The Universal Rumors thread

[JT3000]

I havent heard anything about an IOA lagoon show.

They left a bunch of black buoys in the water a while back. Dead giveaway that they're planning something.

Ok this is killing me, what is fj?

Thank you. You should see the Disney message boards, they use even more abbreviations, it's insane.

"Went to the DB to get some ICB at the DI to the RT and then to the DS. Heading to SIDIJSJISJD to ride SM tommorrow. TS D D A D HHIO SKA. "

Drives me nuts!!!!!!!!!

The one that killed me the most is: TPFKaDMGMS, The Park Formerly Known as Disney-MGM Studios.

Like, what the heck. Just say DHS or MGM or the Studios.

I wish Universal would get a movie ride(like Hollywood Studios but way better) that would include all the classics(Back to the Future, Kong 360, Jaws, ET, and the Classic movie monsters(but I guess I'm dreaming!)

Wasn't there a plan to add Kong at one point? I would love to see a USH backlot tram themed dark ride for Orlando. A cross between TGMR and WOM. Disaster! and Beetlejuice would be a gret spot for it, imo.

You can remove the Transformers M&G considering it's already open...

Just thought I'd throw it out there that land surveying for future work started today in Jurassic Park.

Hey guys, first post in the USO forum (only been there once in 06 as @BryceM knows), but back to that likely water park thread, I saw this picture rendition of this pedestrian bridge they are planning to build for $4.5 million that will lead to that water park. I'll link the site here:
http://www.bizjournals.com/orlando/...bridge-may-lead-to-water.html?s=image_gallery

I would link the article to, but you need full subscription to it in order to read the full article. (Tried to post another one too of DS, but need subscription for that as well).

 

[JT3000]

^ I don't know what the article says, but the pedestrian bridge is for the new hotel, not a water park. While the water park is a blue sky project, I haven't heard any indication that it's coming any time soon.

 

[BryceM]

Yeah, that will most likely be for the new hotel! I don't like the ends of the bridge though, and I hope that they change.

This is much better than the last version, blahhhhh...

While it might not be coming just yet, you know the waterpark is inevitable...and I think that's a project ill look forward to more than any other after Potter 2.0.
I want to see what Uni can really do when they try and build a waterpark!

I don't see even a peep about one until 2016 at the earliest, though it would be nice.

Summer. I haven't heard a more specific time frame.

 

[WED99]

Summer. I haven't heard a more specific time frame.

Thanks. I was hoping for an insanely quick build so it would be ready for my trip in 3 weeks but I guess not

You'll be at Universal in 3 weeks? You should post a trip report!

 

[WED99]

Yeh, I should maybe just one day but, don't want to be writing out 3 weeks of trip report

 

[BryceM]

Well I hope you have fun! I'll be looking forward to pictures of Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios. Are you doing both parks in one day?

 

[Californian Elitist]

Here's a rumor for USH, given by Jim Hill (take it with a grain of salt):

The Hogwarts Castle in Hollywood will be built full scale, and it will also include the Great Dining Experience. We'll see if that actually happens or not, as we all know Universal doesn't announce things.
