USF Addicts Website Interview

By D.Z. Theme Park Specialist
Hey everyone. Do we have a treat for you. We were lucky enough to interview Tyler Leonard. He is the CEO and founder of the USF Addicts website. You can find his site at http://www.usfaddicts.net/. His website is all about Universal Orlando Resort! He provides great photo and video updates of the theme parks. Even if you have never been to Univerrsal Orlando, or have been 1000 times, you should all check out USF Addicts website. Ok, the momment you have all been waiting for. Here is the interview!


Question 1- What made you want to do the website?
Well, I have always been a member of online Theme Park Forums and they were all to broad, in my opinion. I thought of the idea to just have my favorite theme park as one. I started the site in late 2010, then it only had about 15 members and now has over 1,500+ on our Facebook page. Then, I changed the site, to a news site and after some minor tweaks and theme changes on the way, the site is how it is now.

 Question 2- What theme park in the resort is your favorite?
Most defiantly Universal Studios Florida. I choose this, because it is like the hidden gem of the resort, everyone underestimates it, they would rather go to Potter or Islands of Adventure. I would rather go the road not taken and go to Universal. I love the Movie Studio theme to it, and I love all of the rides they have there and it has always been a place in my heart.

Question 3- Do you want a job at the park? If so, what would it be?
Yes! I would love to have a job at Universal Orlando. If I had to choose one ride to work at, I would choose Men In Black: Alien Attack. I say this because, I love the original Men In Black and the ride is one of the only places you can still act in the whole park (the pre-show you can do a spiel if you want)
Question 4- Out of all the theme parks in Florida, why does Universal Orlando really stick out to you?
 Universal Orlando really sticks out to me because they have the broadest selection of rides, in my opinion. They cater every type of theme park fan. They have Dark Rides, Roller Coasters, Family Rides, they have it all! Plus, I have grown up watching all of the rides you can ride at Universal and Islands of Adventure.

Question 5- Any plans to expand the site in the future?
Well, yes.. *Shhhhh*. I one day plan to take the site in to Orlando Park Addicts (OPA). There I would have ALL Orlando theme parks and cater to every theme park fan. I will say no further on that at this time. ;)

Special thanks to Tyler for connecting with us to do this. Please check out this site. It is well deserved.
