Islands of Adventure Thunder Falls Terrace (quick-service, chicken) <SUP></SUP>Confisco Grille (full-service, great selection) Three Broomsticks (mixed-service, British feast) Mythos (upscale full-service) Universal Studios Beverly Hills Boulangerie (quick-service croissant sandwiches)...

It's true. Currently on a test basis through the holidays. http://attractionsmagazine.com/blog/2010/12/14/triceratops-attraction-at-islands-of-adventure-reopens-after-many-years/

Optical zoom means the lens is physically moving and zooming in. Digital zoom is where the camera digitally zooms into the image (blows it up) internally causing artifacts, and poor quality. Personally I'd never use digital zoom as it degrades the photos too much.

They do make little shorts of them for the event and the website...

I understand the purpose of the online store (money) however I still feel it was a bad move... The whole purpose of Potter was so people had to be there to get stuff... I was also upset when I saw items in Citywalk and at the Studios... Wish it was a little more exclusive...

There was nothing new about Everest except a great AA that you see for 0.23 seconds as you zoom by it, and most of the time it isn't even working. People complain about Revenge of the Mummy always having a broken Mummy AA, but I think the Yeti sees more downtime. Other than the mountain and...

AA-heavy rides like PotC and HM are fun, but they're not engaging. I still love those rides, but I've been there, done that 1000s of times and yes, have the shirt. Rides like Dinosaur, Indiana Jones, Spider-Man and now Forbidden Journey are more engaging, interactive rides. You're no longer just...

Yes, it's so they can have both coasters sync'd on the track to give a full experience during the near-misses. The reason they don't have it wait at the load platform is so they can continue to move the other trains forward. There could be a train waiting at the unload platform and a third...

Having been on it several times now, I will say that it is not perfect, however, it's damn close and the problems I have could easily be fixed in a rehab. With that said, the attraction is Spider-Man meets Soarin' on a Sum of All Thrills vehicle. It's amazing, and fantastic and pretty much the...

The nifty-fifty (50 f/1.8) is a fantastic lens for the price! I had one myself (have since upgraded to the 50 f/1.4) and used it often at Disney. Prime lenses are a real personal choice as a lot of people don't like having a fixed lens. But personally, I enjoy prime lenses because they allow you...

From what I've heard the seats are slightly larger than Sum of All Thrills. I've been on both but didn't notice much of a difference. They're very similar so if you can fit on Sum, then it would be strange for you not to fit on FJ.

Forbidden Journey has been a 45-90min wait pretty much all week. As for the wands, it depends if you want to see Olivander's show, or just buy a wand. Just buying a wand is like any other store, but the show can be a 15-60min wait depending on the time and day...

Almost all rides have restrictions, especially height restrictions. Think of Warwick Davis, do you think he got to ride FJ? Should Universal design a seat specifically for people that are under the height restriction allowing them the opportunity to ride? You can't please everybody all the...
