    Who wants Lord of the Rings at Universal?

    Not happening, but Jurassic Park is being expanded. The expansion won't take up any current land though, it will just expand Jurassic Park into some backstage areas and use up some unused land. Marvel isn't going anywhere.

    New Marvel/Disney comic banner

    So you're a terrible investor then? If you "have little regard for financial reports" then what do you focus on when investing? Magic and dreams?

    Two Spirited Quickees...Imagination closing

    This, a billion times this. Islands of Adventure is my favorite park currently, but EPCOT was my favorite park by a long shot for a long time. Only after revisiting it in recent years has it fallen so dramatically to MAYBE #5. The park was built on wonder and discovery, and now it's just...

    Who wants Lord of the Rings at Universal?

    They also then posted on twitter that people should "read between the lines" on that article. The only time they said "LOTR is coming to Disney" is when they said that another website said that. They then went on to list a ton of reasons why LOTR probably won't come to Disney and that Universal...

    I'm pretty sure the last few posts of his, he said he wouldn't go trespassing.

    Disney and Universal: Two very different paths

    That's fair, but Universal didn't expand while Disney was because Universal didn't have the funds to expand. Disney isn't expanding here because they don't want to. The difference here is entirely in the culture of the situation. Universal has capital to spend and they're spending it to expand...

    Hogwarts Express Backstage Photos

    I just realized this rumor is now 20+ years in the making. Oh man.

    Change of plans.....

    I completely forgot about the express pass! Yes, that alone is worth the extra 80$ if you are staying on site!

    Universal First Timers - Where to start

    Make sure you plan for two days at the resort, at least. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is incredible, but Universal has plenty of other amazing attractions too that you really should not miss out on. Transformers just opened and it's amazing, even if you dislike the movies. Personally, I...

    Change of plans.....

    If you're staying on a Universal on site hotel, that 80$ extra is easily worth the price. Otherwise, you're still getting an alright deal, but not incredible. The Dining plan is simply OK, but the early access is pretty great. The hotels on I-Drive are fine if you just want a hotel to sleep at...

    Hogwarts Express Backstage Photos

    I have no idea what I'm talking about, getting that out of the way up front, but I half expected them to re-purpose the model car that's already on site. But of course they wouldn't do that, it's ridiculous and gets rid of a great photo op. Things this post have accomplished - 0 (but I'm still...

    Universal came conquered and will wait another 15 years to go back!!!

    Somebody with the username "Mickeysbrother" posts a thread about how Universal is basically Six Flags and that spurs 8 pages of discussions. This forum falls for troll bait really, really easily. Hell, even if it's not a standard troll, it's pretty obvious from his write up that he went in...

    Spirited News, Observations & Thoughts IV

    Uhhh there's a lot of anger and vitriol here for a message board that discusses THEME PARKS. Calm it down people.

    Spirited News, Observations & Thoughts IV

    Despite the justified complaining you do about the resort, this attitude just encourages them to do the same thing you're complaining about. If people are complaining about a product, hate what a product is doing, and hate how that product is evolving, but continue to support the product that...

    Spirited News, Observations & Thoughts IV

    Close the internet, somebody just equated Disney World to 1984. Are you serious right now or is this the best troll post to ever exist? I mean are you ACTUALLY trying to equate a vacation resort to a dystopian future novel where people are monitored 24/7 and those who disagree are killed?

    Universal to get $500 million

    But then that data sticks around when you leave their property, and just in case you didn't know, Disney has other departments besides Parks and Recreation.

    Universal to get $500 million

    Yes, because "if you don't like it you can get out" is something that helps. Criticism helps, Disney could spend a half hour on these forums and know exactly why people are upset. Walking away and ignoring the problem just help the problem spread.

    Universal to get $500 million

    I used to despise that hat so much, now I don't even care, not like I'll be seeing it around anytime soon. But I'll be in Orlando next week to see Springfield.

    Universal to get $500 million

    When people talk about it being "too late" for Disney, I'm assuming people mean that the Disney World vacation will become the Orlando vacation, with Universal and Disney taking up equal parts of the vacation. Something like that was unheard of even six years ago, with Florida vacations usually...
