What poor children have to return to school during late July? The earliest it's gotten around here is mid August.

Many of the schools around here (IE) return the week of August 5th. Some start one week prior at the end of July. Mid August was a few years ago, but they all recently adjusted their school year by about 2 weeks.

I love Goofy '76, Hanna Barbera '79 and Offended ''84. By comparison, 2014 looks kinda generic!

What happened in 1984 haha

I think that is when Shamu from Sea World took over while Bruce was on vacation.

Chino Valley USD starts August 12th.

The original shark looks more threatening. I get that it's a goofy thing when it pops out at the cars, but the more recent ones look like the shark is taking a selfie.

I forgot the shark from 2015. (Directed by Max Speilberg)

That's when my school starts as well.

Honestly, if I started seeing kids earlier than that after getting out the first week of June, I'd probably quit and do something less stressful than teaching.

Most in my area get out of school late May now.

I think this might be my favorite thing ever to appear at a Universal park. Gee, how hard would it be for Disney to create a baby Bantha or Dewback walk-around like this? Monumentally hard, inconceivable and budget-breaking, apparently?

'84 is right out of Finding Nemo.

This really does seem like an obvious move that they should have taken and Universal using it first comes off a bit like egg on their face. It reminds me of when I was at Citywalk last week and happened to catch the aerial finale of Universal's "Dark Arts" show. I don't want to spoil the surprise for those who haven't heard, but as for me I was awestruck. That's a feeling that I keep waiting on Disney to inspire within me.

The ride is currently allowing TMs and VIPs on... Photo area just opened... I think softs will begin shortly.

Jurassic World soft opened.

Thoughts?

It's pretty much the same ride just with a different beginning and end and a blander middle section. I think the new first scene is done really well and the new ending is cool I guess but not really what I was expecting based off of the leaks prior to ride opening.

Is it weird that I don’t want to see Jurassic World spoilers but I was fine seeing all the SWL and Falcon spoilers? To be fair, I probably wouldn’t want to see any ROTR spoilers

It's the best theme park reskin with a video of Chris Pratt in it.

So are you saying I might as well watch?

I'm just slighting Mission Breakout. It's really nothing too special and certainly not as charming as Jurassic Park.
