    Disney Skyliner - Gondola Transportation System

    Multiple lines loading? You mean EXACTLY as I said? There can be MULTIPLE LINES going out of one station. But they aren't going to the same place. There will be ONE line leaving Epcot. And ONE line leaving DHS. Do you even read what you are quoting? The current WORLD RECORD is a line that...

    Disney Skyliner - Gondola Transportation System

    I see your reading skills are nowhere up to your passive-aggressive gif skills. Clearly didn't say "only". CLEARLY. You think that Disney doesn't do things to hurt Universal? Disney didn't buy Mears to hurt Universal? Disney didn't build DHS to hurt Universal? Disney didn't kill the...

    Disney Skyliner - Gondola Transportation System

    Passive-aggressive responses are so popular on these boards! Does it take too long to type out: "Hey, I have nothing of worth to add, so here's me being a moron! Please enjoy!" Thanks! Maybe next time do something with a Minion!

    Disney Skyliner - Gondola Transportation System

    (Okay, so that was long and I wanted to add some more, so separate post! Lucky you!) It seems to me that Disney is dooming this right from the start. It doesn't feel like they got all the information they needed before planning this all out. They know this gondola system was really the only...

    Disney Skyliner - Gondola Transportation System

    Angels will float down from the heavens and shoot rainbows out of their angelbooties if this thing gets anywhere close to 4000 an hour. Currently they top out at 5000 per hour USING 35-PERSON CABINS. IN A SINGLE-LINE SYSTEM. IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. So how exactly will 8-person cabins in a...

    Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

    I obviously am not up on my Harry Potter canon. The Wiki says that it's an abandoned house in Hogsmeade but all pictures show it by itself in the middle of nowhere. So it's rural Hogsmeade. It can be reached via a passage hidden by the Whomping Willow, which is in Hogwarts proper. So here's the...

    Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

    That's not how ride buildings work. Look at a satellite view of any ride. The ride buildings are almost always big boxes. The queue buildings are almost always lower-ceilinged annexes to those blocky ride buildings. That's because ride buildings are basically big warehouses and require different...

    Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

    GIFs... for the person who has nothing interesting to add to the conversation. One rung above just saying "No". A thousand rungs below actual sentences.

    Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

    I know what a pitch is. The most hilarious - and, frankly, incompetent - feature of this "just the pitch, never the plan" argument is that it means Universal had planned FROM THE BEGINNING to spread Nintendo out over all their parks, yet didn't bother to pitch that to Nintendo. WHAT?!?!? You...

    Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

    Not necessarily. It was a demonstration of the thought process that was based on various rumors. Last I heard, Toon Lagoon was still up in the air but DreamWorks is the frontrunner in this exact moment in time. (It's had every IP on the planet attached to it at some point so who knows what the...

    Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

    They had ZERO clue it would be this popular. Just as they had ZERO clue a Harry Potter land would create lines out the front gate. To assume anyone KNOWS how much traction something will garner is what's INSANE here. You need proof? Look at the original plans for this land. It had everything...

    Nintendo Coming to Universal Parks

    Universal doesn't need every land to be an anchor. They just need one or two characters that they can use in advertising and lesser characters to fill out the park. Harry Potter and Nintendo are those anchors right now. DreamWorks just fills out the roster. That said, when Nintendo was first...

    Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

    The queue building is supposedly staying. Doubtful it's going to be a castle anymore, as that doesn't really fit into the Forbidden Forest mythology. In fact, it remaining is probably the biggest indication that this is going to be an indoor coaster. All they really need to do is put a gate to...

    T2:3D - Battle Across Time Memorial Thread

    Okay, I'm about to become even MORE annoying! The Universal Monsters "Dark Universe" (eye roll) was touched upon earlier, but really only as a walkthrough attraction, which we know won't happen. But why can't they be a show? Why can't they be the Graveyard Revue come back to life? Honestly...

    T2:3D - Battle Across Time Memorial Thread

    I don't think it would necessarily go to the campy side. These stunt shows have kind of a formula, one that doesn't change all that much from show to show. WaterWorld and Miami Vice are practically the same show with a few tweaks here and there. Take either show, change the set, make the leads...

    They're not going to build out the theater. If they wanted a huge theater, they have the Fear Factor Live theater, the Sindbad theater and the Toon Lagoon theater, none of which are currently featuring anything worthwhile. This theater was chosen as it'll obviously be a smaller production. But...

    IF they get the "rights" to Bond, it would be like Harry Potter or Marvel. They will NEVER own the movies, they would - at most - simply have the right to use the character in the theme parks. The Bond films have always been independent productions that have been distributed by the larger movie...

    Check out Google Maps. There's not a lot of room back there to build out, just a tiny triangle that's bordered by stuff that would require major demolition which simply won't happen. There's not a lot of space to expand the seating area either. There's the pre-show area, the exit and a smallish...

    The Press Release: "Terminator 2: 3-D at Universal Studios Florida will run its last shows on Sunday, Oct. 8 to make way for an all-new live action experience based on a high-energy Universal franchise. It will open in 2019. This is one of many exciting new experiences coming to Universal...

    T2:3D - Battle Across Time Memorial Thread

    OOPSIE! The site where I read the PR didn't specifically say "live-action" so I assumed that little bit was left out on purpose. That said, I'm still going with DreamWorks Animation over anything else thrown out there. This isn't a huge building. The whole thing is just a bit larger than the...
