    Epic Universe ‘Homework’ Thread

    It's something I like to do before every HHN event, which is try to experience as much of the media that a theme park attraction is based off of before I experience it in person! It's honestly been a good bit of fun and always lets me appreciate the use of the property much more than going in...

    Future of Jurassic Park (IOA)

    I wanted to bring up something fun I saw around the land on my last visit, and saw that the only two remotely active threads about JP at USF were the Velocicoaster and JPRA threads. While those work for most discussions, I think with the newly refreshed Discovery Center, all of Camp Jurassic...

    USH Planning - Everything but the parks!

    Hey all, I'm in the early stages of trying to plan a visit to USH recently, potentially for around HHN time. It would be my first trip to that specific park, but I feel like I can probably manage most of the planning when it comes to tickets and rides and shows and the like. My main question...

    Flight of Passage

    Considered leaving this in the General Avatar DAK thread but saw that River Journey has had a seperate thread for some time now so :kissing: I was surprised when a friend and I rode FoP the other week with only a 35 minute wait. Not because of the outlier wait time, it was a very slow day at...

    Expedition Everest - Legend of the Forbidden Mountain

    Surprised there wasn't a full thread for this yet. Though, there probably isn't too much to discuss nowadays. I did notice in the queue for this ride, they added a couple of pamphlets branded as Nat Geo in the Expedition Company offices. Subtle and neat little brand integration. And I was...

    Universal Studios & Harry Potter: Endgame?

    Here's a question I have for anyone that might know, I have heard in the past that Universal has a contract with WB/JKR from back around the IoA days that they do not want to renegotiate due to how lopsided the deal would be against Universal, with each of their Florida parks including a large...

    Lakeland Antique Mall

    Not to ruin anyone's private hunting ground for Orlando theme park props, but if you haven't heard of it before, the Lakeland Antique Mall is great! It's a big store with a whole bunch of booths with a large variety of real cool stuff, but for the purposes of a lot of IU members I imagine the...

    How did you close out HHN 32?

    I figure there were some rumblings of people doing this so I figure this could be a fun way to gather some stories together! If you were at the event until closing time at 2am on November 4th, what House, Zone, Show, character encounter, cast, etc did you choose to close out with? Why did you...

    VR in Theme and Amusement Parks

    The trend definitely seems to be on a downturn as of late with more rides removing their VR components, or VR ride concepts being scrapped entirely. However, it was only 2 years ago that Universal was planning adding a VR attraction to USF to replace a live theatre attraction, only a few years...

    The Ride System Thread

    Alternate Thread Title; What is, and what isn't, a SCOOP? :lmao: I very often see ride systems catagorized with specific terms by fans, with the most common verbage being to label attractions as "SCOOP's" or using a "Modified SCOOP system". This feels like a side of theme park discussion that...

    Death Eaters at Diagon Alley

    I am a fan of the effect these guys have on the Diagon Alley area. Definitely help fill the land with some energy that previous years haven't had. I also really love the crates filled with green lighting and fog machines which arguably do just as much to make the Diagon area feel that much spookier.

    M3gan Horde

    So apparently they were out yesterday for opening but only for a photo op. I was able to catch a look at the group and costumes and they look pretty cool! Excited to see them hopefully perform tonight!!

    Was the "Beastly Kingdom became Lost Continent" story ever verified?

    With the new Dueling Dragons-themed Horror Nights house this year, I was digging back through some old theme park history and kept bumping into this same story again and again. The story goes that Disney Imagineers working at Animal Kingdom designed Beastly Kingdom as one of the headlining lands...

    Disney Parks Build Timelines

    I feel like every time I have popped into a Disney parks thread there is one issue that will consistently be cited, no matter what park or where in the world it is. Cause of that, I feel like it might be worth exploring Disney Park's build timelines a little more specifically. Honestly, it's...

    A question on Forum Backups!

    Just a casual thought but one that I also thought was important enough to ask, I was curious how or if this forum is backed up over time? There's certainly a lot of discussion on these boards and has been for pretty much decades now. I'd say some of this is important theme park history when it...

    Longtime Mobile site issue!

    Hey! For a while now I've had an issue where I'll be using the mobile version of the site on my Iphone's Safari app. It usually runs just fine, but on this site specifically it will occasionally completely reload the whole site without warning. No reason why it does it to my knowledge. I...

    What rides would be considered "Story Coasters"?

    I was driving down I-4 today and saw the big billboard for Hagrid's listing it as the "Most Thrilling Story Coaster". It probably isn't this deep, but I honestly haven't heard this term used very widely so it got me to thinking about what other rides would be put in this subgenre of amusement...
