    Best Pizza Around Universal?

    Have to agree that Sal's Deli had great pizza. I'm also a big fan of the huge slices at Monster Cafe in USF although the prices are absurd. Worst pizza I've had was over at Pizza Predatoria in IOA. I want to check out Big Kahuna's slices in CityWalk and the room service pizza at the hotels...

    AP On-Site Hotel Discounts

    I've never gotten a pin either and have stayed many times over the course of the past five years. I know there is a specific APH section of the UniversalOrlando site where you log on by having to type in your absurdly long APH membership number and PIN/ID # that are on the back of your APH. I...

    The Condition of City Walk

    While nothing would shock me considering WWE's relationship with Comcast, the WWE restaurant lost $20 Million and all the people I know within WWE say they've heard nothing about this. They could be trying to keep it a surprise, but judging past history on WWE ventures outside of actual wresting...

    Marvel Super Hero Island Adventures Comic

    Did they sell the other two separately, because the Spidey and Dr. Doom stories blow away the Hulk one. They also both tie directly into the rides, which Hulk does not.

    Springfield Expansion

    YES! That's what I had my first trip (even though I originally wanted to fulfill a longtime dream of ordering a Krusty Burger). Was so good the friend I was with ordered it for her lunch the next day. The maple syrup mayo is incredible. Now that I know, when they ask if I want it on the sandwich...

    Springfield Expansion

    Just got back from two days there. While I was eating in Moe's a manager came over to talk to a couple TMs and was holding a paper. What I over heard was that guest satisfaction rate was through the roof.

    Springfield Expansion

    Not sure if HTF can confirm or deny anything, but I saw concept art yesterday of the Bumblebee man taco truck and a "Welcome to Springfield" arch (different from the Krustyland one that is on the Springfield art Universal put out).

    Annual Passholder Reservations, and Cancellations?

    Part of the breakfast options available.

    Annual Passholder Reservations, and Cancellations?

    Royal Pacific Club Level is AWESOME. The "breakfast" offerings are basically the best continental breakfast you'll ever see. Tons of doughnuts, pastries, fruits, toast, oatmeal, etc. Cereals, coffee, juice, milk, etc. Perfect to head in there before you go over to the parks. Good lunch/dinner...

    Annual Passholder Reservations, and Cancellations?

    The latest APH newsletter had a ridiculously good "unique offer code" for the resorts. I had a room booked at the RPR for $300 for the next of Fri, Aug 23rd. Called up with my code and got a room at RPR for three nights (that Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) for $142, $142 and $132 per night.

    IOA Fun Facts

    Maybe what people are thinking of are the two sets of "call boxes" found on Marvel Island. One is across from the Fantastic Four Diner and the other is a set of three between the Spider-Man photo op and the refreshment stand (the one place in Marvel Island with a wide open view of the Lagoon)...

    USO/IOA secrets

    Productive and frustrating trip to USF this week. Rode Mummy about six times to get a good pic of the Kong statue. See below for best shot (horrendous). I also think there is a reference to Kong right after the scene where you see Imotep and the mummified character with the hat on. You go...

    USO/IOA secrets

    I only noticed this the last time I went, but I think the Three Broomsticks is the only place you can get "Pumpkin Fizz." I think that's the name. Basically a carbonated Pumpkin Juice that I think has the Butterbeer like "head" on top. Not sure if you can get this at the Hogs Head. Will check in...

    Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit

    It has to be so that Express people can now choose to stand in the "Front Seat" line in they want to, whereas before you couldn't. I despise how Universal does the Express Pass for Hulk as when I have gone the Team Member isn't at the juncture of the standby and Express Pass line, they are a...

    Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem (USF)

    I noticed they were selling a plush Dr. Nefario now as well. Is that new like the pink Kevin or just something I've missed over the last year?

    WWE Hall of Fame to Universal?

    Have to disagree with your comment on the TV shows. Regardless of quality (and they've almost all been bad) the ratings for WWE shows have almost always been well above whatever station that has been airing them's average. The problem is that the viewers that come to watch the show don't stick...

    WWE Hall of Fame to Universal?

    I'd have to go through issues of the printed Observer, but Dave Meltzer has been tracking this stuff for 20+ years now and nothing has changed. From the low points of the early 90s, to the red hot late 90s/early 2000s, wrestling fans stick with wrestling. It's the reason all the "B" shows (the...

    WWE Hall of Fame to Universal?

    I'm not sure there's any evidence wrestling fans would support this, financially, at all. There's a reason a show like Raw that has dominated cable ratings for over a decade gets fractions of ad revenue that much less successful shows do. All the data points to the fact that wrestling fans are...

    WWE Hall of Fame to Universal?

    I went there once as well. Still the only restaurant I've been to that offered to sell the menu. Outside of the XFL I think the restaurant was WWE's biggest flop with a loss of something like $20Million. EDIT: Just noticed original story was from WrestleZone. I would consider them to be...
