I've seen those a few different places, even saw one in Germany. Wonder what kind of patent is involved because it seems like a different company/group every time

I'm going to Universal Orlando the last 5 days of June. Doing 3 days in the parks. What are the must rides?

Transformers 3d
Simpsons
Harry potter

Mummy isn't bad, twister for nostalgia

Get fast passes Pronto. Especially in the summer when you are going. Well worth the price as wait times can get into the 2 hour range.

Hulk, Spiderman, all the rides in Harry Potter in both parks, the Rip Ride Rocket are all must rides. Hell man. All of them are fun. Download the Universal app so you know wait times.

I thought he said universal so I didn't include islands of adventure but you are totally right. Universal parks easily have the best rides. Not really a bad one. Some lamer but nostalgic like ET and Twister

Doing both parks. How do the fast passes work? Like Disney where you have to go get them at the ride first thing and then they give you a time to come back? We got them, Universal Express or whatever they are called. We also got the thing where you get to go in the parks early.

You should be set then. Universal does it a little different if you spend a little more. You can get a faat pass to all ride versus doing it at each ride. I think they charge you an additional $50 or something like that. Also if you are staying at one of their hotels you can buy it all there prior to going to the park.

Yeah, we already have it on our tickets, added like $450 to our total cost. I just didn't know how it worked. I know at Disney, I had to take everyone else's ticket and run around like a mad man when we first got to the park, going to a bunch of rides and getting a little ticket with a time to come back and ride on it.

Decided to grab one of my favorite burgers for lunch today and noticed that the front window was busted out and there was caution stuff around it when we walked in. We heard 1 of the customers mention something about a robbery so I looked up the story... quite the night for someone...

Disney isn't like that anymore. You can only fast pass 3 rides for the day. You have to set up your fast pass online or via their app. It is best to set your day up the night or a couple of nights before. I prefer spending the extra money at Universal and getting express passes for every ride. You will still need the app though so you can check out wait times. Even with express pass you might still have a substantial wait.

Good call... compare for yourself, there's a GameStop in the same shopping center...

When did this change because we just went there this past summer. Had to run to the fast pass booths to get on the Cars Ride. Could only get 1 fast pass at a time, but could get 1 each hour or something like that.

Last winter or fall I believe. You now run to a line where Disney employees register you on an iPad for the 3 rides or shows you want and dates and times you are looking for.
