    Why no Jaws replacement announcement?

    I guess there is no need to announce it yet. It won't be open anytime soon, right? If a family is planning a trip in 2012 or 2013 to see the current WWoHP they might delay the visit if they know it will be doubled in size soon after. However, if they don't know that they will visit, later find...

    Jaws.. what's happening?

    Although it was announced in 2007, real work didn't begin till 2008. They also built phase one on the "let's hope this works" budget. Phase two is on the "we know it will work" budget.

    Harry Potter World, Is it worth the ticket??

    Be sure you know what you're getting. Check the height requirements: http://www.universalorlando.com/Resort-Information/Ride-Height-Requirements.aspx Sounds like your kids won't be able to ride 3 of the 4 HP attractions, Hulk, Doom, Spiderman is 40", and others.

    Rip Saw Falls under refurb again?

    It may have been closed for a few hours, but it's for sure open and not under refurb.

    Big changes coming to FASTPASS in March

    The point is simple here, the FREE fastpass system will have these rules. If you don't like the rules or they don't work with your plans you can PURCHASE a pass that will. That's how it is, period. At this point Disney Parks may be the only ones left who don't offer guests a shorter queue line...

    Ripsaw Falls, Jurassic Park, and Spiderman CLOSED

    Yup, censored. The admins of this site still like to pretend there is no internet with other relevant news or information.

    locker line at forbidden journey

    I don't have a good pic of it or I would post it. I know at WDWMagic you are almost strictly forbidden from linking to any other relevant website, so I won't do that. Earlier this year a queue was installed outside Hogwarts to the left before entering the castle. This has been referred to as...

    locker line at forbidden journey

    Yes, there is. Maybe it's new since you have been, but the OP is correct. However, you could just go through the queue with your group as suggested and then at the stop point in the Gryffindor Common room tell the TM you will not be riding and they will show you a door that leads to the...

    Would you prefer that Transformers replace E.T. or T2 3-D?

    I would say it's barely enough room for the queue of an E-ticket level attraction.

    Any Efforts to Document the Final Days of JAWS?

    :( It's all for the best, right? Maybe both IoA & USF will be closed to capacity in a few years.

    Any Efforts to Document the Final Days of JAWS?

    I uploaded two versions of almost the same video- 1. The JAWS Ride, skipper audio mixed with soundtrack & effects: http://youtu.be/-3EQC1kQdIA 2. The JAWS Ride, soundtrack & effects only, no skipper audio: http://youtu.be/h3SqzZH9reM Enjoy! :wave:

    Any Efforts to Document the Final Days of JAWS?

    I've begun working on a final ride through video that focuses on the sights and sounds of the attraction without just being another video of a skipper on a boat including the source audio & effects. Also, over 400 unedited photos of Amity and the attraction...

    Floo powder

    Floo powder is already used in Forbidden Journey, it's how you begin and end the ride. "Say Observatory (Observe-a-tree) on three, one, two, three", it puffs up green smoke, you fly through the Floo network.

    Kongfrontation

    Watching it back on video sure does make it seem somewhat less boring than it was. It is great it can live on in video and awesome that it made way for Revenge of the Mummy which is most guests favorite attraction in the Studios park.
