Late comment: was there last week 3 morning drops for Hagrid. 45 minutes before drop, there was line stretching over bridge. If not in actual queue ropes, expect 10-20 minutes just to get through fingerpint/ticket check. Then, 20-40 additional wait on Hagrid line. But each day there, with three of us trying, we got Hagrids each day (along with rope drop)
Thank you for the tips! I’m going with my girlfriend in a week, and I never knew about the drop times for the Hagrid’s queue. Hope we can make it work!
Hey Vincent! We met at the velocicoaster padock when they began testing with human riders last week, you were super nice to us. I used to watch roy beforehand and was starstruck to meet him yet I felt he did not bother making an effort to strike conversation like you did to us. I almost felt like the dont meet your celebrities quote was real because he paid us no dust, but you were quick to talk to us, so you just gained a new subscriber.
Spring Break has always been about survival. It’s not a time that lends itself to thriving. Jokes aside, this was an especially informative episode. Your excitement for Velocicoaster continues to give me joy and hope. Thanks Vincent!
I must be lucky....I’ve gotten virtual passes on first try for most of the newest rides in the big parks in Orlando. Also loved the water/fireworks show....didn’t know Universal had this show. I actually prefer water shows over fireworks. On me t visit I’ll definitely stay for the show. 👍🏾
Took us 4 days to get virtual passes for Hagrids. It actually open at 7 AM to get passes. They might release more at 11, 2 and 4. It doesn’t help the ride goes down for a while as well.
Sometimes if the line is so full you wouldn’t able to get any for the rest of the day.. great ride don’t get me wrong but the wait is killer.. it took me about the same to get the pass 4 days
So my little sister and I had the virtual line to Hagrid‘s ride.. you basically getting in line for in line we waited for two hours after we had the virtual line pass. 😂😅
Awesome video!!! For hagrids once you are at the point of choosing your return time, I have had better luck with getting a pass by choosing the earliest time available as my first choice.
We went to Mythos in Feb 2020 as a walk up. Said a 20 minute wait, we figured why not, and they called us in less than 5. 🙂 The theming is beautiful and the food was good. I don't associate Universal with sit down restaurants like I do Disney so overall it was a pleasant surprise
bro i enjoyed so much kinda felt like a was there for a minute...going there next week so major question..was the firework show everyday of the week or how does it work also i got 4 day 3 park unlimited express package think its good enough to check the whole park rides etc??
Is summertime busier than spring break usually? I’m visiting Florida many times throughout the year so I just wanna gauge the crowds. I only know about the fall time which is usually a ghost town.
DUDE THAT SUCKS YOU DIDN'T GET TO RIDE HAGRID'S MAGICAL CREATURE MOTORBIKE ADVENTURE THAT RIDE LOOKS FUN AND EPIC ANYWAYS ARE YOU SAVED VINCENT? HAVE YOU ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR AND RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE I COULDN'T IMAGINE HEAVEN WITHOUT YOU YOU HAVE A GOD GIVING TALENT ON THE RUclips KEEP UP WITH THE GOOD WORK
I'm confused about this virtual que for Hagrid's. Yesterday while in line to ride after using my virtual que reservation, there was another separate line allowing people to move to the front (express).Even though on the app for this ride it doesn't show express pass available. I can't think of any other reason but I believe if you have a virtual line reservation AND an express pass they'll allow you to move to the front of the line.
To my knowledge, that separate queue right now is only being used for guests with disability passes for people with passes to come back and ride, usually given out when the ride breaks down (which it does a lot)
Question: If I come with another person and we didn't buy a ticket together, can we each reserve a separate time and be able to ride twice together? Or do we both need to select the same time on both phones to be able to ride together?
I'm thinking, why did it default to 4 people and you had to change it to 1. Shouldn't always start at 1? Maybe everyone was selecting "4" people even though they are 1 and just booking a time and taking all the virtual line passes even though they didn't need the extra 2 or 3 passes for "4" pre-selected? Or was your app showing 4 people in your party before you went into the app to select a virtual pass? So many questions!
@@VincentVision I know Universal has some Stoick Merch. But, what I'm wondering if Stoick is a Costumed Character on the Universal Orlando Resort Property.
@@VincentVision Oh, okay. But, maybe I can ask every Character that I meet when I go to Universal Orlando Resort. I'm planning to go for Halloween Horror Nights, but, I don't know which Characters are friendly around that time. And which are not. Thank you for your input, Vincent!
You have to keep looking! I know Stoick is on the Universal Orlando Resort Property. If he’s not in Universal Studios Florida, he’s got to be in Islands of Adventure or Volcano Bay. I know he’s at somewhere at Universal Orlando Resort. My heart tells me this.
Ok so yesterday while we were in line waiting to go on the ride , there was another separate line that had people just skipping ahead. I want to say if you got a virtual line reservation AND an express pass you can use your express pass. I can't think of any other reason why the other riders were using the other line to skip ahead.

Super helpful! Pinning this comment

My favorite Universal restaurant is Mythos
It’s such a hidden gem, love the atmosphere
Hi Vincent.. love your videos. So much fun and you are Sooooo informative. Thanks for Sharing....
Awesome video Vincent! I’m coming down next weekend for Mardi Gras and I can’t wait
Thank you for the video. Short and straight to the point with very useful information. I'm going next week Monday Friday for my first time ever
Great vid Vincent! I dig the survival guide and that intro music was cool.
thank you for all the wonderful information and great content, as always! :)

I've never been as an adult and this was extremely helpful. Thank you!
Thanks for the info!!! Definitely going to follow!

