    Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser

    For what its worth, my initial take is: 1) Lightsaber training should have been in the park as an Olivanders type experience and setup 2) Lounge singer, dining and finale show should have been a diner theater priced similarly to Hoop-Dee-Doo Review As for the experience itself, my initial...

    Joining the Team That Designs HHN

    Thanks for the quick reply and information! Guess its time to just sit down and write.

    Joining the Team That Designs HHN

    Does anyone by chance have a sample house treatment? Even if it is just a single scene or two. Not necessarily HHN, but just something that is standard for the industry. Looking to start writing for myself. Mainly curious about format. Thanks!

    The Bourne Stuntacular - General Discussion

    So are we expecting this to operate with specific show times like a typical stunt show or continuous shows one right after the other like T2 did originally.

    Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway (DHS)

    Watched a POV, I think it looks like like a good fun ride. The projections certainly give the ride a very unique environment. There are some moments that just flow nicely but really make me wonder how the effects were done. I really don't understand why people are against this ride. Seems to...

    Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run (DHS)

    Now that the first videos are coming out from Media in Disney Land, does anyone know how this ride is setup logistically? From construction we know there are 4 simulator complexes. Are there 4 pre-show rooms and 4 millennium falcon chess rooms? Or does one feed all 4 areas? I find the setup...

    HHN 29: Nightingales: Blood Pit

    They have done some very gory houses in the past so it won't be new territory for them. In fact there use to always be a 'gore' house every year. The past few years have been low on gore though. I wonder if this is somewhat of a reaction to last years comments calling the event too 'PG'...

    Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

    When I saw the train wrap my first thought was something similar to this style seat (not a wave runner though...obviously): This is a ride in Sea World San Antonio. It has the look of the motorbike coasters but you still sit in an upright 'normal' position. I think this would be much easier...

    Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

    The biggest surprise to me at this point is the lack of any structure closing in the area at the spike and track switch. There seems to be zero hint at any type of foundation. Very curious how that area will play out, especially if it remains exposed. Also, there is also a LOT more being...

    Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run (DHS)

    Is this attraction suppose to load in a single location and the domes/cockpits rotate in a circle similar to Forbidden Journey? Also very curious what the game play will be. How will they handle so many randomized possibilities and keep the ride time the same for everyone? Really curious how...

    Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway (DHS)

    I would disagree that the canyon is less impressive from the bottom. I was on a 7 day rafting trip through the canyon this summer and experiencing it from the river is quite spectacular. The perspective of scale is amazing and the rapids can be quite thrilling! Although I had an unexpected...

    Revenge of the Mummy Refurbishment (Late 2022)

    Fire was off in the treasure room every time we rode last weekend. Fire was on in the fake unload every time though. Very odd to me that its off in one part of the ride but on in another. I don't think the fire was ever on in the treasure room because there was no propane smell like there is...

    We stayed at Royal Pacific.

    Express Waits

    Update from our trip this last weekend. The waits on Thursday and Friday with Express were 5 min waits for just about every attraction, include potter, hulk, spidey etc all day. Saturday and Sunday were way different stories! To give an idea of how busy the parks were, Fallon was holding...

    Halloween Horror Nights 28 (UO): Reviews & Photos

    Some random thoughts from my visit to the final 3 nights of HHN 28. Biggest surprise of the event was the extensive use of atmospheric effects in multiple houses. Especially Poltergeist and Seeds. Those storms where fantastic and very effective! Seeds of Extinction and Trick r' Treat were...

    Race Through NY Starring Jimmy Fallon

    How often is there a performance going on in the lounge? Even if the park is slow will you most likely still see the entertainment in the queue? Also, its my understanding that express basically just bypasses the virtual line and just goes straight to the lounge. Is this true, or does express...

    T2:3D - Battle Across Time Memorial Thread

    Forget Bond or Bourne, Miss Saigon confirmed! Seriously though, if a Broadway show can have a full size practical helicopter fly on stage, I think it should be a cake walk for Universal to do the same.

    Express Waits

    The deluxe resorts are basically sold out for our trip this upcoming weekend. Should we expect express waits to be longer since the resorts that offer express are full? Curious if anyone has ever seen a correlation. Side note: Is there a convention going on this weekend that has the resorts...

    Universal's Cinematic Celebration Night Show

    Is there any talk of when this show will make its return after HHN? I will be there Sunday Nov 4th and was really hoping to catch a show. Slim chance I know but has anyone heard anything?

    Spider-Man getting HD Upgrading

    The levitation scene is my favorite attraction scene in any ride from any park. It is so convincing both visually and physically. The dropping building set is so vital to the effect. I don't really understand the need to add silhouettes to the windows though. I have probably ridden this...
