    Universal Demolishing Soundstage 44

    Two Coasts has been a lot of DL planning talk recently, I don't think they've discussed US much there. But this would have been a few weeks ago, so maybe I just forgot. Last I saw inside scoop on Soundstage 44 was the NYT Universal thread, which I think has recently died. Here is a link to a...

    New modern day costumes coming to American Adventure?

    The America pavilion is set in a period of history. Its attraction features the modern day. Liberty Square is set in a moment in history. Its attraction features the modern day. I don't see these comparisons between LS and the US to be valid. We're all talking about two separate but...

    New modern day costumes coming to American Adventure?

    Do we have any idea of a time frame when these new costumes will be unveiled? ETA - Yzma posted more details while I was reading & typing.

    Rooms without reservations?

    At the least, you can see if there is availability now for the day you want. If it's not available now, it probably won't be next week. If it is available now, it might be next week. A few times I've known people to get really excited and drive all the way through instead of stopping. The...

    The rest of 2013 is out!

    Is there a west-bound repo cruise? When I was looking yesterday, I noticed the gap in itineraries between Med and Miami and didn't see a repositioning cruise, but wasn't sure if I was missing something.

    BoG Update Expected Tomorrow!!

    They also had them at Pecos Bill last time I ate there (over a year ago). It was an early lunch and not busy, so it wasn't a high pressure situation, but they are easy enough to use. I'd love to see them in action in a busy period. I wonder if people would skip over a kiosk with no line in...

    What's your favorite Dessert?

    I haven't been to Palo yet (next cruise!) but honestly I ate so many desserts on our 3-night they all blur together. One of my favorite things about vacation is dessert, so I usually had several at lunch in Cabanas, and usually got the trio of desserts at dinner. One thing that surprisingly...

    Universal/Mears Package

    Both sites are selling the exact same thing. (To be clear, I couldn't prove that in a court of law, but all signs point to that conclusion ;) ) The reason they have a price difference is most likely because Universal's TA booking engine allows for price adjustments. I've had a few people use...

    Disney Imagineering Testing Dragon

    The way I see it (anyone is free to disagree), connections between this ultralight and the movie's marketing campaign are happenstance. It would absolutely boggle my mind if WDI was creating flying, fire breathing dragons to market a movie in the parks. I'm going to make up a statistic and...

    Universal Demolishing Soundstage 44

    Probably because the discussion on Soundstage 44 is taking place on two different threads, making the conversation on this one seem kind of disjointed and out of the blue. Our resident "in the know" posters have indicated these things and I usually believe them more than I believe my own...

    Disney Imagineering Testing Dragon

    How long ago was this patent published and discussed on this forum? If this ultralight is being used in any way connected to this movie, it's been re-purposed. Considering the movie won't be in theaters for two more years, I'd consider it a peculiar waste of money and innovation to debut this...

    New Patents that only this board could possibly figure out.

    It's a little hard to tell in the video, but toward the end in particular I can see how that could be the case with the dwarfs.

    New Patents that only this board could possibly figure out.

    To me, that scene screams Snow White, but not necessarily 7DMT. Do we know anything about the scope of the story for the ride, and if their cottage would play a role in any of the limited show scenes? Maybe at the beginning or end, but I wouldn't guess it would play a starring role in a mine ride.

    New Patents that only this board could possibly figure out.

    The environment used in the second patent does look like it would fit right into a Snow White story. The description of the figures of the tree explains that the technology can be used to create a dark, stormy night and flashes of lightning. I could see that exact scene being an upgrade to Snow...

    Doubting Avatar

    But was it really? As I recall, it came completely out of the blue. I don't recall rumors floating around beforehand. I got the impression they tried to outrun the rumor mill. My interest in rumors waxes and wanes though. Were they preempting someone? Universal FL hasn't officially...

    Doubting Avatar

    I don't think I can add anything to this discussion that hasn't been said a dozen times since last September, but here I go anyway... People who know more than we do say the project hasn't been shelved. I believe that more than my speculations based on the fact that mum's the word with...

    MK Casey Jr. Being "Reassessed"

    While on the one hand it's nice that someone thought it would be fun/cute for kids to pretend to be engineers, I'm surprised that this project got so far along before someone realized the safety and litigation risks. That's what I'm thinking too.

    MK Casey Jr. Being "Reassessed"

    I understand what the fence is trying to accomplish, but a plexiglass cover blocking entrance into the engine would have been more a cost effective and aesthetically pleasing solution from the start. :rolleyes:

    Universal Demolishing Soundstage 44

    Check out the last few pages of the NYT: "Universal...Takes Aim at Disney" thread in New and Rumors at the top of the main forum page. More discussion there, included Lee and Martin saying it isn't Transformers.

    Jaws area

    Last week there were some aerials posted on WDW Fan Boys, but I don't think they were ever linked anywhere on this board. That is all I've seen recently, not sure if there is anything newer. Universal is on page 3...
