Get ready for adventure, islands of it, man.

From the studios to Volcano Bay.

This is the Universal Joint, a podcast devoted to all things Universal,

with your host Jim Hill and Dustin Foods.

Welcome to the Universal Joint Podcast.

I'm entertainment writer Jim Hill.

Let me bring my co-host Dustin Fuse in, by the way lives up in Toronto so you've been

dealing with some pretty extreme temperatures over the past week of so right?

Yeah the funny thing with being in in Toronto and being in Canada is that on one side of the coast it's incredibly cold on the other

side of the coast it's still there's not enough snow that you stop playing golf

you can still see the golf ball yeah But yeah, the temperatures are really bad up here,

but I think we're looking at the reason why a lot of folks

travel down to Universal and to Disney during these cold months. We want to at least have a little bit of color in our skin.

I bring this up because over the past six weeks or so this unseasonably cold weather has sometimes

stretched all the way down to Orlando which is why back on November 27th, a number of the tourist corridor water parks closed.

Okay, so during this particular cold snap, we had Disney's Typhoon Lagoon, it closed from Tuesday,

November 27th through Thursday, November 29th.

Blizzard Beach wasn't affected because Disney World's other water park had closed on October 28th for its annual

reefer. But Universal's Volcano Bay and Sea Worlds Aquatica. They closed on the 27th November and

Wednesday the 28th and that was also because of the cold but

so Dustin this happens again on November 9th

again Typhoon lagoon volcano bay aquatica all turning away guests for three days due to a protracted cold snap.
