Once again, great upload! It’s so amazing how CZcams is becoming the nearest substitute for a time capsule. Didn’t know how many videos of the past were uploaded this much. You must be surprised of how much there are
@hollywoodkid1342 Thank you, and yes, I've never really though about it that way . . . but yes! your right, CZcams is definitely becoming the nearest substitute for a time capsule 👍
I got to say that I am always surprised you were able to keep the video take in such a good shape. I think all mine broke and had a run. HAHAHA. The most important think I still cannot understand is how the heck is it that there are so much less people there in the 1995 time frame compared to now. HAHA. 👍👍👍
Excellent to see these videos, these are my memories, amazing to see others with the same joy and amazing to see the 90’s - I miss those days
@1990sDialUpWeb I miss those days as well, the 90's were the best
Very nice collection of video scenes of the park from nearly 30 years ago. A note you might find interesting. The original Jaws ride (June to August 1990) was a bit different from the one shown here. The ride underwent major refurbishment for two years to the form you see it in this video. The main differences were that right after the boathouse, the shark actually bit down on the front of the boat and dragged it across the lagoon. Also, at the end of the ride, instead of the the shark frying itself on a cable, the skipper would actually shoot a grenade down it's throat, blowing it up. Yes, it actually simulated blowing up the shark, throwing chunks of "shark meat" and blood into the air in a huge geyser. I always thought that was a better finale. Not sure why they wanted to change it.
@Vulpine407 The original Jaws ride looked so amazing when if first opened (especially when the shark got hold of the boat) but they had major problems with the ride breaking down constantly which wasn't great for the park! Universal pulled the plug on the ride in August 27th 1990, just 10 weeks after the grand opening of USF, shorty after Universal filled a Law Suit against the Ride Manufactures, If you would like more information there is a great book available called "Adventures in Amity Tales from the Jaws Ride" which goes into great detail and available from Amazon
@@DisneyDave Yep. IIRC, the contractor group that got sued was called "Ride and Show" -though I'm not 100% certain of that. They got sued over several rides including Earthquake and Kongfrontation. Again, IIRC.
Great job Dave, really enjoyed this and appreciate your hard work 👏👏👏💕
@Lorna. thank you Great to hear you really enjoyed this one 👍
Theme parks of 30 years ago would bore people to death these days. However, at that time they were perfect for our needs!
3 years before I was born… wow.
I may be wrong, but I can't think of any remaining attractions with large volumes of fires and explosions comparable to Kong, Jaws, Earthquake and the stunt shows. I miss the slight singe of heat on my face!
@ridetrackx that’s what made USF such an amazing experience I can still clearly remember riding Kong, Jaws & Earthquake for the first time & feeling that heat on my face, it was incredible!! 🔥👌👏🙌

Thank You For sharing My Memories
@ayokunlecoker3162 your welcome

@@DisneyDaveThe Name Is AK Coker? And My Birthday 🎂 Was 3 Months Ago?
Happy belated Birthday
All great rides 👍
Casper was there! Oh man I wish I could have seen that, thanks for the vid, so cool
@alternativegirl25 The Casper section was the best, I love seeing film props etc so this was great to see, Universal Studios Florida were always putting these on, I also remember them doing the same with The Flintstones, Jurassic Park, the Mummy and more
@@DisneyDave the Flinstones! Oh man I was obsessed with the Flinstones as a kid
Subscribed and liked and the bell is on.
@sethcarlow8363 Thank you Seth
@@DisneyDave your welcome.
Ai upscaling isn't needed on these old videos, it actually makes them look worse.
Thanks for your feedback & totally understand the AI upscaling isn’t everyone preference 👍
@@DisneyDave I think it's good and bad. The additional frame rate is good, but the AI kind of ruins the dark shots. What do you use to upscale by the way?
@@Tom_Morrow1994 Agreed, that maybe down to me because I didn't fine tune the dark section in the colour correction edit process 👍 re your upscale question, I used Topaz Video AI
This was Universal at its peak. Nintendo, Harry Potter, and what other IP they gobble up can't compete with 90s universal.
@AlexChipman agreed 👍
Have you been to The Funtasic world of Hanna-Barbera, Nickelodeon studios, Alfred Hitchcock experience and Back to the Future the ride and have you got the whole pov experience?
@dragondaveltd1992 I've got a couple of other videos with Nickelodeon Studios and the Alfred Hitchcock experience on my channel, But stayed away from filming Hanna-Barbera and BTTF, because one, they used to come out terrible when I filmed video screens and two, because I didn't want to get into trouble and get kicked out of the park if they caught me filming lol
@@DisneyDave true, true
