Wandered onto this ride without doing any prior research, I had no idea it existed and presumed it was permanent, glad to hear it's temporary. I quite liked finding the Groots, and didn't mind the fellow guardians making cameos, the little rocket racoon with the rocket propelled gondola was...

Small world, I have an ancient RCCGB lanyard strap tied around my baggage handles so I can spot it at airports, will have to be careful Chris Sawyer doesn't go taking my bags by accident 🕵️‍♂️ Back to the job advert, I saw someone at universal re-posted it on LinkedIn and said it would be...

I have 15 years+ playing roller coaster tycoon, so no point anyone else applying.

What a letdown, It doesn't even look as big as the splash mountain drop, and that's before you find out all the amazing stuff every other park is getting in comparison.

Has the same feeling a lot of other rides have after a re-theme, you can tell the ride came first and the story was laid on top, the final drop being a metaphor for making a splash at the party makes no sense. The new animatronics are neat, but that's unfortunately undermined by the use of...

New name is uninspired and generic, which to be blunt, will probably suit the park given how they are basically throwing a bunch of cloned attractions at it for the next few years. The main park is already an E-ticket or two short given it's size, and lacking water rides, so Frozen Ever After...

Didn't the imagineers behind Beastly Kingdom get so annoyed they went and built Island of Adventure's Lost Continent region instead? maybe this Avengers E-ticket will somehow end up as an opening day DC comics attraction at Universal London...

You'll have no problem at all, especially at a Disney resort. I still have my pride lanyard I got there last time I went! Go peeve Ron off by having an amazing holiday and being yourself.

About time Merlin had some competition, they have a near monopoly since they purchased Thorpe Park and the UK amusement park sector is all the worse for it, poorly maintained and greedy business practices (double the price, then put 50% off vouchers on everything etc). Really hope Universal UK...

They have bag checks between the station and park, and also between the hotels and the shopping area. The protesters just opened up the railing and walked in, with the security chap stationed to ensure guests don't do that, not doing anything. So they ended up skipping the bag check (but a lot...

That stretching room picture is pretty awesome, I was at the park yesterday and it doesn't seem to have impacted queue times at all. Could mean fewer people in the park to balance it out, but from what I can tell it's mostly service and entertainment workers as opposed to ride operators. Was odd...

I saw some drones buzzing over the area yesterday, now I know why!

With the dollar being so strong against the euro, a lot of folk cannot afford a trip to AK anymore. I think Pandora would be a good fit for DLRP, large outdoor spaces to soak up visitors, and 2+ indoor rides suitable for European winters. The other option I can see working is a large indoor...

Pandora, with a plussed version of river journey with drops to make up for no Splash. Plus the movies will be coming out for almost the next decade so plenty of hype to ride. Star Wars is a waste of time, they have run the franchise into the ground, and they would never invest the same amount...

I was fortunate to go in 1982 and EPCOT was (and still is) my favourite park, I like that it felt like a real possible future and not a whimsical fairytale one; unfortunately all the recent changes have chipped away at that and now it's just Disneyland with better food. The music in 1982 was...
