    Save the Adventurers Club

    I have the same exact piggy bank version in the picture, purchased about 6 months ago. Got it for $18 I believe, and I think the website was entertainmentearth.com. All sorts of cool Indy stuff.

    Universal Hollywood vs. Universal Orlando: need some opinions

    I would rank IOA first, and both studios evenly actually, but they're 2 very different experiences. I'm a huge film fan, so Hollywood is great for me as their main focus always has been and will be the backlot tour. It's awesome to see the sets and the film history in person, especially when you...

    Just back from 4 days at Universal

    I've read many of your pro-universal posts before, so I have to start off by saying I'm shocked at your review, but glad to see you're being open minded in flaws regarding both resorts. I'm very pro-universal myself. It seems that most of your negative points focus on RPR, I've never stayed...

    Man injured on Dragon Challenge.

    Don't get me wrong, sad to see it go. It was awesome seeing the dueling as a spectator. But as others said, while you're actually riding it, you get more joy in focusing on whats going on in your car then the one you only glimpse a few times during the ride. Now, if they could only add some...

    Will We EVER See Eddie Murphy In HM?

    Please no. Just....... No.

    Man injured on Dragon Challenge.

    Agreed. Especially now that they're not even called "Dueling" Dragons anymore, I don't think anyone will even think twice about after a few months.

    Potter power: Universal sets 12-month attendance record.

    Yeah, thought about doing 3 days as well, but I actually want to relax for a bit on this vacation which I usually forget to do. HHN looks decent this year. We went for 18 and 19 and it was awesome. Who knows, if I find extra cash we may end up going again after all.

    Potter power: Universal sets 12-month attendance record.

    Yay! Just booked our trip about an hour ago. Staying within walking distance of Universal and spending the whole trip there. I finally get to see WWOHP. Hoping the crowds won't be too bad, we're going to be there during opening weekend of HHN but decided to skip it this time. Last minute trip so...

    TWDC reports third-quarter profits

    Count two guests from my household. Just came into an unexpected bonus from work that helped make a quick trip to Florida a reality. Haven't seen WWOHP yet, so that's one day. For our 2nd day just decided today we're just going to Universal or HHN, or maybe even just a 2nd day at IOA. We decided...

    Pizza Planet removed?

    I'd love to see more muppets. Period. If it's a resteraunt, fine, but I'd prefer a ride. Especially after reading about the Great Muppet Movie Ride concept that got abandoned. I think that would be awesome, and if it's built as a parody of popular movies it could stand the test of time, even if...

    Disney Inspired Rooms

    I talked my wife into allowing me to theme the basement bar to Indiana Jones when we moved into our first house in October. My plans for it were too big and expensive, so I negotiated the rights with her to also allow me to theme the library. In return she can do whatever she wants with the rest...

    Interesting rumors about marvel in dl & wdw

    Yeah, with the "family" rule and the Avengers, that covers about 75% of the Marvel universe since just about everyone was a member at one time or another. And the other 25% would fall under the X-Men family.

    Interesting RnRC Rumor

    If that's true, that's pretty smart, especially considering your stereotypical rockstar. Has me intrigued with all of the possibilities. Or maybe the legend spun off of the planning they did for DCA when they were considering adding a clone, but with a "No Doubt" theme instead. Or maybe from the...

    First Time at Universal Sept 16/17 - Any tips?

    Buy the 2 Day-2 park tickets because if it's slow, you may be able to do both in a day, but if it's your first time maybe not. If I remember right though, it isn't that huge of a price difference, and if you end up with extra time on your last day you can jump back to a different park for your...

    If I only had two hours?

    Ride Haunted Mansion and Pirates as many times as I possibly could in those 2 hours. I would even break my "laziness" rule and run as fast as possible between them to squeeze an extra ride or two in.

    Rank the Orlando 7

    1.) Islands of Adventure (and I've yet to even see WWOHP) 2.) Magic Kingdom 3.) Universal Studios 4.) Animal Kingdom (great park, awesome potential, just wish there was more to do) 5.) Hollywood Studios 6.) Sea World (only been once though) 7.) Epcot I expect to get hatred for my...

    Interesting rumors about marvel in dl & wdw

    Question Sorry to resurrect this thread and beat a dead horse, but had a few thoughts, and alot of you know more about the contracts then I do. Disney isn't allowed to do Marvel attractions in WDW, but does that include displaying props from their own Marvel movies? Like replacing the ancient...

    If you could......

    An Indiana Jones ride. As fun and in depth as the one in Cali, but it doesn't necessarily have to be the same ride system or storyline. It would probably fit best at DHS, but think I'd prefer to see it in Adventureland.

    Interesting rumors about marvel in dl & wdw

    Ah, got it. Like the Kiss coffin. I thought you were alluding to kids having an influence on George Lucas and some of his more brilliant marketing tactics. Such as Jar Jar. I don't even want to get started on Jar Jar.

    Magic...it seems to be slipping...

    I completely agree, except I'd say it's more like 25% rude guests. Like the parents who use their children as human hostages or battering rams to get to the front of the parade route. We don't have or want children, but it doesn't mean we're not respectful of the little ones when we go, so I'll...
