    Most consecutive loops around TeAwa the Fearless River?

    What is the highest number of times you've gone around the Fearless River? My regular is two or three, so three is my highest. Feel like I could do 9 or 10 though (especially if they put a bar in somewhere along the way)!

    Universal Globe pictures

    We have a slideshow when our PC "sleeps" and I was just noticing the Uni Globe pics we have. It's kind of cool seeing them through the years! Do you take a "Universal Globe" pic every visit? We definitely do. And, do you wait until it rotates just right? Thinking about it, we never get the...

    Misspelled Spider-Man Parking Signs

    I might be the only one bothered by this, but it drives me crazy. See that? Spider-Man is hyphenated. Universal didn't make that up, it is the character's name. So what in the ever-loving-hell is this still here for? Come on! Just get some interns on this! It has been 20 years...

    The Sandman

    They did it. Holy poop they did it. Comic book adaptions are all over the place, but they did it. For one of the best comics ever. Love how how they are using The Corinthian to tie things together. I'm on ep 4 . Freaking John Dee, Dr. Destiny, and the diner is next. I'm also from...

    Skold '22 TR: Uni and BGT, and also maybe some lunch

    Leaving tomorrow! UOR, then driving to Tampa on 6/1 The only thing worth reporting on here, IMO, is EPH for both parks and how does that affect Hagrids and VC touring? I'll keep you posted.

    2022 BGT Touring Plan?

    Aight, I've read down this forum and there is a pretty good plan pre-IG. But... I'm headed to BGT for June 2, after a week at UOR, and I have not been to Tampa in over 20 years. I'm a rope-dropper, so what is a good plan? IG, Cheeta Hunt, Cobra, Montu? I'm looking for a good 4 - 5 ride...

    Hog's Head

    Hate to start a new thread for a single question, but I did a search and got nuttin'. Last time I was in IOA, (May 2021) all Hog's Head seating was reserved for Three Broomstick diners, and the back patio was also off-limits to those of us who like to get a beer and sit back there. Is that...

    Every EP hotel sold out

    Wow! So, we usually do a last week of May/few days in June visit, and split that between CBBR and an EP hotel (like maybe a 8/4 day split depending on AP discounts). I was able to get CBBR reservations online but couldn't get any of the 3 EP hotels. So I called, hoping it was a glitch, and...

    Disney '81 Nostalgia

    To set this up, my father passed away in December (he was 81, so not unexpected) and I was up at the house for the second time since then and did a lot more cleaning out. Below are some neat mementos I found from our trip to WDW in 1981. I love seeing when people post stuff like this, so I hope...

    Doom Patrol (HBO Max)

    Anyone else watching this? So, the 3rd season just dropped; the first two were on that short-lived DC Universe service but are now on HBOMax. This has got be to be the greatest super-hero team series ever. Unless you like the cookie-cutter movies. Where to start? Mr. Nobody and his...

    I Think You Should Leave

    I'm a little surprised no one here is talking about this! Well, maybe not since it is a family site. I cannot stop thinking about this: Turbo team! You gotta give! We have to find who did this! Besides the obvious best one, Harley Jarvis, what are your favorites? And did you ever get sloppy...

    May 2021 annual-ish trip

    Well, we're doing it! Leaving tomorrow for our first visit since July 2019. CBBR for 6 nights, Hard Rock for 4 (first time staying there!). We're all vaxxed so my biggest concern is that Gas Buddy is accurate - it's about a 470 mile drive so we need at least one fill-up along the way. I'll...

    Hulk Coaster First B&M Launch Coaster?

    So, @Yung1522 posted this awesome amazing video about the opening of IOA. It is fantastic - there's even a commercial from the original VHS recording! XD There is a bit about UC researching ways to launch Hulk. This got me wondering - why did they even have to research this? Was it the...

    Paris!

    Been considering a DLP trip. Don't think I can do it, but I'd love to hear what you all think. HM is my favorite attraction ever, and Phantom Manor looks like it would make me... do messy things. Here's the thing though... my sister lives in Paris and I go there every few years to visit. Why...

    TR: Rope droppin' Hagrid's with that Italian flare

    Just got back from a three-night stay at UOR. Sure, we were there for 10 nights in late May but we did not get the Hagrid softs that we were hoping for, we missed a few odds and ends on our checklist, and there was a great APH rate at Portofino. I only used the APH discount rate once before...

    Tapu Tapu planning and logistics

    If you Tapu in to a ride that has, let's say, a 120 minute time, can you safely Tapu in to "Ride Now" slides without losing your place in line on that first ride? There are two things that confuse me about this: 1) If you Tapu a ride after being already Tapu'd in previously to something else...

    MSHI soundtrack

    So, apologies in advance but I swear I did a search! Does anyone know the MSHI playlist? All of my Google-foo leads me to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E. And,while these tracks definitely play, I am certain there are more. In particular, there are tracks that sound like KMFDM...

    Skold TR: Patty Melt Disasters and Oh That Airtime

    Hi everyone! So, we just got back from our 8th OUR trip in 6 years. It's about a 7-hour drive for us so we (me, Wife & Kid) go at least annually. We stayed at CBBR for 10 nights. This is our 5th time here, and it is definitely a favorite. This year, we got our best room ever, 7th floor...

    SeaWorld Touring plans?

    So, we're headed down in May and doing a SeaWorld day this year. (Universal is the anchor each year, with something else, like DAK, for a day or two). I haven't been to SW since 1993. lol! So, any early morning touring plan advice? For example, if someone were to ask me how to do USF, I'd...

    [TR] Jekyll Island, GA 2018

    Just went on a great 3-day trip to Jekyll Island, and after seeing the epic report from @UK-Trigg, and the promise of one from from @donald-razorduck, I realized that this forum is not just for Orlando trips. So, here goes! So, Jekyll Island. A little-known island just south down the line of...
