| 0:02.8 | for man tengance a alijad of the s uentas. Oh, Hey everybody welcome to to Unlocking the Magic. Today's show we are going to go over all the rides at Universal's Islands of Adventure. |
| 0:41.0 | We're switching it up, doing Universal today and tell you whether or not |
| 0:44.7 | we are in or out on some of these. We're going to describe the rides of course, give you a little |
| 0:49.4 | quick overview of what each one is in case you haven't been to Universal or maybe it's |
| 0:53.6 | been a long time since you've been and just give us give we're gonna give you |
| 0:57.1 | our thoughts well we have been doing a Disney podcast for a long time as you know |
