    Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

    Got really lucky today! My friends and I left Islands of Adventure around 6:30 and went right for the studios. When we arrived to the ride, they were letting people in...talk about impeccable timing. So, the ride is awesome. It's mostly screens with less emphasis on sets(with the exception of 2...

    Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

    Going to be here for the week! So, in order for us to ride this bad boy...we should show up during the later hours of the park? That seems to be what fits the shoe here.

    Springfield Expansion

    Oh Poop! Moes Tavern! And I'm going to be there the first week of June...that's going to be a terrible tease if we're walking around and it's near completion, but still in construction. Same goes for Transformers! Awesome progress though!

    Planning my first Universal Orlando non family trip!

    I am pretty inexperienced with this kind of thing, but think I have the core idea. I'm the planner, and the plan is to book the package on the actual Universal Orlando site. We want to stay at the Hard Rock, but for some reason just now...it stopped appearing on available hotels after choosing...

    Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion (Opens 2014)

    Just found out about this queue theme news and it psyches me beyond belief! Thanks hatetofly! And also, hoping we get another "Powerade in Window" type moment in the coming year.

    Middle Earth coming to UOR?

    I would definitely be game for a LOTR section and it would have to go in Islands of Adventure for sure. Ideally, Hobbiton and Mordor are vital if this was to actually occur. There is so much in the lore to even think though...feel like the only way to do a concept like this right is to create...

    Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

    Sorry for being the blind man in the room, but haven't kept up to speed and constantly hear this is going to be Transformers. Is there concrete proof for it, like there is for Harry Potter 2.0? Because I still don't believe it's Transformers unless you guys all know the suitable information...

    Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion (Opens 2014)

    Not to drift the conversation off, but the way things are picking up...are we looking at a possible summer 2014 launch? A 4 year gap from the 2010 launch of the Wizarding World is a far enough gap, I'd say.

    Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion (Opens 2014)

    It's 2008,2009 all over again! Exciting things are occurring! Live for this! And going on vacation to Universal in a couple weeks, definitely going to be more observant on the Mummy Ride.

    The Amity Demolition Thread

    It's going to be an awesome few years watching construction again. Don't think anything will beat 2007-2010 Harry Potter but this could be special too.

    It will quite something going through another 2 or 3 year construction phase for the expansion, it'll feel like old times. Literally used to thrive on HP construction news, constantly looking for new updates.

    The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade (Orlando): Part 2

    Thanks for posting that video! Brought back amazing memories...can't believe it'll be 2 years this year. Where did time go?

    The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade (Orlando): Part 2

    I'm getting emotional chills in my spine...but the WW construction from 2008 to 2010 was a special time so it'll always give me goosebumps. Great times :'( EDIT: And it's been over 2 years since I joined this site...where'd time go?

    Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem (USF)

    Starting to feel bad for not going on this ride during my 2010 trip. My last ride was in June of 2008. Going to miss you Jimmy Neutron, you brought a few nice childhood memories to me in 2003. And with this, marks the end of Nickelodeon in the park, R.I.P.

    The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade (Orlando): Part 2

    Just got a little emotional and welled up. I've had so many memories with you guys leading up to the opening, the live opening with John Williams orchestrating, the ridiculous amount of people, the line that went halfway around the park for Forbidden Journey, and finally...my trip that...

    The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade (Orlando): Part 2

    Is it bad that I'm sitting here listening to Leaving Hogwarts and John Williams HP music...missing Universal Orlando extremely? Been almost a year since my personal trip and I was so emotionally attached to the construction and lead up to the Wizarding World, that it kills me knowing the next...

    Spider-Man getting HD Upgrading

    First of all, I am psyched for this! Parents said we might go back for a day or two next year would be a great thing if this is open by summer. Is it possible the team is going to alter the story and villains? Is it possible? Because if they happened to remove Electro, they'd have to redo...
