    Character Height Ranges

    It's been 18 years... wow. I'm unsure if the character height ranges have been revised in that time, but the math puts you at 5'5 1/2", which lets you just barely slide into 5'6" characters. The big ones will be Pluto and Buzz Lightyear.

    Universal rumored to be in talks with Elon Musk’s Boring Co.

    I get it. If I only eat taco bell, deviled eggs, and tequila, it is statistically more likely that the pants I wear will have a brown stain sooner rather than later.

    Universal rumored to be in talks with Elon Musk’s Boring Co.

    On a per-capita basis, pure BEVs are the least likely vehicles to catch fire, at fewer than about 25 fires per 100,000 vehicles sold. Internal combustion engine cars are roughly 60 times more likely to catch fire, and hybrids/PHEVs are about 140 times more likely.

    Universal rumored to be in talks with Elon Musk’s Boring Co.

    Statistically far less likely to happen than on an internal combustion bus

    Universal rumored to be in talks with Elon Musk’s Boring Co.

    Those are still very much a concept, and not near series production. If the tunnels are large enough for city busses, maybe they'll use UOs own fleet of EV Busses

    Universal rumored to be in talks with Elon Musk’s Boring Co.

    Just did some back of napkin math find the assumption that it says identical to Vegas and it would run Tesla Model Ys. If there's a hypothetical expectation of 1000 guests per hour, Uni would need a fleet of 100-150 including spares for downtime and charging, plus 200-250 drivers (assuming a...

    Universal rumored to be in talks with Elon Musk’s Boring Co.

    Maybe they promised X amount of jobs, which always looks good. As in a driver for each individual Tesla Model Y that Uni will conveniently have to purchase.

    Universal rumored to be in talks with Elon Musk’s Boring Co.

    Where’s the $39k cybertruck? Where is the cybertruck with 500 mile range? Why has the supercharger network not completely been opened to all other EV’s even though it was supposed to be done two years ago? Where is the Tesla roadster that was supposed to be delivered six years ago? Don’t get me...

    Elon's well documented habit of overpromising and underdelivering.

    Universal rumored to be in talks with Elon Musk’s Boring Co.

    They better be deeply discounting it, since tunneling safely in Florida is the most expensive way to go about this.

    News Disney World Offers $499 All-Year Park Access for Military Families in 2026

    No one tell him about the dirt cheap ticket prices offered to British tourists like Donnie.

    News Disney World Offers $499 All-Year Park Access for Military Families in 2026

    Because Disney’s economists are forecasting softening demand.

    Nah. They have a pretty robust blogging team.

    Universal UK

    The risk is real, but it’s pretty limited. UK tourists don’t go to Florida just for Universal Orlando. It’s almost always part of a bigger trip. Disney, Universal, SeaWorld, shopping, sometimes Miami, sometimes even New York. Orlando is a hub, not a single-purpose destination. A Universal UK...

    Rumor Eventual Fast & Furious: Supercharged Replacement

    Not all of ops. There are other buildings that have other ops leadership/senior leadership and support personnel, but this one is convenient because it's just a few steps away from onstage.

    You will pry the world trailer from my cold dead hands.

    Rumor Eventual Fast & Furious: Supercharged Replacement

    I mean, Disney and Universal both have trailers backstage that have served their functions for decades.

    Rumor Eventual Fast & Furious: Supercharged Replacement

    Sure. Eventually. The shortage of office space is bad enough that new back-of-house construction merely helps reduce the deficit.

    Rumor Eventual Fast & Furious: Supercharged Replacement

    That is USF operations. You picked the one building that literally cannot be moved to Epic... not to mention that UOR - across all campuses - has a massive shortage of office space. At Epic, a brand new park, people are already working in trailers.
