CityWalk’s Red Coconut Club Nightclub at Universal Studios

April 11, 2011 by

red coconut night club in Orlando

The Red Coconut Club, located in Universal’s CityWalk, is a dance club that really knows how to get the exotic vibe flowing. Retro furnishings take you back to a sixties-looking disco inspired by the Cuban culture, while bands playing tunes make Baby Boomers feel comfortable.

They play the latest hits and everyone seems to have fun on the dance floor. Live entertainment and a tropical vibe make this one of the best clubs in Orlando.

The Red Coconut Club makes you feel special; once you get in here, you are treated like a royalty. Inside you will find unusually shaped seats, a colorful clubby decor, top notch sound system and bartenders at the three separate bar areas that are really good when it comes about mixing drinks.

Bubba Gump Shrimp restaurant at Universal Studios

Bubba Gump Shrimp restaurant at Universal Studios

Based on the movie, “Forrest Gump,” Bubba Gump Shrimp captures the charm and American spirit that made this movie so popular. The entire chain, including the Bubba Gump Shrimp Restaurant in Orlando, Florida are all decorated with videos of Forrest Gump movies playing, pictures of Forrest Gump characters and popular quotes from the movie.

There is always something fun going on for the kids and the host station out front is the bomb! Bubba Gump Shrimp is truly unique. It even features a “stop Forrest stop” and “Run Forrest run” license plate to draw the attention of your server.

However, the waiters are all very friendly, and they make sure you have a great time while you’re there. The atmosphere is indescribable… you simple have to see it to believe it.

Jimmy Neutrons blast ride to close at Universal Studios

For those of you who love the Jimmy Neutron’s Nicktoon blast ride at Universal Studios, I have some sad news for you. It seems as though Universal will be closing the ride this year.

Universal Studios has announced that on April 1st, 2011 they will be closing the Jimmy Neutron’s Nicktoon blast ride at Universal Studios Florida theme park.

They will then start to build what they call an “all-new experience based on an amazing concept” at the location. They don’t say what the new ride or attraction will be, other than it’s a natural fit for Universal Orlando.

Universal Studios rock the universe music concert

This weekend is the annual Rock The Universe 2010 Christian rock concert event at Universal Studios! Yes, it’s the same weekend that Disney has it’s Night of Joy event at the Magic Kingdom.

So I guess you need to pick one or the other if your into Christian music. Well, let’s see who’s playing over at Universal Studios shall we? But first, let me tell you that Rock The Universe will be held on two stages inside the Universal Studios theme park, NOT CityWalk or Islands of Adventure.

You need to buy a Rock The Universe ticket, as normal theme park tickets do NOT include the music concert. It’s this weekend, Sept. 10 and 11. You can enter the park as early as 4:00 PM and the event last until 1:00 AM.

Latin Quarter nightclub at Universal Studios

If you’re looking for a sophisticated restaurant with a fun theme plus a great night club, then you must go and visit the Latin Quarter At City Walk in Universal Studios. Here you can dine on the best of South American, Central American, Mexican and Latin dishes.

Apart from the restaurant, Latin Quarter at Citywalk comprises a dance studio, nightclub, retail store and art gallery. All you have to do is to relax and enjoy the magic of Latin dancing, cuisine, culture, music and art at Latin Quarter.

Labor Day weekend events and times at Disney, Universal Studios and Sea World

Labor day weekend events at Disney, Sea World and Universal Studios

With Labor Day weekend coming up, many want to know what’s going on at the theme parks here in Orlando. Specifically what Labor Day weekend events and activities are going on at Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and Sea World? What times will the theme parks be open?

Well, actually the theme parks don’t really do much different things for Labor Day weekend. For the most part they just might have a little more in the parades, a little better fireworks show, maybe some cookout type of food served on open grills.

You might even see a few Labor Day themed food carts or merchandise displays. But for the most part Walt Disney World, Universal Studios and Sea World will be like they have been all summer during Labor Day weekend.

Rip Ride Hollywood Rockit song music list, top song played

August 17, 2010 by

Rip ride rockit hollywood music song list

Well it’s been a good summer for the new Rip Ride Hollywood Rockit roller coaster over at Universal Studios. I’ve been on it several times and it’s a lot of fun. I’ve had several people ask me what the music song play list is on it.

I think the rip ride rockit music play list is a nice mix for young and old alike. I’ve also been told there is a hidden soundtrack you can find by holding the top key down for 10 seconds. Then you type in a code, but I don’t know what it is.

Anyway the main music soundtrack for rip ride rockit roller coaster is pretty good, and you don’t have much time to pick one. So I’d just stick to the songs you can find in the main soundtrack.

July 6, 2010 by

Well the summer is really going to be busy over at the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park at Universal Studios. Here’s another youtube video I took. This one shows all the things and snow covered houses in Hogsmeade village.

As you can see it’s very packed with fans! You can see the big butterbeer cart in the middle of the street. Plus all the other famous shops from the Harry Potter movies.

I think I’m going to make a slide show video of Hogsmeade village too. Sometimes a clear picture is better than a moving video camera. Anyway enjoy this youtube video of Hogsmeade village at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter!

Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle youtube video

July 3, 2010 by

Here’s a new youtube video I took at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park at Universal Studios. It’s a very detailed video of hogwarts castle from different angles. I used a 70X zoom lens to really get all the details and show what many can’t see.

As you can see it’s much more than just the main hall part of hogwarts school of magic. You can see other towers and sections of the castle plus the walkway bridge.

Universal Studios really put a lot of effort into getting all the details right and you can see them all in this video. The whole hogwarts castle is just a shell that houses the Harry Potter and the forbidden Journey ride.

Butterbeer, magic wands sell great at Harry Potter park

June 18, 2010 by

Harry Potter ride inside Hogswarts Castle

With guest being let into the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park at Universal Studios for the soft opening, one thing is clear. Everyone wants to buy Harry Potter merchandise!

For Harry Potter fans, owning something from the Harry Potter movies is one of their top things to do. That is looking like both a blessing and a curse for Universal.

The blessing is of course it’s great they everyone wants to buy Harry Potter merchandise. The crowds all want a sip of the frozen and non frozen butterbeer from the cart that sells it inside.

Another popular item is getting a magic wand from the Ollivander’s store. Buying a chocolate frog at Honeydukes, a candy shop is another popular stop.

In all Universal Studios has created over 600 items to be sold inside The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. They are very happy with the brisk sales of merchandise.

One of the big ticket items I was surprised to find was selling fast is in Dervish and Banges, where they sell replica flying broomsticks, a Nimbus 2001 selling for $250.00 and a Firebolt for $300.00!

The curse of all this is, already they are having problems with long lines inside these shops. Most are small and narrow, making long lines. Just think what it will be like once the normal crowds are let in!

However I’m sure they will add more shops, or add-on to some of them now that they see how popular the merchandise shops will be. Universal Studios is not going to make it hard for guest to buy their merchandise!

However they do seem to have underestimated how popular the Harry Potter merchandise shops are going to be. But, that’s what a soft opening is all about; finding and fixing problems before the grand opening, which is June 18th.

So if you want to buy Harry Potter merchandise when you go into The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, go to the shops as soon as you get in, or be prepared for a long wait!
