This is my story on how I decided that Woody Woodpecker’s Nuthouse Coaster is not worth it. This story starts back in Summer of 2020, when I went to Universal Orlando for the first time. The experience was really great, but, what me and my family didn’t realize was that there were some rides that we did not know about, like Woody Woodpecker’s because it was hidden. And I thought we rode everything! We still saw the ride on the app, but I honestly thought it was part of Volcano Bay. Many trips since then have been a really hard scavenger hunt for multiple people I’ve gone there with. How I finally found out about it and rode it was when I went with my cousin, Revere (Rev for short), and he told me everything about Woody Woodpecker’s and wanted to ride it over and over again. I said to him, “Rev, don’t you know that that ride is in Volcano Bay. That’s super far away from here,” “Nuh-uh,” Rev said. Then his mom, Rochelle said, “Dukes, stop lying to him.” “How am I lying? I’m right.” Rev then said, “Fine, I’ll show you where it is.” “Fine by me.” I said. Rev and his mom started walking toward the back of the park, but not quite at Men in Black. Right when I realized this, we turned right. I was very confused by all of this turning. A few seconds after, I saw E.T. then Woody Woodpecker’s Nuthouse Coaster. I was then thinking at that moment, “What is this and why does Rev want to ride this? It’s a 35 minute wait, anyway.” Rev, 5 seconds after I was thinking, said “Okay, let’s ride!” “What?! No! I’m not waiting 35 minutes for such a small ride like this that lasts two seconds!” Rochelle said, “Dukes does have a point, but Rev and Dahlia can’t ride anything else.” Two things I have to point out about this. First, I was annoyed when she said this because I was 52", Rev was 47", and Dahlia was 39". Second, Dahlia is Rev’s sister who I won’t mention a lot. She was not really relevant to the story. She was almost 3 years old, I was 8 years old, and Rev was 5 years old at the time. Anyway, I had to ride it because they could practically only ride that and Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem. So, when I was in the line, I was tired for that 35 minutes they promised us to wait in. That’s all I have to say about the line. Then the ride itself, too short, too shaky, not worth it, and the whole ride is red, which doesn’t bother me too much, though.
