VelociCoaster Testing, Skeleton Scavenger Hunt & Trying More Delicious Mardi Gras Foods At Universal

Editorial Summary

The creators visit Universal Orlando to participate in the Mardi Gras festivities, focusing on the Crew Crawl scavenger hunt and various food offerings. They begin at Islands of Adventure to observe testing for the new VelociCoaster, which they successfully witness running near the lagoon. After viewing new merchandise and a German Christmas windmill in the Port of Entry, they transition to Universal Studios to engage in the Crew Crawl. This scavenger hunt requires finding specific skeleton displays in various gift shops to collect stamps for a prize. Throughout the day, the creators sample several themed items, including beef picadillo arepas, carnitas, and a crab meat hand pie, which they highly recommend. They also attempt to use a lanyard from a previous year, which guest services confirms is still valid for food punches. The trip concludes with the successful completion of the scavenger hunt, earning them decorative beads and masks, and a final review of the various culinary experiences encountered during the event.
