    Back to the Future: The Ride

    Thank you for the information. Was always secretly hoping they could somehow have the ride return for a special event. Sad that this is not the case. It is a shame that the Bluray did not have better quality footage. Would love for this, Captain EO, and Star Tours to be on Bluray.

    Back to the Future: The Ride

    Does anyone know, is Universal able to flip a switch and have this run the Back to the Future Film/ ride profile, or is the ride/ projection system completely different?

    General Discussion - Jurassic World: The Ride

    You are talking about a lack of maintenance, which has nothing to do with a ride’s initial design. The dinos and jeep worked fine for a very long time. This would be like Disney never maintaining Pirates and people saying it needs to go because the Pirates are broken. Even when the dinos...

    General Discussion - Jurassic World: The Ride

    Definitely super sad that the greatest scene in the ride is completely gone. The giant Dinosaurs in the lagoon as you hear John William's music is a theme park moment like no other. I am very upset that this scene and these dinos are gone as they were the heart of the ride. There is no "wow"...

    Jurassic World: The Ride Construction Thread

    I think the attempts to shoehorn another villain into the ride will turn out awful and confusing. They should have kept the original ride and just performed maintenance on it. I am not excited for the new ride. When Tower of Terror closed everyone kept saying "just wait and see before judging"...

    Six Flags Magic Mountain

    I think you are kind of reaffirming my point. Six Flags is trying to just appeal to teens instead of everyone. The Batman show was always packed, even when I last saw it in 2005. My family used to go to the park annually, even when none of us were old enough to ride coasters and we had a great...

    Six Flags Magic Mountain

    I did not know that. Glad to know it is still in use. Were you not a fan of the show or was it just too hot? Wasn't there shade over the bleachers for it? It was always a full house for that show everytime I went. As an employee people would always ask me about it too even though it no longer...

    Six Flags Magic Mountain

    The current management doesn't understand what it is like to operate a park that is enjoyable for everyone. They also don't understand that people do want stuff to do in-between coasters, and that not everyone visiting wants to do coasters all day. Getting rid of Log Jammer was another big loss...

    Jurassic World: The Ride Construction Thread

    This is a terrible choice on Universal's part. I went to ride it one last time recently after hearing the news. It is easily the best ride in the park. Parks should be both modern and classic for a wide appeal. People can go to Disney and ride Haunted Mansion which they have enjoyed for 5...

    Overdue for a Studio Tour Narrator Replacement?

    It just seems very outdated to keep Jimmy's narration from so long ago, however I don't believe the park is in need of a dedicated Fallon attraction.

    Studio Tour

    I hadn't been to the park in 7 years. Can anyone tell me what happened to the Icy Tunnel/Mummy's Tomb, collapsing bridge, and the parting of the Red Sea? I was surprised when the tour did not use these and it felt super short. Fast and the Furious managed to somehow be more annoying than the...

    Overdue for a Studio Tour Narrator Replacement?

    I am an infrequent poster on here and had not been to the parks since 2011. I loved how the Studio Tour would have different narrators. I remember Ron Howard, Whoppi, as well as Access Hollywood and eventually Jimmy Fallon. After 7 years of not being at the park I was very disappointed to see...

    Revenge of the Mummy (USH)

    Does anyone else think that they need to get rid of the mummies that grab you, I will go on the most extreme rides but these guys always scare me and make me not want to ride for fear of encountering them later.

    Smoking Area's

    They should at the very least have one for each lot. Im sensitive to smoke as well but it's rude of the park to ask smokers to go down 4 huge escalators to have a cigarette.

    Revenge of the Mummy (USH)

    The original ending was really cool, the ride ended with you looking up at that cool scene of the eclipse happening and I always thought the lighting and "flames" looked great. It was more of an epic ending than "fog in the dark". If a company like Universal had to change the ending because of...

    How do you handle peak days?

    Its not worth going to any parks on peak days. As someone who has worked at a theme park (I know Im not the only one on this forum) I was able to understand what days are best to visit the parks. Go on a Sunday during off-season or take off school/work and go on a week day during off-season...

    Original Studio Tour King Kong - Holiday Edition!

    Glad to finally get a chance to see this, I remember hearing radio ads that year about there being a "King Kong Christmas Surprise" at Universal and thought it sounded really strange. I actually really like this overlay.
