Universal Orlando August 1 Press Conference

[UniversalRBLX]

Every time I come back to this thread...

I can't wait to see the news drop, but I guess the best bet to see the thing would be for wait for Attractions to post the entire event, right?

More than likely people will be posting on Social Media immediately.

Nah. Read everything here, and our coverage about it, AND THEN see the video.

 

[Attraction Ideas]

Each world in the new park should get its own mini-golf course.

Forget drinking around the world, I'm all for golfing around the universe!

 

[Magic-Man]

22 hours until this forum goes absolutely nuts.

 

[GAcoaster]

I'm predicting a leak overnight. Tomorrow will be insane one way or another.

Then 5 minutes after the announcement the complaints begin...

Yup...

 

[Magic-Man]

Uhhhhh, what?!

 

[Joel]

Uhhhhh, what?!

Worlds being announced? @Andy

oh wait..

I don’t know a thing, I’m just here so I don’t get fined

:curse:

 

[JungleSkip]

Worlds being announced? @Andy

oh wait..



:curse:

I'm pretty sure Andy was joking when he said he didn't know anything.

 

[Legacy]

Uhhhhh, what?!

Likely 5 total announcements.

Bourne
Velocicoaster
Jurassic World
SLoP OR new parade
New park

 

[Alicia]

Likely 5 total announcements.

Bourne
Velocicoaster
Jurassic World
SLoP OR new parade
New park

I don’t know about the rest, but I think we might hear about the coaster before the 10am event. I’m thinking the 10am thing may be mostly about new park/future. We could get other stuff before it even starts.

 

[TheDr]

Likely 5 total announcements.

Bourne
Velocicoaster
Jurassic World
SLoP OR new parade
New park

I could see Velocicoaster and Jurassic World being one announcement. Maybe VB expansion or SLoP and new parade as you said..

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Hey y'all, keep speculation to the speculation thread. This is directly relating to the announcement.

Can we speculate about what the announcement will be in this thread?

Hell, we're complaining now. :thumbsup:

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Can we speculate about what the announcement will be in this thread?

Yes, but we're veering into "what's in the next park" territory and that has a thread for it already.

While we twiddle our thumbs and freak out from the waiting driving us crazy, let's take a moment to enjoy this news piece from 1997 discussing what Universal ORIGINALLY was planning to do with the land, all the way back then:

That overview construction pic of IoA is crazy too. The amount of change at the surrounding area is enormous.

That first random guest they interview in that package is INCREDIBLE.

“Go nuts, totally. What the hell!"

He's awesome. That guy is straight up 'Florida guy at Theme parks' in the 90's. And the 00's. And... the 10's.
Even the Florida people here can't dispute that.

Wow! I have that same press kit, but the only difference is your master plan is dated April 1994, and mine was dated September 1993 - it's super interesting to see how much changed over the course of 7 months!

That IoA mock-up in 94' is pretty similar to what we actually got. Fun to see (likely) Waterworld where Marvel is now.

What kind of crowd is going to this press conference? The hyped up Apple type crowd who are going to cheer or quiet and reserved?

I want this kind of reaction when the bombs drop:

 

[JungleSkip]

What kind of crowd is going to this press conference?

National media.

 

[Scott W.]

National media.

We need the IU crew, an open bar and a few hype men to get the crowd going.

Edit: If Mark Woodbury is presenting and the IU crowd go:
