I mean, isn't that confirmation enough?
Well Universal has yet to make an official statement.

For anyone who wants to wait until Universal actually comes out and issues a press release that 100% confirms the attraction in a public fashion should be aware that this company very rarely operates like this nowadays.
A great quote I've always heard was that "Disney is announcing things way before building them and Universal is building things way before announcing them."
That's kind of the way things are. Kong looked like Skull Island in construction so far along before the PR that the president of Comcast, forgetting that they still hadn't announced it, accidentally name dropped the ride in an earnings call! And yes: at the time Universal Orlando even refused to acknowledge they were even building a King Kong ride! The project was referred to officially as "expansion" in front of guests... that's it. Sometimes just "what? What's over there? I don't see anything over there".
My point here is that IU holds their reputation very dear, and I would 100% trust them on this one. Waiting for Universal themselves is going to be a long wait, so I would sit back and enjoy the PR tap dance til they finally confirm, "Yeah ok we're doing something here."
Unless it gets leaked to the LA Times again...
While that is true, IU has a reputable past with rumors like this. For instance, when they got word of Supercharged before the announcement came around. But, I will need to stress that this was originally from OI;
This is not true. They said nothing of the sort about Hollywood.
And I was stressing OI from when they spoke of SLOP (It was a month before you guys picked it up).
One thing I was thinking about recently... is there any word what happened to the old Phantom of the Opera sets that were in there? I understand back when it was being torn down, they were going to preserve it, and possibly put it up on display... somewhere. But I've never heard any sort of follow up since. Anyone know more?
Can you at least say if it'll be in the park or at an off-site location? And any time estimate of when? Unless they only showed a small portion of it, I can't imagine they'd have the space to display it in the park.
I never got to see it in person, so I'd really look forward to the day to be able to see it.
If they were being taken care of & not forgotten, they would still be in place where they belong on the plot of land they were built upon 90 years ago. But that's just me being grumpy. Comcast really doesn't seem to care too much about Universal's monster legacy. -shrugs-
Would be great if they could find the chandelier that used to be hanging inside the former SS. I know a lot of the set was removed over the years, so the only thing remaining was the box seats that lined the walls. Such a shame. At least the remnants of the set got some sprucing up for "The Muppets" movie.
From that review, the movie sounds like I expected it to be. Aside from a few cute laughs here/there... it sounds kinda meh. I almost wish we were getting a ride based on the old "Cats & Dogs" movie instead...
