    Universal's Epic Universe Construction Thread

    Unfortunately a screen base attraction is required for this kind of set up, its not a space issue like some situations, You could have every scene have animatronics of the characters instead of screens but creative would probably prefer to put money into a more exciting ride vehicle (the...

    Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

    Also looking at the list there should be the Potter theater and Dragon theater Still looking, does seam like some more C/d ticket capacity fillers wouldn't go amiss, even a A/B high throughput thing would be alright going by the ticket system I mean shame that rumour of SLOP being put in that...

    Brightline Station Coming to Orlando

    Sounds like there going all or nothing for Orlando It should pay off even before you can go to Disney and I drive and that section is the money maker the Orlando route should pay off but they got to get there

    Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

    Yeah I think the nail has been hit on the head with Tielos real life village example Its similar in the UK you get villages near castles or beaches or parks or such that adjust to handle the tourists, shops, cafes, pubs and the like to handle the people visiting When people hear tourist trap...

    Universal's Epic Universe Construction Thread

    I don't think so, im not sure where the land is, but I think its further south, nearer the convention center as well as being more suited to a station than hotels or such

    Brightline Station Coming to Orlando

    Yeah if Disney was aiming for a terminal, any through train would not work. Or at least not work without reversing which would be possible but annoying operationally compared to a normal through, especially as the airport would be the more realistic crew change/terminus station with through...

    Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

    I mean it may be potter, it may be creature. it could even be the Nintendo expansion plot The noises suggest Uni is planning for stuff after EU opens before its opened, which is very good news. Shows confidence in the project Dont want a IOA where nothing major is done for 10 years

    Universal Orlando Resort to Epic Universe Transportation News & Speculation

    I mean Brightline is something that would be effective when it opens, arguably spending money on it is really worth it when you consider its either going to pass close to the site and not stop or stop at the convention centre which is a practical internal bus interchange for the parks. A lot...

    Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

    What that does sound like by the end of it, if they went down that road in concept would be a reworked version of the Iron Legion ride concept, replacing individual suits with a singular ride vehicle, you would get more movement capability than the kong system and the wires would be easier to...

    Super Nintendo World (Osaka) - Donkey Kong Expansion Thread

    I wouldn't be surprised if this is a combo of Nintendo requiring early announcement, so they given a date with plenty of lee way, I call it now, the land will soft open like SNW did Either way, its great to see Donkey Kong announced, also interactivity is good to hear as it went down very well...

    Super Nintendo World (Osaka)

    Looking at the Previews lets put it this way When Hogsmeade opened it created the new bar for theming, rides and the whole experience (added further with the interactive wands later on) This bar was attempted to be matched by Pandora, Diagon Alley and Galaxy's edge as this bar shift was crazy...

    Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

    I dont think those at the top are LSM's, those require big power cables and cooling fans, at the top will be a magnetic trim brake to created that hangtime stall, in testing though they may of adjusted the position and height to get the optimum braking of the train to get the designed effect

    Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

    Pure speculation here but going forward on the ideas for a driverless personal transport, I cant see individual transport replacing pure park to park busses simply due to capacity concerns. However a system that can run on its own track and the bus lanes, sharing the lanes with busses could...

    Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

    yeah rise could of been a bus bar with a few adjustments mainly in loading, unloading and the first scene as well as some quick fire switches for where it reverses down a different path Though speaking of trackless isn't the big props in the Bourne show (the moving buildings that don't rise up...

    Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

    Yeah Ghost train was and still arguably a disaster, combined with a company who under engineered as well as cant/wont maintain the ride fully for people not sure what is referred here Derren Browns Ghost Train: Rise of the Demon (you think universal titles are bad sometimes) is a VR dark ride...

    Web Slingers (DCA)

    Hopefully for what it is it seams to be a good utilisation of the ride system for capacity A very compact vehicle and nice door mechanism Though it really does look like it be a Ninjago esk experience Link for those who not sure what I mean by that...

    Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

    It is possible to remove/add cars from the track using a crane that involves partial disassembly of the wheel assembly's while supporting the weight with the crane. Though doing this outside of the maintenance area only really happens in testing/valleying due to the cost of a crane hire.

    Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

    The rumoured concept of a Kongfrontasion ride system, possibly used in a Ford Anglia attraction is a interesting one, the original system was a static level track with a basic motion base (more shaking than tilting) and a scissor lift element to provide the final party piece. Using the Anglia...

    Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway (DHS)

    Though looking at povs the choice i like the most, the final scene its not flashy its kinda quiet and the song turning into a proper vocal chorus, reminds me so much of the classic disney productions would end like that as a "happy ending" i just like that :) all thats missing is a massive book...
