Universal/IoA secrets

try opening the doors in the MIB queue.

 

[Spidey7]

OK, you can't leave me hanging like that what happens?

And is this just in the regular que line? I haven't been in the regular que since the first time I was there, always have the fast pass access.

And does anybody know where the can of shaving cream is in Jurassic park, I missed that one????????

 

[bubba's mom]

In the que in MIB, check out the bottom of the lockers, there is slime coming out of one.

 

[Spidey7]

Of course there's my favorite.....If you look over at Mythos while you are walking across the bridge to HULK, you can see something that is "happy to see you" on top of the Dome at Mythos.
In fact, this is theme that is prevelent all throughout IOA and USF. The statue of Liberty is holding one in Spiderman, there is one in the drywall on the Mummy Queue, and there is yet another one in the heiroglyphics. Did anyone already mention the phone number on the theater? If you call it, you get a message about Doc Ock.....

listen to the conversation going on in the submarine docked in Port of Entry.

 

[Spidey7]

What submarine, I can't believe I missed a submarine???????

 

[Timmy Boy]

What Dr. Doom says to you in the chambers:

Dr. Doom: "You are the last and final piece of my plan. Your terror, sucked from the very marrow of your being, will fill my fear fuel resevior and make me the most powerful man on earth. Doombots! Ignore safety warnings and set for maximum extraction!"

Doombot: "Maximum extraction enabled."

Dr. Doom: "Now, put your head against the headrest. I don't want to miss a drop. Prepare to be terrorized."

Tower launches, comes back down.

Doombot: "Fear fuel exceeding expected levels."

Dr. Doom: "You have served Doom well. Thanks to you weak mortals, I finally have the power I need to crush the Fantastic Four. The triumph of Dr. Doom is at hand! Muahahahahaa......".

it isnt easy to spot, basically as you're entering the park you have to go all the way to the lagoon, then a little bit to the right, you should see it, but its down a ways...

I've never been very close to it actually

Thanks I actually have been around that area before on an earlier trip and never noticed it. I didn't really go down there last week. I'll have to look for that next time.

I take it its not a ride or anything you can go on, just there for visuals?

 

[skifast22]

Haven't seen this mentioned yet but in Seuss Landing if you toss a coin into one of the fishes mouths' at McElliots Pool, it'll squirt you.

Secrets that I have encountered:

1) Getting onto the Fear Factor Show: Too many people try too hard to please the people who are running the "casting" process. When asked personal questions, think of responses that will get those watching you to laugh. That's what got me on!
2) Prizes for Fear Factor Show: The person who finishes in first place receives 4 free passes to Universal and Islands of Adventure. The runner up receives 2.
3) Apparel provided for Fear Factor contestants: Each player is provided a pair of paper underwear to wear for the activities involving water!

 

[bubba's mom]

In my TR, I have some....but, one that comes to mind is this: IF you get to the Studios at 11am or later, and there are long lines at the turnstiles, enter the Studios thru BMG theater off CityWalk....brings you in next to Jimmy Neutron...and, no turnstile!

Can't believe no one's mentioned feeding the fishes in IOA.

Save some bread from lunch (Mythos bread is best!) and head for one of the bridges between lands. A favorite spot in the bridge between Lost Continent and Jurassic Park. Kids love this.

There are few more fish at USF than there used to be but no where near as many as at IOA.

This probably wouldn't be a big deal for others but we love it. In Spidey when the trash truck is heading straight at you holding up a big dumpster, the name "BOYLE" is stencilled on the dumpster as if that's the name of the company. Since it's our last name, our kids get such a huge kick out of it though last week the lighting was very dim and we couldn't see it, even on 4 times around!

There are unicorn hoofprints in the walkway around The Flying Unicorn.

Notice the names on the windows in the New York section of US. For example one says Genco Olive Oil Co. like in the Godfather.

This is a fun thread - makes me want to go back to USF right now!
