    (Rumor) New Potter Attraction to Replace Fear Factor Live?

    I think we should kill this before we all get our hopes up.

    Universal's New Park/Site B Blue Sky Thread

    There is a risk to every investment in the world. Didn't mean for this to blow up as much as it has. I don't care for confrontational discussion. I just wanted y'all to know that the pace and scale of new projects at WDW will be quite astonishing in the coming decade. Whether you keep that in...

    Universal's New Park/Site B Blue Sky Thread

    The SW hotel is nothing more than a test bed. It has little in common with the project I'm talking about. Pricing is not an issue for this project.

    Universal's New Park/Site B Blue Sky Thread

    Perhaps. All I'm saying is that building another gate at Universal is much riskier with Disney's current mindset. It may be a runaway success for Universal. Time will tell.

    Universal's New Park/Site B Blue Sky Thread

    Disney has quite the genius idea, taking hotel and theme park integration to a whole new level. I don't have any idea what Universal's third gate is going to look like. But, from what I know, Disney's future ambitions couldn't be more monetarily advantageous.

    Universal's New Park/Site B Blue Sky Thread

    It's not. I'm not saying it's going to ruin Universal! All I'm saying is that another park costs a ton of money. If 2 open around the same time, and one is significantly better than the other, well one is going to probably have a harder time breaking even, which could stall future development...

    Did I write something that offended you? It's just an analogy.

    Universal's New Park/Site B Blue Sky Thread

    Look, I can't say much. But, the Star Wars Hotel is a guinea pig, for a mind blowing project that hasn't leaked yet. (And 100x greater in scope than the hotel.) Again, Disney feels they won't need to build it in Orlando unless Universal announces their 4th gate. It is currently planned to be...

    Well...it will be a bad thing for Universal's ROI, let's put it that way. Sort of like Japan bombing Pearl Harbor.

    Universal's New Park/Site B Blue Sky Thread

    Disney has something else planned to combat a potential 4th gate at Universal. I've known about it for several months now and some incredibly subtle words uttered in today's keynote confirmed it. Ironically, building a 4th gate may be Universal's worst possible move. Disney, and I'm not kidding...

    Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser

    Hint: the words at 1:57 are VERY SIGNIFICANT particularly for Disneyland. Hint, hint! ;) (And no, Disney isn't building a replica in Anaheim. I'm talking about something much bigger.) If everything goes well, WDW will get it too.

    D23 Expo 2017 - News & Speculation

    And Nintendo? I'm very skeptical. Tokyo's SNW is planned for 2020, and construction is starting already. Kidzone is still open. How are they going to open Nintendo in 2021? Hard to believe.

    MSHI Expansion?

    Speak for yourself. But, I wouldn't bet on it. I think people on this forum think money grows on trees at Comcast. It takes 5 years to build a Disney/ Universal theme park. If they were to open by 2023, there would be substantial movement right now. There's none. I know for a fact that UC has...

    MSHI Expansion?

    Comcast can't afford to be constructing 2 entire theme parks within a few years of each other. Not going to happen.

    MSHI Expansion?

    The 3rd gate will arrive...eventually. I don't see any way it's open before 2025. I expect opening in 2028. I simply don't believe they'll even begin construction until several years after USB opening.

    Volcano Bay: General Discussion

    According to some reports, many were waiting in 45 min lines even after waiting for 300 minutes to have the privledge to do so. This is obviously an opening week ops issue but still... Universal has geared the park toward rides, not relaxation. When the average guest is lucky to ride 2 rides in...

    See above. The queue system has a fundamental systemic flaw. Instead of lambasting me, try hearing my argument and responding with your views. I welcome them.
