    Six Flags - Florida Rumor

    Okay, I understand this rumor has been going on for over ten years. It resurfaced recently and I felt compelled to look here to see if anyone had heard anything similar. Many of you may be familiar with the Six Flags rumor regarding a park in Hernando County. If not, please see the link...

    Busch Parks to be sold?

    Completely with you on that one. I agree with most others too, it is a poorly managed park. I just hope that through all of this they find a way to turn things around. BGT might not be appealing to a lot of people, but as an area resident I value the tourism money it brings in as well as the...

    Universal Orlando Trip June 2013 Trip Report W / Photos

    June 23rd - This day was full of it's ups, and it;s downs. It was that part of the trip for my wife and I to have some alone time. My wife's mother graciously made plans to keep our daughter from Sunday to Tuesday night. I did a quick check to see what the best place for breakfast may be that...

    King Kong Speculation Thread

    First off........... LONG LIVE THE KING :kingkong: I must say, this is a fans dream come true to see Kong make his return. It does surprise me though, given Universal's pattern of introducing rides that correlate with current block buster hits. It's very left field for them. Great move on their...

    Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

    What does everyone think the best time to ride it will be? Are you thinking first thing when the park opens or right before the park closes?

    Backstage stuff on VIP Tour?

    Let me know what you think. We have three days at the parks from Saturday to Wednesday. Might be worth me upgrading to if you feel it is worth it.

    Booking in advance... best website/method?

    Not sure on air but I found the best deal for hotel/park tickets to be Universal's packages. Three of us going. We are staying at the Holiday Inn across from Universal for 4 nights, each got a 3 day park ticket, and lots of add bonuses for less than $750. And this is during peak season. - - -...

    "Old School" Universal Orlando

    This thread will never get old. I have so many fond memories of Universal over the years. The best being my fifth grade field trip. My mom was a chaperon, and she let myself and two friends ride BTTF by ourselves, as much as we wanted. The other kids in my class were jealous. The good ole days

    Need Advice for Universal November Vacation Site

    I looked in to the Hard Rock for my trip later this month. I want to say that even with the Florida resident discount the rate was $200 - $300 a night. Really steep IMO. I know it has the fast pass benefit but wish I could have found it a bit more reasonable. Unless someone here knows something...

    The Better Places in CityWalk?

    Great, will make them right away. Side note, since meeting my wife I have started eating much cleaner. Wonder, since its vacation, if I can convince her on a trip to the Whopper Bar. Anyone know if they still have the 'Angry' Whopper?

    The Better Places in CityWalk?

    Thanks guys, these are all fantastic ideas. After this, we will definitely be having dinner at the Italian restaurant at Portifino, Margaritaville, and Rising Star. Anyone recommend reservations? Will be doing these things Sunday and Monday night.

    Tips Please

    If everyone's advice does not work, look at the bright side: You can use single rider lines and skip a lot of the lines!
