    The Studio Screamers Thread

    Oddfellow feels like a lock. Could you imagine how many would sell if they got Freddy Fazbear as the chase? :lmao:

    Halloween Horror Nights 33 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

    Every HHN house that has relied on water effects has completely flunked in those aspects personally. Even the beloved Dead Man's Wake had an entire large scene that was basically just set dressing because the pool of water started leaking opening weekend. People talk about the curse of Corn...

    Captain America: Brave New World

    With properties as big as Marvel films in regards to tie-ins, promotional materials, etc, it can be really tough to get every single partner to delay or cancel altogether. I'm pretty certain Mcdonalds has a very packed schedule for not only producing this merchandise, but also with acquiring...

    Let's play being head of Universal Creative...

    I agree, it shouldn't need to. I do believe that they should add some extra interest during certain scenes that were left purposefully bare when it first opened, cause the spinning would make up for black walls they leave open. I think CiTH has the ability to be really wonderful, but I don't...

    Let's play being head of Universal Creative...

    CiTH is absolutely raggedy. The animatronics looky strange and melty, the sets haven't seen the best upkeep, the CGI Cat screen was laughably dated over a decade ago, the lack of spinning gives certain scenes too much dead air; I'd argue it's nowhere near the level of a Winnie the Pooh, E.T., or...

    Halloween Horror Nights 33 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

    I think there is a difference between "It kinda sucks that the IP rumors I'm most interested in are getting shot down" or "I'm not personally interested at all in this rumored lineup" and "This IP lineup sucks and let's move on to next year." It's subtle, but it is there. No one can know if...

    Epic Universe ‘Homework’ Thread

    I figured 3D World + Bowser's Fury hitting Captain Toad's levels would represent everything, but you're right! While Captain Toadette appears in Bowser's Fury, it's only as a minor cameo, no actual levels. Since Captain Toadette first showed up and is only playable in Treasure Tracker, on the...

    Epic Universe ‘Homework’ Thread

    It's something I like to do before every HHN event, which is try to experience as much of the media that a theme park attraction is based off of before I experience it in person! It's honestly been a good bit of fun and always lets me appreciate the use of the property much more than going in...

    Halloween Horror Nights 33 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

    I say "lose" as shorthand meaning that it is no longer being considered as a major and collectively vetted rumor, rather than Universal actually losing the rights to the IP or something. Is it entirely accurate to say "lose"? Not at all, and there should probably be a different term for this...

    Universal Orlando Resort Misc Refurbs

    I prefer an E.T. style redo with incredibly nice looking additions and visible improvements to the existing infrastructure, but if it turned out to be Jurassic World, I don't think I'd be all too bummed myself. It'd be a shame to lose the classic color pallete and Hammond pre-show, but as long...

    Halloween Horror Nights 33 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

    It would be really unfortunate to lose NoES, and to not get Friday seemingly either. A big slasher icon is always a good thing for the event, and Mikey/Leatherface need a break. If not this year, I hope NoES or Friday finally make it for the 34th next year. It'd just be nice to see it back after...

    DisneyForward Expansion Project

    Very interested to see the turnout. I believe part of the holding pattern that I've complained about Disney practicing for years is due to the recent political matters like the Desantis battle in Orlando and DLF in Anaheim. I'm curious if after both are done they finally stop dangling crumbs to...

    Minion Café - USF

    I like the sign honestly. Large and well built, with a fun and surprisingly tasteful bit of art surrounding it. The Transformers ext. queue is the final bit that really feels out of place here now, but it is what it is. Honestly they've done a really great job with this mini-land already. The...

    Halloween Horror Nights 33 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

    Not to get into a thing here, but I really disagree. I think the art design and setting of Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria and the original five animatronics + the Puppet are really fantastic and very recognizable for those with any knowledge on the franchise. It was one of the major bright spots of...

    Islands of Adventure 25th Anniversary

    Makes sense, and I'm glad they were able to make this cross-IP merch at all given the licensing.

    Legoland Florida

    Given that Sealife is seeming to continue the in-park add-on ticket concept, I don't think the Waterpark is getting an exclusive gate anytime soon. I don't think there is any infrastructure to support a tram either. LLFL is pretty landlocked as is. The board linked on the last page seems to...

    Islands of Adventure 25th Anniversary

    Definitely really cool to see this classic style merch! I like the corny, 90s/2000s style design, it fits the anniversary really well in the same way the USF merch captured that aesthetic perfectly. The Dueling Dragons merch for HHN last year, and the version being sold in LC today, captured the...

    Dark Universe (Epic Universe)

    Said it way earlier in this or another Epic thread, but legitimately if the Invisible Man gets a Potter Wand-style GAT vignette in the land somewhere, that's all my SO and I would need to be satisfied with Dark Universe as Invisible Man fanatics. It's disappointed for him not to be in the big...

    The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hogsmeade (Orlando): Part 2

    These are the kinds of little incremental pre-Epic price creeps we were talking about in the Kong thread. They need to tighten the budget this year, and that means little tweaks to keep as much money circulating back to them as they can. It's certainly not fun to see these kinds of things, but...
