Hello guys, and welcome back to Brick in It, the Universal
Studios podcast. I am Andy from Project
Universal. I'm joined here as usual with my
friends and colleagues. Lawrence from Universally
Bedford. Ah, the pause.
Yeah. And Mike from Universal Studios,
Great Britain. Updates Punchy as ever, but
excellent. Very much.
I will change the name at some point, but I'm not changing it
until Universal tell us what I need to change it to.
You may be waiting sometime. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I will.
It's Wednesday 28th of January 2026 and we are all still very
excited for the construction of Universal Studios.
UK. Which is, which is bubbling away
just a stone's throw from our top secret recording location.
And the Shed. The shed loads is going on, but
it's kind of a lot of trademark. More, more of the same.
The Shed trademark. Yeah, we should.
We should. Yeah, we should we.
Could let's let's do it. Let's do it like the field.
Oh, shit. Wow.
So we're gonna do the like we're
gonna one up the field TM, but we're the shed.
We've got heated shed light. We convert microphone, we
convert. Yeah.
I mean, they're not gonna be able to have the field for much
longer because the public footpath.
They're gonna have the public footpath, it's just not as.
Catchy. All this.
It's not the ex. Public footpath, exactly.
Yeah. The.
Fence the fence, the public footpath, then obviously at the
Stuart B end it basically goes from the road and then you're in
the field. Yeah, if you go from the Woburn
roadside, you've got other fields you have to walk over
before you get to Universal Land.
So what's what's going to? What's going to happen?
It's owned by someone completely
different. So yeah, but is it just going to
hit a wall or is it going to divert?
No, I think they're going to have to divert.
Well, eventually you'll they will put a path in.
They will not put a bridge going over the railway there.
That costs money. They'll they'll put a path in up
to Kempston Hardwick train station.
Yeah. And then you'll cross there,
right. So because the path will still
be over the fields. Yeah, it's all part of the
paving cycle way. Plan thing, isn't it?
Yeah. But I think they can't.
It's like one of those kind of going to be a, you know, bad
neighbor kind of situation where they're not going to take away a
public footpath without replacing it with I think, I
think they are legally obliged to replace.
They have to. Yeah, yeah.
So yeah, watch this space there's.
Going to be like 3 dog walkers who live in and around the area
who claim to walk their dogs over that field well.
Their business will be affected. And a fellow of a drone who
likes to walk up there occasionally.
Yeah, this guy. Yeah, that's where the first
time I ever came on your TikTok. Yeah.
Ticka Tucker channel Ticka Tucker.
Yeah. And I and I miked in whatever
you call it. Yeah, that was.
Right. I was stood on that concrete
bridge that goes over, do you know the over Elstow Brook, do
you know? What I mean, No I don't.
There's the Elstow Brook runs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, across the
land, yeah, like that. And there's a concrete bridge
there, and that goes. Over though, and actually, do
you know what you just want to see a, a kind of a, a historic
document from that exact moment. I can't remember exactly where
it is, but it it's on one of the university Bedford Channels
University. Bedford, tell us more.
Who's that? Yeah, it's it's sensational
social media platform where you can find sensational erratic
updates. But no, I have a photo that you
took of me with the drone and I was like, love that.
It was like such a bizarre like situation where I was talking to
you, threw a camera in the sky. It was, it was very sort of a
Big Brother really. It was, it was really weird
moment, but but yeah, it was good.
I remember the first time I ever went to meet Andy in the field.
Yeah. When the trenches were sort of
littered. Yes.
Amongst the, the the Stew. We got in a trench together,
didn't we? Did it was it was magical.
Magical. The Stew at the end, there was
loads of nettles blocking that public footpath.
So I was struggling to get through and I all I could hear
was your drum going. Over I was watching him say,
come on honestly, the number of times I've been down there and
I've I've heard a drone overhead really and I'm getting yeah, I'm
getting bugs always me. Most of the time it is usually
no, no, but like sometimes it's not but often I'll get a
WhatsApp message and it'll be like is that you?
Is that you? And then I'll just look up and
I'll go. Is that you?
I did that to I did that to wander in Northern a couple of
weeks ago and I sent him a text and said, is that you?
Because it was night time and I could see fashion lights right
above the concrete slab. And I said, is that your drone?
Yeah. But it it wasn't him.
I don't know. I don't know what it was.
It might have been a helicopter, you know, passing in the
distance or something. It was dark and I had had a
couple of beers. So yeah, you know, judging
distances wasn't really my skill.
Don't. Don't drink and drone.
No, no. Well, no, no, no.
I definitely wasn't droning. I was just probably walking the
dogs or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
And then saw what I believed was a drone.
Turned out to be an alien spacecraft.
UF. Yeah, Men in Black confirmed for
Universal students. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, they got the real deal. Yeah, they were flying the stuff
in, right? What have you guys got planned
for me tonight? Well, I, I, you know me
absolutely nothing. But I think, I think Mike might
have something up his up his sleeve.
I think he's about to. No, I'm not going to say screw
me. Oh, he's pointing.
Welcome to. Oh, that beats.
Yes, kicked in you. Want me to put it down now a
little bit? OK, my voice cannot.
We are here for the unnamed, currently Universal Studios UK
quiz. It's it's the inaugural edition.
So if you've been listening, it's supposed to give me a
little gap so I could put the music up like this.
I mean, never listen to radio before, but usually they control
and then I do that and then you do that.
Oh, no, no, no, no. Oh, the music's finished.
Finished. No, no, no.
Because there's a button here that says ducking.
Let's do hammering on, let's do it again.
Look back up, everyone back up. Let's start over.
Right, Ready. Are you ducking?
Oh, shit. Wrong button.
Start again. Ducking welcome everybody.
It's doing it. It's actually doing it.
Universal Studios UK Quiz. Nights I can't hear.
Yeah, I can't hear you even. I think.
I don't think the ducking worked.
No, I think it's just working just for me.
Yeah, it must be because. Because I couldn't hear a thing.
OK, so anyway, what are we doing?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll work on that.
Yeah. Yeah.
Next time, Universal Studios Nerd Quiz.
He's put a piece of paper in front of me.
I know that they're both doing this to screw me over because
they know I'm not a nerd. Yeah, exactly.
And if you've listened to the podcast since episode 1, you
will know that. Andy's strengths lie elsewhere.
Loris and I are the nerds. The dweebs, the geeks.
Yeah, whatever you want to call us.
Whilst I have a girlfriend with a wife.
Does your wife know about this? No, I have a wife.
Yeah, that's the one. My wife, a girl.
I have my own girl. I've got a girl.
Or indoors, say, or indoors, Right.
So yes, being the the the. Initiated theme park enthusiast
that Andy is not is not yet. We figured we would we would use
this opportunity to quiz each other or or I thought I would
quiz both Andy and Lawrence. We know who's going to win.
One's a nerd. 1 isn't.
But over the next five years during the construction of
Universal Studios UK. We want Andy to to become one of
us. Basically, Yeah.
And why not start with his current knowledge level and see
with this Universal Studios quiz how much he does or probably
does not know. I feel as though I'm being set
up. Here you are.
Well, it is. I mean, and, and what we're
going to be doing is we're going to be charting Andy's programs.
I'm a massive line line or pie. I know you, you feels like
you're a line chart. Line, line, line chart.
Yeah, yeah. We've got to see the programs
that see. Colton Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Results over time, yeah, Yeah, it does feel like you're on kind
of one of those on report at school.
Did you ever, did you ever have that?
Yeah, quite a lot of time on the board of school.
Right. But I'm not surprised.
But no, I mean, I've got to give it to Mike because what we have
in front of us, well, actually I'm going to give you the full
picture because we have an empty Tupperware, which did have in it
some absolutely spectacular homemade sausage rolls.
So Grace, if you're listening, thank you very much for them.
We really, really enjoyed them. And also 2 little kind of take
away boxes of homemade brownies. Yeah.
Which are triple chocolate. Yeah.
Chocolate orange, which very nice.
