    Universal's Cinematic Celebration Night Show

    Hey guys, this is Russ from the old OrlandoRocks.com I have seen so many water based shows, but not WOC except video. Looks pretty cool, but one show that impressed the hell out of me is what intel did in Vegas. For those of you that had not seen this, check it out, pretty amazing. I don't...

    Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

    Hey Teebin, I got a rock and bent it back into shape. The remote was destroyed though, so when I opened the door the alarm went off, and security showed up on their bikes, fun time :-)

    Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

    Actually something did go "horribly wrong" with this. Not on the ride, but before it was built. I had an office overlooking the construction at the building beside universal creative, and from what I understand, the 3D windows without glasses, you see (which are amazing) ended up having to be...

    Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

    Hey guys, this is Russ from the old OrlandoRocks site, I rarely post, but thought I would share something interesting. One day years back I was on the Hulk, with my hands up. Something hit my hands and I instinctively grabbed it, when we got to the station, I realized that is was a guys...

    Universal Enforcing Hulk Rules

    I was on Hulk a few years back and toward the back of the car. Someone up front had their their glasses fly off. I had my hands up and basically accidentally caught them. Needless to say he was surprised when I returned them at the end of the ride. :-)

    IOA Lagoon Show

    The IOA fireworks show was awsome, I got a chance to see it many times. I have video of it out there, I will see if I can get the link fixed. The other show was not as impressive (hydro Action), but it was cool to see something happening out on the water...

    Zax Bypass Construction Photo?

    I have a ton of IOA construction photos, but that area was too far away from the public roads, Are you refering to pre-opening photos?

    Twister...Ride It Out

    It occurred to me the other night, that there is supposedly another GhostBuster moving coming out and that holographs have improved greatly. Obviously that would fit in the existing space.

    Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

    Do the existing games even get played very often? I average about 2-3 trips a week to Universal and I hardly ever see them being played. Maybe I just was not paying attention, I will take notice every time I go now. IMHO the games in the Simpsons make perfect sense, it adds to the theme-ing...

    Hey good catch on those pictures, I did not notice them until this post and will take them off OrlandoRocks, thanks guys! I created a interface that allows a couple friends of mine to upload photos, they should know better. I checked with the guy that uploaded those two photos and he said that...

    Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion (Opens 2014)

    Yeah Rock N Roller and Expidition everest track was completely built and then the building was put around it. I wonder if one of the reasons is that they want to keep the actuall ride layout, and other info out of view...

    Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion (Opens 2014)

    Pretty much Yeah Teebin, I have had discussion with both Disney and Universal Legal before and I have a great deal of respect for their requests. It can be surpisingly easy to get on their bad side. I have hundreds of contacts in all the parks, and get told a lot of things in...

    Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion (Opens 2014)

    Sorry for the short notice, but there will probably be a news story about the Universal construction on Wesh (channel 6) in Orlando tonight at 7. I was contacted by a reporter about doing an interview with me to go along with a helicopter flight over Universal. I hated to not take that...

    Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion (Opens 2014)

    I think I started the rumor, it was just a guess on my part after seeing them work Saturday and Sunday. They are so close, it only makes sense to wrap this up. This is a major path to the Bill and Ted Show. But the late work on the restrooms is kind of strange at this stage.
