Black's secret immigration room this secret backstage experience takes your ride to a whole new level and it won't cost you a dime the only downside is that it's not always available so you'll have to check if there's any ride member available to act as a tour guide once you're on the tour though a guide will escort you downstairs giving you access to the lower level of the room where the queue passes above imagine being inside the control room straight out of the Menin black movies complete with lifelike animatronic figures of boang and Bob the tentacle twins not only that but there are also Hidden Treasures in this room you'll spot inside jokes on newspapers and paperwork and also find pages from the original Menin black screenplay cleverly marked as a cover Story the coolest part is that visitors on the immigration tour can leave their Mark by signing the logbook for interplanetary guests and you can even take a snapshot of yourself on those Sleek futuristic seats they might not be the comfiest but hey they make for a great picture number two watch new TV shows and get paid ever thought of making some cash while hanging out at a theme park sounds like an absolute dream dream doesn't it well the NBC Media Center at Universal Studios Florida makes it happen throughout the year Universal focuses on a lot of third-party group testing to fully understand guest reactions to new products food and drink and television shows and if you're one of the lucky guests who get to be part of this testing you'll also be reimbursed for your time with none other than Universal gift cards or cash one of the most famous testing focus groups of course is the one with television shows these shows are pilots or First episodes of TV shows designed to see whether there was enough interest out there for the producers to make a full series as the process begins you step into a room full of computers slap on some headphones and hold two buttons one red and one green when you watch the episode you're told to press the green button when you see something you enjoy and the red button when you dislike something after the show there was a lengthy questionnaire where they Grill you with questions about everything from the storyline to the actors and where you think the show should be aired what's also exciting about this process is that you sign up not knowing what show you'll watch but they do ask about your taste in shows beforehand so if you've got some time to spare and love diving into TV surprises this could be the perfect place to to spend some quality time number three discover secret spots to cast wand spells hidden within the enchanting Wizarding World of Harry Potter lie some secret spots where you can weave your magic with interactive wands back in 2014 when Diagon Alley sprang to life at Universal it was a dream come true for Harry Potter Buffs among the incredible immersion was the introduction of interactive Wizarding wands these wands let you Channel your inner wizard by casting spells that create all sorts of enchantments in Diagon Alley and hogsmead when you grab one of these magical wands either by choosing it at olivanders or purchasing it it's time to Unleash Your Swish and flick skills at various designated spots throughout both lands you'll notice that your wand comes with a map pointing out these spellcasting locations marked by bronze medallions on the ground officially there are 34 of these spots across the two areas but guess what there are a few secret spots that won't show up on any map now no one's spoiling any surprises here but here's a tip try your hand at the window outside scribbulus in Diagon Alley or chat with the shrunken heads in nocturn alley and if you're keen on discovering more the best bet is to ask a friendly witch or wizard AKA a universal team member to guide you to these hidden enchantments number four look for hidden signatures on superhero Island superhero Island at Islands of Adventure is like stepping into a Battleground between good and evil especially with the Hulk coasters Roars adding to the Epic Vibe as you look around you'll catch the X-Men battling their Archen enemies high above you it's a whole superhero Saga unfolding right before your eyes thanks to the incredible graphic art pieces by comic book Legend Adam cubert cubert's the artistic brain behind the stunning visuals in superhero Island he's been a Powerhouse in the comic book scene since 1984 weaving his magic at both Marvel and DC Comics but it's his Stellar work with Wolverine and the X-Men that really stands out what you may not know though is that after cubert was done making these graphic illustrations Universal asked him not to sign any of those Brilliant Creations but cubert being a bit of a cheeky Rebel sneaked his signature deep into the illustrations themselves rumor has it there are about 22 of these gigantic illustrations hiding his signature and it looks like storm may have lucked out with not just one but two illustrations here's one hidden signature to get you started if you're looking forward to discovering the rest if you look closer at Captain America's cutout zoom in on his left arm deep within his costume you'll find the word Adam woven perfectly within it number five get a one-of-a-kind Vibe tour of the Hard Rock Cafe located in the City walk entertainment complex at Universal Studios Orlando Hard Rock Cafe Orlando is the biggest Hard Rock Cafe in the world this is the place to be if you're a music fanatic and want to check out some of the most iconic

Hidden Treasures one of the highlights from this tour is hearing the stories behind the Woodstock room you also get to experience the iconic John Lenin room and the attic where VIPs and music stars often hang out the attic is like a time capsule covered in autographs from Rock leg and a wild mix of props think Harry Potter's room of requirement but with an 80s Van Halen Vibe this tour is a gem for everyone but if you're a music enthusiast or a massive Beatles fan trust me there's no way you can miss out on a chance like this number six enjoy the perfect time with your pets at the Royal Pacific the Royal Pacific may be known at Universal for its tropical wonders and a wide variety of exotic food but did you know that the scene here is way bigger than what meets the eye there are plenty of spots across the property where you can take your furry friends for a stroll but the real star is the Royal Pet Resort near the main building it's almost like a theme park for pets at first glance you might mistake it for a kids play area but as you wander deeper you realize it's a Wonderland crafted just for dogs and it's pretty economical too across the three Lowe's hotels at Universal there's a daily pet charge of 50 bucks but it caps at 150 bucks regardless of how long you stay whether it's a three night stay or a month-long vacation it's still just 150 bucks plus all sorts of pets are welcome cats dogs birds reptiles you name it another neat thing about this experience is that the pet friendly rooms are all on one floor in one of the towers so if you're not keen on bumping into pets during your stay no worries you probably won't even know they're around even the Royal Pet Resort huge as it is is like a hidden treasure unless you know where to find it it doesn't interfere with the regular guest experience but for pet lovers who see their furballs as family it's a Priceless addition to their stay number seven access the hidden playlist at RI ride rocket if you've ever hopped on RI ride rocket you know there's a bit of a rush when you grab your seat once you're settled you've got about a blink of an eye to choose a song for your 97 second adrenaline packed Journey that's a lot of pressure especially considering that the coaster doesn't stop at the station it only slows down before you've got to hop on from a moving walkway while the coaster inches by after you've hopped onto the ride and buckled in you've got 30 songs to pick from spread across different categories like classic rock rap and more but what if I were to tell you there's a secret stash of tunes that blows these out of the water forget scrolling through the regular playlist instead as soon as you're in your seat and the lap bars up press and hold down on the Coaster's logo for about about 5 to 10 seconds soon the regular playlist will disappear from the screen instead a keypad will pop up asking for a thre digigit code on any given code that you enter you can unlock over 60 other songs from Elton John's Crocodile Rock to The Muppets The Rainbow Connection I bet there's a song for everyone on this playlist so the next time you're there be sure to try out this hack and truly get the personal experience that this ride has to offer