Anyway, Mike was shocked because I had sausage roll, then I had a
brownie, then I had another sausage roll, then I had a
brownie. It blew his mind.
Savory, sweet, savory sandwich. Yeah, yeah, that's kind of
what's wrong with that. It's just weird.
He's an animal. It's lovely, it's lovely.
But the thing that's kind of taken this up to another level
is we have in front of us pens and paper, but they're actually,
it's got my name. I want any cheating.
It's got my name on it. Yeah.
So it says Universal Studios nerd quiz Hyphen Lawrence.
Have I spelt it right? There's no you in there, is
there? No, no, no, no, no, no.
You spell it the correct. Way.
So I'm I'm you spelled mine the correct way as well, Andy.
So just I thought it was an I. Just wanted to.
Get that out there, that Andy Peters, right, OK, so.
Gordon the Gopher. Andy Peters, now that's Philip
Schofield, but we can't talk about him on this podcast,
right? OK, move on, move on, move on,
Mike. So tell us a little bit about
how this is going to work and how people can play along as
well. Of course, yes, if you want to
play along, please do grab a pen and or paper or preferably both,
because otherwise you won't be able to write anything down.
Or you could use your phone. But either way, please play
along and let us know your scores.
Let us know if you are better than the novice Andy or better
than nerd Lawrence. But well, before we go into
this, you've never been, have you Andy?
To a universal theme park. No, no, no.
Do you know what a Universal Studios is?
Not a clue. That's never heard, never even
heard of it. But you have been.
You know what a theme park is? You have been to theme parks of
Alton Towers, Thorpe Park, Disneyland Paris.
That's Parish Woodhills. And you used to work in one of
us, a couple of. Yeah, a couple of podcasts ago,
we discussed Yeah. And Lawrence, Yeah.
What are your nerd credentials? You said that the same time.
That was we do that a lot, don't we?
We do that sometimes we finish each other's questions.
Oh, God, that that did not work. No, no, Jesus, do we have the
No, I think the. Oh yeah.
Yeah, that's the one. That's the.
One really. It makes it funnier when it's on
time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, there's a. Sound effects episode of Brick
in It, the Universal Studios podcast.
Yes. So yeah, My, my, my I.
Don't know why. My fanaticism for theme parks,
theme park rides, all of that. It started in the early days of
the Internet. In the 90s.
Yes. Yeah, in the in the 90s.
So I come from a family who, who don't like theme parks.
Same. Yeah.
They don't get it. Filthy casuals, right.
They, they well, they, they, they, they just wouldn't be.
They just, they don't get it. They're not interested.
And yet there was something about it for me where I just
thought, this is mental. People are spending millions
upon millions of pounds building these structures, which are just
designed to terrify. I love that.
Or thrill or excite, whatever. So I got onto what was it?
It would have been like, Yeah, the OG roller coaster database
and all of those sorts of things.
Oh, nice. Yeah.
But most of my, like, most of my
theme park experiences growing up were school trips, right?
So I did. I did Disneyland Paris twice.
A school trip? Yeah, seriously.
French exchange. There's no reason to do it.
Oh. No, I never.
Did that. We didn't go there.
My son went to Disneyland last year maybe.
Yeah, middle class schooling. Well.
Although, no, we were lucky if we went to American adventure.
Oh. Wow.
Yeah, Yeah. But no, I mean, since then it's
just it's just sort of gathered pace and it's, it's just become
more and more ridiculous. And the, you know, the current
state of affairs is they're building a, you know, one of
those things that we love about two miles down the road.
No Spectacular, right? No, I know it's too.
Used to everyone from you. Yeah.
And I like us. Who lives on his doorstep.
No. Right.
Could you have imagined telling little little baby Lawrence no
that you are one day going to live very, very close were
Universal Studios Park? Genuinely, I if if you'd have
told me that, I thought that's interesting.
I'm going to live in Hollywood or Florida.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wonder what decisions, what
life choices I've made to either live in a swamp or, you know,
movie land. Didn't you move after the
announcement? Yeah.
Yeah, but you were still close to Dublin.
You couldn't. Yeah.
Couldn't you? I was.
I was very close to Bradley Wynn and who is in Flitic, That's
where I was. neighbor Bradley, neighbor Bradley, neighbor of
Bradley. Excellent guy, very regular.
With his and he kind of just funny hopped it and went good.
Yeah, couple of miles in the other.
Direction, but that was it. I was like, right now's the
time. Gotta do it.
Gotta do it before that SDO gets approved because otherwise it's
game over. Yeah.
So yeah, made the move. Now we're just like, yeah,
stone's throw. Not quite a stone's throw.
You have to. Like, yeah, you have to heave
artillery, right, Sorry. So that we we have we've got the
scenario set. So yeah, the way this is going
to go down is I have a list of 25 questions.
You're going to ask the question, I'm going to write
the. Answer.
Yeah, I'm going to ask the same question to you both.
You both write the answer down so you don't cheat and then we
will go through the answers. If he looks at my answer, I
don't feel like that is anyway a threat.
Go on. OK, wait.
Put me on brown. Just warm up the school.
Warm up my fingers. Shut up, tart.
Go on. It's.
Time to play the Universal Studios UK quiz.
Yeah, that's it. Ladies please.
Shirts back on. Oh, MM.
They love the quiz master. They love the quiz master.
OK, God. Right, OK.
Frowning. Go on there.
So we're gonna start easy with some questions that I hope you
at least get right. First of all, Andy, easy.
Let's write these down. Pens ready.
You've still not got your pens in your hands.
Oh God, yes, we're we're beginning to.

I can't see you get a. Cheat on my ass.
Can I start the quiz? Yeah, Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

Feels like a trick question to me as.
Well, I'm I'm like. I thought it couldn't be easier
and you're both like can you ask it again?
No, because it's like. No, because I feel like you said
it's stitching us both up. When when the answer's in the
question, you're like. The answer is The Fast and the

So here's one We're starting to get a little bit trickier now
for you. OK, I assume Lawrence, you'll
still be OK. Well, let's hope so.
No pressure. Do you know what of?
Everyone in the room, most of the pressure is on me here it is
because you've got you have set and the expectations for Andy to
be rock bottom. Whereas if you don't get 25 out
of 25, I know you're a I'm a fraud.
Yeah. You're no longer on the podcast.
Yeah. Alicia Stellar will be stepping
on fire for survival here, guys. Yeah.
You won't be a nerd anymore. You'll lose the title of nerd.
I will. I will take your your card.
I'll be an excerpt. Come on.
So #5 is alive. What colour are the minions?
You joined the quiz Addict. I could have stayed in bed.
How are you getting on at home I.
Don't want to talk about it and you did you have to use AI for
this. It may have helped.
Oh well, I may have done it myself.
I, I mean fully reliable. It's.
The easy round, you did validate it because I've tried asking
chat do quizzes for me and it's it's given me a whole load of
believe me, these questions. Yeah, it took you a long time.
It was yeah. I would have been quicker to do
them from Scrum. Right, right.
I know, but sometimes it's a city.
Write me 25 piss poor questions. Right, Right.
Sorry, Number six. So you're ready?
Go on. Yeah.
What? OK, this is 1 where I'm just
gonna start to think you're not. You're genuinely not.
I'm gonna start covering me answers now.
What is the name of the central hub that connects all the lands
in Epic Universe? Oh, I know this one.
Do you? Well, we talked.
About it last week on the part, didn't we?
Oh yeah, Alicia gave you the answers.
So were you listening to the goat?
When I was there, so yeah, I was listening.
He was there at Epic Universe. I was listening to Alicia when
we've recorded. Hey, he's moving the dream.
And the sip of my. Walls.
He's moving the wall of cans. Man, oh he has actually
genuinely covered the answers with his phone.
And he's covering his answers with, you know, he built the
wall. He's like built like a Trumpian
wall. Of empty tin cans, right?
OK. OK, we we are moving on to to a
slightly harder question. OK, this is where the nerd card
will will benefit you Lauren. Can I Google?
You this? No.
Which roller coaster manufacturer built Velossa
coaster? The Islands of Adventure.
