JulieHOST
I do think that I would still recommend it.
JulieHOST
I don't think you have to, but especially from the Harry Potter piece, I think that experiencing those two parks first, and, I mean, the Hogwarts Express, like, all of that, like, that's just ...
JulieHOST
That is core, foundational Harry Potter.
JulieHOST
[laughs] Like, you wanna see those things because the Ministry of Magic and the Battle of the Ministry queue, they're gonna see the original Harry Potter franchise, but the rest of it is not.
Kelsey GravesHOST
Both parks have Harry Potter attractions at them, which is super fun.
Kelsey GravesHOST
You can take an amazing train, the Hogwarts Express, in between the two parks.
Kelsey GravesHOST
I mean, if you have a Harry Potter lover, you've got to get here.
Kelsey GravesHOST
So what was your plan? Did you...
Kelsey GravesHOST
There's some amazing rides right here, which include Hagrid's Motorbike Adventure, which is considered one of the best rides in the Universal theme parks, and then there's Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, which is kind of like a motion-based dark ride inside the actual castle.
Kelsey GravesHOST
It's fun, but it is pretty intense.
Kelsey GravesHOST
There's Flight of the Hippogriff, which is a cute little coaster that's like great for everybody, and then of course we already talked about the Hogwarts Express train ride.
Kelsey GravesHOST
So did he do any of these Harry Potter rides?
KrystleHOST
But Margie wanted to do the train.
KrystleHOST
Hogwarts Express.
KrystleHOST
Yeah, Hogwarts Express.
KrystleHOST
But we didn't check to see [laughs] the wait or any of those things on there, and it ended up we walked all the way over there and it was delayed.
KrystleHOST
It was closed down, and we-- of course, they had no idea when it was gonna be back up, so we decided to go back in the other direction.
JamieHOST
Um, uh, yeah.
JamieHOST
And then, like, to get from Island of Adventure to the main Universal Studios, um, you get to-- We have the tickets that you could take the Hogwarts Express to ride from one park to the other, and it is really cool.
JamieHOST
You really do, like, you get, you get to the train sta- Well, from Island of Adventure, it's just like a, like it's a little walkway past Hagrid's, and then you arrive at, like, a little train station, and they load you on the train.
JamieHOST
Um, and then as you actually physically move from one park to the other, they have, like, little videos playing in the window.
FrancisHOST
Yeah
JennaHOST
... then you're in, or like you're on the Hogwarts Express or something.
FrancisHOST
Hell yeah.
FrancisHOST
Hogwarts? You kidding me?
ChloeHOST
big like noodles with three different like toppings yeah really tasty all really fresh as well so i
StevenHOST
think we got lucky with that headed on over on the hogwarts express uh grabbed a butter beer in hogsmeade just spontaneously wanted a frozen butter beer it was delicious and delightful and then jumped on hagrid's because i obviously needed to return the favor we didn't actually have a break
ChloeHOST
actually in this time we did we went back to the hotel then we came back to the park again then we went back to so we actually went back and forth quite a bit oh we had some pool time in the middle of the day we did that's why that's why a bit of tan inside yeah um but the butterbeer was definitely was fantastic and yeah
StevenHOST
and always fantastic anyway
LauraHOST
It's not like
ZanePANELIST
I'm on the Hogwarts Express and I'm like, holy fuck, we're like traveling to Hogwarts right now.
ZanePANELIST
I look out and I'm like how is this screen here and on everyone's and like I want to know why where is this screen coming from is it a projector is it not right and then once I know that once I know that I'm going to have fun and enjoy it I like to know why my love for
TayanPANELIST
universal has transcended like thinking that I'm in the world now it's about like the impressiveness of the technology and everything so it's like I just already I just want to see that obviously we
PaulHOST
From the
GrantGUEST
start, the best way to actually get between those two parks is actually by the Hogwarts Express.
GrantGUEST
Which we did.
GrantGUEST
We have two different worlds of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
IanHOST
So good.
NeneGUEST
And the train was so, I mean, I would have never even thought to do that, to just basically have a Hogwarts Express type train and just walking through and seeing all the different cabins and the scare actors being able to bob in between the cabins.
NeneGUEST
And it
Alicia StellaHOST
is until the third run that Angie points out to me, it's the same couple every time with the Grim Reaper staring at them and they're aging and then decomposing.
SamGUEST
And just getting that wristband early doors versus, yeah, before – when you had to, yeah, queue up at like four o'clock, like near Transformers, Finnegan's area, and then you were in your pen and things, versus now it's like right from literally the park being opened.
SamGUEST
And I think also there was a secondary ticket area around, Hogwarts Express around, yeah, Diagon Alley and the London waterfront area.
SamGUEST
So again, no matter where you're coming in from, you've got that opportunity to, yeah, get your band early.
SamGUEST
And then I don't know if it was 2pm exactly, or if it was like quarter to two or whatever, but yeah, such a great way of doing it.
SamGUEST
I was just looking at the way time, seeing how much I could get done up until that point when I needed to start using express.
SamGUEST
I think that time was probably.
SamGUEST
maybe about 8 39 o'clock by that point i just thought you know what it's not worth spending any more time especially being the old man that i am and bedtime fast approaching at midnight so it was like i got to that point where to start with it was just met the most disdain scream met the most of you know the location i was in and what the wait times were in and around me you know um Hellraiser in particular I enjoyed that and it was like it was advertised at 60 but it was literally about 15 minutes or whatever so it's like well whilst I'm here I might as well just go back round and back round so I managed to do that one a few times but yeah there wasn't really any plan other than Stranger Things first and just see how much I could get done Up until, yeah, the Express was required.
SamGUEST
But like I say, I was umming and ahhing and I'm so glad that you and everyone else who went to Premium Scream Night had such a better time than by the sounds of what people had had last night.
