Some of these lists were copied right off the internet, which is fine, except they did not give a link to the site they took the list from.

well lots of words are suffixed with "ious" so probably many words have three vowels in a row and presumably there are other combinations such as beauty and similar such words.

You wouldn't count anyway, since in this case, y is a consonant.
Some examples:
queue
zoea
sequoia
turquoise
aqueous
I don't know how many there are, the these are just a few examples.

All the ones that have "ious" in them like delirious, delicious, curious, suspicious, vicious, malicious, atrocious. Those are the ones that come to mind, but I am sure there are alot more too.
