@aengus To be fair, Hollie knew that. Don’t tell her though.

The most popular ride won’t have Express anymore, but I’m sure they won’t discount Express Pass pricing.

This is a bad move. Either upsell people or don’t. Playing the middle is just poor practice.

[Universal Orlando Resort @UniversalORL]

@Stigg00 Hello Steven. We are implementing an operational update to Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure. Effective July 1, 2026, the attraction will no longer be included in the Universal Express program, allowing us to improve the flow of the experience for all of our Guests.

@pastorjonself That’s a solid price and you know it.

[UO Explorers Podcast @UOExplorers]

@aengus It looks like that raptor is a giant hand puppet.

[UO Explorers Podcast @UOExplorers]

@theverybusybeee @UniversalORL I don’t understand why it’s so difficult for Universal to handle basic communication. Why does the answer you get vary so much depending on who you speak to? Everyone in a customer-facing role should have the same basic information.

@pastorjonself That’s a fair point. It probably leads to a lot of people buying Fast Passes for the wrong Six Flags.

Just give me back the Patty Melt Jon. Hollie isn’t doing well.

[UO Explorers Podcast @UOExplorers]

@aengus @pastorjonself It was Hollie’s idea to take out the random factor 🤷‍♂️

[UO Explorers Podcast @UOExplorers]

@aengus That’s actually a pro tip. Prices in general have actually been steadily down.

[UO Explorers Podcast @UOExplorers]

@aengus I’ve been challenged to a rematch. I’m going to schedule it for 2027.

[UO Explorers Podcast @UOExplorers]

@aengus You take out a small loan and get Five Guys instead.

@aengus You���re the reason genies would prefer staying in the lamp.

[UO Explorers Podcast @UOExplorers]

@aengus Haha it was so bad!

[UO Explorers Podcast @UOExplorers]

@pastorjonself Genuinely inedible. Can’t be consumed. It was like trying to eat an ankylosaurus.

@pastorjonself This has “Try Hard” written all over it.
