Thanks Alex, Your a superstar 👍👍👍
So fun looking back! I love all the 25th Anniversary merch that they have right now!
Molly, You cant beat the Retro inspired Anniversary merch, its the best , I need to check it out now
Man the Jurassic Park River Adventure definitely needs refurbishment. It hasn’t looked this good since the opening.
Ive not been on the ride for a few years, It was down the last time I visited 😢
They’ll tear it down and re-theme it to Jurrasic World like in Hollywood before it gets a good refurbishment
lol yeah the water looks so refreshed in 1999 ad well
It’s a minor thing but I really do miss the red lighting on River Adventure in the T-Rex area.
The spinning on the cat in the hat was no joke, you can see that camera trying to keep up lol
😂🤣😂🤣
People point out lots of rides that need refurbishment but Cat in the Hat you can really feel the difference. I think the main reason it's so calm now is because it was actually too much for little kids when it opened.
7:38 Spiderman using the kids head as a table for the signature cracks me up every time
56:03 That prop later appeared in the extended queue for Revenge of the Mummy, and later showed up at the Mummy gift shop.
That's so cool, I remember seeing it in the Mummy gift shop
"The Spider Signal!" Never understood that, so many questions, lol! However, the obsession with that ride was beyond insane. It forced the theme park industry to level up.
@ridetrackx it certainly did! It was so awesome when if first opened, I also remember the HD film upgrade they did in 2012 and they added Stan Lee
@@DisneyDave Now that you say that, I have..... somewhere..... the backlot team member newspaper on the upgrade. I'll have to look for it.
@@ridetrackx awesome 👏
Do you ever run across anyone filming in the universal merch shops back then? I’ve always been curious what they looked like and have never seen any footage.
Not that I can remember, Back then you didn't really see many people filming
Another classic video 😊 I wonder if you’ll cover Epic Universe when it opens
@hollywoodkid1342 Epic Universe looks AMAZING so hopefully 🤞 I will get to visit, I'm most excited for Dark Universe and Ministry of Magic
Thank You!
Your welcome
It was 1999 when we took our family to Universal, IOA wasn’t open then , it was Easter time but they were doing soft openings and we were asked if we wanted to go. We turned down the offer as we felt the kids were not old enough….one of my biggest regrets. We have done it since though 🤩
That would have been so cool going to the soft opening, but totally understandable if you kids were not old enough, Great to hear you've since experienced the park
Hey, wait for me!
You're not insured for this!
7:27 Shouldn't that fountain machine be Pepsi instead? It seems weird seeing a Coke machine at a Universal park instead of Pepsi at that time. I think that Universal should've sticked with Pepsi in the first place.
Isn't this almost the exact same video that you uploaded six months ago?
Your right there but the software I use to upscale my old VHS footage is always evolving and getting better, so this one is an improved version as well as this video has also be stabilized
@@DisneyDave I see
What software are you using? Davinci?Topaz? I have a bunch of Hi8 and mini dv and want to do the same thing.
Poseidon’s Fury 1.0?
Holy cow footage of this does exist
Wow
Is footage rare of Poseidon’s Fury 1.0? If it is I didn't know this
@@DisneyDave unfortunately it’s very rare outside of promotional footage
Mainly cause the original didn’t last long and not much film has been uploaded to CZcams at all
Thank you that’s great to hear
