Will you be staying at one of the new Epic Universe hotels when they open?
Ian looks like Kevin Owens
I'd love to see Seth and Alicia make an Universal Creative book about the old rides that are now gone from Universal Orlando and OfCourse one for all the current attractions.
Oh wow before I went to Disney World and Universal for the first time in 3rd grade, I read the Unofficial Guide from cover to cover. I literally was planning my family's itinerary. "We have to go to this area first because we've got two Superheadliners and one of them is slow loading" lol
Silence is golden, duct tape is silver. LOL
Rapterra is a B&M wing coaster, Skyrush and Flying Aces are Intamin wing coasters. Very different forces on each model, Intamin’s wings are very intense while B&M wings are a lot more graceful and floaty. B&M restraints are not painful at all, just a little uncomfortable.
Congrats on the new book! I hope the 2026 edition has a "look back" at what you got right from the 2025 guide.
This got me so unbelievably excited for the Unofficial Guide 2025. The WDW version was such a huge part of my life during COVID. Amazing job by everyone who had a part in the UO 2025 version, can't wait to read it
More episodes with Seth! Loved his energy with you both.
Wing coasters are great! Come to the Midwest and ride them! Gatekeeper, Wild Eagle, Thunderbird (launched)!
4 days late and you'll probably never see it, but Dollywood has a winged coaster and also has the jeep coaster you guys seen last year I think.
You guys should go to Dollywood. You would really enjoy it.
47:30 writing a chapter about a park that isn't even open is cringe🫶🏾
We went on Alien Encounter on our honeymoon. He doesn't remember it, but he hated it at the time. The dark, the whippy “string” under the chair, the spritz of water and the wind made a negative impression.