We have mentioned them on the pod before.
Not necessarily this one. So you're just going to have to
take a stab in the door. That's exactly what I'm doing is
is everybody happy? Do you know what your stab in
the dark probably be right? Probably it's only No2
manufacturers. Well, you got one of.
The biggest, It's one of the biggest.
So #8 OK, which Universal park first opened?
Super Nintendo World, which was the first park to have it.
Obviously there are currently. Country or City 3.
There are currently three. Yeah, you can do the country or
city. No, do the at least the city,
because all right, the spelling must be part of that.
Yeah, not really. Spelling might be off.
OK, fair enough. So.
It was a bit, Yeah. It was a bit of a spoiler, Mike.
Yeah. Oh.
No, no, no. Are you happy with your
excellent hosting, Mike? I'm thinking about this.
I don't, yeah. It's not normal for the
contestants to deliberate with the host of a queen.
No, no, no, no, no. You're, you're very much
changing my answer. You're very much in the Chris
Tarrant mold. I'm clearly.
Would you like to ask the host? Why?
That's not a bad idea we could dial out.
Do you want we? Could dial out.
We could. We could a.
Friend. Yeah.
Who should the friend be, though?
Alicia back. Off.
Yeah, I'd like to call it Anisha.
I'm I'm a question two. I'm gonna start.
I'm starting to cover. I'm going to take you more
proactive protection on my question are.
We good. Are we ready for question 7?
Born ready. What?
Question 7.
Yeah, no, nine, I've skipped. I've written question seven,
question eight, question seven, question nine, question 10.
What? That's how you know, like the
Quiz MasterCard. I screwed up just like we're.
On question nine, OK, we're on question 9.
So I just asked, what about Nintendo, didn't I?
Yeah. Yeah, you did OK.
That's fine. I've skipped proper, screwed up
the number so. I will no longer say, do we have
the right number of questions here on our sheet.
We will find. Out.
OK, that'd be part of the fun. OK, all right #9.
SO, question. I'm not sure yet which Universal
Orlando park opened in 1999. Yeah, they are writing.
They are thinking. About it writing, Yeah.
It's good job you're talking at the same time it is.
It's good crime to have dead air, isn't it?
Yeah. How are you guys at home getting
on? Well, yeah.
Question nine. Yeah.
Question. 9 Send us tweets. So we're at 9, are we?
We are. Do we have a Twitter?
We do have a Twitter. Breaking it pod.
There you go.
Please follow along. Yes.
X Twitter. Twitter X Twitter.
Apparently they've stopped that whole grok thing now, so we
might not have it cancelled in. The what do you mean stop grok?
The whole bikini and not miners thing.
Have you not been following the? No, don't do it.
Let's move on, right? We don't need that on the
podcast. Please continue.
Yep. So Yep, which Universal Park is
home to Men in Black alien attack?
Which universal park? Yep.
I want the exact park handy please.
City will not do. I spoke about this couple of
weeks ago. Yeah, I know.
I know exactly. I'm just, I'm struggling at the
moment with the actual official name for it because I feel like
it's just a breeze, that one. I think you.
Whether you say one thing or another, if it's obvious what
you mean, OK, I'll give you the answer I've.
Been very clear in my answer about what I intend.
Because I imagine what you're, I can imagine the possibilities of
what you're. Yeah, because I think there is a
correct answer, but I I think the correct answer is not what
most people would call it. Yeah, right there.
It was called something Once Upon a time, which it is no
longer called I believe. Right.
Next question We good. Yep, we're good.
Which 2 lands are connected via the Hogwarts Express?
What could it? Be this is where I'm getting
screwed over. Well, yeah, but you, you would
just need a little bit of Fair Potterhead knowledge for that
one, yeah. Yeah.
Have you seen the film, Sandy? No, but this is not a question
for you. That's quite an achievement, to
be fair. What?
Never watched Harry Potter. Yeah.
I mean, it's. That is.
Yeah. Yeah.
I thought, you know what? It's been interesting.
No, to be fair, like that looks good if you listen to any of
those those new audio. Plays, they are very.
Good. They are sensational, man.
So they're like unaudible. They've basically done like a
it's like Harry Potter meets The Archers.
Right, that's actually a good way.
It is is Harry Potter meets The Archers and but it's done with
spatial audio. So if you're listening with like
headphones, you close your eyes. It's immersive.
It's like all around. It's honestly.
Yeah. So you've got a narrator.
Yeah. And then individual actors doing
every single character sound effects.
Sound effects. Yeah, it's great.
And I think the original that the new Hermione is doing,
Hermione, Mark Addy is Hagrid's. So it's a good good.
Good. You don't know Mark Addy.
Isn't like you, It's like it's Hugh Lorry in it.
I'm not, I'm not a Hugh Lorry is I like diggers.
Yeah, I've got. A feeling here saying it's
Dumbledore. Yeah, yeah.
Mark Addy from Game of Thrones. Gosh, shrugging at.
Me, I know what Game of Thrones is.
I haven't watched it. You're like character from Game
of Thrones, have I? Yeah.
I watched the smelly one. I watched The Walking Dead.
Does that help? He's not into about.
Did you ever see Trolleyed on Sky?
Did you see The Full Monty? No.
Have you seen films? Yeah.
Go on. I've seen.
Ghostbusters short circuit. No, not in that short.
Ghostbusters and Short Circuit, you'll go.
To have you seen a film there since the 80s?
Honey I Shook the Kids 80s Gremlins 80's The Running Man 8
Back to the Future 80s. I'm sensing a pattern.
Time con 80s question number. 12.
Let's move on. Next question we should do.
We should do a quiz. Wait for it.
Movies from the 80s I'd probably.
Be OK at that? I think so.
But just not good. But OK, we'll fill it in when
when there's nothing to talk about in the podcast.
We'll, yeah, we'll come up with in the summer and you can talk
to ChatGPT and get out of crap. Answers I'm not being the quiz
master. Every time you can.
Pull your leg out. Actually, I think you'd be an
excellent quiz master for movies from the 80s.
Yeah, because you're like, you're the definitive front of
knowledge, right? Yeah, do the Uno reverse card
and quiz us. Yeah.
OK, right. But now come up with.
It OK, Yeah. Do you want the next question?
Questions. Go through 12.
Which universal character hosts a dance party at the end of
their ride? Head scratcher, Dance party
ride. I'm trying to fill the air.
I'm trying to think of. And I'm just.
I've disappeared into my mind palace.
Sherlock over here. Yeah.
No, that's really. Annoying.
I mean, yeah, I'm going with that Character or characters.
Plural or single? We could go plural.
Yeah. Thank you.
Let's go plural Kremlins. That's Warner Brothers, OK.
Do you know what I'm? I'm really drawing a blank on
that and my. Pen side, put those binoculars
away. All right.
Are we ready for the next question?
Yeah, go on. What is the weenie at Universal
Islands of Adventure? And he's looking at me like,
what the F is a weenie? It is not a penis.
I'm just going. To say that I'm just going to
take a punt. I I I feel like there could be a
couple of correct answers for that.
Depending on there is one correct answer for.
That yeah, yeah, yeah. No, no, there is in the spirit
of the question, but if you were thinking literally of what a
weenie is like, 'cause there are multiple, oh, I so I think no,
in a hub and spoke park, you have one central weenie.
That is the one. He's destroying the.
Question The Islands of Adventure is a circular park
around a lagoon where you have plenty of weenies knocking about
the lake. There is no, there is a
definitive one. There is a definitive.
Now thinking you've put the wrong 1 based on what you're
saying to me now, no, I haven't put the wrong one.
We will have a discussion when we come to the answers.
I've put the correct answer, you put your correct answer.
Well, well, and if if that is what you have to say about it.
Then I don't think it's a very good question.
It's made a mockery. Mockery.
This entire. Go, go, go.
You're listening to Brick in It, the Universe Studios podcast
where we discussing weenies. Right, the weenie of the week
weenie. Of the week, right?
Next question, Don't know the number right?
Which which attraction replaced Twister?
