Okay, so tomorrow is supposedly the day that Uni is going to fire back at Disney.

Anybody want to guess as to what is happening. I'm hoping for some Potter info, anyhting else would be gravy.

Disregarding any arguments about whether Disney sees itself as in a rivalry with Universal for another time and place . . .

I'd predict Universal provides some better detailed announcement of the full scope of what to expect in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter.

I'd expect they will hype the opening of the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit coaster and maybe provide some info on its song selections and maybe announce a formal opening date, since it seems to still be in soft opening mode and certainly unpredictable from day to day in terms of what time of day it will open.

:lol:

That's not what this is meant to be. Don't worry. But I do think a theme park "war" would benefit me, considering I'm a huge fan of both.

That's what I'm thinking.

What is Uni truly going to fire. They have Harry Potter that will be OKay. All they did was build a castle and hardly anything new with it. I will miss dueling Dragons the way it was before becoming a part of Harry Potter. The Rip-Ride-Rocket is a cool Coaster but pick your own music just doesn't cut it for the most part. As you are very informed of Disney has the expansion projects and still be continuing refurbishmnet. With the great amount of debt that Universal is in for, what else could they do and where is the capital coming from in order to creat a new expansion. I know Uni has to wait a bit to re-coup some money back from there new exhibits to open. I would hope if Uni did anything that they would add another resort in and this time train there people for customer service first.

Can you please expand upon the new ride. Any information on what it will be or themed. When HP was made as an announcement I was hoping for rides like going through the vault at Gringots Bank and even being in a quittage Match. Now for Spider-Man, that is one ride that I truly feel is nothing but the best.

Rip, Ride, Rockit is officially open even though it shouldn't be.

Is it still having major problems?

It's going to be a robo coaster on rails, that will travel through Hogwarts Castle and the surrounding area.

Universal will issue this statement to Disney:

"That's what she said."

and also the announcement of:

"Up your face."

will be exciting.

oh, another thing I wouldn't be surprised to hear Universal announce.

Wands.

Yeah, we've heard rumors and speculation and maybe the most informed even have some details. But it might be time Universal released a marketing effort to the masses touting the benefits of magic wand purchases in Harry Potter land. :D
