Pax will never die. Like an old soldier, he'll just fade away. :smile:

Is Nov 1st the hard date? Or could it be generic "after HHH" and last until late November/Early December?

Personally, I see waiting until January considering the fact that they will lose some space near that area with Disaster closing. I'm not sure how long it will take for Fallon, so I'm not saying that will happen, but part of me thinks holding off is smart during the Holiday season since Twister is such a people-eater. Only time will tell though.

It's Twisters time but I still will miss it...I miss all the actual movie making type rides that USF and DHS have moved away from.

The rumor that Twister is closing has been circulating for a while now, and was *allegedly* supposed to close after HHN LAST year, and it still stands. I wouldn't count on Twister leaving any time soon, but I could be wrong, I just can't imagine having 2 attractions down at the same time, along with the Hulk rehab in IOA.
Permits have already been out for a while for Project 727 which is the Twister replacement. It's coming for sure.
Universal has added so much capacity the past few years that it really shouldn't matter much.
Twister closing will have zero effect on crowd flow. Even on busy days the wait is never more than 10 minutes.
It's amazing when you think about the last 7-8 years and the transformation that's taken place at the park.
BTTF -> Simpsons Ride/ Springfield
Jimmy Neutron -> Despicable Me Minion Mayhem
Transformers
Jaws/Amity -> Diagon Alley
Twister -> Jimmy Fallon's Wild Ride
Disaster/Beatlejuice -> Fast & Furious
By process of elimination we're left with:
ET
Terminator 2-D
Shrek
MIB
Mummy
I really would expect after Fallon and Furious have opened that either Terminator and/or Shrek go away. ET is untouchable and MIB/Mummy still draw the crowds.

Yeah, I don't see ET or Mummy going anywhere for a very longtime. I think that MIB could be on the block one day IF it becomes a part of a new Sci-Fi land like Star Trek. Terminator and Shrek's days are numbered but they may still be around for a few years.
I would say the only thing that's safe is ET. Everything else has been looked at.
I think people need to seriously temper their expectations when it comes to this area. UOR still needs some amount of backstage storage and staging inside the resort, and this is about the only place remaining. Not to mention the fact that it houses 2 houses for HHN.
