You are so right! We stayed at the Swan hotel and it was quicker to walk to Epcot or MGM than get the boat as it stops at that many places! Unless it was raining then you kind of liked the boat a lot! Trip sounds fun and even better because you didn't have to queue along time for the...

I saw it the last couple of years before they closed it to change it into Twister. It must have been back in 95/96. It was a good show but compared with the latest 3D effects of Terminator 2 or Disney's "Honey I shrunk the.... " it was a bit low tech. The effects were projected onto a...

YOU ARE JOKING, RIGHT? How can anyone have missed Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi! As a big Star Wars fan I always thought the ride and queue missed a few finishing touches. Like the staff should be in Star Wars costumes, eg Jedi Knights, Storm Troopers, Wookie...

Thanks for the quick reply! So the are doing a Universal to Alien Encounter! Hanna Barbara ride closed and turned into Jimmy Neutron ride, exactly the same ride just new character. I do hope this is not going to be the new trend. Same old rides, just give them a lick of paint and...

Forgive me! AE? I take it that it's Alien Encounter? Is it closed forever and any idea of what is going to replace it? I have a web site that sells tickets in the UK with a review of the parks. Between Disney and Universal I seem to be spending all my time taking rides out of my review.

You are all correct. The outside house was on the path that went to the Hard Rock Cafe prior to IOA in the section that now has Barney, Woody Woodpecker, etc. I think it was taken down as part of the IOA development. The inside House was part of the Hitchcock 3D Birds/The Art of Making...

On my last visit I spoke to someone who was opening a new restaurant on the 192. They had an existing business on the I-drive but after 911 the trade at the conference centre dropped dramatically and never picked up, which really hit his business. Plus the prices of the hotel on the I-drive...

Thanks for the reply Rocketman. I do hope the stunt show does not go the same way as Murder She Wrote, just closed and nothing ever reopened to replace it. That would be sad!

I've heard that the Wild Wild Wild West Stunt Show has closed for good, is that true? If so what is it going to be replaced by? I have to say the stunt show was getting a bit naf by todays standards. I hope it's another stunt show as I think Universal needs something like that now the...

I love Spiderman, It's great,BUT.....! On my last 2 visits to IOA I did not get to ride Spiderman due to technical difficulties..... it broke! This happens too often, they really need to get this running smootly with all the kinks and bugs worked out. It's been running a few years now you...

Hi All I'm in the UK and want to sell the pins I have collected. I don't have a large number just a handfull I was given while staying at Disney Hotels and the odd one I bought. I tried Ebay but they just didn't sell and those that do sell only sell for pound or so ($0.60). What's...

I think you can just go into a UK Disney Store an buy them, as you can the theme park tickets.

Try looking under "BRAIN WASHING". I'm sure this ride was an early attempt at mind control by the CIA. :lol:

According to the URL below it only opened on June 22. Can't imagine them closing it so soon. WDWMAGIC :- MAGIC KINGDOM NEWS Hope this helps. ============================================= 11 June 2003: Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress Opening this summer Walt Disney's Carousel...

I may be old..... my god what am I saying!!! I'm only 35, you'll have me in a old folks home next! :lol: I just can't see these characters still being as popular in 30 years time, the way the HB characters have. From a business side I guess they are pushing the new characters but then...

This seems to be a bit of a waste of money for Universal to me. Maybe it's because I'm getting old (35) and the HB characters have a huge place in my heart. I've been a big fan of Scooby Doo, Mutly, Betty Rubble (Babe! :lol: ) etc since I was a kid..... but who in the name of Scooby Snaks are...

I stayed in the Dolphin last Sept. It has a great location. It's a nice walk to MGM, Epcot and the boardwalk.... or a boat ride if you're not in the mood for walking or if it's raining. When the queues for the bus or the boat are really long it's way quicker to walk. I did find that eating...

Those are good! Thanks!

LOL, But whose COUNTING?!?! ME! 8 days 15 hours 27 minutes! I have a cool counter on my PC! Just set the date and off it goes. It's the only thing that keeps me going between visits!

I have the cure! I was in the same state after my last visit 6 months ago..... the cure is that I'm off back in 8 days time :sohappy:
