With how free Comcast has been with spending on the parks lately, nothing is out of the question.This has been mentioned on these boards before (ahem). I'm not sure why we all of a sudden assumed FFL was going to get replaced.

Glad it's finally official! And not sure what negative stuff you could possibly be reading on Disney boards, when they just got their clone of a CA ride this year in Mermaid. :huh:
Anyway, I can't stop watching the video from last night. What a heart pumping, exciting way to announce an addition. Can't wait for the WWoHP version.
I saw a bunch of people on Twitter bashing the announcement and the ride in general. Heard everything from "the StarWars announcement has made this announcement an after thought" which is dumb because the SW announcement wasn't really about theme parks at this point. Now it will be exciting and huge news for us when we get a SW announcement for park additions. Also heard how having the same ride type next door is a bad thing and dumb on Universals part, which is another dumb statement. Disney has multiple roller coasters, omni movers and dumbo type spinners in the same park and its not really a big deal. I even saw the comments about Universal is being cheap and building a clone. :bang:
Just recieved a call from Optimus Prime. Decepticon scum are heading to Universal Orlando and we must prepare for battle.
That was such an amazingly cool way for a park to make an announcement! Only bad part about it was the fact I wasnt there in person to see it
I'm writing a blog post about this right now, but I think it's funny, because "They're building a clone" is a very narrow way of looking at it, with all the other parts considered.

I know! I'm going to try and get into the grand opening. If it's as epic as the Hollywood one, I will not be missing it.
And I'm going when they announce Potter too.
Trust me...I'd rather have the Japanese tourists. They are more polite,never jump queue lines and know what it means to have proper hygiene. :thumbs: I have never in all my 28 years here in Orlando ever had a Japanese tourist ask me in broken English if I speak Japanese. I get asked all the time by BraziIians in very broken English if i speak Spanish :doh: Oh the stories I could write about how rude and pushy those Brazilians are but it's mainly just tour groups that are obnoxious,loud and ill mannered. However Visit Orlando thinks the.BraziIians spend more than any other tourist group so they promote Orlando very heavily in Brazil. I met a very nice couple from Tokyo one night at Horror Nights who absolutely adored Orlando...tourists like that we need here..but unfortunately like some of the other forum sites we get mostly jerks and jabronies. :thumbs:

And as for a James Bond stunt show replacing FFL...YES PLEASE! :happy: Now THAT would be a show I would always see at least once per trip to USF
Why would Brazilians ask if you speak Spanish when they speak Portuguese?

They almost always ask hablo espanol. Most Brazilians can speak Portuguese just as good as Spanish.
Just saw Universal tweeted that life size Bubblebee will be out front for photo ops this weekend. He looks rather impressive :smiley:
Gotta love these people on Universal's page trying to figure out where this is going...SOme say Jaws, some say replacing E.T. etc...and so i try and tell them where its going but I guess Im just another one of those guys with information nobody believes :bang:
