Universal needs to be careful, because the way people are currently sick of 3-D and screens, the next thing they might get sick of is more Potter.

I heard "More Nintendo ASAP" and MiB looked like where it was going to land. Supposedly to open about a year after phase 1. If they shove the start of phase one back a year, then it all starts at the same time.This could tie into Disneyhead's 1.25 statement he made earlier with Nintendo using the expansion pads early as well.
If E.T. and MIB are going down at the same time, YIKES. They need to get going on MOM and SLOP.
Not really. One of them is in a different park, and the other won't have anywhere near the capacity of MIB or E.T. in a given day.Thinking, if (and this is IF), wouldn't they be fine with the opening of the T2 replacement and the Forbidden Forest for 2019?

And, ET may be on the chopping block again too...
Leaving the flagship park with none of the attractions that made it the flagship park.
Those rides weren’t doing squat to bring people in for a good decade in the aughts.
Maybe it’s time for people to realize the classic Universal attractions were a niche product in the last years of their lives.
More Nintendo would make it more of a flagship park than ET ever could.Leaving the flagship park with none of the attractions that made it the flagship park.
Heck, people have been trying to figure out when Kid Zone is closing for the last four years. I seriously doubt anyone has any real info on ET staying, closing or when. It's just personal speculation on individual poster's part.How much longer would you all say E.T. has, then? Asking for a friend.
If E.T. can just last until the end of 2019, when a close friend of mine's first trip to Florida will be, than I'll be okay. The original E.T. is her favorite film.Heck, people have been trying to figure out when Kid Zone is closing for the last four years.

I'd say ET had a bit of an advantage because it was literally the only gentle ride at the parks back in the day..Those rides weren’t doing squat to bring people in for a good decade in the aughts.

What? You don't like Sears mannequins on a turntable? Or is it the alien acid trip that needs work in you eyes?If they tore out the bulk of ET's scenes and redid them as new construction today with updated effects and techniques, it'd be a nifty little ride. The ride system and concept isnt inherently flawed.

They did add LED strobe light flashes to the alien party scene to give the illusion of more action going on a few years ago, so there's *some* new technology for you.