Ride it out, Christ. Oh, Lawrence is having some sort
of existential crisis. Lawrence is broken, Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's still only on the medium
question. I know, I know, I know.
No, no, no. But these ones are.
I put the lid back on my pen. I don't think I don't need it
anymore. Have you not written anything
down? You have.
But this question is stupid. Just name any Universal movie.
Oh, man. That you haven't probably
already said OK. Can you think of any Universal
movies? Twister Gremlins.
Gremlins. It was filled in, filmed in
Courthouse Square. It must be universal.
No, it's the Warner Brothers. I feel like I'm wrong on this,
it's driving me nuts. Although actually, actually,
actually, I'll give you a clue. It's not a movie.
No, not a movie. It's just a character.
Technically no people people listening now are screaming at
their phones or. Are they though?
The mobile device, I don't know what they're listening to this
on they are they? Are are they?
They're screaming. They are screaming at you
specifically. Yeah, I feel like that.
Excuse me, I feel like I've netting myself down here while I
crack this. I have no idea, I'm just.
I'm just going to put an answer down and see if anything comes
back. An answer is better than no
answer. Of course it is.
Right. Next question Yeah, and this is
a it's got broad answer. So I will accept any one of
these name anyone attraction in how to train your dragon Isle of
Berk. That's the land Andy based on
how to train your dragon in Epic Universe.
I'd have watched the film, didn't I?
Watched the documentary. So we should know this.
They talk about it because I remember there's something that
you pat on its head. That's not a ride though, is it?
No, no, no. It's any attraction.
It's a thing, and it moves. And you can pat it.
Yeah. Toothless.
There's a thing that moves that you can pat.
Toothless. Toothless.
Is that a question coming up? That's no, that's not a
technique. That's a meet and greet.
Yeah. This doesn't.
I don't think there are four attractions in that area.
OK, I'm just going to come up, make something up 4.
All right. Right.
We are now moving on to the hard questions.
Oh really? You thought it was already on
them. I was starting.
I'm starting to sweat already. I can see it, yeah.
So how many inversions are there on the Incredible Hulk roller
coaster? Islands of Adventure?
I imagine now Lawrence is playing APOV in his mind Andy
has just said a random number. Exactly.
I am I. Fucking clue.
That's the benefit of being an idiot.
I think I'm right with this, but like The thing is because it it
sometimes in my mind it because of the type of coaster it is, I
get it sometimes in my mind confused with another coaster
geographically not far from it. Which number?
Yeah, like in terms of not, not because like the layout's
similar, but the numbers. I I have a feeling they've got
the same amount have conversions.
I think so. Yeah.
All right. Well, let's see.
We, we will find out, Yeah, I'm assuming if we are wrong on that
front, people will. Please do harangue us.
Where are we now? This is question #17 yes.
So which attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood features King
Kong 360? That site, ladies and gentlemen,
was. It Andy see that one's all
right, because that's my favorite ride in the whole wide
world is. It is.
It just say it once more. Which attraction at Universal
Studios Hollywood features King Kong 360?
Yeah, I've still got no idea. I love it because it's it has
got some absolute garbage. It's it's like 10 writes in one.
It's it is. Is that there's your clue.
There's a big clue, mate. It's a yeah.
I'm not going to, I'm not going to say any more.
It's right. Have you?
Oh, no, he's still writing. He's written words written.
Words are. You happy with those words?
It's the best I can do, right? Next question.
You're just being unfair now. We've never been to any of.
These places and he is just moment by moment, slowly
checking out. He's looking at his watch.
I keep getting a waft of these chocolate.
Brownies of 1. And it's too late.
The brain it's too late for. Sugar.
It's in the evening. It's too late for sugar.
No, no, I mean I can counteract it with alcohol, but.
Exactly. We've got chocolate orange and
triple chocolate. Yeah, the.
Triple orange is lovely. I'm a big fan of white
chocolate. I love white chocolate.
I can. See, there's a big pair of white
chocolate looking at me right there.
Can't be dealing with it. No no, I like it.
Chocolate bans as well. I love chocolate bans.
A Milky Way. A Milky Way or a Milky Bar?
Milky Way Milky bars or no Milky barbell, Yeah.
Which is the one that the a kid with the horse?
Milky, Milky. Bark Milky bar kid.
Milky bars are on me, totally alienating anyone from outside
of the UK now. Do you not think they did that
in America? But they have a cowboy.
It must be. That's true.
Let us know in the comments, yeah.
Do you have Milky bars in the UK and are the Milky bars?
On in the USA. In the US, say did I say UK?
I did. They do in the UK.
I know that because I live here, yeah.
Yeah, they do do them. We see them in the shops.
We do, yeah. I mean I let that is literally
Milky Bar in there. Is it?
Oh, there you go. See, we we have living proof of
it, its existence not 18 inches from my face.
It was the only white chocolate we could get in the shop.
We're we're digressing now. We are doing.
We are. Yeah.
Question 18. I feel the song coming on, only
the crumbly is flaky is chocolate.
Anyway, we digress. We do.
What's that from? Flake.
Yeah. Tastes like chocolate.
Never tasted before. Have you ever done the Cadbury's
tour in Birmingham? So good.
Merlin. Now?
I've not been. I've not done it since Merlin
took over. A Flake?
A ripple? No.
Or a twirl. Yeah.
Which one do you go for? Yeah.
Well, the twirl is just a flake. With a crust.
Yeah, Which is why it wins, because less wastage.
Yeah, but I think that a flake might be Dairy Milk.
But I don't think a 12 is quite Dairy Milk, though it's still
Cadbury chocolate. But is it Dairy Milk chocolate?
Because obviously that's their flagship.
Creamiest. Nobody knows.
Interesting. I But I know which is last, and
that's Ripple, because Galaxy's the worst.
You don't like Galaxy? I finished a bar Galaxy off
today. Did you?
Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, I had a big one for Christmas.
Oh, you ate the whole thing today?
And it used to be a kilogram of Dairy Milk.
It's about 850 grams now. It's what?
One of them. Start cursive.
Start next. I love Dairy Milk.
Dairy Milk is the is the best. Yeah, none of that American
trash. They don't know how to make
chocolate in America. Hershey's book.
Yeah, it tastes crap, doesn't it?
What's it doing with it? Have you ever tried that?
Tony's chocolate only. Yeah, no, it's too expensive for
me. Do you know it's actually called
chocolate Lonely? It's like, yeah.
Chocolatey #50 Everyone thinks it's chocolatey.
Yeah, because they don't want, they don't want to sound like
they're being sad, but it's chocolate lonely.
It is. Yeah, it's too.
Expensive. And do you know why?
It's it's a, the whole thing is like a social commentary thing.
It's all about how this is not very uplifting actually.
So let's change that. Right, OK.
Having questions? It's a chocolate bar for lonely
people. No, it's about basically the
Coco trade. Not very.
All right, let's move on. We have gone on to some very,
very depressing tangents. Yeah.
On this podcast, let's do a question.
We're trying to have a fun quiz. Yeah.
Do a question, a question right next.
Next question. Who is the owner of the Drive In
restaurant you'll find at most Universal Studios resorts.
I am looking for the first name. Well, I'm glad I don't know a
second. I want their middle name, yeah.
Their date of birth? Yeah, their National Insurance
number. Andy is rocking back in court.
He's literally I've got no. Idea he's rocking who?
Who? Owns.
Would you like the question again?
Would that help? No, no, I know the question.
Who owns the drivers? The driving diner.
They change the name every Halloween Horror Nights to say
Die in which is chef's kiss. Yeah, yeah.
Well, I don't know, just. Gonna just name a name.
Mike. All right, I've wrote that down.
That's good. Next question?
Yep. What ride system does Harry
Potter and the Forbidden Journey use?
Can you forgive my spelling here?
Yes, thank you. As long as it's within the
ballpark of correctage. Well, my pronunciation will
hopefully be correct because my spelling will be.
I don't, I don't have no idea. If you'd love this, you'd
absolutely love this because like as a piece of engineering,
as a piece of engineering, like this would be like, you'd be
like, Oh my God, they took something from there and they
strapped people to it and turned it into a ride.
