Haven't seen HTF's tweet, but I'm going to guess the 'polarizing' news it the 'polercoaster' announcement.
Not UO related, it's supposed to be on I-Drive.
Just my guess.
Creative, but no.

t4p! everything looks great to me. it must be awkward for them to be filmed as they walk around like that. guess actors are used to it though.
minor question--i thought those were holes drilled in the floor of the entry hall, but the way they were walking over them it appears they are filled now. are they for the magnetic queue poles to be placed on?
? I didn't know they forced guests to ride it now. How inconvenient.
This is my favorite picture that the actors took.
The lack of a real wall effect is for the exact reason you point out, how many people will be walking through.Is anyone else a little disappointed with the "Wall Effect" when you walk into Diagon from the main entrance? It looks a little 'cheap' dare I say!? Also the walkway around the front facade looks kinda tight considering how many will be walking through?
Haven't been but walls should still be up today.how has no one said anything reguarding weather or not London walls have come down or not today.... not on twitter or anywhere...
Hulk is an icon. DC is an inconvenience.
I wouldn't be suprised if DC got the axe or was moved to another location.
London walls are still up according to Twitter
DC is a huge capacity ride, that's the main reason the lines aren't long. With these expansions, and the much larger crowds expected for both parks, it would be tough for Universal to shut down such a large capacity attraction at this time.Steel coasters get sold and moved all the time. I'm sure some other park would be thrilled to get such an awesome coaster. Besides, I've never seen a wait for these coasters that is longer than 20 minutes. Then again, I'lve only been in October.
LOL..at the folks that want to remove one of the most popular coasters in IOA because it "ruins the theming" of a train station. Really guys? . I'd rather they close FJ then DC personally. The only negative about DC is how they completely destroyed the queue theming, and ended the dueling aspect (but that was some jerks fault).
Considering the available space, and how quickly they pulled it off, I can't understand how ANYONE could be disappointed with this expansion. So the train goes backwards? Big deal. It may look silly, but as someone posted earlier, it's not unusual. I've seen trains travel backwards in me kneck of the woods several times. It's such a non-issue.
Just be happy that Universal has the ambition and drive to even put an expansion this large and this ambitious in the first place.

The high capacity is a fair point. But comparing DC to other B&M coasters like Goliath, Scream, etc., you don't see the same popularity and demand. This may be due to the demographic of the park, which is all the more reason to sell it in my opinion. Move it to a more thrill oriented park where you can maximize it's potential. Maybe a Six Flags park can use it to replace one of their overused Batman: The Ride models.
