^Agreed, although the last couple of code names have been slightly random. Rockit - Rumble Mummy - Coin Simpsons - Fish Not random: Potter - Strongarm Despicable Me - Dave

OMGosh guys, being a former UO Team Member, a train connecting the 2 parks will NOT happen. The buildings and roads in between the 2 areas are vital to the resorts operation. Having a train go down there would hinder any service vehicle or Team Member walking traffic significantly. There's...

Well, the system does exist, each show element having a point value, they just don't follow through with it.

The only ride that keeps up with the 10 points I've noticed is Jaws. All the sharks are worth 5, each fin is 2.5.

I don't think they follow it either. It was used to make the techs keep up with the show elements of the rides, and if an operations manager wanted to, they could call the attraction down, and be fully justified with it, thus putting more pressure on the techs to fix it. It's most likely a...

Was it completely off? Was the audio still there? I've heard from several TM's that the sorting hat is a 10 point figure, meaning if he goes out, the ride *should* take a downtime, because it's the safety spiel for the ride. However, that's managements' decision.

Yeah I know, but I read earlier in the topic that a variety of ride ideas were being tossed around! Sorry for making a mistake, you make them too. This board is turning into another version of the DIS boards. I think I'll stop my posting here for a while now. Too much going on making me look...

I'm still waiting for a mega attraction for Phase II, and I believe we'll get it. Someone once quoted to me "what we're working on now will make FJ look like yesterday's ride system." Now, I'm not sure if they meant this to go to Potter or elsewhere, but someone is getting another highly...

No, they didn't duel. I had the same thing happen to me, except I was on the train that got dispatched 10 seconds after the other train. Our train slowed way down on the lift (click, click, click) like it used to do, and the other train sped up faster. Once the other train cleared the lift...

^No, it's just whichever side is ready to go first.

I actually rode once where the trains got dispatched at the same time, and I thought "Oh wow, we're going to duel!" But the lift is now designed to do the OPPOSITE of what it's been doing for years. Since Ice was dispatched a little ahead, it sped up, as our train (Fire) slowed down to the...

I remember seeing a while back about a patent that Universal filed for just recently. It was really interesting. I've looked for it, but I can't find it. I'll see if I can explain it. It was for a special piece of track that could be placed on a moving platform. So let's say you're on a...

My gf and I went Saturday night and we did everything in one night. We did the passholder early entry and knocked out Nevermore, In-Between and Forsaken early. I really didn't mind Forsaken, and thought that the masks were creepy enough. The very first one I saw actually had his hand over his...

I agree with this. I also can't see the park closing one of their most popular rides for 6 months. Remember, this is also the park that operated Hulk everyday for 10 years, even in it's deplorable condition. When I worked in Marvel, Hulk wouldn't open with the park sometimes because they...

Rode today and for the first time in a while, me and my friend went through the regular line. After you went through the cubicle section, they had a merchandise TM stopping people, and there was a new green screen with a rope hanging down. The TM asked us how many, and we grabbed onto the rope...

^That happened to me today, however my train got dispatched the same time as the other one. I got excited because I thought the controls attendants accidentally sent the trains together, so I thought we were going to duel. However, the lift is now programmed opposite of what it has been for...

Yeah, there is someone at the entrance, sometimes 2 if it's busy enough. They are scanning for bags, but sometimes people don't want to use the lockers so they'll hide something under their shirt, so then when they reach the ride, the Team Members loading the trains catch it there and have to...

I usually go in the afternoon and give myself about 3 hours (I live 10 minutes away). I usually go solo and I like it that way. I usually go over to Marvel and look at Hulk's line. I've ridden it too many times, so I won't wait too long for it. I go do Doom's singles line, and look and see...

Went to the park yesterday and went over to Dragons to check it out. Undercover security was in the outside line (around where the corkscrews are) and the attendants asked me to wear my sunglasses. I did once on Ice and one Fire, and on my Fire ride, they stopped the train on the transfer...

People would be idiots and would hit their heads on the Dragons. So to avoid being sued, they just used the already built ADA ramp to the side for everyone to use.
