    Universal's Cinematic Celebration Night Show

    Sorry if this has been mentioned, but has anyone noticed that we never see the face/likeness of any actor from the Jurassic Franchise, and we only see Vin Diesel from the Furious franchise? There’s so many iconic human moments (quotes, etc) from these films that could improve this show yet we...

    Universal Orlando Resort Expansion (Part 1)

    So #blessed to be alive when people are throwing around the notion of Uni buying even more land on top of the buttload they recently purchased. I come from the dark ages of the early 2000's when, after Vivendi sold off the Lockheed land, future expansion was completely and totally ruled out...

    Universal's New Park/Site B Blue Sky Thread

    My bet is that they will use a small portion of the new land for a year-round HHN-style park with permanent walk-through houses and a few horror ride-based attractions. It will be open nightly, say, from 4pm-10pm. Houses can open/close based on season/attendance. This would be hard to resist...

    Aventura Hotel

    I think they are continuing to target the convention market with this hotel. The rooftop bar makes this hotel a no-brainer for convention bookers. My guess is that the rooftop will often be closed for private events.

    Volcano Bay: General Discussion

    Every theme park is a unique system and there is no way to predict anything, despite their best efforts. With theme park openings, every time is the first time.

    Guardian's of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout

    One more thing: The entire queue experience focuses on objects in boxes which are unrecognizable to 97% of the guests.

    Guardian's of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout

    The Tower of Terror appealed to a common fear every one of us has... every time we step in an elevator, we think, for a microsecond, "what if this falls?" -- and then quickly dismiss it as impossible. It literally appealed to one of our worst nightmares. And did it with nuance, class, and...

    Volcano Bay: General Discussion

    It seems like just yesterday Hatetofly (i think!) broke the news on this site that there would be a 200ft tall volcano next to I-4. And now it effing exists. Wow.

    Man, I wish this was the hero logo instead. (This one appears on some merch)

    Guardian's of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout

    Just to be clear, I hate it.

    Guardian's of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout

    I'm trying to just view this at face value, as if I was born into this world today. Trying to forget what's under there. I GUESS... it looks kinda cool? Kinda? I think...? Let me rephrase that. IF this was a brand new attraction, built from the ground up, I would probably think it looked...

    Guardian's of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout

    BTW can anyone explain the black vertical stripe on the right half of the building?

    That wire snapped one stormy night in 1939.

    Aventura Hotel

    Yeah.... :rolleyes: I guess I just need to accept that. LOL.

    Aventura Hotel

    I'm still completely bewildered by everything about this hotel. The location, the look, the name, the theme (?). I just don't get it. Any of it.

    Volcano Bay Construction & Preview Discussion

    I have a feeling some folks in the UO executive building are wondering the exact same thing.

    Volcano Bay Construction & Preview Discussion

    Very smart puttin in a hairpin turn at the entrance (with high trees) so the Volcano has a big "reveal" moment once you are in the park and round the corner.

    Volcano Bay Construction & Preview Discussion

    Does anyone know if the volcano will have any inhabitable spaces inside (i.e. breakroom, VIP room, offices, basketball court) or is it purely a decorative structure?

    Bob Iger Running for President?

    Not sure if you heard, but at the last investors meeting he kinda changed his tune, saying if the company needed him to stay then he would (paraphrasing).

    UO definitely has big plans for "Virtual Line". I believe they just registered the trademark for that term.
