Hey all! Haven’t posted in here in a long time. Heard my Yoshi/ SNW tweets were circulating on here and wanted to clarify they’re jokes and just for self amusement. Sorry if anyone felt it was coming from actual sources or thought it was a hint of something to come for this iteration of the...
I'm absolutely terrible at analyzing concept art so this has probably been given away in the video but I wonder if the exit will be changed to face the new animation store. I remember when the extended queue was used for HHN, we would leave through the Shrek queue exit facing Cartooniversal.
Kinda wish they enclosed the extended queue (that's next to Hippogriff) and incorporated it into the building. Since this attraction is themed as a screening room, it would have been nice to have a large indoor queue filled with props and other memorabilia kinda like Fallon.
I personally feel like USH has pulled ahead from the other studio parks (not IOA) when it comes to park-wide theming. They're really doubling down on the 1930s Studio theming with Mission revival and Art-Deco architectures. I'm glad USH didn't rush the exterior and tied it with the park theme...
The building looks so beautiful with the Spanish motifs and mission revival architecture! Interesting that this new façade, Cartooniversal's replacement and all the other buildings along this side follow spanish theming while Universal Blvd and Plaza are mainly Art-Deco. Should blend well and...
USH was never master planned to be a theme park.
As for Fallon coming to USH in the Shrek 4D space? It fits the space sure but I wouldn't hold my breath. If it were going in that space I would expect the New York façades to be removed in favor of 30 Rockefeller Plaza which would probably fit...
I wouldn't put any stock into what the Studio Tour guides say is going into that specific expansion plot. Some say Nintendo, others say DreamWorks, Secret Life of Pets, Diagon Alley etc.
The queue saw the biggest change. It also serves as a berm to cover up Hogsmeade so that probably won't see any changes outside of the marquee. Since most the changes will probably happen within the building I guess nothing will happen with the NY façades?
If you do the day/night ticket combo for Halloween Horror Nights out here, you'll gain entry into the park around 3pm. Honestly it's enough time to see all the unique additions of the park and get early entry into the mazes around 5. HHN out here gets horrendously crowded very early on so I...
Not that I'm aware of. The Forbidden Forest section of the queue is massive and guests are re-routed into this area before entering the dungeons/Lockers. This area can be configured to accommodate more guests and also has a pathway that can bypass the Dungeons section of the queue. Although I've...
I'd be surprised if that pathway was used again. Aside from guests constantly tripping over things, that pathway was used as a sort of backstage area last year. I personally feel like TT operations was the biggest issue. More Trams were dropping guests off than there were Trams picking them up...
