Very cool! I'll have to check it out later. Doing any kind of large scale project in that game takes FOREVER!

I honestly think your kind of splitting hairs here, you've taken one thing that you think Universal does better and pretty much have shunned Disney for it. Don't get me wrong I love the rides at Universal but from a visual stand point the place is a dump. Go stand in the line for spider-man or...

I definitely see what your saying, that does make a lot of sense. Not for me personally though. I make a habit of going to Disney in the off seasons. I think the most I've ever spent to fly me and my wife down via Southwest was $400 round trip. With gas prices this year though it looks like its...

I am a YouTube partner myself, not on a very big scale though. It is actually against the partner agreement to attempt to make money off of things you don't own. I feel like these videos would fall in to this category. Granted they own the video but they are clearly taping something they do not...

Just out of curiosity, is it really economical to drive anymore with gas prices? I feel like you could easily get round trip airfare for what it's going to cost you to drive and be there is much less time. I'm not sure how it is around the country right now but you can't get anything less then...

Every ride outside of Harry Potter at Universal looked like it hadn't been painted in 8+ years. Every time I'm in Disney they are putting a fresh coat of paint on something. There's no way to deny that Disney's upkeep up their property is 10 fold better.

I really enjoy some of the rides at Universal.. The Hulk, Spiderman, the new Harry Potter ride, etc. but to me the feel and quality/upkeep of Universal seems a lot cheaper. Everything is Disney always looks brand new and fresh. Universal feels like you took a trip down to the shady side of town...

I think they should redo the street section. The castle was very cool but the rest seemed very disappointing for me. It felt very much like what it was, an over the top refurbishment of an old area. The shops were way too small (which I know isn't Universal's fault), and the re-branding of a few...

That's horrible. It's sad that things like that happen even down in Disney World but thief's are everywhere I suppose. I can definitely relate. I work in downtown DC and it's actually shocking not to see at least some sort of crime happen through out the day. I've personally been assaulted twice...

For me it's the cigar shop and the bars. After a long day at the parks I can just kind of chill out and have a drink.

Coming from a lot of us customer service jobs myself I can tell you it is much better to quote longer then it's going to take you and finish quicker (You look like a hero most times) then quote exactly what you think it's going to take you and end up being wrong.

I'm sure this was mentioned already but I know there is a hidden hallway that only employee's can use. Someone was nice enough to take a youtube video of it for us. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zc570IA5_Lk

Very cool, I can also tell you that the guy who does the voice while your in line waiting is Patrick Warburton who does a lot of cartoon voice overs but the role he is most known for is Joe Swanson on Family Guy.

I read a lot about this topic last year as I wanted to go to Universal as well. I can tell you for sure though that the cheapest way is simply to take a taxi.

Late nights in Epcot! I walked to each country and did a shot and actually ended up getting a free shot in Sweden. :D
