shocking tear universal monsters terrifying hi guys it is time for our weekly universal
studios update again everything has changed in a week so much new stuff is happening the universal
monster's trivia store is opening the turnaround time for that is insane they're setting up for
mardi gras Rock the universe is happening we'll talk about all of that they have the sign up for
rock the universe january 28th and 29th today's the 28th ooh it is a busy busy day uh there's
so many of these little like tour groups of all these teeny boppers so rock the universe it's like
a christian rock like the jesus rock bands coming in play and they bust in all these kids from all
over the country celebrate this now the problem with this is a bunch of like hormonal teenagers
unsupervised a fun little fact when it comes to rock the universe this is like the grotto down
there oh my god is that jason bourne oh no that's spongebob and patrick we had a little update about
the universal annual password buttons now they said they weren't going to be here this month now
strangely enough the hollywood universal studios annual pass holders are getting buttons this month
which i find is odd so i think maybe they'll come back here maybe it's just a supply issue
i'm hoping because i really want my little buttons to come back they've all these barricades up for
the giant rave that's going to happen tonight here so they have a pp bod performing tonight
don't know who that is now you can see they go all out these are like full-on stages not little
rinky-dink stages like full-on concert stages with lights and everything so i guess at seven
o'clock you can see peabod performing up there now the main stage they also have it set up this
is insane the production that they have going on for rocky universe by rip ride rocket you can buy
band merchandise uh caruso t-shirts rock and roll jewelry and then they also have autograph sessions
with the talent okay let's see what the rock the universe shirts that they have my lifeguard walks
on water mayo light shine for jesus spread it around so they have a light up bunny ears
and um glasses and hats fed up give god control he delivers all right well this is glow in the
dark may the lord be with you you have a catch up with jesus blessed from head to my toes
all right they've already started setting up for mardi gras to see the new designs
for all the booths that they've made they put the bloody mary sign on here going crazy
they are going all out with these boots look at all these gears that they've added they're all
like wooden gears i don't know what this booth is gonna be about but i'm loving that they're going
all out on all these designs all right now this food stand looks like a giant mardi gras float
do they have lights going on in the middle of that sunflower petal christian youth
leader lounge is in the foreign makeup show oh they switched out this poster they put my boy
eddie murphy the nutty professor now they actually used to have a nutty professor meet agreed
at universal studios hollywood now they're having two tribute stores open within a week
which is insane so the main mardi gras tribute store is going to be a float factory this will
i believe open to pass holders on february 3rd and then on february 4th is when mardi gras opens and
this will be up in everyone else oh what do we have right here is this the float factory
not yet but the other ones over here right now they're doing a refurb for the mummy right
so they still had the gift shop open sahara traders we were here literally a week ago
it was still open couple days later then they closed it and then now less than a week later
they have opened it to be a universal monsters tribute store which i'm really excited about
so i don't know what this is going to be let's go discover what they have replaced into air traders
they still have the stilt pharahs out right now they're always so terrifying of menacing
you're always menacing stay warm sounds like jesus rock rap going on over here
all right here we go shocking tear universal monsters
a tribute to the creatures of the night now it's now open it's a limited time retail store so it's
not gonna be around forever all right guys let's hear your best universal monster growl
i'm sorry i think there was something in my throat i'm terrified you don't seem more terrifying
this way time to go into sahara traders all right this is completely different
now they're playing all the like the universal monsters soundtrack so it's like screams and the
score that was played in the original movies but it feels like i'm in an aj gen house just without
scare actors i truly love what the creative team does with these tribute stores they're so
immersive it just brings so much more to just the gift shop so they have the invisible man over here
i don't remember him having hair though and it's like they have like this rustic backdrop
like a cathedral i think it's a rust might be blood and then over here the man the myth
the legend dracula now it's cool because like each little universal monster has their own
little like backdrop over here they're gonna have an artist you can pay for a caricature for like 25
now if you recognize this carriage right here it's from the halloween horror nights
tribute store from last year is going to carry they've added madame maleva fortune
teller and over here they have the wolf man they have scratch marks all over the wagon
terrifying now they have so many different things emerging here you can buy different types of
coffee they have the shrieking toad the highlander grog coffee shop of [ __ ] that's a great name now
it looks like each bag of coffee is 20 and then they have a new candle for magic candle company
it's gonna be dark cider spells now the candle kind of smells just kind of like a crisp granny
smith apple but with a hint of flair of fall now in this area it's a lot of the same merchandise
from the mummy gift shop that they had before so if you're still looking for that merch they still
have it the mummy universal studios now they're all just kind of very
90s i've never realized this they have a penny press machine over here for a dollar each they
have four different types of pennies i like the skeleton right here because it has a little like
safari cap on now then right over here they have the mummy now this is the mummy they used to have
here in the gift shop and the sarcophagus used to also be in the gift shop where you could buy the
ride photos so they just kind of combined the two i think it's pretty cool just like if you
do visit the shop just take your time and look at each one of the little skeletons because each one
has is very different and i feel like each one has their own story like this one has jewels
why do they have an eye patch on they have the jars up here which they would store the organs
after they were mummified now we're heading into the phantom of the opera area i love that each
little like area is like themed to the movie bazaar i love it is this trident from uh
poseidon's fury that they use i believe they used him in the mardi gras tribute store last year
but it's like they would watch of theater props they have a mirror does the piano work oh no they
stopped it so they have a creature from the black lagoon up there take your own photo op
here of dying in front of creature from black lagoon next to coffee you know because they
actually have burial ground coffee that you can have and then they also have zombie dirt coffee
