    Universal's Epic Universe Construction Thread

    I'm not sure how I feel about the latest RoboCoaster model... :confused:

    Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

    But the guest experience encompasses all of those things, does it not? Not just the attractions that are most popular. Even if you just allow the least popular thing in the park to rot, or cut crucial aspects of that one experience, you're still negatively affecting your overall guest...

    Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

    If that's how Universal truly feels, then common sense says you don't make cuts to the ride. You make the investment to replace it with something else that you predict you and your guests will find more value in. This is just bad business, regardless of one's opinions on the ride itself.

    Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

    Hey, Universal, could you maybe try NOT being so cheap & actively ruining your product that gets exorbitantly more expensive for its customers every year? I promise it isn't that difficult. We know you have the money, it used to be ours. What's that old adage for business owners? You have to...

    Halloween Horror Nights 32 (UOR) - Reviews, Photos, & Videos

    The carnival games were loud, tacky clutter. I'm glad they're gone personally. HHN rarely has anything with an actual Halloween theme. It's not the norm, so you shouldn't expect it. The key word here is horror. Halloween is merely the excuse for said horror. I mean the event starts at the...

    Halloween Horror Nights 32 (UOR) - Reviews, Photos, & Videos

    You... actually liked the carnival games? :neutral: I realize Monsters Cafe was infinitely more suitable for the event theme-wise, but we didn't actually lose a dining location as Minion Cafe is open during the event. I don't think the event needs an attraction that relates directly to...

    Halloween Horror Nights 32 (UOR) - Reviews, Photos, & Videos

    I have a few drinks in me (I recommend the Feliz Muerte) and haven't done this in a while, so here's my entirely premature house reviews/rankings, because why not? So far this feels like a definite off-year to me, at least compared to the 3 consecutive (not counting 2020) very strong years we...

    Universal Orlando Price Increases (General)

    So Universal's APs can be more expensive than Disney's, but because it doesn't cost a literal arm and a leg compared to buying a however-many-day ticket, it's still "too cheap," despite Disney having twice as many parks? Yeah.... no. That logic doesn't fly at all. And I think you were speaking...

    Universal Parks & Resorts becomes Universal Destinations & Experiences, new park logos

    They probably are. :shifty: PS: RIP Central & South America

    The Old HHN 30 Speculation Thread (2020)

    I'd be more worried about the information itself rather than when you receive it. :out:

    General Discussion - Jurassic World: The Ride

    Let's not and just say we did.

    General Discussion - Hagrid's Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure

    It appears to be doing the opposite. It was down for most of yesterday. It didn't even open until around 2:00.

    General Discussion - Hagrid's Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure

    I finally tried riding today... and it broke down just as I got to the platform. :shifty: Still rideless, but now I have a fancy red Express pass for my troubles. Oh, and possible heat stroke.

    Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

    Well there's an incident just waiting to happen.

    Halloween Horror Nights 29 General Discussion

    It was unprecedentedly awful. Stage managers need to do their jobs this year and remind actors they aren't getting paid to fraternize.

    Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

    Yes, any ideas people? :sneak: I would participate, but I'm not eligible for this sweepstakes, if you catch my drift. :shh:

    Annual Pass Friends/Family Discount?

    To piggyback on this conversation... I'm planning on going with some friends late September. If I buy the annual pass for a start date of Sept 30, could I buy the discounted tickets for my friends for the same day? Or do I have to use my annual pass before I can buy any discounted tickets?

    Liquids Ban

    Must be Buy Our Overpriced Beverages Day. No thanks. Also, they're apparently making people throw dozens of water bottles into the trash. So much for the Green is Universal shtick, eh?

    Mardi Gras 2015

    I'm not sure which float it was, but the driver was still there as a placeholder, so you could tell the actual float was missing.

    Mardi Gras 2015

    Worst Mardi Gras ever? In addition to already having an extremely weak concert lineup, the parade has reached a new low. No theme, zero new floats (no, throwing in a very basic Superstar Parade "float" doesn't count), one of them even appeared to be MISSING altogether, and even the character...
