So a whole article based on "we think Universal very quietly acquired the theme park rights for Lord of the Rings several years ago" based on a older Disney&More post? As far as I know, the only changes in recent years to the Tolkien estate is that Warner Bros didn't breach it's copyright...

So there is no standby for RotR at DHS?! The setup doesn't feel too much different than the opening of Radiator Springs. Pretty much you had to get a Fasspass within the first 30 minutes of park opening, otherwise your chances of riding were very slim. With breakdowns, the standby line...

Any rumors on when this will open? Just received a 3-night discount offer running through May 21. Was wondering if there might be soft opens before then.

Was thinking the same thing. Waiting 3 minutes to be "interrogated" while people in Disney sweatshirts walk by taking selfies kinda breaks the illusions for me. That aside, I am really impressed based on the videos. I'm blown away with how much more happens after the stormtrooper reveal. Way...

So the future (or the past) is abandoned space advertising? Why is this starting to feel more Blade Runner than Star Wars?

Why give you everything now when we can up-charge for it later?!

And to think this could have been another theme park :( I've had to park in the area east (north in the picture) of the new security area. Disney use to add another bus stop there so you wouldn't have to walk in front of the busses to get to the main loading. The guy in the video mentioned...

And that's the main reason I wouldn't recommend PPH anymore. Being able to walk through GCH and use the hotel-only entrance to DCA was a huge perk (although I heard the lines were getting bad in the morning). The views of DCA are great at PPH if you luck out and get a view room, otherwise...

If you go to the 6:40 mark, it's a dark video but you can see the car moves halfway across the bridge, stalls, and then car drops a bit (via the car, not the bridge), and then takes off again. If I remember correctly now, the car just speed over the bridge.

Thanks for the great review. Is there anything "Universal"-special to recommend this hotel over other bargain hotels in the area?

I haven't been in awhile so hopefully others will have details if this has changed. After checking in, you'll take your hotel key to one of the ticket kiosks near the hotel lobby. You'll end up with three things: - Your hotel key which you'll need to show if you want early entry into the...

So just replacing some aging infrastructure or are they getting ready to build something on top of this?

Charge added for Uber customers picked up from Universal "The rideshare company Uber told News 6 on Friday that ever since Oct. 21 riders picked up at Universal Studios Orlando have been billed an extra $4 surcharge...Uber also said that Universal expressed concerns for rider safety and then...

Slow to the party, but my limited results from the Palm Springs Halloween VillageFest: Jack Sparrow - 1 Pooh and Tigger - 1 Handmaid - 1 (she's a Disney princess now, right?) No Star Wars. After reading this thread, I just realized I should have gone as 'flying Princess Leia'!

For some reason I was thinking they only had 2.5 years until Summer 2023. I obviously miscalculated that! Summer 2023 seems very doable if the land is ready to go (I'm assuming a year of prep and then a 2-year buildout). If I remember correctly there were buildings on this site in the past...

Just read that too (via an unofficial tweet). Did anyone listen to the earnings call? That seems like a really aggressive date. Not a lot of info from the official earnings report: "Theme Parks revenue increased 6.8% to $1.6 billion in the third quarter of 2019, primarily reflecting...

Be sure to check out the WaterWorld show too.

You've obviously never waited in the standby line for Splash Mountain on a hot day. That FastPass queue is endless! :)

Ya, I kinda feel the same way. However, if you can find the photo before that one, they just craned the top of the building onto the other half. What we are seeing was prefabbed somewhere else. I'm assuming any fine detail was left off and there is still some fine detail work to do.

He is still around as Executive Chairman. Fingers crossed they kept him around to become CEO of an even larger company. Couldn't agree more.
