While not 33, its a “warm” 60 degrees right now. It is set to rain all day today ensuring that it doesnt warm up past 63 today. When you account for windchill and humidity it feels like its 45 out there - in other words I cant wait to escape back to Miami today lol where its going get to 79 today 😍

Orlando is forecasted to be rainy sweater weather till Wednesday and the coldest day is set to be Saturday with a low of 50 and the feels like likely to be in the high 30s/low 40s.

In other words @Disney Warrior I hope you packed ponchos and a few long sleeves!
I've been freakishly lucky when it comes to Florida rain. The worst I ever experienced was two 15 minute thunderstorms in the same day, including one I got stuck in RIGHT as I was getting off the bus arriving at Hollywood Studios so I had a LONG uncovered walk to the entrance :p When I went a couple months ago I kept hearing horror stories about how rainy it was before I left, and OF COURSE after packing for that weather I literally only encountered like two ten minute showers the whole time I was there and given the fact that it was HOT I would have welcomed more rain that trip haha.

Rainy weather in Orlando sucks! I only went on two rides (Minions and Transformers) and I was only at the park for about three hours (I’m in my hotel rn). It is very windy as well, I kinda feel that I made the right choice staying at the hotel for the afternoon. I did not expect Rhode Island/Mass like fall weather in the middle of Florida. Hopefully tomorrow has better weather than today. It’s also been 6 years since I’ve last been to Florida, and this is my first time at Uni.

Update: That day before dinner I had more time to kill, so I went back to USF, and rode Revenge of the Mummy, the jumpscares caught me off guard


Monday was definitely a better day, aside from not getting on Hagrid due to the long wait times (Forbidden journey was cool but I had no idea what was happening)

The weather gods were on my side during my third and last day at Universal, but Hagrid nearly destroyed me with its three hour wait in the morning, but it was well worth it. The only non-inverting coasters (I decided not to go on Hulk, Rockit, or Velocicoaster) I didn’t go on were Gringotts (didn’t want to stand in another long line for an HP ride, Harry is overrated) and the two Vekoma junior coasters. Jurassic Park and other water rides were not ridden by me because I didn’t want to get too wet. The joke attraction, Fast and Furious Supercharged was weird, wet, loud, and made no sense, family was only mentioned once outside of the pre show. I actually prefer Kong and Jimmy Fallon to Supercharged (and I’ll probably still make fun of it every now and then).

We'll be going live in two hours (5PM EST) for part two of The Great Universal Ranking Podcast!


Following the show, Monkey and I will be launching the pilot episode of The Generic Theme Park News Show (yes, that's the actual title we settled on ;) ) where we'll be covering IAAPA, KidZone's demise, the USH coaster rumors, and more!

Just like with the WDW rankings, remember to get your rankings finalized if you want to be included in the Forum's composite rankings for Universal rides.

Thanks! Just a heads up--they aren't rating Velocicoaster and Shrek 4-D (which closed down).

I already had Tiki (and Monkey's) bottom 20.
