    Revenge of the Mummy Refurbishment (Late 2022)

    Unfortunately I cannot find any good pictures to show you, but yes, typically aiming for the head or shoulder area will get you scores. While riding though, you will probably notice the "off color" circles on figures and props that I mentioned before, those typically have a hidden target device...

    Revenge of the Mummy Refurbishment (Late 2022)

    There are no hidden sensors on the Big Bug. As for the sensors on others, you can typically see spots that are a little off color from the rest of the bodies.

    Universal Studios Japan General Discussion

    Yeah..... The amount of people in the park. I've been to Epcot for the 4th of July multiple times, I would take that over the crowds I saw at USJ anyday. The Hollywood Dream coaster was 180 min for forward facing car, 200 for backwards. Spiderman was 160 at worst. Jurassic Park also required a...

    Universal Studios Japan General Discussion

    I took these photos over this past weekend. Yes, they are still doing time tickets. You pickup your ticket near the UO equivalent of Central Park. I picked mine up, but the time for entry was only about 30 minutes later, so not bad at all. When I got into Hogsmeade, the area was packed...

    Wizarding World - Diagon Alley Discussion (Opens 2014)

    Don't know about when it will be, but it seems odd to hold it in January other than to A. Bring in a small flux of guests in an otherwise unbusy time and B. Figure out logistics for this type of event for a larger Harry Potter week when Diagon Alley is finished. They could easily make it a...

    Very true, Alas, I must be content with seeing Rip Ride rockit topping over some trees :(

    I arguably live closer to the park entrance than that complex, right on Vineland Rd. It would be close

    I WAS IN THAT MOVIE! I MET HER AND SHE TALKED TO ME! She gave me a bruise doing the cafeteria fight scene.

    Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

    Maybe I am misreading what he said, but I think he means why doesn't Universal lower their prices, making it much cheaper than Disney, not both colluding. Lower prices mean more people will go to Universal instead of Disney. This starts getting into predatory pricing at a certain point.

    Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

    My friends came down and visited this past weekend and we went to Islands on Saturday. We got there about 12:30 but we were basically done with the park by 7ish. We skipped seuss land but rode everything else, and even walked onto dragon challenge 6 times and rode hulk/FJ twice. They definitely...

    You have to be a member to read the thread, so it keeps lurkers out while rewarding members, which HateToFly seems to be doing by telling us some new details on the future of the parks.

    Springfield Expansion

    The double batter chicken platter? I tried it the day it opened. It was pretty good all around, though I am not one for coleslaw so I didn't try that. The chicken batter was also a little tough for my liking.

    Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

    I have friends who are Disney Vacation Club members and normally spend about 12 days every trip at Disney, but they will be visiting Universal for an extra day or 2 next week with me. I never thought they would step into Universal property, but they want to see Harry Potter and Transformers.
