    Seuss Landing Expansion Speculation

    Guys, come on. You're Universal fans and "experts" - you should know how to spell "Seuss".

    Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit

    Now that summer's here and the park is (finally) open late again, I can't wait to ride it at night again - that's the best! Tip: I made myself a little wallet-sized cheat sheet of all of the tracks, including the hidden ones so I always have it with me. (I have the Rockit app on my ipod, but...

    Manta

    I think you're crazy if you think there's no difference between front & back. Every coaster aficionado knows the back is more intense than the front. I've done both on Manta (and every other coaster in FL), and I'll never do back again on Manta - that pretzel nearly made me black out! :) Don't...

    Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit

    New x-car designs announced at IAAPA. "Maurer Soehne of Germany introduced a pair of modifications to their existing coasters: a spinning car model for its non-inverted looping track (used on Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit at Universal Studios Orlando) and a floorless version of its shoulder...

    The Future of Lost Continent (Poseidon Fury closing May 9)

    I don't see anything changing there anytime soon. I remember reading somewhere that Universal has an agreement with JKR to expand Potter every so many years. I'll try to find that article. Leaving that area as is would be a simple expansion for the future.

    HHN 19 - Ripped from the Silver Screen

    Was that ever disappointing! If you were hoping for a scare in that zone, forget it. It was jam-packed with people taking photos with all the scareactors. And when you were able to walk around, the scareactors were just walking around not interacting or even trying to scare you. Lame. Plus I...

    HHN 19 - Ripped from the Silver Screen

    I'm just waiting for the day that I find my drunk ass in someone's picture!

    HHN 19 - Ripped from the Silver Screen

    Great shots Disneyhead! I went last night and was extremely upset with the accuracy of the wait times. We entered SAW at 30min and ended up at 55min. Spawning was 20 posted, and when we saw the line, it looked like at least 45 so we left. Went to Cleaver 30 posted, waited 60. Dracula was...

    HHN 19 - Ripped from the Silver Screen

    Anyone else heading out tonight for the first Wed? I am. I'm really hoping it won't be as busy as the last Thurs/Suns have been. We'll see!

    HHN 19 - Ripped from the Silver Screen

    You are brave! Glad I decided to not go last night! That's exactly what I was afraid of. Did you actually wait for a house, or just walk around? I have an issue with waiting over 45min when I know (normally) I can wait until the next 'off' night and hit it right away waiting around 10min. Were...

    Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit

    I got it last night. It's a lot simpler than I expected, but it serves the purpose. It'd be nice if it included pictures. I like that you can hear a sample of the song in itunes too. Hey, it's only 99 cents. I've thrown better money after much worse!

    Halloween Horror Nights 19 Reviews & Photos

    Yeah, last night was crazy. I finally saw Dracula - amazing! Great scares & overall atmosphere. I think it's now my favorite. I got into the park at about 6:45 and went straight to Dracula & the wait was already at 45min! That was my last house to see, so I wasn't about to wait over 45min for...

    HHN 19 - Ripped from the Silver Screen

    I agree - thursday night was nuts!! Not only more visitors but also scareactors. The Ghosthunters guys had a massive line, so I only got a peek from the side. New Experience & Tip: I entered Chucky just as they were doing a cast change, and I was held back in line in the house by an attendant...

    HHN 19 - Ripped from the Silver Screen

    Yea it's Thursday again! Hoping to see Chucky tonight. And maybe even make a stop to see the Ghosthunters. That's one of the things that I think HHN does really well - they keep adding to the event as it goes on. Noticed on Sunday that they are now selling Red Stripe too!

    Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit

    I posted this in the HHN thread, but it makes more sense here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here's my speculation on why Rockit won't be running during HHN: Nighttime rides is the last thing this coaster has going for it. Everyone is dying to...

    HHN 19 - Ripped from the Silver Screen

    Ha - well said. :) I don't think anyone is saying the zone is not nicely detailed, or acted appropriately to the part. It's just not that scary to walk into a wide-open rotunda with little "freak shows" happening around the sides. What I think always makes for a successful SCARY zone is...

    HHN 19 - Ripped from the Silver Screen

    That would be awesome! They'd sell more shirts if there where choices beyond the lame screenprint-of-every-house look they always do. Understated, simple quotes/logos like that is what people want. I'm kicking myself for not buy a shirt out at HOS that just said "DED girls do it better"...

    HHN 19 - Ripped from the Silver Screen

    Here's my speculation on why Rockit won't be running during HHN. Nighttime rides is the last thing this coaster has going for it. Everyone is dying to ride it at night. I think they're going to save that experience for whenever it finally has it's official Grand Opening Party. I'm one of the...

    Specialty Drinks, huh? I bet those prices are pretty scary! :)

    Halloween Horror Nights 19 Reviews & Photos

    HHNGuy - my sentiments exactly! Silver Screams was also my favorite. Was disappointed as well to see sets from my previous favorite house (Body Collectors) used in Frank's and not executed as well. Hopefully they get the kinks worked out from last weekend and upcoming nights will be even...
