I agree 100% with this point of view. I'm not asking for perfection, and I have to say I really like it when designers find clever ways to hide/attenuate the presence of a show building by using other techniques than a gigantic rockwork mountain (King Kong's painted backdrop, Diagon alley's...

That's exactly what I thought, it will be interesting to see what the future concept for the Monsters extension pad will be and how the Universal teams will tackle these challenges. I also have some concerns about the visible roofs. A simple way to visually reduce their impact would have been...

Hello everyone Do you think this area will be a themed backdrop for guests in the overflow queue (#1 on the sketch) or an outdoor queue? I hope it won't be the latter, because of the way they built this area, there's no room to put a berm or trees to hide the massive show building. I'm also...

Thank you very much ! It's always a pleasure to contribute to IU

Hi everyone! ! :) Yesterday, my boyfriend showed me an Instagram story about an apartment with a view of the Sacré Coeur, and something struck me, I think the view of the cathedral in this post might be close to the perspective Universal is trying to replicate. I live nearby and having a...

Thank you for your reply, I will try to call or email them!

Hello all, As a non-US resident, I wanted to know if Universal usually release all HHN merchandise on the UOR website or not? I am very interested in the posters/banners and at the moment there is a very limited selection of items on the website. Thank you very much!

I can't get over the idea that the Sacré Cœur is being built thousands of miles away in a theme park in Florida when I got to see it every day while I'm doing the dishes or taking a shower ! The view from my kitchen and bathroom windows (no zoom)

Thanks ! Yeah I think that too, can’t wait to see how they will manage all of this !

Hello guys, long time no post here, The Universal Monsters land is the one I‘m looking forward to the most, I’m trying to analyze all the constructions photos out there and here’s what I think (and hope) Universal will do to hide the sidelines of the massive show building behind the castle...

Hello guys! As a landscaping junkie, I wanted to ask those of you who have visited the ride frequently since it opened if you have noticed any significant plant and tree growth? I was especially wondering if the trees were starting to cover the "drop section" show building out back ? And...

Also one thing i wanted to add, i don't understand why they always try to pushed forced perspective when comes to rocks work, it's OK for something to didn't look bigger than it actualy is ! Forced perspective is a well established technique ! You can easily tell in the design stages if it's...

I 100% agree with you ! Trees, bushes, water plants add so much to any atmosphere. It's a shame they didn't put any trees or some kind of landscaping to better integrate the rockwork. I believe that you can have the best rock work in the world, spend tens of millions on it ! But if the...

Well I guess it’s a question of personal taste Then I totally agree with you concerning the picture i’ve used, also the sun directly hitting the rocks made the colors very vibrant (and if you add the filter ...) Concerning the sculpture the point i was trying to made was about the art...

I agree with you concerning the mountains. I really appreciate the efforts Universal is making with rockwork in this park (transformers base, the HP rockwork is looking better than ever) but my problem with the JP one is the art direction. The mountains colors appears to be oversaturates and...

I agree with you on that. I've photoshoped a mountain range a la Kong. It looks pretty cool, although it wouldn't fit in with the rest of the potter show building. The best alternative would undoubtedly be rockwork. I always wondered why Universal wouldn't put some money aside overs the years...

Hi everyone, I love the concept, it makes me so excited for what will follows, For me, the only odd thing is that I don't know what to think about the use of an hotel as the focal point. I mean, at Disneyland Paris (I'm French), we have the beautiful Disneyland Hotel at the entrance of the...

Yes seems logical, Interesting question though ! Thanks for the reply :thumbsup:

So Alicia what’s your saying is that the Gothic ruins are not count as rockwork ? What I mean is that, I’ve always thought that rockwork was a general term for all brick/stones/rockwork etc Everything that used projected and sculpted concrete... :what:

Yeah that can work, anything that look old, with moss, green-ish can beautify complete this ruins setting. Because that white Las Vegas casino rooftop really broke the immersion from this coaster section ! Maybe something like this
