Springfield Expansion

[Felipe]

Update from AmusementPics.....

(...)

The trees near the waterfront are getting chopped down:

Shame on Uni... I guess this is easier and faster and probably a lot cheaper, but whatever happened to "Green is Universal?"

I come bearing gifts:

CMU = Concrete Masonry Unit

Great news! Thanks for sharing! Now, let's see what seaside location, if any, they're gonna recreate... a la Victoria Embankment.

Maybe the chopping down of the trees is code that the next project is the lorax...:look:

From @OrlandoInformer

Work has begun on the waterfront area near The Simpsons

All kinds of jackhammering and noisy construction stuff happening at International Food & Film @UniversalORL

Whoops, ThemeParks4Life beat me to it.

God that looks depressing But it in the end totally worth it :thumbs:

I couldn't imagine what I'd be thinking if I was an average guest!

 

[YETI PINTRADER]

Universal is on a roll. Is there anywhere in the parks where you can't see some kind of construction?

 

[Captain Tragedy]

It would be great if they could do an overlay once in a while for Uncle Moe's Family Feedbag. I would order myself some Million Dollar Birthday Fries.

Notice that the speakers, etc have been removed from the waterfront area.

Yeah those speakers will be reused, the rest not so much

 

[Hatetofly]

Still have a good bit more to tear out :thumbs: Maybe we will get an update tomorrow?

Screamscape is saying it's going to be a Dumbo style spinner. Riiiiight.

They are right.

On the Waterfront will be the only new ride in this transformation. Kodos and Kang, a themed spinner with a themed outdoor queue. Next to that will be Duff Gardens a large outdoor bar with a massive themed structure where you will be able to get yourself a Duff beer on the Waterfront. Last but not least will be VIP seating along the waterfront for Cinespec.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, what is a spinner? Can someone just give me an example of a spinner already at our theme parks?

Dumbo, Aladdin, one fish two fish red fish blue fish

Ahhh , okay, thank you. I hope it's on the scale of Astro Orbiter then!

It's not.

 

[Hatetofly]

JT I need the date of the second quote from me explaining its like Dumbo, Aladdin etc please.

Cancel that, I just found it. Over two weeks ago

 

[Jymmymack]

They are right.

Marry me.

 

[IAmFloridaBorn]

Dang. Just put me all out ahaha

I thought it was gonna be a ferris wheel.

That was an old idea. Put down and told that it is a spinner...

 

[knokout1]

For some reason when I heard spinner this was the first thing to come to mind. I just want something a little more thrilling than one fish.

I thought it was gonna be a ferris wheel.

So it is a spinner? Well thats extremely disappointing. But being they are building the Orlando eye not to far, I suppose not. Also fun spot has a Ferris Wheel as well so it may be a good thing UNI decided to go a different direction. I wonder if it'll be anything like OFTFRFBF. Hopefully something better!

I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully something a bit more thrilling. otherwise I may just pass on all the rides in Simpsonland all together when it's all said and done since I can tough out motion simulators like the Simpsons.