It's not. It's what?
You call that I'm not gonna. Turn it.
Grossly underutilized piece of theme park technology as.
Well, well, although like every time it's been implemented, not
only has it been super reliable, it's been really effective and
it's got unbelievable throughput.
It's like it's. It's an Omni mover, but it's a
thrill ride at the same time. It's crazy sensational, man.
It's great. It's great.
Yeah. So right.
Well, we are still on the hard questions.
The next question. Where do we go from here?
Very hard. Is there like?
There is a very hard. Session.
It's like a psycho section. Oh.
Geez, we've got two more of the hearts.
Oh, right, that's what she said. Which TV studio produced movies
and TV shows and offered studio tours as an attraction at
Universal Studios Florida? Sorry, could you repeat that?
It's quite a long question. It was a very long question.
There's a lot going on here. It's a lot, yeah.
Which TV studio produced movies and TV shows and offered studio
tours as an attraction at Universal Studios Florida I it's
became to give you a clue, it became, I believe the Blue Man
Group Theater until they were turfed out and went to Icon
Park. I'm almost certain I've got that
one. You'll kick yourself because as
the the pathetic millennials that we are, you will kick
yourself because well, I, I will go into, I will go into that
when I do the will I kick myself?
You may do, you may do really depends.
It depends, SpongeBob, depends how cool you were as a kid.
So next question, The last from the hard category.
Oh my God, which Universal Park is the only one to feature a
Jaws attraction that still exists today?
You shouldn't know this one, Andy.
And this is a permanent attraction, I should say, not
part of another attraction. Yeah.
OK. Yep.
Like standalone, standalone attraction.
Gotcha. Right.
Are we all good? Are we ready for the very hard
questions? Yeah, man.
Final 5 I assume you've still got 5 slots left?
Yep, A. Little bit no, I've got 4.
I have screwed up. Can you write a 26?
I'll put. 26 A 25-B Yeah. So it's been built in the back
garden of #25 so OK. What islands of adventure land

glory of their Yeah, the previous incarnations.
OK. This is well out of my yeah.
But we will. We will teach you.
This is the point of this quiz. Is can't wait, we will find.
Well, we'll. Find your base knowledge and
then we will. But this is it.
This is this. Is a like a Yeah, What what what
do you? Call that like when, you know,
when you kind of like set in the baseline, set the baseline,
exactly set in the baseline. In five years, I'll have my GCSE
in in nerdism. Nerdism.
Yeah. We will teach you 22 I.
Don't but like you won't even realise you're learning.

make it tricky for you, Lawrence.
All right, because I wouldn't have known the answer to this
one. I had to look it up.
Which manufacturer built Space Fantasy at Universal Studios
Japan? Yeah, that was a that was an
interesting noise. That was your thinking noise.
Shall I? Space Fantasy is a roller
coaster. Yeah, that helps.
Yeah. Yeah.
It's it's like a it's like a space mountain on LSD situation.
I believe at the moment it's got VR.
It's got like that. It's got a new overlay every
like 6 months. It's, I think nuts.
Yeah, it's nuts. Oh man.
Well, I've locked in my answer. What you waiting for so?
I'm going to think undecided. That is, that is.
Winding me up, man. OK.
Oh, I don't think it's that, but I'm gonna have to go for it.
You're locked in. I'm locked in.
Although now, now Andy can see my answers at the top.
Because you're right, giving up. Andy is, well, I think the top
ones we we know. Yeah, we know.
Yeah. We hope so, hopefully.
Yeah. Oh, shoot.
Right. Next question, What's right did
Revenge of the Mummy replace at Universal Orlando?
Oh God, what right did Revenge of the Mummy replace?
Saying it twice makes no difference.
Us fill in the dead air, Andy. OK then.
Well, whilst Lawrence is finished thinking, not finished,
I think it's a good time to mention Project Universal, the
number one you. Yeah, we haven't mentioned it
yet. Actually, that's out there.

Great Britain updates if you. Want to be serious and boring?
Follow them. But if you want to be fun, super
cool, hip and trend carefree, fancy free.
Are we locked in? No, I can't think of the answer
to that. I wouldn't worry about it.

A fake, a fake name, fake name. All good.
Yeah. Next question.
Yeah. 2 less. Go on. 2GO on which Universal
Studios theme park? Yeah, is home to the Battlestar
Galactica dueling roller coasters.

pockets it's white or black nerd.
I'll either know everything or nothing are.

Who built the right system? Yeah, really A name?
I can do that. Well, it's very hard category.
It may be wrong, but I just did I like yeah.
How are you guys doing at home? Don't forget.
Yeah, well, of course. I mean, like now we've we've
like reached the end the, the, the, the, the finale of the
quiz. Yeah, 20.
Six, that's a strange number, but yeah, that obviously we
can't all count like no, 24 is my limit.
And I obviously about about I like actually how you've got
like easy, medium, hard. I didn't see anything.
So we didn't get, you didn't do a 26, but you did 2 sevens.
Yeah. That's why I've got Yeah, I, I.

that that could be the answer. I thought it was a totally
thought it was a trick. It's a stupid.

Yes. Wow.
Love it. We're gonna have to move these
buttons further away. I'm genuinely impressed.
I know this. Is decent and I'm proud.
Of you, I know. The thing is, now you're setting
yourself are too high baseline. I did good.
There's a risk you might now go down before you go back.
Up. Trust me, you're soon going to
overtake. OK, go on.
So which Universal Park is home to Men in black?
Alien attack. I just put Universal Studios
Orlando. Yes.
Is it? It's universal, Yes, Universal.
What did you put? I put Universal Studios Florida
because in my mind that's what it.
Was you're allowed, you know, because it was called, you know,

I just put land A and land B. Yeah.
I mean, it's Yeah, yeah, yeah. However and land B guess.

Oh, that'll do. I have to cross that off then.
Diagonally and Hulk. Hogsmeade.
Yes, Hogsmeade.
Hogsmeade. Yeah.
So it's the This is the first one you haven't got right.
This is where I'm starting to get into real shaky territory
though. Some of these answers you're
looking at, I'm like, they're wrong.
Yeah, it's about here. I gave up and just started
writing random shit down. Well, This is why I can't wait
to hear it. It's taking part.
Just remember that. Yeah.
It's not though, is it? No, no, no, I will.
Chastise. I will chastise both of you if
you get any wrong. OK, so which universal
characters host a dance party at the end of their ride?
Minions. What?
Minions. Yes.
Yes, it is minions.
Well, I think to myself, who the hell darts?
The only person I can think of would darts would be a minion.
Which is why I said to you, is it a singular applause?
That I figured that's what you were thinking, I thought.
That was hey, yeah, well, you're like 11 for 12 right now, man.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, considering I know fuck all about universals.
That's pretty good, yeah. I started too easy for.
Me, this is we're we're at weenie now, aren't we?
Yeah, so, OK. What's the weenie?
Let's we're going to start an argument now, aren't we,
Lawrence? What's the weenie of Islands of
Adventure? I put, can I say mine?
You can say I just put Cafe. I didn't know.
I just thought maybe it's OK. OK, the the what?
Is a weenie, though that's that's a good thing.
Dictionary definition a Walt Disney definition so he he so
the origins of it are a weenie from a weenie, not a hot dog no.
So the hot dog so it's a Cafe no because at the at the fair they
used to have an enormous like thing of a hot dog above the hot
dog stand so everyone around it got a bit hungry their goat head
for the hot dog. So he would create something in
his parks which would be like an icon that people could use to
locate themselves around, like the park, right?
So you. Would say I'm at the weenie so.
The castle in a Magic Kingdom park is the Weenie.
The Weenie. OK, spaceship Earth.
There's three alive. Yeah, double checking.
It's definitely not a cafe. Yeah, in any sense.
Another word No. No, no.
