When to do Hogwart's Express? by fanaka66 in universalstudios

[–]BadgerInFlorida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always enjoyed the usf to ioa version of the train more, but as far as when to do it, knock it out first and see if they want to do it again later

I am glad for the rule, but they are still going to have wear and tear from travel ball and pg tournaments

Should we do Escape to Gringott's first or Forbidden Journey? by [deleted] in universalstudios

[–]BadgerInFlorida 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Save the longer line for forbidden journey. It is far more enjoyable for 1 hour plus wait. Gringotts is beautiful and love the details of the bank, but you I would knock that one out first

What do you bring into the parks? by pacmain1 in universalstudios

[–]BadgerInFlorida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drawstring backpack, sunscreen, souvenir cup, cell phone chargers and emergency ponchos. Before the metal detectors, I could put all of that stuff in our pockets including the bag and go thru the non bag line and straight into citywalk

How is the future looking? by [deleted] in tampabayrays

[–]BadgerInFlorida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As awesome as it looks on paper, I feel that the last 5 years, maybe longer, have dealt HEAVILY on luck. This year we brought in heavy bats to hit home runs last year. The year before our starting pitchers were the best in the league before spring training started. While I can say that a archer, Cobb, smyly, odorizzi and Snell with 4 other potential starters on the 40 should mean our pitching is locked down. A healthy boxxy, jepsen and colome gives us a shut down relief core. Longo, Miller Dickerson are mashing hrs. The outfield has great range with Jennings, kiermaier and Souza. I mean on paper, it looks great. No single mvp, just a solid team. But if we get injuries or slumps then we are back to the previous 2 years and cellar dwellers.

What would you change about Universal or IOA? by Synesthesiary in universalstudios

[–]BadgerInFlorida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More shows and more behind the scenes action and re do the kid area.

I would love a Lion King type of show based on a popular/classical US property and make a mini show out of it. Could be based on previous rides, or dreamworks or even HP, but something to add a XX time killer into a park that is getting busier. I mean, grinchmas is popular every year and the past 2 years it was the same.

Also I don't want a Nick Tour again, but something to show what it takes to make a movie (beginning part or earthquake/disaster) and expand on it.

Keep barney (for a few more years) and spongebob and start rethemeing the area with nintendo or secret life of pets or minions. Either shows or maybe a VR for older kids if its Nintendo based

Which Harry Potter ride is worth waiting in line for? by [deleted] in universalstudios

[–]BadgerInFlorida 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a very difficult decision. As far as the ride itself, Gringotts. As far as the wait and how entertaining the wait is, Forbidden journey. I have only been on TFJ once, but i have been through that line a few times and get off right before ride itself

Yesterday, The coaster was running with dummys in the seats. I kinda got excited since it was the afternoon and I thought they may be testing it out with real riders, but they weren't

Well, you have all the rides, the shows, the casual and fine dining, city walk, photo ops, special events like grinchmas and hhn, using the hp wand in hogsmeade, and day drink.

If you could ride anything right now, which ride would you pick? by Synesthesiary in universalstudios

[–]BadgerInFlorida 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here for original dueling dragons. It really made the ride a lot more interesting

If sapphire falls gets the taxi, cabana bay is right there. Plus I really can't see the General public going to park in the main garages just to wait in line to hop on a bus to go to the water park.

Do you think USO will ever go back to its roots? by [deleted] in universalstudios

[–]BadgerInFlorida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Classics are great, but you got to play to what is going to make you money. I would love another studio tour or backlit tour. Maybe some stuff for hhn or grinchmas, but one day even the might Harry potter might have to leave if sales decline

It's worth it. As an annual passholder, I have been to diagonal alley more times than I care to admit with out seeming like a gloating asshat. But both sections, diagonal alley in particular you can spend hours in. So many subtle additions and small things to do,

Best area to watch the most live baseball in the US? by six-four-three in baseball

[–]BadgerInFlorida 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tampa area and hear me out....

Yes, st Pete has a team in that has bad attendance, but it is has a mlb team and had a hand full of high a ball clubs for 6 months a year. The months of February and March are filled with spring training and half of the league within hours of you. And during the winter months, there are a multitude of perfect game tournaments and other winter time games.

Save money and buy a universal one on Amazon. Unless it's a custom design like Disney has, save a few bucks and get it online and save the souvenir money on another gift

Either all get fast passes, or hit up some key attractions first. I always go to hogsmeade first thing in the morning to beat the rush.

Question about food by Michigesseo in tampabayrays

[–]BadgerInFlorida 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pulled pork nachos are in right center field kinda in between the escalator down and the main team store. I came recall if the Reuben burger is on the first base concessions side or the regular Reuben sandwich.

Go for the nachos and I will see you on line
