    News Disney Files New Patent for Ride System That Can Lift and Reposition Vehicles Mid-Attraction

    This feels a bit like Disney have made a better version of Universal’s Donkey Kong mine cart.

    Which park needs the most urgent attention?

    I find it interesting how people can say that Epcot has a lot to do compared to Animal Kingdom when the actual ride count isn't that different. A lot of Epcot is filled with the world showcase pavilions, a lot of Animal Kingdom is the animal exhibits and shows. If you take the time out to...

    Which park needs the most urgent attention?

    Yes I think the only "urgent" thing at Animal Kingdom is to add a night show and talk-up the animal attractions so people actually go to them. Epcot needs more overall work, Imagination needs fixing and they need to plus some of the World Showcase pavilions with rides or shows. Hollywood...

    Epic Universe is the lowest rated theme park in Orlando

    We did it, took our time doing rides, filled up freestyle cups and took breaks, stopped for ice cream (although they really need to add a scoop shop), took time for dinner and lunch (the quick service hybrid places are great), played the powerband games and just soaked it all in before ending...

    Rumor Eventual Fast & Furious: Supercharged Replacement

    No the ba-da-daaaa-da of the Universal Globe theme at the end of the fountains show is perfect. Would be more strange if it wasn’t used.

    Refurbishment coming to Disney's Grand Floridian Resort lobby

    You can get three course dinner at California Grill for $99, or at Artist Point with characters for $69. $79 is a lot of money for cakes and sandwiches plus a pot of tea. Maybe if there was characters it would be worth it, but even for Disney this is overpriced.

    Also Jurassic Park is a seven film franchise now.

    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...
