    USF Project?

    Not necessarily linked to the FFL/MoM discussion but if, if, Uni took out MiB to 1) expand Springfield and 2) put in another shooter-type ride, I would hope it would be themed to the Genesis' Bart vs. The Space Mutants game.

    Halloween Horror Nights 27 General Discussion

    . This ^^^. Plus I feel it's a good way to get a lot of cheap scares if folks are too busy taking photos they fail to see the scare actors behind them.... or on stilts :look:.

    Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

    Random, but Andysol I really like your idea for having Grawp/a giant creature AA during the "faster" portions of this ride. When going fast, the larger the AA the more it sticks out and the less UC would need to articulate it's movements. IDK, something about having a huge AA thrills and chills...

    Halloween Horror Nights 27 General Discussion

    I wish. As the new (old?) adage goes revolving house/mazes "IPs sell tickets". Here's hoping the IPs (which have been stellar since I've been going to the event since 2015 as well as from what I hear about past events) blow everyone out of the water and make guests want more non-IP houses/mazes...

    Stay and Scream Locations?

    My bad- it was probably for TWD not Exorcist. Whatever house we were trying to get into that was located in NY we weren't allowed to stay in DA, and I was disappointed that we wouldn't be able to sit around the fountain and cool off :(.

    Stay and Scream Locations?

    Weirdly DA was open in 2015, but not 2016 for me and my group. Last year Duff Gardens was open the entire time for the TCM SnS. However, when our group tried to wait in DA/London for Exorcist SnS we were told that the only option was to wait at Finn's. We decided not to, and it worked out cause...

    Attendance Tracker

    I would say the international market would be the one to pick up the slack, but given how things are going in Brazil, U.K., and other former tourist-heavy countries I'm not so sure. Plus with both Disney and Universal building parks to cover several Asian markets I'm not sure where they can pull...

    Universal Orlando Resort Expansion (Part 1)

    Wasn't there a former HP-turned-generic con that meets in Orlando? Could be a good way to get the geeks into the new 4th park for pre/post con meetups.

    Universal Orlando Resort Expansion (Part 1)

    Please forgive me if I'm posting this in the wrong thread but would anyone else like to see Universal have something akin to the F&W-esque festivals at EPCOT in one of the parks? Not anything too elaborate or directly competing with Disney's offerings, but something that makes going to the parks...

    USF Project?

    As much as I would love a year round scary haunt or ride I think the timing's too tight for this. If they're trying to have the USF project and Nintendo working at the same time wouldn't be (again) two areas of USF under construction at the same time? Even if it's hidden behind KZ and the FFL...

    HHN 27: When are You Going?

    Weekend of Sept. 29 to Oct. 2. I'm trying to bring a friend who's never been to HHN before. This should be fun :sneak: .

    Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser

    Well tbf I work for a state gov and we get 15 vacay days annually... :D But the dates can be adjusted- I assume anyone that has the $$$ to stay at the SWH could afford to take a week or two off.

    Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser

    Like someone said earlier in the thread the "ideal" set up would be like this: 14 day vacation: 2d MK 2d Epcot 2d HWS (or whatever they're renaming it) sans SWL 2d SWL only (hotel LARPing + exclusive access to SWL) 2d AK 2-4d "other" Orlando (incl. USF/IOA/VB or SW/BG) This is Disney's answer...

    Black Panther

    This. Between BP and the Captain Marvel movie (as well as any new standalone "origin" movies that'll come out for MCU) Marvel's letting up on the tight, uniformed control over their "cinematic" vision and allowing their films to be more expressive. You can see hints of it coming out in Thor...

    Black Panther

    Cannot wait for this movie! I'm glad that BP is benefiting from having its premiere date pushed back- the extra development time has been doing it justice.

    Fast & Furious: Supercharged - General Discussion

    Not sure with Kong, but with other screen-based rides (e.g. Forbidden Journey) I've noticed the edges because I've ridden the ride several times, and want to pick out more details in the scenery. Though I did check Kong's screen edges after noticing the fake foliage on the right-hand side.

    Volcano Bay: General Discussion

    Not sure what's going on with my post lol. But I have a silly question for those who were able to ride the drop slides. How long did you hold your breath for the drop slides? I've been on Water Country USA's drop slide and it felt like I had to hold my breath until I almost passed out. I know...

    HHN 27: Ticket, RIP Tours, and Pass Information

    I know not everyone is not a fan, but I am glad ROF came back for the first 3 weekends. Interesting to see the 2nd weekend includes a Thursday night too. Has that happened in the past?

    Halloween Horror Nights 27 General Discussion

    So if the Shining is confirmed, I'm gonna need a shirt with Groundskeeper Willie saying "The Shinning". In regards to Shining!Movie vs. Shining!Miniseries, while I wish they could've went with the property that incorporated King's vision more the film is way too iconic (which everyone knows)...
