    Springfield Expansion

    The wall that's up by The Simpson's Ride/Kwik-E-Mart is for an extension of the Simpson's Ride's queue to make up for the queue they lost when the games were added... the queue extension is also going to force them to reroute that side of the ride's exit path. Expect walls to start going up...

    There are some early concept elevations for Hogsmeade/Hogwarts here: http://maureenjohnston.carbonmade.com/projects/2586046 There's also some cool stuff for other sections of IOA: http://maureenjohnston.carbonmade.com/projects/2580994 http://maureenjohnston.carbonmade.com/projects/2587502...

    Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

    Just gonna toss this out there too... r3m1x3d is the #1 result on Google for Orlando graphic design. So using them on the document wasn't all that clever. Pretty lazy, actually.

    That fast track switch patent was for Forbidden Journey.

    I wouldn't dismiss that layout so quickly. Go back to the 'leaked' ride description Theme Park Insider posted back in January and read it while following along the path. Combine that with the fact that the "Project 7542" foundation permit called for several pits, and you might think otherwise.

    The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade (Orlando): Part 2

    That 'water feature' is nothing more than the pump that'll be used to control the new water fountains going in to the exterior queue. They're just adding a new pump and a path for any maintenance needs. It's going behind the "water gardens" area across from the discovery center:

    The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade (Orlando): Part 2

    Neither... it's just new drinking fountains for the exterior queue... yawn.

    Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

    The way I read the 'riddle' was: Harry = Harry Potter Peter = Peter Parker Potter money + Spiderman ride system = Transformers (bot)

    Yeah, the fact that Premier built Mummy is no secret... it's pretty much common knowledge amongst theme park fan sites like this... Don't know why it's such a big deal.. it's been rumored for quite some time that either Premiere or Intamin would be the ones building the Gringotts coaster, and...

    The plans came from a new SFWMD filing today. Most of the plans were censored when they were scanned, but the South Station was left uncovered. And a little word of advice to whoever runs ParkScope... make sure you're linking to the source when you're posting actual blueprints/building plans...

    Uhh... that 'rumor' started here. In this thread. Read 5 posts up. :rolleyes:

    This is the letter Universal sent to the SFWMD to get the 722 plans pulled: And as for no new plans being posted... if you look at any of the new permits filed with the City of Orlando that also require a permit with the SFWMD, you'll see this condition as MET: Meaning the plans have...

    The documents being 'sealed' isn't anything new, and has nothing to do with the fact that plans were pulled or are being kept private. Signing and sealing plans is something that's done by the engineer/architect, and it applies to all plans filed as public record...

    Halloween Horror Nights 22 Discussion

    That ParkRumors article brings up an interesting concept: Would be really cool to see that concept pulled off.

    ^ Well, DCA is holding the big Cars Land media day on June 14th. IOA also coincidentally closes at 6pm on June 14th for a 'special event'.

    The Amity Demolition Thread

    Must have just been temporary, as it was open when I was there from around 3-5ish. Might have just been moving equipment from one side of the path to the other or something.

    Halloween Horror Nights 22 Discussion

    Just because the dates of Halloween Horror Nights aren't listed as "no show" dates for Universal's Cinematic Spectacular doesn't mean that there will be a lagoon show during HHN. For starters, Universal's Cinematic Spectacular is listed as showing "9pm daily (excluding annual and special event...

    Universal’s Cinematic Spectacular - Nighttime Show

    EDIT: It seems there's a bit of conflicting information on Universal's mobile site and Universal's main site. The mobile site states: http://m.universalorlando.com/s/28082/ParkHoursSchedule?onClickVariable_16340479=Expand16340479 While the main site states...
