    2nd USH Gate?

    USH is starting to expand wider than it ever has before, but is that necessarily a good thing? Even if the general public doesn't care, USH is not like the other Universal parks. It was never meant to be a multi-day vacation resort, but a behind-the-scenes look into moviemaking and film history...

    Lower Lot Redesign

    One last thought to bring it back to a general Lower Lot Redesign discussion... This may be a weird generalization, but the final reason why I think a Main Street/Innovation Center is better than a SNW is because...I think kids who love dinosaurs are the best type of kids to draw into a park...

    Btw, I'm totally cool seeing SNW at Universal Orlando. UOR was a theme park from the beginning, unlike USH, and they're bigger and actually have room for it. But USH is different, being a real working production center with a much longer history.

    Lower Lot Redesign

    I mean, there are tons of well-themed amusement parks in Japan that Nintendo could've partnered with, but sure, Universal is a good partner in that respect. And I'm sure Universal "working and working" and finally "convincing" Nintendo was just them putting enough zeroes on the check. Sorry for...

    Lower Lot Redesign

    They don't have room for Zelda and Pokemon. They just don't, which is why some Nintendo fans are saying Nintendo should have its own theme park, preferably in JAPAN where all this Nintendo stuff came from. "Some semblance of a plot." Hm... Move this to the SNW thread if you want, but what I...

    Lower Lot Redesign

    To be honest, some of the changes have been good, and even great. The way the park looks currently is perfect, in my opinion. Updating and retheming Jurassic Park to Jurassic World was wonderful, and the other additions have also managed to reintroduce certain aesthetics the park had lost: The...

    Lower Lot Redesign

    Guess we'll just have to wait and see how it looks. Maybe I'll feel differently. I just happen to be a massive Jurassic Park/World fan, and was delighted at how they updated the Jurassic ride. It seemed like a perfect opportunity to expand on something that is purely Universal and keep it...

    Lower Lot Redesign

    And that's what sucks about having to appeal to theme park consumers. I've never been inside a working soundstage either, but I appreciate what they are and the legacy they have at USH. If they have to go, replace it with something that suitably fits Universal's legacy (Jurassic Park/World is a...

    Lower Lot Redesign

    I'm not against theme park expansion. They're expanding, there's nothing I can do about it. But building a Main Street with an Innovation Center is a way better idea than building a Nintendo Land, which just feels like a random add-on

    Lower Lot Redesign

    The fact that some people are cool with USH tearing down more of its soundstages makes me wonder if they really understand what makes USH unique from other parks. And yes, I'm aware they're making progress with Super Nintendo World. I just don't think it was the best choice given the type of...

    Lower Lot Redesign

    I'm not too jazzed about USH incorporating Nintendo into their theme park. There is a possibility that the park could become too cramped and overcrowded with more I.P.'s, and they only have so much space to work with before impeding on their own production facilities (which is already starting...

    What's next for Busch Gardens Tampa??

    I know, the park's got a thing going on where veterans can come for free with up to three relatives, plus the fun card was just on sale for $59 instead of $99, and pass members are getting free lanyards this month. And there are still school and camp groups coming to the park. Right now weekdays...

    What's next for Busch Gardens Tampa??

    See, guys? BGT does get a sizable tourist crowd, and it would improve if they would just build some indoor stuff.

    What's next for Busch Gardens Tampa??

    Ah okay, that's a similar load system to what Cobra's Curse has. I guess that would help with capacity a little bit.

    What's next for Busch Gardens Tampa??

    It's just sad that a Skyrocket is what BGT is marking its 60th anniversary with. This also means that the park has yet to widen the variety of its attractions. They continue to add to what they already have enough of: roller coasters, when the park is in dire need of a dark ride or at least one...

    Looks like it's set in stone

    What's next for Busch Gardens Tampa??

    Yeah man, just drove by. That parking lot is packed tight. Sure hope they can build a two, maybe three-level garage on top of it to accommodate all that traffic in the future.

    Importance of indoor rides (in regards to weather)

    That's good they still have that system in place.
