    Next Attraction To Go?

    I think you're wrong. I would spend time in a dentist's office at this point before spending time at the MK, but to say that their attraction roster is the same as Universal's trend towards 3D, or screens in general as a way to carry attractions, is simply a poor comparison. There is a reason...

    Next Attraction To Go?

    No worries. Marvel, LOTR, Harry Potter, JP, BTTF, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Simpsons, Universal Horror, Despicable Me, Disney Princesses, unfortunately TMNT, Star Trek, etc. Universal has a track record of bringing their own, and other outside IP, that are all top notch. ET, Jaws, MIB, Seuss...

    Next Attraction To Go?

    I also think F&F is a lame IP. Transformers is attractive to the similar demo that F&F appeals to, albeit does so in a better way, and Transformers is already in that area of the park. It will more than likely have a similar motif, with fast-paced movement projected on screens. I would...

    Simpsons Ride Audio Changes?

    I guess that makes sense. I found it odd, since it is a film rather than triggered audio cues. Thanks Fallow!

    Simpsons Ride Audio Changes?

    Was on Simpsons earlier this summer, are they having audio troubles or did they remove bits of dialogue? Namely, when Homer talks about being sick going backwards. Thanks, and apologies in advance if this has been covered, I looked in the Expansion thread with no luck

    New "Film Vault" Store

    I need a new "Amity Swim Team" shirt. I hope they have found some for the store, haven't seen any since the ride's last summer season.

    Next Attraction To Go?

    I thought conventional wisdom has ET staying put for larger priorities.. Something new happened?

    Disaster rehab soon?

    Great, thanks for the quick reply. My mind immediately went to the two restaurant complexes...

    Disaster rehab soon?

    Teebin, does the rumor include a redesign to SF's waterfront; either demo, re-purposing, or left alone?

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

    So back at the New Year, HTF mentioned that the ride profile would be changed to correspond with Japan's tamer profile? Was this done? Has the profile been changed past the limited movement modifications in the domes?

    Managment/Ownership Changes in Seaworld Parks

    This should be bad for any shareholder in the short-term. Very good for Blackstone. Probably won't do much for the budgetary direction of the parks, since Blackstone will most likely still be SEAS biggest shareholder.

    Cigarz Closing at End of 2013?

    They sure do. I am no regular, but good service, full bar, decent pricing for Citywalk, and good selection of cigars. Ive enjoyed starting the night there and at other times ending the night there. Would be a shame if it closes, but makes sense with the visibility and location of their...

    Cigarz Closing at End of 2013?

    Its actually a really nice chill place to go grab a drink and a cigar. You can smoke inside, and it has decent televisions. No pretentious crowd. A lot of off duty TMs and CMs frequent.

    SeaWorld's Christmas Celebration 2013

    Thanks again for the photos Bob! I am looking forward to it as well. Two quick questions: 1) Better to go on a 9p closing night or 11p closing night? What is a better tradeoff, staying later with more crowds, or leaving at 9p? 2) Any feedback on the quality of Santa's feast vs. other...

    Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

    A kind soul gave me a nice confirmation that this space was indeed originally intended for a second ultrasaur. I appreciate that it was cleared up.

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

    Thanks again Teebin. I figured it wouldn't be crickets! Good read so far.

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

    Just wanted to thank HTF for his FJ write-up. Am I missing a conversation on it somewhere else in the forums? No one has mentioned it yet.

    Christmas Town 2013

    Thanks. And no complaints from me on Seaworld. I think it is an awesome value compared to Disney. I might try it if it is above and beyond the Seaworld offerings, just need to justify the $80.00 for the group. Any advice from those on here on whether I should combine with a day visit, or...

    Cabana Bay Beach Resort

    As someone who has absorbed the price increases since USF turned into a resort in '99, I have no issue with that. Especially paying for a large family to stay at the resort/Loews. I will gladly pay the money for a solid product offering, as we did up until the late 90s at Disney. I just hope...
