A clever new Coca-Cola Freestyle tumbler has arrived in honor of the Jurassic World VelociCoaster. We purchased one immediately and made our way to the nearest Coca-Cola Freestyle machine. Summer 2021 can’t come soon enough!

One of our other favorite dinosaurs will not be returning to Universal Orlando, though. Peek-A-Boo’s house looks mostly untouched, but the arrival of a high reach in the area has us concerned about what’s going to be removed next. Farewell, old friend.

We’re not looking forward to Spring Break crowds, especially here in the Wizarding World. It’s crowded even on slow days.
