    Magic Kingdom's Crowding Issues?

    LOL. Of course there is bias here, but thats why we are all mostly here. We are Universal fans over Disney fans.

    The 13 Evils

    Your best options are either the Embassy Suites or Wingate on Fowler by USF. Best tip is to get there early!

    Possible Imagination Overhaul

    Darn. This thread title tricked me into thinking that they were firing all their current Imagineers. :rofl:

    Favorite Houses of All Time

    Can't remember all the years but I always thought these houses stood out from the rest: RUN (2001) Original Screamhouse All-Nite Die In Ghost Town Scary Tales 3 Dead End

    Air Travel

    "Good" airlines is pretty subjective. Everybody's experience is likely to vary on a flight by flight basis. With that said, I personally dislike Southwest the most despite them being one of the most popular, but I think its a big cattle herd with the boarding process. When it comes to flying...

    How Many Days?

    If you plan to actually spend some time in Tampa like eat, go out, etc. I would not stay nearby Busch Gardens. The area surrounding Busch is one of the worst in Tampa. I would consider looking at hotels in the Westshore area. Great dining and shopping area and only about 15 mins to Busch...

    Halloween Horror Nights 23 Speculation

    I would attribute the tighter walk ways from construction a big reason to the busier feel of last year.

    Falcon's Fury

    Intamin. Which is slightly concerning considering all the downtime acrophobia has and that's only a 45 degree seat tilt. Anyone that's been on drop zone at either King's can attest these are pretty darn intimidating and this has a 90 degree tilt added to that. Looking forward to this as its a...

    Animal Kingdom Villa and 4 Days at WDW/Universal

    Great TR and pics! Sounds like renting points is the only way to go if not planning on staying at a value resort.

    Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

    Transformers certainly helped the cause, but was far from the sole reason for the 15% attendance increase.

    Cedar Point in 2 Weeks

    Mean Streak is much improved this year. I believe they retracked it either this offseason or last, but I thought it was actually pretty smooth compared to years past. I always had it near the bottom of my wood coaster list, but after my last visit, I actually enjoyed the ride. Lots of great...

    Cedar Point in 2 Weeks

    I got back a couple weeks ago from my first CP trip in 7 years and my sentiments were the same. Maverick blew me away- especially in the back 2 rows. Even when you know the elements are coming on Maverick, they STILL catch you by surprise. I would go as far as saying it became my #1 steel...

    2016 BGT Coaster Confirmed

    I agree. Although I didn't have a chance to ride it this past week(high winds), GK looked unimpressive and seemed to go through its elements painfully slow. Busch has a pretty good collection of B&M coasters, so I would love to see something similar to Intimidator 305. Something at least 275...

    Favorite Disney Hotel

    Beach Club. The pool is a day attraction in itself.

    2016 BGT Coaster Confirmed

    More Intamin please. And what defines a "speed" coaster?

    Designing Islands of Adventure

    Great find BJCool. This thread brought me back to the Original days of Poseidon. Anyone care to explain why they changed the show from its original version? Considering the lifespan of an attraction, they did it extremely quickly. The original version had so much more of the "wow" factor...

    Cabana Bay Beach Resort

    This is exactly why they are not building a new drop-off point for the Cabana Bay guests. Uni wants them to go through CityWalk from the start so they will be dropped off at the current Taxi/Bus drop point.