What about if you wanted to meet at the cafe and you said I'm at
the the weenie, well, you'd just say that would be just a sausage
stand. But this is where could so but
but Universal Parks. Are a little different so Disney
parks have the weenie philosophy where they're normally there's
kind of there's a there's a one bigger weenie right and it's
normally right in the middle universal parks, they like to
have little sub weenies, sub weenies.
They have sub weenies. So like, for example, in the
land of Burke thing, right, it's the meat hall, right that that
orients you within that land. It's not the park Sweeney.
What would be the park Sweeney for select for epic the.
Kronos. The Kronos, Yeah.
So what is it then for the for Onsen Venture?
It's a lighthouse. It is the lighthouse.
Thank you very much so. What?
What were you kicking? Off about.
So are we saying why? Are you arguing with me for
nothing? I'll tell you why I'm arguing,
ma'am, because I don't know, actually.
So in local terms it might be the point, no, but the point at
Milton Keynes. That's Milton Keynes is weenie,
is the point. The theme park of Milton Keynes.
They think it's using Milton Keynes.
You'd say. I'll meet you at the point.
Ish. It's more of a theme park
specific term. You see, I, I, I, I think like.
So for Epcot, spacer is both weenie and icon, right?
And I think those two are different things.
I think I like I was with where you were going with the
lighthouse thing. I think that's the icon.
I think the weenie of the park, like the weenie to me, it's like
what? Like if you're there and you
kind of going like, where the hell am I?
Like you're looking around, you're going right.
OK, The Incredible Hulk's over there.
The Incredible Hulk is not the weenie of that park.
No, but it's also the massive thing that you use.
It's like you're your compass point, right?
Which is the spiritual intention of the weenie, right?
Anyway, too much. Yeah.
Next question, a few. Let me know what you think in
the comments. Yeah, right #14 this is where I
was on very rocky ground. Oh, OK.
Where are we? Oh, next page.
That's why I can't find it. Yeah.
So which attraction replaced Twister?
No, I don't write this out. No, I don't I.
Don't put a Hulk. I have no idea.
No, I haven't got any. Yeah.
Have you not put anything, Lawrence?
I put Fallon because I didn't have any ideas.
That's the right answer. Spectacular.
What? The Jimmy Fallon ride?
What's it called? Racery.
New York. Jimmy Fallon.
It's a terrible. I hate that.
Have you done it? No, no.
Well, go excited. And I thought, isn't he?
What is that? Yeah, he's like the Jonathan
Ross of America. And you're like, it's a great.
So they made a ride out of that, yes.
Right. Well, I must have had not.
Much on that's, that's slim pickings, isn't it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's really scratching.
The the the ride it well, ride the show it replaced Twister was
great. Did you ever do that?
Yeah. Practical show effects.
And there's a cow flew in front of you.
And there was. There is a wait, wait a minute.
Yeah, there is a an amazing book, which I think it's called
like Disney versus Universal, something very original like
that. And during that they basically
talk about how that the the moment when Universal moved over
to to to Florida and they talk about the development of that
attraction in so much detail. It was so complicated because
they basically had a warehouse and they had, I can't remember
how many fans, but it's literally like 50 fans.
And they created a twister inside the building.
Wow. This is called Tornado.
Yeah, in there with. And they just chucked in loads
of fog and you could see this thing.
It was stunning, Like fantastic. Yeah.
Yeah, really. They don't do rides like that.
Well, they they did the the, the one in Beijing, they opened like
a stunt show or. Something.
Yeah, yeah, that yeah, it was like the like it had Spielberg
in it. That's right of.
Course you do. It's called Universal versus
Disney. It's a very snappy title, but
it's by Sam Genaway. But it's it's a great listen
audio book. Check it out.
All right, anyway, I just. Realized that my YouTube counter
is 7890. It's.
Going up. That's it.
No, no, I'm just saying 789. Zero, I'm sure.
It was 7880. Well, it's sequential maybe, I
don't know, I don't watch it anymore.
Yeah, 789. Yeah, because it's so fast I
don't even care anymore. Right, Right.
Question 15. Right.
Name anyone? Attraction.
Sorry, Mike. For God's sake, Andy, that was.
Rude, right? OK.
Here we go.
Anyone attraction in How to train your dragon Isle of Book?
Yeah. I just put Dragonflight.
It's not bad guess, but it's wrong.
I mean, it's a good educated yes, I've got hiccups.
Wing gliders, yes. I would have accepted that's
what I meant. I would have accepted hiccups
wing gliders. Buy a drill dragon race of rally
untrainable dragon. I recommend you going to see
Untrainable Dragon because your kiddos will bloody love it.
Yeah, if if we take the kids, they're going to go nuts.
I'm starting to lag behind. Her we're only just about to get
to the hard question. Go on then, think of everyone.
Keep it going, keep it going, keep it going.
I have a. Point in my life, yeah.
How many versions are there on the incredible hulker islands of
Adventure? I feel like I got this one
wrong. I feel like I plucked a number
out the sky and it was 6. 7 And the points go to Lawrence.
You were very close. One year away as a good guess.
Well done. I'm proud of you.
Oh. Thank you.
Yeah. Be anymore patronizing.
Yeah. I mean, I think you.
Could after the sausage rolls. That is the main reason why
you're allowed to come back. Oh God.
Okay, Grace, if you wouldn't mind putting the oven on when I
get in right next one what? What attraction at Universal
Studios Hollywood features King Kong 3?
60 Julio Tour, Yeah. Baby yes as.
Soon as you said multiple, I thought there's only one ride in
the world that can genuinely entertain you for 40 to 60
minutes because it could be anywhere between those and it
just is so good. It's a beast of a.
Ride it's it's ridiculous. Would you?
Would you class it as a ride? You have to.
I get you are sitting in a seat and you're moving around, so
yeah, I. Guess and it's got like, I mean,
this is the thing it's like I remember because I have this
argument quite a lot with people and and sometimes we say but
like because she'll go Oh yeah, do you remember Jaws?
It's like yeah, still part of Hollywood.
Yeah, she's like yeah, Kong yes, that's, that's also on the
studio tour and it's yeah, this is on the Oh, and by the way,
you also get to see like the real Bates Motel and you get
like, you get to see like the real Courthouse Square and you
get to like all of that stuff. Plus you go on like 7 or 8 rides
which were hour long waits in themselves in Orlando.
You're like, mate, I've got 8 rides done and I've seen some
history in one hour. I.
Didn't have to stand up once, yeah.
And also the cue for it is like barely anything that's.
Because the vehicles are like 200 people or.
Something they just constantly laughing like the capacity on
that thing is nuts. Anyway, greatest ride of all
time. Really.
Is that your number one? Here's my number one.
Well, let's not go into detail on that.
Just OK, now that would be a Really.
Good future episode. Well, future episode, so I went.
On the duck once at Wickstead Park when I was a little boy.
The duck, the duck, the duck, the army duck.
See. Amphibian truck.
Oh, I didn't know they had one there.
No, I did. It they did back in the really.
Yeah, yeah. The drive into Wickstead Lake,
yeah. Do a little sort of.
I don't think he did a lap. Yeah.
Down 1.
You can still see the ramps. If you look at the lake, you can
see the ramp. They've got land across and back
up the other. I think health and safety killed
it off. I did that.
I once wanted did one of them in the Thames.
In the Thames. In the Thames.
Yeah. Back in the war.
Right. OK and right.
OK. Come in. 18 next.
I know that's the wrong one. Sorry.
Hang on. Thank you, Mark.
Yeah. Yeah.
You know what it was worth? It was worth it.
The time it does make. It we're getting, we're getting
there so. Yeah, it is.
So who is the owner of the Drive in restaurant you'll find in
most universal resorts? Andy.
I just put Bubba. It's a good shell.
That's a good shell. They do have Bubba.
Gump shrimp. That's that's so it's not
terrible. Yeah, it's educated.
Honestly, like I, I'm not going to knock that because that's,
that's solid, Mel. It Yeah, it is Mel.
Yeah. Like, so, yeah, Bubba is a good
guess, but ultimately wrong. But Mel.
Yeah. Smell, smell.
Smell now this This next one, when Andy knows the answer to it
is going to take up the next two hours of his YouTube viewing
time. Really.
