here but we'll get a better look when we come in here here we go welcome aboard the PS songb
the most luxurious paddle steamer the South has ever seen built by the best for the best
enjoy your journey along the grand Mississippi River New Orleans t
o Hannibal Hannibal Hannibal
Lector Universal Studios actually owns Hannibal when you're on the tram tour they have a poster
for Hannibal we've never actually had a Hannibal elor house we had Hannibal pop up I believe in
the Bill and Ted show and then also he popped up within one house but he's never had his own house
could we actually be getting a Hannibal house this year if you come over here to the paper you know
we already talked about the cards and everything but what's the first thing
right there lamb
right for Silence of the Lamb now a lot of the Marty gr merch has stting to go on sale so
if there's something that you're really looking for right now it's 30% off it'll get even more
drastically discounted uh the closer it gets to April 7th the clue for the original house that
we'll be talking about is in this final room now they are doing surveys with everyone right now
asking them about their thoughts about the tribute store again right out front we got a little Aver
advertisement right there all right let's head over here and talk about some things so Universal
is cutting Labby the cabie he's no longer going to be a meet and greet character now I used to
Pride Universal with being different than Disney I'm having these face characters cuz as you know
Disney cut all citizens all the citizens of Main Street everyone they budget cut it entertainment
and they just went the cheap route and went with just the costume characters cuz it's cheaper
to pay a cost
ume character than it is a face character cabby is one of my favorite things
about Universal Studios you come in he's always there with a great smile he's able to help gas
it kind of sets the tone for the day that you're going to have fun cuz you have cabbie waving
at you telling you some funny jokes uh now like cabbie is like theme park royalty and for them
to cut that character is so frustrating look I get it Universal has to pay for epic Universe
cutting these characters everybody's like
oh they'll bring back these characters no they're not
it's the same Disney thing once they're gone they don't bring them back as I was showing in the
Universal Studios Hollywood Video just how fun and important those B characters were to kind of
building that atmosphere and Vibe cuz you're just overwhelmed with all these fun characters and it's
a great experience and it makes you want to keep coming back for more I know it seems crazy that
I might do a silly thing but I'm not above doing s
illy things to make sure people are grinning for
example if you saw your face right now smile yeah yeah see what I'm saying mission accomplished by
Universal budget cutting cabie you're just like Disney no longer special because cabie was the
last original non-ip like face character that does meet and greet they cut the characters over
at Islands they budget cuted the characters over at Jurassic Universal has money and they're
just cutting these characters with which is going to hurt them i
n the long run cuz Universal
really like stood up while Disney sat down for a couple years to build something special and unique
and they had it and that's why everybody kind of flocked to Universal and they switched sides to
come to Universal is because Universal was doing something different I'm excited for the parade
coming hopefully cabbie can go over there or something I feel like he'd be good Quint we know
like the orc is going to be in the pre so I feel like cast cabbie as Quint put
him on the Jaws FL
keep him within the park but you're still going to be missing that kind of back and forth improv
that actor is so talented with so let me know down in the comments what are your thoughts about
Universal Studios budget cutting cabie it's I'll pay for uh epic universe so everything was planned
for epic Universe before 2020 everything was kind of budgeted they had it all planned out then
2020 happened and then the cost of Labor the cost of materials everything skyrocketed in
price so
