    Halloween Horror Nights 32 (UOR) - News & Info

    Checked out the Taste of Terror event last weekend. Definitely think you should get a bit more for how much they charge. But it was fun and I’m definitely more excited for HHN season now.

    Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser

    Hopefully someone is planning this out already. Have a "transport pod" like the one used to enter the space restaurant at Epcot. Then make the pool area a large totally enclosed canopy with stained glass to not clearly see out and realize its just Florida swamp outside. Theme it to a "tropical...

    Best and Quiet Rest Areas in Universal

    Areas by the lagoon at IOA near the port of entry are awesome as well. You get some noise from the Hulk coaster, but not many people, if any. Tables outside of Lombards near London waterfront are great and typically the tables by the water near Duff bar in Springfield are quiet.

    Volcano Bay: General Discussion

    Quick question: Can you re-enter Volcano Bay same day with a one day ticket? Will be staying at Sapphire Falls and doing volcano bay one day. Was thinking about going early to get some slides done and then avoiding the afternoon storms and maybe taking a nap in the room, but wanted to go back to...

    An "Inverse" Express Pass Question?

    If you are staying at Hard Rock for a week, do you plan on going to the parks everyday? If so, I would say to use express on everything the first time through. You should easily be able to do everything at least 1-2 times in 2 days using express. Then if the wait is 15-20 minutes for something...

    CityWalk Expansion

    But the automatic door is great for those with strollers or wheelchairs. Also, I hate it when a line is out the door and you have to stand there holding the door open while you are in the line. When I was there Saturday Cold Stone was very busy with a line out of the door. Starbucks and Cold...

    Disney's NextGen Initiative

    Best part is that in the article in the Orlando Sentinel yesterday, Disney justified the increased cost by saying: "Our pricing reflects the high quality and breadth of experiences we offer and our ongoing commitment to investing in our parks," Disney spokesman Bryan Malenius said Saturday. :rofl:

    Mardi Gras 2014

    I did the Mardi Gras survey that Universal sent out to me this morning. Pretty normal except the end was interesting. They asked about the level of interest in an event that celebrated Mardi Gras across the globe. It would highlight food and traditions from places like Brazil, Germany, etc. It...

    Upgrading An Annual Pass?

    The ticket scans as a "complimentary" ticket with no value when you go to guest services after getting in to HHN. I was denied the upgrade last year. BUT, I simply walked out of guest services and found some people about to leave, found out they were using just a regular one day admission...

    Blackfish (The Tillikum Documentary)

    I'm not any type of marine biology expert, but, I looked up who the OPS is, and its a few photographers and film people. I'm not sure why you posted this link. Was it to further expose the lack of scientific support behind the opponents of Sea World? One of the OPS board claims to have a minor...

    HHN Solo?

    Just wanted to see if anyone has done HHN solo? I will be getting a FFP, but my wife HATES HHN. So I usually go a few times here and there with local friends or sometimes I convince out of town friends to go for a night. But I love HHN! I want go WAY more times than my friends could tolerate. I...

    The Future of Lost Continent (Poseidon Fury closing May 9)

    I'm sure I'm not the first to throw this out there, but what about a Percy Jackson overlay to the Lost Continent??? Doesn't seem like too much of a stretch and the books are actually really enjoyable, I thought. It could help add to the family friendly vibe UOR is pushing toward.

    New Water Park coming to Universal Orlando?

    Since this has been rumored for so long, I would think that they most likely have multiple planned options: 1. Building totally new. 2. Re-using/Re-theming WnW where it stands. 3. Using any slides/parts they want and relocating to a different location. Maybe next to Cabana bay??

    New Water Park coming to Universal Orlando?

    Waterpark transportation survey Just a heads up. I just completed a survey from universal regarding transportation to a "hypothetical" waterpark that was easy walking distance (5mins) from I drive hotels or long walking distance (15 mins+) from onsite hotels. It discussed a large number of...

    Springfield Expansion

    Just thinking about Duff gardens. I am super stoked to sit out there and drink, especially in the cooler months, but it looks really exposed to the elements from the pictures. Unless they add some awning of some kind it looks like it could get really hot out there at times and then when we get...

    Halloween Horror Nights 23 Speculation

    Makes total sense to wait. When you do buy your premier pass they will give you a little booklet that has your HHN pass and some vouchers for free water and I think it lists all the places and discounts you get at those places. You can book the hotel using the AP discount code APH on the website...

    Halloween Horror Nights 23 Speculation

    You should have gotten a voucher in the pack with the free water vouchers. You can redeem it at any of the ticket counters in City Walk or the parks as long as you know what date you wanna go.

    Halloween Horror Nights 23 Speculation

    Don't think it'll happen, but........wouldn't it be awesome to have the stay and scream in the Springfield area as well as Finnegan's? They'd have multiple bars and multiple places to eat. I always get the FFP and go mostly on Sindays. I get to Finnegans early to pregame and then hit a few...
