    Kong - skipping outside portion

    A poster earlier in the thread said it was a shortage of operational trucks, not something wrong with the outside track. Skipping the outdoor portion shortens the ride time for a truck and thus keeps guests moving through the attraction rather than standing around waiting for the few trucks on...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Opens May 22 2025

    The two hotels that aren't the one adjacent to the park will likely be comparable to the Endless Summer hotels, which have fairly boring shapes and limited theming and decoration. Just palm trees. -Rob

    Useless fact for you all...Jardiance Commercial on TV filmed at Universal Orlando

    Though it is a little meta, since the commercial is set of a film set... If looking for other things filmed at the Studios, don't forget the Creed video. -Rob

    Halloween Horror Nights 2023

    I haven't been yet this year, but in the past New York has been the worst area for day guest traffic flow once they start setting up. We made the mistake of going on Mummy right before heading to Stay & Scream and had to backtrack to the street between what's now Minions Cafe and VillainCon...

    Halloween Horror Nights 2023

    Well this is a first AFAIK, especially this early in the season... Frequent Fear passes are *gone*. "humans, frequent fear passes for #hhn32 are now sold out for the remainder of the year but dont fear single night tickets are still available for select nights" -Rob

    Halloween Horror Nights 2023

    With the Rush of Fear pass dates now ended, I'd be interested to hear from someone who's already gone to HHN who is also going back in the next couple weeks to see if there's a change in the crowds. It wouldn't surprise me if there are a bunch of locals who splurge on a multi night ticket but...

    Are Magic Bands still worth it?

    I picked us up a couple of the MNSSHP + bands on clearance last winter for like $15 each and bought some decals online to cover most of the designs. (The edges and one end still showed) Used them in Disneyland back in February, mostly for Bounty Hunters and the light effects during shows. For...

    Halloween Horror Nights 2023

    I think it really depends on how you approach things. With a proper gameplan and use of Stay & Scream, you can really do a lot without the need for Express. My first real HHN was 2019, and we've gone every year since, apart from 2020. We go in late October, get Frequent Fear passes and attend...

    Halloween Horror Nights Advice

    They're usually also looking for people who are distracted/not paying attention to go after. Like people on their phones, or a gaggle of teens preoccupied by everyone talking to each other. If you keep a non-challant look about yourself, and keep yourself aware of where the scareactors are...

    Actors Strike and the Candlelight Processional.

    Correct. Live performance falls under a union like Actors Equity, which is not striking. The key word in SAG is *screen* actors guild... -Rob

    Question about Halloween Horror Nights

    Assuming you don't have daytime admission, you're only going for one night, and won't buy Express Passes, yes, it's invaluable. While long lines will be inevitable, the first 90 minutes of the event are critical to stay ahead of the crowds and knock out 3 or 4 houses. It's also worth having a...

    Question about Halloween Horror Nights

    Minor addition to the above: If you don't have daytime admission to the park via a regular ticket or AP, you can buy a "Scream Early" ticket from Universal. For $40+tax it gets you entry to the park starting at 3pm. From there, you're just like any other day guest from 3-5pm. (Note you *must* be...

    No idea what I'm doing.....

    I second everything @flynnibus said above. A few additional comments: -With the unlimited Express passes from Royal Pacific you really don't have to worry much about planning. For almost every attraction you'll just be able to stroll up at your leisure and get on with limited waiting. That...

    MagicBand+ synching issue...anyone having this?

    Only one person can manage a "managed by..." profile. (Such as a parent managing their kid) Anyone else who is linked to them, such as a second parent, would only be able to link to those kid profiles as a friend. As friends they could link them to reservations, link tickets, etc but they...

    Figment Final Scene

    This video documents a bunch of ride stoppages on one ride through, but fast-forward to about 9:50 and you'll see that scene with all the video and lighting cues but the walls don't drop and the ceiling doesn't rise. And this one the work lights are on and the first screen is already down...

    Halloween Horror Nights 2023

    Today Universal Orlando extended HHN through Nov 4, released multi-night tickets (with some not-insignificant price bumps), and confirmed Stranger Things Season 4. One interesting item is that for multi-night tickets they ask you to select the first night you'll be using it. It then won't be...

    Galaxy’s Edge entrance?? Which side is better?

    Second this. I'd say the biggest "reveal" in the land (outside of an attraction) is the first view of the Falcon when approaching from the street the Cantina is on. When I bring first-timers I have a meandering route I like to take: Enter from Grand Ave/Muppets. Walk past Rise (ride it if...
