Okay, so this is off topic and a weird question but I didn't want to start a thread just to ask this. But wasn't there a thread of someone's trip to Universal Japan somewhere on here just a few days ago? I can't seem to find it now.

This should be it.

That's the one! :thumbs:

Haha thanks, I dunno why I couldn't find it.

Looks like the project's moving along at a super-fast rate! The grand staircase tower is already finished.

It's a shame there's not much way to see how Hogsmeade is progressing, though.

Very cool! Thanks for posting the video, Cupcakes! :thumbs:

What is the music playing at the very beginning of that video? It is driving me NUTS not remembering! Is it from a sports related movie???

PS: Thanks for posting. Talk about deja vu...

 

[Teebin]

Doing a bump to this very recent post. I REALLY want to know if any of you can identify the music in the very beginning of the video above. I searched all my hunches and they were wrong. :'(

 

[Felipe]

Sorry, Teebs. I tried to Shazam it and came up empty :shrug:

 

[Teebin]

^ thanks Felipe. I looked into doing the same thing but just decided that it was too much bother. I felt positive someone here would know immediately what film it was from. :embarassed:

 

[romo]

are both the ones here and hollywood supposed to be a replica of ours...specs wise? and same stores? oh and they getting FJ?

 

[Hatetofly]

Not replicas but close to the original, and we could see two major upgrades and added effects that never made the cut here in Orlando to the HW FJ.

That's definitely the one! Nice job, DK745! :thumbs:

BTW, that's a Warner Bros. picture. Hmmm...

Wow, thank you so much for letting me know DK745!!! While it is likely I saw it in 1983 I cannot recall seeing it. But it is "heroic-against-the-odds" music (as I wrote to a member on here begging for help). This movie needs to be remade with todays film tech.

 

[Teebin]

Too funny. The irony of finding out what movie this was from is not lost on me on reflection. It is almost paradoxical. I wrote to the member on here stating that I had searched everything from the films, "Breaking Away" to "Apollo 13". Turns out, the reason I probably saw this movie about astronauts was because of the member of the cast from the movie "Breaking Away" who also appeared in "The Right Stuff".

Ain't life grand and curious.

Thanks for posting the videos Decepticon! :thumbs:

So, that was clearly filmed here in Orlando But, unless these are misleading, I'm assuming Japan will get exactly what we have, sans Dragons?

Japan and HW are nearly identical from what I'm told.
