I’m just saying this if I had to choose one to ride on a hot day I would choose King Kong because you barely get wet on ripsaw falls

Riding Hagrid’s at night is a must do for every Harry Potter fan. Absolutely incredible.

The first few seconds of the Hulk are fantastic, but that's also the downside - the rest of the ride never quite matches up. What makes Velocicoaster so exceptional that, if anything, the second half of the ride is even better than the first. Nice to see Spiderman so high up - it's still brilliant. I'd put the Hogwarts Express in the top 10, though

Love these videos! I had a particularly bitter experience with the Ripsaw Falls because of the long-leg situation, and the ride broke down right before the second drop. I also agree with your rating of Kong, because even though the cue is amazing, I feel like a coaster or even the River Adventure style would've worked better instead of a simulation.

Great video again 👍 We returned from Florida last Friday after a 3 weeks holiday. We managed to get on all the rides we wanted at Disney & Universal. It was out first return in 5 years, we had a fantastic time. Velocicoaster in the dark was absolutely mad & brilliant, the best coaster I've ever been on, and the wait was only 30 mins. Hagrids was also a cracker, about 50 mins we waited following your tips from earlier videos. Universal are going from strength to strength, they are definitely the parks to go to for teens 14 plus and adults, and with Epic just around the corner we'll be hopefully returning

I’ve been to the skull island ride, it isn’t scary in any way. The only downside is that the ride was SUPER SUPER loud, same thing with the fast & furious one in universal florida.
