    The Future of PortAventura

    Fair, but Spain is already a common vacation destination. So there is a built in audience before you even get to pulling in more people.

    Universal's Epic Universe Construction Thread

    They put in that extra pump house (complete with pumps) in volcano bay in anticipation of a phase two. Still haven't seen progress there. Just because the building and infrastructure is there doesn't mean it's coming any time soon.

    Hagrid Pre-Show being bypassed?

    Weird. Honestly Seth's reporting of it is the first I've heard of it. I'm surprised I haven't seen someone else post it before now.

    The Future of PortAventura

    It would make a lot of sense. They know the build quality and theme is there. Would be fairly quick for them to bring their brands in. And Comcast is always looking for a way to grow outside the US.

    Hagrid Pre-Show being bypassed?

    This is a weird one. The path to the pre-show is closed off competly and instead there is a set of temporary stairs in place.

    Where are the BttF Ride Vehicles?

    The ride vehicle shells were tossed. The ride vehicles themselves are right where they've always been (although upgraded a little)

    Disaster rehab soon?

    They still need every spot in that lot even with the deck.

    The garage that was built back there in the TM lot just barely made it so they don't need to use an auxiliary lot.

    Diagon Alley Soft Opening Watch

    I wasn't saying how long they are up for. I was saying the art is pretty much locked in a few weeks out so it can go through approvals, get sent to the printer, get shipped to UO and sit on pallets in cages at the front of each park for a few days before being put out. So the decision on what...

    Diagon Alley Soft Opening Watch

    Nope Park maps are set up to be printed a few weeks out, so with the ever moving target of softs they had to line it up to start being printed on there at some point.

    Diagon Alley Soft Opening Watch

    You will find out the opening date soon.

    But you can make plans from June 29th forward. Grand opening or not it's going to be packed for the usual summer crowed through the end of July.

    The downfall of Android. Such bad fragmentation. It works in the park

    Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion - Part 2

    Haven't heard anything about planes for grand opening and they don't really fit. Curious. We really can't undervalue how many people were upset for phase 1's opening. For some reason people felt if they showed up on the grand opening day they would get to see the ceremony and see the stars...

    Not for opening, hopefully by the time summer is over.

    No. The ride operators use BRAC for accessing the ride for such things as evacs. The technicians use LOTO when doing active maintenance that requires the ride be brought to zero energy. Very rarely are these both done at the same time. At most rides the technicians can access the ride...

    Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion - Part 2

    See Below. ^ Correct. LOTO is still used by the technicians who do active maintenance on the ride. Ride attendands don't do active maintenance and don't require zero energy verification, just that the energy is controlled to prevent motion. Correct, months of meetings and then lots of...

    Fair.... you didn't say the words TM previews were going on. However that is the only Gringotts discussion going on when you made your "So what's going on inside Gringotts right now is just imaginary" So the implication is there. Also people have rode, but the team doesn't have ridership...

    Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion - Part 2

    Since a very sepcific training is going on today (See theuoleaker's comments) that requires the ride be de-engergized I highly doubt TM previews of the ride are going on, so yes this is made up. As far contributions your a first time poster with big news which is almost always a red flag. I...

    Or completely made up They don't use LOTO anymore, they use a similar but different system called BRAC (Basic Ride Access Control)
