The Universal Rumors thread

[djlaosc]

Aquatica blows, we get the Orlando flex ticket so can technically visit for free but I've only ever be once...

I would pick BB or TL over it any day. Aquatica was just a slightly nicer version of Knott's soak city!

See, we would all probably pick Aquatica over TL/BB/WnW!

What do you mean expansion to TM parking lot? There already is VERY limited parking as there is. Do you mean the Human Resources parking lot?

 

[IWant2GoNow]

VERY interested in ANY Simpson's related additions! I feel like they could recreate the entire town of Springfield & get LOADS of merch sales!

 

[cheezbat]

Any movement on the Springfield expansion?

Or any news on the proposed Lorax ride?
I'm actually very looking forward to a new dark ride at IOA.

I really want a Springfield expansion. Is that just a rumor, or a creditable rumor that probably will happen?

Will The Simpsons area get bigger? Definately.

That's awesome! Hmm....now what could that mystery addition be?

Hey 420....any new developments with the Lorax ride? I would figure construction in that wouldn't happen until sometime after the new year.

Like a ride perhaps? Maybe a looping ride?

 

[JT3000]

Where would they put a play area?

Things are getting tight and the trail has gone dark, will share if I get any tidbits but last I heard ground breaking was after a seasonal event. I assumed HHN but instead was probably Grinchmas. Keep an eye on the occ comptroller...

Really?

Now this is interesting.

 

[cheezbat]

I wonder what type of vehicle they would use for the Lorax dark ride....maybe the newer suspended ride like Singapore is using for Sesame Street? Or a more classic dark ride car...

So Jim Hill is saying Simpsons is getting a Ferris Wheel.

Seems like an odd, boring choice.

Now, do they mean just a Ferris Wheel, or an Eccentric Wheel like Mickey's Fun Wheel at DCA?

He doesn't say. I would assume it would be something similar to Mickey's Fun Wheel, just because a regular one is so pedestrian.

Well, some people do say that MFW is the scariest ride at DCA - it can reduce grown men to tears from what I've seen on YouTube!

Maybe they'd theme it to Sideshow Bob and the moving cars would be like he had broken a regular ferris wheel?

Very interesting. Maybe just some typical work? Not sure what they could do around there...

I think that'd be alright. It's cool enough that the area is getting so much - a ferris wheel is just a bonus and fits with the Krustyland area. I'd hope it'd be a decent size with some area theming.

I don't know how I feel about a Ferris wheel...
