry potter area but the rest of the park feels unfocused and theres way too much motion simulators that act as rides. This is just my experience from the Florida park.

    I went to Universal for the Harry Potter part because I love it so much. I didn't realize that to see both Hogwarts and Diagon Alley you have to pay for BOTH parks. So after fangirling over the alley I went to get on the Hogwarts Express... imagine my utter disappointment that I couldn't get on the train 😞
