    2 days in Septemeber--New to Universal

    How do we make the most of our time? What are the dates of your visit? Will you be going during Halloween Horror Nights? If so, that will impact park hours, and you may want to start each day at USF if it will be closing early. Be mindful of the weather. Many IOA attractions are outdoors...

    Kong Skull Island rendering

    I have to respectfully disagree with some of the items on your list as attractions where "nothing goes wrong" with respect to story and theme. For example: Test Track (near collision with a semi truck, or corrosive sprays in the original version) Haunted Mansion (like you said, guests become...

    Kong Skull Island rendering

    "Then, something goes horribly wrong." That's the storyline for many, many attractions at UOR, WDW, and theme parks around the world. Just pick a random attraction, and see if it applies. Everest? Something goes horribly wrong. Tower of Terror? Something goes horribly wrong. Escape from...

    Whenever guests pick up paper passes from a CM instead of an automated system, at any attraction or character spot, what prevents guests from obtaining multiple passes?

    Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey Universal Studios Japan first video

    The image is just overexposed, and possibly edited on-the-cheap by "lightening" the image, which causes features to appear "bleached." Hogwarts looks fine.

    It was an excellent tribute the the master filmmaker. Guests entered the soundstage and started off in a room with various Hitch-related decor on the walls, similar to the first room in Disaster where volunteers are chosen. Then guests entered a theater, similar in size to the Shrek 4D...

    Diagon Alley reviews thread

    Yes, it is. Nothing in the reviews or videos takes away from the enjoyment of being there in person. You will surely discover lots of things that would take hours to cover in a video format, not to mention plenty of interactive elements.

    Should we have an official HHN24 thread to share the news?

    It's a bit like singers who have already had record deals (and thus already "professional") appearing on the various vocal talent tv shows. But I suppose that artists, in any genre, are a dime a dozen, so even the existing studio/business/professional types are likely struggling to keep food on...

    I completely agree with this estimate. A huge HP fan, who has never experienced IOA or USF before could probably spend the majority of the day just between the two HP areas.
