I still think I have to digest it a bit to fully grasp what was going on but I think it starts with the employees. Don’t get me wrong, some of them seemed to be really into their job, but I noticed a significant number that where CLEARLY not wanting to be there. I would say the majority where as...

Completely agree with your assessment on Disney. Their addition and direction seems short sighted, but it really doesn’t seem any more wrongly aligned then Universal’s does for everything besides their new park. And even that includes a lot of what ifs. It seems like an obvious smash hit, but we...

I really went into it with even more than an open mind I would say, as in a was LOOKING to find things I liked more than Disney. Felt like a more net-negative experience than I was expecting.

Right I think overall Epics going to be a great thing for the theme park community. I also had to keep in mind that Pandora and Galaxys Edge came YEARS after the Harry Potter stuff so they get major props for that. My question I guess I’m trying to figure out is what do people think...

(Bourne was spectacular. All of the main park shows were awesome. A clear area that park exceeds Disney in) I guess my next question for you then would be does one theme park really bring Universal to the level of WDW, even if it is universally considered the best in the world? Prior to...

My wife and I are doing universal for the first time and quite literally just got off transformers. We both had absolutely no clue what was happening. We also rode rise this week and while it for sure has its issues it was much easier to follow from just a story telling standpoint. We clearly...

Visited Monday and today. Smoke effects were down Monday but fixed today. Best show quality I’ve seen in a while with everything working. Still taking good care of the show.

I'm not sure this is a permeant change or not but when we went last week, the entire second act seemed really off to me. Come to find out after referencing a video from earlier this year and from last week that it is completely changed. No vehicle flip, no guns. Again, not sure if it has to do...

Some stray observations: 1) I CANNOT BELIEVE (OK actually I can...) that they just boarded up the actual exhibits. I would assume they're still back there, as they were not exactly able to remove things such as the rainbow tunnel because of the size. They literally just walled them off. 2) I...
