    Super Nintendo World (Epic Universe)

    I'm hoping to go to Universal Japan in October and I'm already dreading the process of riding DK. Reservations to get into the land and then a potential 3+ hour wait for a short rollercoaster? Man. I hope it works out.

    New Parade at Universal Studios Florida (Rumor)

    Wizard of Oz float would fit perfectly in a "Mega Movie" parade considering the music, aesthetic, characters, etc. Although I'm gonna guess Scooby-Doo since that's owned by WB and has meet-and-greets in Hollywood.

    Jurassic World VelociCoaster - General Discussion

    Sooo, Velocicoaster has seemingly been having a lot of issues recently? I went to UOR over the weekend and on Saturday, the ride was down from around 9:30am to 4:30pm, and when it reopened, it was only running two trains with the output of if it were four trains. I was stalking the app all day...

    Dark Universe (Epic Universe)

    Gonna be honest, the Dracula design didn't even really catch me off guard that much so I'm not sure I really agree with the reaction lol. Outfit looks kinda MCU-y but otherwise I think he looks cool.

    How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk (Epic Universe)

    People are seriously underestimating how beloved the HTTYD films are. It's always one of the ones that gets people the most excited when I tell them about this park and I think it's going to be the sleeper hit.

    The Future of The Simpsons Ride/Springfield (Orlando)

    I know AR is very different from screenz but I can't say I love the idea of another USF attraction that requires putting on glasses and heavily looking at things that aren't physical. I mean, losing 1/3 of the simulator theaters will be a step in the right direction for the park either way, but...

    Super Nintendo World - Reviews, Photos, & Video (Spoilers)

    Did an in-depth video review of Super Nintendo World Hollywood if anyone here wants to check it out!

    The Walking Dead Attraction (Closed)

    The one big benefit to Minion Blast is that it has the equivalent capacity of two Shrek theaters but with a microscopic footprint. If they could squeeze it in, it'd really balance out the family offerings on the Upper Lot and alleviate some of the strain on Pets. But it's also a bit of a...

    Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge - General Discussion

    The same exact thing of people not using one of the staircases until realizing it's open happened when I visited. As did the single rider line not saving any time, I noticed the ops weren't really using the line that much. I wonder what the deal is.

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

    Personally I think you don't have Hyrule Castle in the land itself and instead have it be the location you are voyaging towards in the boat ride, perhaps with Ganon waiting inside. The castle is iconic but to make the land stand out from Cinderella, Hogwarts, Peach's Castle, etc., I think you...

    Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

    Toon Lagoon Theater for Waterworld or bust. I'd rather the Nintendo/Monsters expansion pad be... literally anything else, and Lost Continent as Zelda makes too much sense. (I know TL theater is smaller than the WW space but if they expand the path and are creative I think they could find a way...

    Donkey Kong Country rumored for USH?

    Nintendo phase 2 makes sense. Nintendo phase 2 might happen. Potter phase 2 makes sense. Potter phase 2 hasn't happened. They could've put a Potter phase 2 on the Lower Lot, but they chose Nintendo. They could put a Nintendo phase 2 elsewhere, but they might choose Lord of the Rings, or...

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

    I will say, expanding upon my prior point, IOA desperately needs a show as well so if a non-Zelda option were to bring that, like Waterworld + a flat ride, I think that'd work too. You could also fit a Kung Fu Panda land in there pretty easily if Madagascar ends up going into KidZone instead...

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

    Lord of the Rings warrants much more than 7 acres so that's a non-starter. More realistic non-Zelda options are Beijing's Waterworld land or a DreamWorks IP that isn't going to be featured in KidZone, and of those options I think Zelda fits IOA best and has the most merch material (short of...

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

    I for one think Universal should not build a land based off a series who's most recent game sold 30 million copies on a single system, who has 20+ critically acclaimed games that defined the gaming industry and made marks on different generations, who's owner has an extremely good relationship...

    The Future of The Simpsons Ride/Springfield (Orlando)

    I feel like closing the Simpsons areas in both coasts in 2027-28 and replacing them both with Pokemon areas (Hollywood just replacing the ride space with a new one and retheming the restaurants, Orlando doing the same but expanding into behind Springfield for additional attractions) just makes...

    Universal's Epic Universe General News & Discussion

    It's exciting that we now know the names of half the lands and half the rides. Would love if we got some official concept art for any of these by the end of the year.

    Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

    Interesting. That's what I initially expected as well but I didn't think they'd go through with it, as it could lead to confusion with guests not knowing there's a Potter attraction. I guess the land/show might still have beasts within them?

    Universal's Epic Universe General News & Discussion

    Naming the land Dark Universe is probably a terrible idea objectively but I absolutely love that they're going through with it. We're finally witnessing the beginning of a #DarkUniverse. (I really want names for the rest of the lands now too. I have no idea what they'll call the new WWoHP...

    TRON Lightcycle Run

    Rode Tron today, 5 times in a row. Pretty solid addition to the park that adds capacity, expands Tomorrowland, and has a really cool aesthetic. The coaster itself is pretty mid-tier, not only being short but having several brake runs that hurt the momentum/pacing, but the unique form factor and...