they've had to budget cut stuff so the budget they had planned and set aside for epic drastically
different than what it's costing now so they are having to budget cut epic's going to be great
and amazing but it just sucks that stuff like this is happening because like it's more than just
a character being cut it's like cabie has worked so long to make that character special and unique
I'm happy Universal Hollywood still has New York citizens and the face characters tab's like par
t
of the family it's kind of like when you mess with the family it's like you kind of mess like with
all of us annual passholders let Universal know let them know how much you love this character
tweet at Universal let them know how much you love cabie he wait why are we trying to save the
cabie why not me because I know you're safe that's the thing do we I do you're good you're good to
go you're not sure cuz Paul bunions running out there AC everything I'm just going to miss seeing
him ev
ery single day like walking in it was such a great experience talking to him but he'll
be around for a little longer he's not going away immediately but there is an end date one of
the most frustrating things for me and for you guys is you're not going to hear another content
creator talk about this whatsoever cuz they want to keep getting their free cupcakes right they
want to keep getting you know all their little coins for epic Universe if you had more content
creators talk about things
that are wrong between all of us that there would be massive change I
just feel like I always have to be the bad guy content creator just come on Step Up the internet
just feels like two alternate realities it's like everybody's off in la la land and like for me
I care so much about the team members and cast members because like I'm friends with so many
of them right I work for the theme parks for so long so like I know the struggle I just wish
more content creators speak up and just stop l
ike just not saying anything they are surely
working on the nighttime show let's do a whole montage now remember in the last video over by the Fear
Factor stage we saw those crates and boxes that's the box and crate right there it looks like
whatever this was cuz this was not here last time I saw it again nighttime show I think June
is still what I'm hearing with the parade I know Universe was starting to look at different
actors for being cast for the parade and then epic Universe uh perfo
rmers had call backs I think
last week they do have Shrek meeting right now now Lush soap company am I saying that correctly
they launched a Shrek soap live it is time to enter your swamp era because Lush have launched
a collaboration with Shrek and like onions this collection has lay first up we have the Shrek
bath bomb which will turn your bath from a spar to a swamp of course there's cute little jingi he
is a bubble bar and he smells sweet and delicious I love the donkey one I personally
think he smells
the best as he smells like morning waffles there's the get out on my swamp slime which will add
decadence to showers they've repackaged one of their classic face masks as a Shrek theme
but watch out it's just veggie not vegan and of course there are a few Fiona products too
there's a nice fruity Springtime shower gel and also the most gorgeous body spray the packaging
alone is stunning it's another fruity fragrance which is nice but a bit overwhelming for me
but yeah get o
ut of my swamp and into Lush to Che out this new collab so the big announcement
the universe have today uh was for the How to Train Your drag in land coming to Epic Universe
they did a fun little uh flyth through of the land oh you there's a line for the Bumblebee
tacos goes all the way back to Canada so let's talk about hhn tickets um I
believe next week is going to be our first teaser announcement I don't think it's a full
commercial uh when it comes to tickets right when I was Universal
Studios Hollywood I renewed
my annual pass and they were pretty much just like remember when you get your hhn ticket you
have to make a reservation if you have the top to your annual pass you used to just be able
to like show up whenever within certain dates and then redeem your free Halloween horn nights