mmm just what i want to drink early in the morning they have other candles here sierra sunset
it smells like caramel cinnamon with a hint of orange very odd and then they also have the
phantom chamber smells kind of like cleaning supplies now all these candles are 20
each now back in the day i used to skateboard yes but you can buy custom skateboard decks of
your favorite universal monsters so they have one of the bride of frankenstein the frankenstein's
monster up there giant frankenstein's monster oh see 125 isn't too bad if you're a universal
monsters fan this is gonna be your heaven they have all these t-shirts man dracula right there
frankenstein's monster they have a fortune teller over here i wonder what fortune she will tell
let's see my fortune said they do cash or card all right card approved let's see
it printed something oh just is that it said it she doesn't say anything that stinks well that was
the weakest fortune i've ever had told um pretty much just says soon cooperation at work or school
will pay off and be noticed by the right people okay well i guess if you enjoyed this video make
sure to hit that like button if you enjoyed it for that hard work they have this writer frankenstein
statue from the five and dime store they just kind of repurpose that the frankenstein's monster was
from the tribute store from two years ago that they have so i really like how they kind of like
reuse the props you can kind of be like oh i remember that from that place in that tribute
store but look at this like hand creeping out from where the character artist is now
they have a lot of the same t-shirt designs here that you can purchase that we went over last week
of the uh design from the universal tram tour of the universal monsters so again they have
frankenstein's monster the bride of frankenstein everybody's is this a mug shot of frankenstein
strange savage killer yeah it's uh it's frankenstein's blanket they have a little beanie
that you can purchase with frankenstein they have some cups with all the universal monsters
on it they have this wonderful dress with all the universal monsters they have these weird backpacks
they're like kind of like this plastic material in the shape of a coffin they have his and her
65 dollars they have every monster's favorite spooky treat a combo you can purchase little
ceramic mummies there for 25 and then they have chalices over there for your favorite i don't know
blood sacrifice or something and they still have these adorable little plushies from the mummy ride
of the caps now this is gonna be twenty dollars for this little guy so it's cool they still have
the mummy merch if you missed out on it you could still purchase here you guys should get keep this
for christmas revenge of the mummy the ride now they have the cat but they also have the dog
plush over here again twenty dollars for this guy i love that they have this like
string connected the ceiling as they've had to use a counterweight to open the sarcophagus
you can still purchase flavored crickets and little meal worms and they also brought over
these dough hoodies from the creature from the black lagoon that i went over last week
i just love the artists work that they did on all these movie posters for the monsters
it's kind of a little overview so this is where you used to exit the mummy ride you would go
down these stairs look at your photo and then exit out this way they have another universal monsters
t-shirt and this one i saw last week again i'm really tempted to get the this one black light
reflective so they have a whole keychain area where you can buy your very own crystal skull
see i was so hopeless all right we just finished the tribute store great creative team you did an
amazing job now it's gonna be around for a while once the mummy reopens late summer probably around
august or september i feel like then they're gonna close the hair trainers and kind of like
redo it i believe into fully mummy theme so for the next like what five months it's gonna be the
universals monster source so you don't have to rush out here immediately to go visit the store
but if you are in the area i think they did a wonderful job now the mardi gras tribute store
will be opening in a couple days so i'm excited to go see that before we go in tell us the story
all right so story is before margaritaville used to be um cheeseburgers in paradise he
said they had the best burgers in the entire world now his track record of the best food
we're gonna do a little wahoo wahoo's fish tacos that's where brent take me
a wahoo's fish tacos he said these are the best fish tacos you will ever have
six out of ten wouldn't get that one again i'm sorry brent it's not the best fish tacos i've
ever had my entire life it's gone downhill a little bit yeah it's not that great anymore
so he's here to redeem himself so we're gonna see how these burgers are you're such a critic
i'm gonna say you're gonna say it's seven out of seven point five out of ten i guarantee it seven
point five it could be the best burger and he'll stay 7.5 out of 10. all right we'll see i haven't
had margaritaville in years i have not enjoyed it the multiple times i've been here but uh we'll see
this entrance almost looks like you're going into the cantina or something here we go
is
now i'm confused on the layout of this place right so this is like we're on the water listening to
music with all the boats around but if we're on the water why are there islands up there
and the plane is flying over so we're in like some weird inception like smoosh land of water
all right brent does this look how you remembered it is now guys i got the southern burger stack
it's gonna be a beef patty pulled pork aged cheddar guava barbecue sauce onion rings
on a brioche bun we're gonna pull this little guy out hi brent this is the moment man
is this a good burger okay official review a lot better than the past couple times i've been here i
feel like if you are coming to the margaritaville here at citywalk you gotta go with a burger was it
the best burger i've ever had no that's a pretty decent burger i i think we'll do like a 7.5
you're such a critic you're gonna say it's seven out of seven point five out of ten
it was a quality patty it wasn't much seasoning or flavor to it
the pulled pork was just a little bit better than average and the onion rings and the barbecue sauce
it wasn't game changing it just it was just like a decent good burger the cheese was fine it was good
this wasn't great so we'll do a 7.5 now i think that sign is having a little trouble getting hard
sorry i had to say all right so we just popped in the legacy store on the way out
they have new shirts now this shirt so when steven spielberg was filming
the original jurassic park he wore like a dinosaur shirt with the same kind of design and now they
just replaced the dinosaur with bruised but i am digging this shirt down here you're gonna need
a bigger boat and then they have this one with a silhouette of bruce now guys we had one more
stop at city walk we had to stop by the gift shops because i could pick up the caricature from the uh
holiday tribute store of me now i'll be sending this out to one of you guys on patreon if you
don't know you can help fund these videos if you donate on patreon so one of you will be receiving
this um little beauty you can do whatever you want with it but uh had a lot of fun today