I'm going to Orlando next year in January and the information given is rlly useful! Ty 💪🏼 greetings from Chile! 🇨🇱
January is a great time to go, it will be relatively slow!
I’m going the week of April 4th - do you think spring break crowds would have died down or still be high?
High and the fast pass 200😑

Universal has some really solid sit down restaurants!
Funny how he was jeff goldbluming in jurassic Park area 😆🤣😂
Great video. So glad we went in October. I rode Hagrids 5x a day.
i have been on the motorbike ride and the line is extremely long but very quick
Not when the ride has problems and your stuck in the same place for like an hour and a half
@@alexbinion614 i would complain to mangement
Congratulations 🎈🎊🍾🎉 on 6.07k subscribers and have wachow day Vincent.
Awesome 👌 🆒️ man
wish me luck , im going the first week in april and im not getting express passes hopefully we can still enjoy the park
Thanks for the good advice
Cool 😎
No you’re cool
Can i use my express pass for this ride too, because it doesn't make sense you can get a virtual pass but not go in with an express pass?
bro i enjoyed so much kinda felt like a was there for a minute...going there next week so major question..was the firework show everyday of the week or how does it work also i got 4 day 3 park unlimited express package think its good enough to check the whole park rides etc??
This was awesome, Thank you!
Thanks Nicholas! I loved working on this one
We are trying to go the third week of October. Do you think it will be very busy?
I don't think so

Hi! I'm going in May... Do you think is going to be that crowded by that time?

@@VincentVision ahh! That's explains it. I was like what in the world is happening here lol. Thanks for the info.
Question: If I come with another person and we didn't buy a ticket together, can we each reserve a separate time and be able to ride twice together? Or do we both need to select the same time on both phones to be able to ride together?
You can both get two separate returns times if you play your cards right!
@@VincentVision wow that would be awesome. Haven't been to islands since it has opened! Exited to hopefully ride this and velocicoaster this summer!
I'm confused. Are the parks 'as busy as ever' or are they at reduced capacity? Can't be both.
hoping velocicaoster is open for my next trip!!!!!
What are the show times for the Cinematic celebration ? And it’s going to be available this week?
YEP ANYWAYS ARE YOU SAVED XIMENA ? HAVE YOU ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR AND RECEIVE ETERNAL LIFE I COULDN'T IMAGINE HEAVEN WITHOUT YOU
So if a ride offers a return time, that means no standby line? So no mummy and hagrids standby unless it’s just first thing in the morning?
Exactly!
I'm thinking, why did it default to 4 people and you had to change it to 1. Shouldn't always start at 1? Maybe everyone was selecting "4" people even though they are 1 and just booking a time and taking all the virtual line passes even though they didn't need the extra 2 or 3 passes for "4" pre-selected? Or was your app showing 4 people in your party before you went into the app to select a virtual pass? So many questions!
Nuclear family?
@@VincentVision okay so then i assume it defaults to 4 and not 1. I thought maybe you had something set up in your app that made it default to 4.
WOW YOU DIDNT GET ANY VIRTUAL PASSES AT ALL FOR HAGRIDS WOW IT WENT AWAY QUICK
I’ve been lucky enough to visit Universal Studios twice and had a ball. I don’t think I would want to go with all these changes.
What changes?
Vincent, have you seen Stoick the Vast anywhere in Universal Orlando Resort?
They have some HTTYD merchandise in the shrek store but not sure if they have anything of Stoick
@@VincentVision I know Universal has some Stoick Merch. But, what I'm wondering if Stoick is a Costumed Character on the Universal Orlando Resort Property.
@@valkahaddock8580 nope no Dragons characters :(

do you think the parks will be ok for mid April?
I’m expecting it to be just as busy, honestly
Did you go to volcano bay on March 10 11 or 12
I’m going next weekend so how do we get to ride hagrids like we need to get a virtual line thing or can we get in line I’m confused
Virtual line only
@@VincentVision ok thanks
Are the rides full capacity or are there rows skipped?
Nope. Ride is at capacity.
Is it easier to get a PS5 than it is to get on Hagrid's during Marti Gras?
No PS5 is still harder 😂
Are they still doing express passes for motorbike ride if it’s standby only
No express for Hagrids!
Ok so yesterday while we were in line waiting to go on the ride , there was another separate line that had people just skipping ahead. I want to say if you got a virtual line reservation AND an express pass you can use your express pass. I can't think of any other reason why the other riders were using the other line to skip ahead.
👍🏻✌🏻❤️
do u have any merch
Eventually! Haven’t dived into yet but I want to!
@@VincentVision I would totally get branded sunglasses!
My spring break got cancelled
😔
Why?
Cinematic Celebration is just a World of Color ripoff
not impressed
You’re cold for this one, Bob 👎🏼
The Hagrid thing is mental. Aren't they just allowing too many people in the parks in general? Money hoarders they are
My dad has the same mask as that guy is wearing that mask as shown on 9:59.
Pro tip: Don't go during Spring Break.
Dude, find a mask that fits.