Yeah, because this honestly, I'm going to have to look it up.
The engineering of this is going to you're going to be like, it's
unbelievable. What's the question first,
right. So what right system does Harry
Potter and the Forbidden journey use?
The answer you gave, Andy, is I'll just put trackless.
It has a track. It has a track.
It's a Kukoran. It is a Kukoran.
Which is, so, you know, sounds like a.
You know, robots them all Australian marsupial.
So, you know, you know, those like robots that they use to
build cars that are like a big arm on a on a like a pivot and
they do all of that. They strapped seats to the end
of those and that's what it is. Oh wow, yeah.
And it just throws you around. Yeah, it's actually that
technology. It makes you look at what it
wants you to look at. So one moment you're looking at
a dragon and then you're in a screen, and then you look in go
through a bridge. And whilst the whole thing's
moving around on a track, yeah. Honestly.
And it never once stopped. And this is a breakdown.
It never once stops. So you're always moving.
Yeah, called, it's called an Omni mover.
That should have been a question.
Omni Mover. Omni Mover, Yeah.
So it wasn't a trackless. It has a track, yeah.
Right. Click around I I appreciate your
love that. You didn't just put like.
Malcolm or something? No.
No, I mean like again, you know it's a decent educated guess,
right? Come on.
Yeah. 20, right, 20, Where are we?
Oh, good Lord. OK.
Oh, this one's the one that you're going to kick yourself.
You're going to kick. Yourself am I?
So which TV studio produced movies and TV shows and offered
studio tours as an attraction at Universal Studios Florida?
So the Universal Studios Florida part of that was a small clue
because it's no longer there. What are your answers, Andy?
I just put question mark, question mark, I have no idea,
but thinking about it now, I'm thinking maybe Universal
Pictures or something like that. So as a kid, did you ever watch
Keenan and Kel? Is it the fellow who loved
orange soda? Yes.
So at the end they were like, and Nicole was recorded in front
of a live studio and then said Universal Studios Florida.
Oh, was it? So there was it was Nickelodeon
Studios. I put Nickelodeon.
What did you? Say, I said Nickelodeon.
Look at my look at my piece of paper.
What did you tell me? I said Nickelodeon.
Did you? Yeah.
I'm sorry. Yeah.
Sensational. I thought you said you didn't
know. No, I said Nickelodeon for you.
I said Nickelodeon, man. That's not, that's me not.
Listening. That's decent though, isn't it?
Yeah, what a great guess. That was a good guess.
I thought that the dejection in your voice suggested that.
I, I I. Given up.
Well done. Really well done.
No, I I feel dejected if I'm less than less than 100%
certain. And that I did not feel any sort
of certainty about at all. We got it.
Yeah. I mean, remarkable, right?
Anyway. Next one So which Universal Park
is the only one to feature a permanent Jaws attraction?
I put Tokyo, but again, I mean Japan.
You meant Japan? Yeah, it's good enough.
Yeah, you can both have that one.
Yeah, Marvelous. We're on to the very hard
questions. The last category, So what?
Universal Studios are different categories.
You never told us any category names.
I could have got them all if I'd literally just.
I went through saying it was hard and very hard.
It's not a Cadbury though, is it?
It's a very hard category. It's So what Islands of
Adventureland was cannibalised by the Wizarding World of Harry
Potter? Hogsmeade.
I put not a clue. Although it could say not a
Cher. I can't really understand What?
It wasn't a clue. No, I I realised I got this
wrong after I'd written it down. Oh, yeah.
But every single one you've got wrong so far.
Turns out it was bloody right. This.
No, this is wrong. Go on, tell us what you because
I wrote Los constant down. That's the right answer.
It's the right. Answer.
Yeah, yeah. Is it though?
Yeah. So it it there was part of it
called Merlin Wood, which it did also, but it was still part.
Of that's what I thought it was. Oh, that was part of Lost.
Concept I believe correct, correct me if I'm wrong.
I will take. The pains me.
Ridiculous. No, because I no, because I
wrote that and I was like, no, it was.
And I couldn't remember what it was called.
But yeah, Merlin wood was the thing I was thinking of.
That's what. Jordan Dragon mythos was
originally in Merlin Wood I believe.
Oh, I believe. OK, OK, I'm.
Not 100%. Wow.
All right, 23. Next one.
So which manufacturer built space fantasy?
Horrible. University knows Japan.
Horrible question. Japan.
Yeah, Go on, Indy. I put aerodynamics, but I think
that's way too old. Yeah, it was ever long gone.
Yeah, I put Fukima. It's a spinning coaster.
Mac. It is Mac shit.
Yeah, I believe it's a. Spinning.
Can you even get that one right? No.
Can you give me a whack? Whack.
I haven't got a whack, I've got a.
So do you do have a that one? That's the one I was looking.
For but it's called trombone on it I'm gonna.
Have to change it to whack, whack, whack.
Yeah, next one. Fair enough.
Yeah, go on then. Right, So what ride did Revenge
of the Mummy replace at Universal Orlando?
Question marks, I don't know. I'm pretty sure I got this one
wrong, yeah. Genuine.
We'll see Earthquake. No, no, I'm afraid not.
What? What?
So yeah, the earthquake was replaced by Fast and Furious.
So Revenge of the Mummy actually replaced confrontation and fun
fact, yeah, it was a a suspended ride and these the track is
still there to this day. Is it because it's structurally
integral to the building? Again, I'd recommend that audio
book's got a fantastic little section about how they made that
ride and how much of an absolute pain in the arse it was.
Well, yeah, it sounds it. If they're going to for some
reason do that, Yeah. But there we go.
Yeah. Oh, amazing. 1 ultimate
question. Good question, Good question.
Which Universal Studios Park is home to?
Battlestar Galactica? The Julian roller coasters
that's spelt Hollywood? Nope.
Singapore Singapore on the island of Santosa.
It's a very, very small park, but yeah, didn't.
Even know there was one there looks really good.
There is there's a Jurassic Park Rapids ride which is nowhere
else nuts. It's like a vertical lift hill
which lifts you towards AT Rex which is like biting down.
It looks pretty spectacular. Like honestly, that that yeah,
it looks, looks cool, I think. They're building Nintendo right
now. Are they?
They'll be the 4th Nintendo. Oh, wow.
OK, yeah, yeah, I mean like that.
That is a bit of an odd. It's a bit of an odd park is.
That what does it get? A bit of saga.
In there or someone else got that?
I actually. Don't know, it's all Nintendo.
Nintendo won't it? They do saga.
They could have a Sonic world or something.
Sonic Sonic was at Alton Towns for a while.
Like, yeah, it was Sonic spinball.
And they do you remember Toyland Tours?
It was a song section. Do you remember Toyland Tours?
Yeah. Andy.
Wow. Wasn't, wasn't Spinball Whizzers
a Sonic? That yeah, at one point it was
for five or six years, it was Sonic.
Yeah, great. I love that.
Love Spinball Wither. It's a brilliant ride.
You like that? I just love it.
It's a ulzer and a roller coaster.
Yeah, it is. It is.
I love AI. Love a waltzer?
Well, maybe the. Very first ride ever went on,
was a waltzer. You can remember that?
Yeah, Blimey. Are you really getting to ride
still? There's probably 12.
Woltser is the ride most guaranteed to make me vomit.
It's the fact that there there is someone stood there literally
hurling you around. Like scream if you want to go
fast. Yeah, yeah.
I mean, it's like and they they look like when you get on the
people running the waltzers, they're kind of like dead behind
the eyes. And yet when?
You'd be two of you were spinning people around.
When it starts and if you don't start a couple of.
Pretty girls, you ain't getting spun.
But like, but if they're on it, and then they start spinning
you, they start spinning you. And as they start spinning you
faster and faster, you can see they become more alive behind
the eyes. It's like that they found their
their reason to live. That's their calling.
Yeah. And and and it it makes me sick.
Yeah, I get it. Yeah, I get it.
Both their attitude and the process.
Right, right. 26 The last question, the bonus question,
The accidental bonus question, Yeah.
