In this episode, Craig and Chantz embark on their first-ever visit to a major theme park, Universal Studios Beijing. The day begins with a journey from their hotel, involving three trains and about an hour of travel, which they find surprisingly easy thanks to the direct train to the park. Upon arrival, they are impressed by the seamless entry—no lines at security—and the impressive map that includes New Zealand. The heat is intense, but the park's outdoor fans and efficient crowd management make the wait bearable.
Their first ride, Jurassic World Adventure, is a two-hour wait, but the immersive queue area with screens and the ride itself leave them in awe. Craig and Chantz are genuinely scared as they feel chased by dinosaurs. After a quick snack of pork bun and apple slushy, they tackle Jurassic Flyers, a dangling coaster with great views of the park. Next, they explore Kung Fu Panda Land, noting the park's cleanliness and pleasant smells. The highlight is Harry Potter's Forbidden Journey, where they wait another 90 minutes in the heat but are rewarded with an incredible indoor roller coaster experience. They enjoy butterbeer (frozen version) and watch cosplayers at Hogwarts.
The parade surprises them on the way out. They end the day at a craft brewery with happy hour, enjoying kungpao nachos and truffle fries. Craig and Chantz reflect on the day, recommending the park but noting the high cost of express passes. They offer tips: bring cold water, an umbrella, and a phone strap for rides. The day is exhausting but unforgettable, and they're already planning to return for more worlds like Minions and Transformers. The editors note that their genuine excitement and honest reactions make this vlog a valuable guide for first-time theme park visitors in China.
