TDW 1740 - Banned From Universal Studios Orlando
In July 2012 I recorded two videos at Universal Studios Orlando of past attractions no longer open to the public . A lot has changed since those days both in my approach to documenting as well as the way I go about gaining access . Although I technically did not sneak into the locations alone and unnoticed as it may appear in the clips I do understand how posting the footage is frowned upon and can appreciate their concern. After nearly 5 years and countless return visits and annual passes to Universal Orlando Resort they have chosen at this time to trespass me from the property indefinitely .

out and maybe possibly the rock we'll
1:37
wait and see been waiting for a while
1:39
probably about an hour and the Sun is
1:42
very very warm trying to find shade but
1:46
still in a good spot to get a good angle
1:49
just in case they walk out of that door
1:51
got the billy goat out it's basically a
1:54
lawn mower but it's more like a vacuum

2:00

Rock
4:13
Ro this will be the last time I exit
4:13
Universal Studios Florida now Universal
4:16
Orlando I have been trespassed I'm being
4:19
escorted Out Security is directly behind
4:21
me on my way back to the rental car well
4:23
it's been fun it was fun while it lasted
4:25
well I was not expecting that to happen
4:28
today that was not on the agenda for
4:32
today's plans Deja Vu has reared its
4:35
head this is very reminiscent for me of
4:37
a few years ago when another Central
4:38
Florida theme park told me I was not
4:41
allowed on their premises that has since
4:44
been rectified and I am allowed back
4:48
there but now Universal Orlando has also
4:52
taken that stance based on a couple
4:56
videos I did in
4:58
2012 coming up on almost 5 years ago
5:01
it's coming back to haunt me even though
5:04
I figured it was all said and done and
5:06
bygones could be bygones that was simply
5:09
not the case and I totally understand
5:12
where they are coming from and I really
5:14
like to go back I really like for this
5:16
to be rectified the expiration date is
5:19
set for indefinite meaning there is no
5:22
expiration date for this and it includes
5:24
Universal studi City walk the parking
5:27
area Islands of Adventure the res resort
5:30
hotels and all underlined and
5:32
capitalized Universal Orlando property
5:35
the only difference in this scenario is
5:37
in this case I was not expecting it to
5:39
happen after this time this duration has
5:42
actually gone by and there's a little
5:44
bit more to the story on those Vlogs
5:47
than what I was showing on screen you
5:51
have to take a little bit of that in
5:52
consideration I like Universal Studios a
5:55
lot I'd like to go back hopefully this
5:57
can be
5:58
rectified I guess we'll have to stay
6:00
tuned Vlog over