So which manufacturer built Harry Potter and the Battle at
the Ministry? Aerodynamics again.
It's the only American. I know they're defunct now, but
it's the only American. Yeah.
It's not no, it's definitely not Arrow.
No, I, I, I genuinely don't know.
Like I, I've like, I know it was basically custom build and
there's a lot of stuff on there that's like inspired by like
drilling tech. It's amazing tech.
It's amazing, but I've got no idea who the manufacturer.
Is so it is Simtech. SYOT EE CK.
SIMTEC. Wow, I believe.
OK. And what's their their previous?
I actually don't portfolio like more right, So if you wouldn't
mind totaling up your scores, so it saves me the job.
Don't look at each other's hand me the papers and I shall do the
final tally. I.
Think that's I think that's fair.
You got it. OK.
Yeah, you're good. I think so.
Lawrence pass me his OK, disrespectable.
Thank you, Andy. Respectful.
Right. OK, that.
Wasn't that bad, was it? No, I, I genuinely like I, I,
yeah. Who's one?
I think it's no obvious one, but.
I'm saying that, Andy, you have not shamed yourself.
No, you've not done yourself proud.
Yeah. So Lawrence out of 26 has got a
very impressive 23 out of 26. I'll take that.
Yeah, that's good. I'll take that.
That's good. Yeah, clearly I need my hard
questions to be harder. Yeah, yeah, no, I'm gonna have
to ask Soph to like, play along because she'll pretend.
Oh yeah, I knew all her. I'm gonna have to get her to
write down the answers so she's doing it or or text them to me
actually, because that's it's documented.
So this is pre recorded so text him.
No, no, but when she do a live show, no.
When she's doing it though, she can just text because then Oh
no, because she could delete it. Couldn't She could delete a text
when we do a live show. Then you can cheat all you want.
No, don't. What you mean?
Well, you can. We could be talking here live.
Yeah, Sophie would be texting you the.
Answers. Oh, she could be texting me the
answers. Yeah, yeah.
No, no, no, no, no. I really, I want to.
I want to find out how she scores.
Anyway, sorry. Oh, I see what you mean.
You're talking about when she plays, when she.
Plays the game. She's because by the end she'll
go, Oh yeah, I know I do. Then I'll be like, did ya?
Yeah, let's see your bit. Let's see a bit of paper.
Exactly. I I'm going to, I'm going to get
to why are we? Having.
Theoretical arguments with our wives now.
It's not a theoretical it's a cheater, Sophie.
No, no, no, no. Just play fair.
Would you like to know Andy's
score? Yeah, out of 26.
I think it's going to be super respectable.
What do you think it'll be? Go on.
I think you've gone. I think you've gone above 50%.
Well, if I can read your writing, bang on 50%.
Hey. At 13 out of 26.
Yeah, I'm not being funny, right?
But but but. He's given himself 15 bonus
points. So makes me the winner and he
has. Won by default.
So because so he scored 20 out of 2615 bonus points.
I got 15 + 13, got 28 out of 28. 26 That's what I said. 28 out of
26. So that's actually a lot more
than I expected you to get so. 50%, yeah, it's not bad.
Is it good? Job like, genuinely like, OK, if
you had had that, if you'd experienced that quiz 24 months
ago, two years ago, would you have known the answer to any of
them? Well, obviously the first sort
of Harry Potter five. Yeah.
Beyond the first five, no, not
really. Celestial Park.
And that not a clue, no and. You know that's an intamin.
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, I mean that that was a
that's a great. Point he wants to know is
Intamin B&M because Nemesis and Aerodynamics because they went
bust, but I know they're American Mac.
Mac, Mac, yeah, see. But this you're already, you're
already. On the yeah, but if you said to
a ride you want a Mac make, I haven't got a clue what's
spinning rides. Yeah, and Stardust races.
OK. Hyperia Hyper Park Foot Park.
We've got to close the toilets I.
Think I think. Thank you very much Mike for
putting that together. Yeah, because, you know, between
you and ChatGPT, we, we got 25 to 2/26 decent questions there.
So no, I, I, I think you should do 2 sets of questions.
Now. You know, when you pay Trivial
Pursuit you can play. Yes.
Genius edition and Kids edition, right.
I think you should do 2 sets of questions.
Theme park questions Nerd edition and theme park questions
non theme park goer. Yeah, I like, I like that.
I don't. Think you did bad?
You did not shame yourself whatsoever.
You see, I I think there is also an opportunity here, Addy, for
you to educate us on the ways of construction. 100%.
Because, you know, that is, look, it's like asking me,
asking us basically, OK, here's a quiz.
By the way, Lawrence, this is a subject you're really interested
in specifically, and only this is something that's very new to
you. OK, Of course.
But then if you were to ask us questions about some, like what
they're doing on the site, why they're doing it that way, how
they're going to fucking build a road or whatever, that's not a
bad idea. Like, like not only then would
we be humbled, but we'd also learn something as well.
Everyone would be learning. Something it's a good idea.
So let's do that. Let's do it.
Yeah, yeah. As well as 80s movies, 80s
movies. I paid for the 80s movies.
Quiz and I've got to think of a a subject matter that I will do
we keep. It universal or do we just go
all our 80s I think. I think I think we can.
You could do a universe round out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We can spread out.
But I think it's it's good to kind.
Of universal category, but we won't bother to announce the
categories. Yeah, yeah, 'cause I think
that's like the the thing on this.
This show what not announcing the categories making well, no,
no, I mean the categories to be fair, I I think the categories
were they were announced, but the categories were easy.
It was just like a a sliding scale of like like taking the
piss so easy to he. Was like, he wants to be a
millionaire. He's like the first questions up
to 1000 lbs are just stupid. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What colour is blue? Yeah.
And and you're like, you're second guessing yourself.
You're like, I can't be there and then and like, then you get
to the end and it's, it's yeah, some absolute nonsense.
But I loved it, Absolutely loved it.
So thank you, Mike, for putting that together.
Honestly, you got to let us know how you got on and just, and
whether you like the format as well.
Like I want to know A, how well did you do B, if you thought the
questions really good. No, seriously, they were.
But no. Let us know if you had fun
playing along as well and and what you'd like to be quizzed on
in the future. Questions.
We are always welcome. Your questions.
Somebody left a message. Quite ironic actually.
I don't know if you saw it on the Spotify.
It came up, yeah. I.
Did I did and it said it said How do I ask?
How do I ask a question? That question, quite ironically,
that question is a question, but it's still serious as the answer
to that is you can report, respond to.
If you're listening to Spotify, you can respond in the comments
section or YouTube comments section.
Or e-mail is the e-mail is questions@breakingitpod.co.uk.
But if you go to breakingitpod.co.uk, you will be
able to submit a question. If you just scroll right to the
bottom of the page, whichever page you're on, you'll see a
little thing there saying ask a question.
You click on that, guess what? You can ask question.
Oh, just funny how that works. Magic.
We would also we'd like some voice notes.
Voice notes. You can send voice notes via
WhatsApp on O 7440561162 and that will come through to me and
we'll we'll share them with the the other two guys here and if
they're decent we'll play them and try and answer your
questions. Absolutely.
And if they are really ridiculous, we might hear them
live for the first time and and and it'll all be very enjoyable
for everyone. Maybe I'll do that.
Maybe I'll just hold them back. Yeah, I think you should.
Yeah, we'll go from some decent questions to some really
ridiculous questions. I, you know, don't, don't hold
back. Like what colour is blue?
Yeah, yeah. Or who manufactured battle at
the ministry? You know, is a Yeah.
It's not aerodynamics. It wasn't aerodynamics.
Yeah. Yeah.
Well, thank you very much. Oh, no, go on.
We got a butt. No butt, you said butt.
No, I didn't. I said right.
Right, right. Yeah.
Thank you very much for joining us.
This has been a brick in it, the Universal Studios UK podcast
production. I've been Andy from Project
Universal. I've been Lawrence from
Universally Bedford. And I have been Mike from
Universal Studios Great Britain updates.
