USF had all the charm of an abandoned office park the last time I was there (though it had some fantastic attractions). Looks like that's about to change in a big way. Hopefully Disney will feel the need to fight back sooner rather than later and we'll have a full blown theme park arms race on our hands.
One of the guys over there was stealing pictures from OU and claiming them as his own... Mice Age is run by some shady people apparently... That is why I refuse to visit that site...

It's not shady - they do almost no Orlando reporting - leaving that to some contributors.. especially USF.. and that is Eric. Meh..
Where? I didn't see it on the main page or in the forums? Or are you talking about the single tweet?
That's pretty much it. And I was gagged from saying anything! Glad its out.

It might be time to change the name of this site to UniversalMagic.
What they're doing is astonishing.

It is shady... When you STEAL pictures from other websites and call them your own, yes, that is shady....

What I'm saying is.. point the finger at the right person. Micechat isn't a single source site... there are lots of contributors and Orlando topics don't come from the site owner/operator... tho he is a big Uni fan and has decent contacts.
Can you say what kind of spinner it is? Is it like Dumbo or Mater?

Universal doesn't let up, does it?
I wish Mickey would follow their example.

So, will it be like Dueling Dumbos and have two large centre-pieces of Kang and Kodos with riders riding on something on the end of their tentacles?
Cool (although I do think that two large Kang/Kodos statues like I described above would look great)
People complain about the lack of things for kids to do at Universal - this adds something that USF doesn't have (IOA has 1F2FRFBF), something that could fit the theme of Krustyland well, and something that shouldn't cost that much to build (not that they're short of money, but it would be better to spend the big money for the children on the Kidzone retheme/expansion )

This isn't like Disney right now where if they spend money one place they don't have money to spend in another. Uni is spending money, reaping the benefits, spending money, reaping benefits. If growth continues Universal will be 2 almost new parks by the end of 2019. UNI Decade!!!
And Universal seem to spend their money so much better than Disney do!
If Universal can improve the look of Kidzone (2015/2016?), World Expo (FFL/MIB as Springfield is on the way), Production Central (although it does fit it's theme, and I would guess that they aren't going to get rid of HRRR anytime soon) and use the space behind Springfield/Kidzone, the park will be totally transformed!
On previous visits, I would have said that USF was the park with the least to do (was basically MIB/BTTF/Mummy/ET/T2:3D - for us, Shrek/Earthquake/Twister/Jaws/Woody Woodpecker/Simpsons we could give or take (still haven't done Beetlejuice/Animal Actors/Horror MakeUp - on the list to do next time), but now adding Despicable Me, Transformers, Gringotts, Hogwarts Express will basically double the amount of attractions that we would really be interested in in the space of 3 years! It's going to be like a completely new park!
