    Universal rumored to be in talks with Elon Musk’s Boring Co.

    Theme it to Mario going TO Epic... Theme it to the Chamber of Secrets going back to Citywalk

    Rumor Eventual Fast & Furious: Supercharged Replacement

    Oh I loathe that attraction so I'm with you there. What I'm saying is that they can build attractions with 15-20 year shelf lives...they don't need to be "timeless." Toon Lagoon isn't exactly "in its prime" and in the summer those lines are LONG! There is a difference between making a bad...

    Rumor Eventual Fast & Furious: Supercharged Replacement

    For those that say, "property "X" shouldn't get an attraction because it isn't timeless" Does something in this day and age need to be timeless? What kind of shelf life do these attractions need? Aside from ET, are there any other opening day rides at USF? Jimmy Fallon certainly isn't...

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

    It's a win-win in my book. You get a coaster based on a franchise that Universal owns which will live up to its name. It'll be fast and furious. It replaces a coaster that, IMO, was one of the most unappealing coasters from an aesthetics point of view (It was just an ugly coaster). It allows...

    Rip Ride Rockit Permanently Closing August 18 2025

    They absolutely need to change the ride system. It's not good. I don't care how you retheme that, it's just not fun and the views are so obstructed depending on where you sit. F&tF Supercharged needs to be completely gutted and a new system put in place....but how much room is there to do that?

    Mine-Cart Madness vs TRON Lightcycle / Run

    I agree about the kinetics but for a company that touts the story as being the most important thing, going into the Grid, hopping on a lightcycle to then be launched out of the grid to go "wheeeeee" and then back into the grid where the story kicks back in seems like a big break in that cohesive...

    Mine-Cart Madness vs TRON Lightcycle / Run

    I voted for Mine-Cart Madness. While I do think Tron is more "enjoyable" from a ride standpoint (DK is rough!), the theming of DK and overall feel of DK is better than Tron. I still don't understand why we go outside on Tron. It makes no sense from a story point of view and that length of...

    Monsters Unchained is a return to form for theme park attractions

    Monsters is awesome. The queue is so well themed and interesting in all spaces. My only gripe (aside from a few sightline issues) is that Ygor was CGI. Having met him outside, it would've been nice to have had a real actor in the film rather than CGI.

    News Warner Bros. Explores Licensing DC Rides to Universal Parks

    While I know they really can't do anything to Marvel Superhero Island without Disney being ok with it but wouldn't it be better to keep MSI to prevent Disney from building Marvel and then build DC out at USHollywood to compete against Disney's Marvel, the UK park, or another site at Orlando? On...

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

    Agreed. The Great Dining Hall would need to be almost set up like a dinner show. Maybe they could do each meal to a different show and then change the show up for Halloween and Christmas.

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

    A flat ride based on the Whomping Willow could work in Hogsmeade. A walkthrough attraction based on the Chamber of Secrets (Maybe after you've cast enough spells throughout the lands, a new area opens up) Quidditch ride (Ministry of Magic) Wizard Training in Diagon. (Similar to Lightsaber...

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

    Agreed...I'd rather a Wonka land. Just seems like it could be the Seuss-esque land of the Studios. I'd hold off on any new lands for Epic and just add on with a boat ride in Dark Universe, the broom ride (not VR) for Potter, and then a people-eater for Nintendo.

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

    I saw a video posted that one of the flying dragons was out testing. Was this an old video or did it recently take place?

    Any word on the Burning Blade Tavern? Have the sails and the fire returned?
