Future of Dragon Challenge?

[Yabbadabba Doh]

How are the views from that bypass bridge? I'm sure they are considering a VIP viewing area as well.

I haven't seen anyone suggest this yet but I'm sure there will be multiple showings a night so it allows a wider number of people to see the show. Think along the lines of what MK did with their castle projection show.

Yes. I'd expect a Tree of Life/Gringott's bank dragon type situation. That area can't really support a crowd gathering for more than a few minutes.

I'll be shocked if this is a 10-15 minute show.

I wasn't expecting a "show" at all, rater just a constant random thing that pops up every once in a while

Agreed. I don't want to purely use a Disney example, but Tree of Life really sets the best expectations. Or what Disneyland does to Small World Holiday facade.

No, this should be a full on projection/ firework show. Something the length of fantasy in the sky.

Wrong thread, Luke.

I would expect, for the new Hogwarts show for Orlando and Hollywood; that it will act as vignette's for the overall night, similar to how Tree of Life does it masterfully in a way.

Any particular reason this thread has just stopped cold? No updates in nearly a month.

 

[Imperius]

Probably just waiting for the announcement.

 

[theRiot]

It's just this whole IOA section of the forums as gone dead since April. Just seems strange.

 

[bob albert]

There are big additions happening in orlando elsewhere and nothing even announced in IOA. Not unexpected.

So at The Dis Craig said (who worked at Universal and whose wife is working there still) that Dragon Challenge will go down in September.

 

[Imperius]

That's been the rumored date for awhile now. Could just be repeating what was said here.

 

[AlexanderMBush]

Indeed. Makes sense, and if 2019 is the date for it; it makes sense that they start then.

 

[epcyclopedia]

They can't want to keep welding it extensively every night. It was in worse shape than Hulk. There has to be some sort of plan.

It's been the rumored date for over a year, before last September

I was told by an Insider on my trip that it was always this September (2017). When some insiders got a glimpse of the plans early last year that said September, they just took for granted it was Sept. 2016. But they didn't look closely enough. It said Sept. 2017 back then, but was misinterpreted. So, unless things change, and Universal does change plans often, it should be this September 2017.

Sep 2018 is next year.

Sep 2018 is next year.

Whoops. :doh:I was just working on some stuff at my desk for next year, had 2018 in my head, and blew the dates. Correction to 2016 for wrong look and 2017 for actual. DC tear down. I fixed it....Thanks for the heads up.

Even a broke blogger is right once a year.........

So, what do these Insiders look like? Are they mysterious cloaked figures? Are they manning the Dip-n-Dot stands? I can never seem to find one. "Insiders" seems like a name that JK Rowling would assign to a special group of investigators.
