    News Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift coming to Universal Orlando in 2027

    This is where I think if they are keeping the buses then ghostbusters makes the most sense as it doesn't need speed, you don't travel fast in New York really anyway, so following the Ghostbusters and some kind of ghost capture on screens makes sense. Add some practical sparks and similar...

    Rip Ride Rockit Permanently Closing August 18 2025

    If they were doing BTTF I think it would be a coaster with the launch to 88mph and this seems to be shown on the UK park concept art. But the existing Fast and Furious could easily be replaced with the same ride system to a Ghostbusters bus tour.

    Epic Universe is the lowest rated theme park in Orlando

    There are four shows, a drawing class, train ride, two large animal trails, character meets, plus the six rides (soon to be eight). I found just trying to schedule all the shows and get the animal exhibits done before sunset filled most of the day.

    Epic Universe is the lowest rated theme park in Orlando

    But its not that "its a half day park" its that guests are choosing to only experiance half the attractions and not spend a full day there.

    Epic Universe is the lowest rated theme park in Orlando

    I spent about ten hours at Animal Kingdom a few months ago and that was with short wait times for most things. If you actually do all the shows and attractions it really isn't a half-day. Would be like saying Magic Kingdom is a half-day park because you only want to ride Big Thunder and Space...

    2025 was an awful year

    Likewise, this year was our first trip since 2016, so we had Avatar, Star Wars, Ratatouille and more new attractions. We went the week before thanksgiving and had a great time with few waits and didn't buy any lightning lane.

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    Nope that looks awful. You said dark and grimy and then have a picture of bright red decorations? I don’t think the land needs Christmas.

    Universal UK

    and it was only announced so early because people found out it was Universal buying the land. I don't think they wanted to announce for at least another 6-12 months when the planning and consultation process actually began. Its only looking slow moving because people found out information before...

    Universal UK

    The site is an old brickworks, chance of them finding something that a competent survey hasn’t already found is low and the process isn’t as bad as you make out. Also solar panels don’t need planning permission in almost all cases.

    Does anyone else think Galaxy’s Edge is a misfire?

    Although Islands of Adventure has the same issue. If there are thunderstorms it closes at least half the park.

    New to Disney have a resort question.

    Probably better to look at multiple smaller rooms too, maybe still worth considering the DVC villa resorts, but two two bed villas might be better? Or for another option then multiple family suites at Art of Animation could work too?

    News Guest dies, found unresponsive after riding Stardust Racers

    And Universal have already done this by increasing the restrictions on who can ride.

    News Disney's BoardWalk Inn to Undergo Refurbishment Through 2026

    To be fair, it is the same at the Polynesian and Grand Floridian, there is no connection between the room and the food outlets without going outside.

    What are smart phones required for at Disney Parks?

    Although mobile order won’t always let you order for instant pickup at Disney either. We didn’t use it much because often once we decided where we were eating mobile order had the next available slot over 30 minutes away so the 15 minute cashier line was better.

    News Guest dies, found unresponsive after riding Stardust Racers

    Do you think you could pick out someone having issues from CCTV on a fast moving vehicle? Or are you proposing the train should come to a complete stop at each launch and someone walks the train checking everyone? I didn’t just mention the final brakes, I also said about the launches. Just...
