    Jungle Cruise movie and it's effect on attraction

    They've attempted recorded spiels before but it never worked.

    Universal Studios: ‘Bourne Stuntacular’ to open in spring of 2020

    We're all assuming Universal wanted to change the attraction to something completely different and wasn't forced to... ;)

    Terminator 2:3D Refurbishment?

    Is that Hollywood's Kimberly?

    Why do they do that?

    I never asked guests to move towards the center of the room at tower because the details among the room are so amazing. The lightbulb thing is totally accurate, but fear not there are two libraries so it doesn't really affect the boiler room that much.

    Why do they do that?

    I also believe there are sensors which prohibit the doors from opening and closing of people are too near them.

    Breakdown At Test Track Leads To Guest Leaving Vehicle By Cutting Through Seat Belt

    A lady pulled a similar stunt on foxtrot in the corridor scene. She was never caught though. There were a series of door intrusions and the route she used to exit was easily seen, but she got away.

    Control Booth Screen In HM Loading Area

    Unless the attraction is not very complicated (for attractions, at least), it's going to interface with multiple different systems all of which may run unique operating systems. Also, most likely, for safety, security, and stability, the panel you see CMs/TMs operating from will not be where...

    Tower Of Terror (UPDATED, PLEASE REREAD)

    Riding from unload to load is something that used to be done during training (can't speak for if it's done now). There are cameras which monitor the AGVs entering the load lift VVCs on the unload floor, not to mention the cameras in the load lift VVCs. To my knowledge, there are no attractions...

    Tower Of Terror (UPDATED, PLEASE REREAD)

    http://towersecrets.com/how-the-tower-of-terror-works/ <-- great site with lots of accurate information As for the control panels, I still feel this is not the place or the time to discuss the actual buttons or layout, much less what they do. Short of actually being a bellhop, knowing exactly...

    Tower Of Terror (UPDATED, PLEASE REREAD)

    An estop at any attraction has different, but similar consequences-- all motion stops. Period. Some attractions will kill show effects, some also turn on work lights, some just close all breaks. It's been a while since I've watched Martin's ToT video, but I'm fairly certain it shows footage of...

    Tower Of Terror (UPDATED, PLEASE REREAD)

    I'd love to talk about the panels, but I think any more information about it would be borderline and not purposeful. Most of what I've said can be viewed in Martin's Ultimate Tribute to ToT. I highly recommend watching it!

    Tower Of Terror (UPDATED, PLEASE REREAD)

    Unless the bellhop disables the doors (which is possible) or one of a few other situations, the doors will always open when the VVC is at load with an AGV in it. This is a safety feature should anyone be in the AGV. I'm saying this as a former bellhop who has ridden the AGV from unload to...

    Control Booth Screen In HM Loading Area

    I think this is a very good description of ride controls. It's a bunch of systems which normally wouldn't talk to each other, talking to each other. As for the OS, it all depends on the system. Most of the systems at Tower of Terror run/ran Windows XP when I was there.

    Can WDW Cast Members Relate to Undercover Boss

    The show is about executives who don't spend enough time on the frontlines and in their place of business. I can't begin to even count the number of times I've seen Phil Holmes in the park, or the other VPs. Same with Iger. I ran into him working at Jungle and all I remember was him...

    Absolutely Amazing! :lol:

    D'Vine voices debut at Epcot

    I have to say I was unimpressed with them (video and live). While, as a group, they are very talented, there was a lack of energy to be felt. It was very nice to see a live band and to see that stage in use. I think they might be a better fit for somewhere else in the resort. Oh, and I do...

    WDI currently working on Jungle Cruise

    A good Cruise will be one where the Jungle gets a nice refurb and the skipper remembers that they're only part of the show. That or with Jeff Lessel or Babs. Or Rhonda (when she does her spiel on parking trams...:lookaroun)

    What is it the Universal does BETTER than Disney?

    Care to bet on that? I can think of three examples of lighting left up during non-party nights off the top of my head. Oh, and let's not mention the giant Stitch inflatable. Or the green lights in Liberty Square. Do I need to go on...?

    Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit?

    Would you rather it be closed to the public still?

    Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit?

    Between yesterday and today, I was lucky enough to ride it several times. It's awesome! Honestly my favorite parts are the entrances to the brake runs-- just whips ya right up there. The music you choose makes or breaks the ride. Busy Child was awesome, Sabatoge was cool, but my favorite (by...
