Is anyone else hearing people talking about a possible fire going on right now?

Where are you getting your info? Cause right now I only have the NBC LA page pulled up and they aren't updating that fast.

Are there any other sites besides NBC LA that are covering this?

We've been getting reports that it started in the former Terminator gift shop, so we're going to limit the fire to that general area.

In short, not huge news - but news for us nonetheless.

Wow, I'm surprised they had it blocked off that far back.

Here's my scenerio which i could see that could happened. But it didn't. Let's say the T2:3D building collapsed because of the fire, Universal would have to build a new structure to house the DM attraction. How would it the building be designed to house DM?

It would just be a plain square show building like currently in Florida.

If that did happen, I wonder if they would think of a different plot using the Despicable Me theme. Or would they rebuild at all?

We were covering this as it was happening.  We are happy it did not get any worse.
