I know the rumours are DQ is closing, but I've always enjoyed it in there, and I hope the changes to DTD see investment in the complex rather than the concept being scrapped for an ESPN zone or other. Though an ESPN zone in addition to DQ would be nice :D

Sounds interesting. Perphaps they are going to turn the area from low-key to high profile. They obviously want to draw large crowds to the attraction and the large front seems to indicate they want to give a strong image. I can see the character trailers being scrapped or re-located, otherwise...

You said the pattern of the floor didn't match? Who knows, maybe they're making it match now? Or something 'mysterious' is happening!

News on the harry potter project seems to have dried up. I hope it goes ahead, providing its a totally new construction and not a theme change of the lost continent.

Great to see a new addition to IOA, and I liked Universal 360 so its good to see they're trying to improve the full-day experience.

Great informative update as usual! Glad you're having so much fun at the world while I can't!

I agree Universal needed to spend some cash on their property and hopefully they will put it to good use. But, why does everyone think that $120 million is for the upkeep and then for like several attractions. They can't do everything at once, so who is to say that they won't have a large budget...

Looks to me like they are building out the front into a large entrance, like a soundstage, providing the arch is completely on the otherside. Reminds me of the shape of the 'soundstages' at the Disney Studios in Paris, maybe someone has a pic? Since it's a major attraction they probably want a...

Thanks for the update, great as always :) The last pic of the boardwalk is great, I really miss Florida at the moment!

We went to Disneyland Paris in 2005, arriving at CDG expecting to get the train to Disney! We didn't really know where we were going and we are normally a family that plans ahead! Anyway, at the airport there are buses with Disney all over them, that look like they might be just for the purely...

Yes....legally.

Tbh, you should just let your friends buy some tickets. SeaWorld/Busch Gardens is not that expensive, its worth the money and a reasonable price. It's not right that you should pass the tickets on, it is, in effect, stealing.

I hate it when people blame Universal for stuff like this and seem to say that they couldn't care less. If this happened at a mcdonals restaurant, you wouldn't blame mcdonalds, ok, different kind of place but still. This could happen anywhere, yes Disney too! I feel really bad for the victim...

Put it this way, everytime we visit Disney, we visit Universal too :D It is fun, and thats what counts!

Well atleast it's good music :) And It kind of makes sense, I'm all for Disney trying new things. And heck, now when you watch lotr you might think Disney, maybe they want that! Thanks for the info!

Beer Garden in the UK Pavillion at Epcot, right next to the wall, in the middle of the gap between the trees to watch Illuminations, we always get it, and only after we've been there a while to people pack in, but behind us :)

I don't think I could change if I wanted to! Plus I have to stand up for northerners. One of my flat mates made a northern joke, to which I quickly jokingly told her I was Northern, and she said 'Oh well I'm from Reading so....' to which I sarcastically added that Reading was the northern part...

Great Pics. I go to University in Bath and its strange because I go past all that stuff all the time, and next year I'll live about 10 minutes walk from the crescent (I just came home from Uni on Friday!). However, because I live there during semesters I have not once taken a picture of it! I...

Looks like Thorpe Park is worth a visit one day. Also, isn't Eric Idle supposed to be doing/have done a Pirates 4D for Busch Gardens? I hope its a different version after your report!

We visit both Universal parks every trip to Florida, we also spend time in CityWalk and we ALWAYS go the Hard Rock Cafe :)