n't think so it just like yesterday we were waiting here for the Chucky house now speaking

like the original Ghostbusters and then also there's a bunch of behind the scenes photos
of Slimer from uh Ghostbusters Frozen Empire that's just how I'm going to visualize the scare
actors who are Slimer in the Frozen Empire house just asked then Hallmark is having a Ghostbusters
ornament this year it's so good it's a Stay Puff Marshmallow Man had to climb up and they're
burn
ing it Regal cinas just teased popcorn buckets coming for Beetle Juice 2 so it says wait

a new mixologist who knows how to make a drink and you will make so much money with actual drinkable
drinks alcohol the profit margins

keep your foot on the pedal and you're going to crush Disney but they're letting off the pedal on
that note let's go let's go off the CityWalk know we were talking about that little piece of fabric
that was hanging off with Spider-Man's they've um they've clipped it all right let's pop in the
Universal Studio a store here at Ci
tyWalk see if there's any new merchandise now they used to
have a package pickup service and a sign here but I don't think they do package pickup here anymore
you can buy stuff within the park and like pick it up here but I think it's gone we got the classic
the universal neon we got like the university design you have the Amity Island shark tours
Jurassic Park Universal Studios with all the Seuss characters my other ride is a time machine with
a DeLorean right there and then minion powered
so you're looking at $14 for these magnets these are
$40 copies of some of the Harry Potter books this is Prisoner Bas band this is pretty cool because
like it's like all these little interactive uh like pop out elements throughout the entire book
that's cool it's always crazy how like these books have kind of evolved with different covers and
different interactive elements and they do have some of the classic designs but over here these
are interesting so it's a bookmark and a little pen
but of the character's wand I had nothing
new at the Epic Universe preview Center here at Universal CityWalk but let's go over all
the info that Universal dropped today about the How to Train Your Dragon Land when you walk
through the portal into the aisle of Burke you're introduced to a sweeping view of the island itself
almost right out of the movies and that shot in my opinion is actually one of the best in the park

always listens to how people were spot to certain different houses now the dueling dragons house was
based off a
attraction that used to be at Islands of Adventure and there's another attraction that

SAVE CABBIE AND EMAIL guestservices@universalorlando.com
Kevin is one of the few honest and realistic Orlando creators
Very disappointed with Universal. The non-IP characters are the best and most memorable. When Disney cut the citizens I stopped going to Hollywood Studios. It’s like the magic was taken away. I like being surprised with interactions- what makes the California parks special are the actors. Let’s be real cutting Cabbie barely makes a difference in whatever budget Universal has. I rather pay more for food or tickets and keep that premium experience Edit: and thank you Kevin for covering this! I can’t stand the all is well content creators
I'm glad you're keeping it real when you speak out. It shows you genuinely care about the parks' entertainment and future.
This is why I watch your channel religiously! You say what other people won't. And I know that I (along with a bunch of other people) appreciate that.
Beetlejuice wanting to be saved is funny considering he has his sequel coming soon. The teaser trailer has been on YouTube for a while so he’s safe. Also I wanna be just like Kevin when I start content creating for the parks soon. Honest and say everything upfront so that people know what to expect
and YES Kevin, I appreciate your brutal honesty! 100% wish all content creators called out theme parks like you do when they misstep.
Your honesty and ability to laugh at the things that deserved to be laughed at and called out is a big reason you’ve become my #1 go to channel! I like know when things are bs or not and you do that very well! Not to mention have actually gotten things fixed by calling them out! Keep up the great work!
Lol that Disney bus wraps segment was hilarious. I'm very sad to see Cabbie go! Also, still crossing my fingers for a fnaf house at orlando this year!
You’re 100% right Kevin I’m so with you on the cutting of the special characters. That’s very sad that they’re getting rid of cabby.😢 please don’t stop what you do and in the way that you do it I too wish more content creators spoke about the parks and different things the way you do thank you for your honesty and your perspective. Your authenticity matters that’s why I keep watching you.
Thank you Kevin for the update front and unbiased reviews of Universal. I’m tired of seeing the all is well content creators ignoring what’s happening to the character actors. The need to keep Cabbie, he’s awesome. Universal will be getting an email from me.
I guess a great white shark showed up swimming in the tribute store floor projection today. 🦈 love these Easter Eggs.
That bus wrap looked impressive!😅
You're seriously one of the few, if not only UO vloggers/theme park vloggers out there that is real, and gives it how it is. Great content, and also keeping it real with us viewers. Keep it up, Kevin! Also, I hope Cabbie (and more characters) returns to us in the near future 🤞
Can’t get enough of the Easter Eggs you consistently find!
JUSTICE 4 CABBIE 😢
We need to save Cabbie, I live here and have been going to Universal for the past 18 years. Let's get a meet up to save our favorite cab driver
And this is why I love you…you tell it like it is!!! You give your honest opinions and thank you so much for that! This is why you’re the best Universal YouTuber 🤘🎃🤘
Budget cutting Cabbie is sacrilegious
I love how real you are! A lot of content creators don’t want to be on the bad side of theme parks and that’s sad because we see all the nice parts but not the real parts
