I don't think anyone at all does these type of videos for theme parks, and that makes your content so valuable for those who love to know how things work. Modern Marvels for theme parks, a perfect fit.

was absolutely surprised by the drop, universal truly pushed the limits with this one

[FloridaMan]

I work with ride technology as my job and these videos are a great explanation on how everything works. This is all stuff the parks keep hidden from you, but most have no idea how complex they are.

This is the only ride I'll ever wait an hour for

I've been on hundreds of coasters across the country and this ride is definitely in my top 3, even though it's not as fast or crazy as others, the effects, launches, length, and especially the drop just make it an amazingly fun ride for all. I was grinning the entire time riding it. I always wondered how it all works so thank you for the great behind the scenes video!

The video and content is awesome, but dude I just want to say that I can hear the work you're putting into your own voice and presenting skills. Mad respect.

Your content is always something I look forward to when I see it on my feed & I just gotta glaze you up for a second dude. Your analysis is always so thorough. The bit @14:30 where you pointed out that the hill is a kinetic failsafe is something I would have never noticed much less expected to seen touched on in a YT video. Little ingenious tricks of the trade being utilized and showcased by someone who is enthusiastic about that tech's inner workings /its creative implementation is what sets you apart man. Anyone can explain, "magnetic fins go brrr and ride cars different magnets don't like that so it goes forward" but you bust out a model complete with coils and liquid cooling and explain the schematic behind the components generating the field. THIS is the theme park content I absolutely love and need more of. SO many people just go "it's kind of like a pepper's ghost effect" But no, you have a diagram explaining the layers to a musion installation. Never stop doing what you do man. I recommend you to every other theme-park tech nerd I know. Cheers and thanks for another insanely informative deep dive.

My favorite ride and worth the wait didn’t expect that drop at the end I couldn’t stop smiling after for about an hour walking around

RIP Robbie Coltrane. Glad he got his own theme park ride before he passed.

[Buttered_corn]

It’s crazy to see how much better your videos have gotten. You are way more confident and the editing is much better.

I really like the staggered seating in Hagrid's Motorbike Adventure. It allows everyone to see the show scenes on the left side of the train.

I'm going to Universal for the first time since Hagrids opened later this year, and I'm super excited for it (and Velocicoaster)! I also commend Universal for investing in a bigger maintenance building, which wouldn't be necessary, except for guest satisfaction.

Im a coaster/theme park enthusiast and vids like this brings out the inner nerd in me

[crazybird]

Just got a chance to watch this video. Well done on this remaster! Its quite shocking how old the other version was.

We got stuck right after the drop track the other day for them to add more trains. Jarring, but one of the most fun rides there.

[Hattrick]

The train I was on got stuck at the bottom of the 16ft drop last week for about a minute or so. We could hear the ride still operating above us while we were stuck. My girlfriend and I were shitting our pants thinking the next train would drop down and crush us lol 😂

[william]

Thanks for putting in the work I enjoyed this

[ddc]

Great ride and we went on it several times. Never had too long a wait except early in the morning, when the line to get in ran out of that part of the park and into SUESS LAND! Miss Robbie in his MANY roles, but especially Hagrid.

[CapeManCoral]

Yes, very good. I always enjoy How things work. Thank you
