Springfield Expansion

[STL]

Can you get a Flammin Moe with this deal? If you can then it's a great deal, considering a Flammin Moe is like 8 bucks and the donut is like 4 or 5 bucks.

No. JS pointed that out when he first mentioned the deal. Everything except the FM and alcoholic drinks.

Has anyone figured out what the patch on the back of Jebediah Springfield is? Because I noticed another one on his right arm above his elbow.

I haven't made it out to see this in person yet but I am assuming it's fiberglass. With that in mind my guess is there is likely a metal armature underneath the fiberglass shell to support the statue. You would then possibly have a few access points to attach the armature to whatever part of the armature was built into the base. Also a access point in an area that is hard to get to but needs support makes sense.

That's a great deal, if you ask me. Half of that $15 goes toward the drink and cupcake and the other half gives you prime seating for the show. I will definitely be doing this on my next visit.

Not to mention a table to balance a tripod

Ohhh ok. It still sounds like a good deal though.

Yes it does!:thumbs: I am sure we will be checking it out in September.

Wand dueling classes and now this cupcake and a soda for $15. These so-called perks are ridiculous. I look forward to hearing how successful they are or aren't.

I cannot wait until I get my season pass next year! I'm dying to go to Universal! I usually can get in free but my friends mom has been blacked out forever and I am having serious Universal withdraws! lol I still haven't seen Springfield in person or rode Transformers yet. I feel like the next time I go I'm literally going to do EVERYTHING. That includes buying this great deal for the night show!

Beat me to it. I am wondering if the arms are cast separately and the access plates are used to attach them.

I checked out the new area of Springfield for the first time yesterday, and I gotta say that while everything else was amazing, I was a little disappointed by the Duff Brewery bar. Don't get me wrong, it looks beautiful. But I was expecting more of a nice, relaxing waterfront bar where you can have a beer and enjoy some people watching (ala Chez Alcatrez). To me it just felt like a snack bar where you had to fight your way up against a bunch of kids buying Squishees. Hopefully it will change when they add full liquor and the parks die down, but for now I will stick with Finnegan's.

They are selling beer and squishees at the same establishment, same register? If so, it is not cool, from a "give the adults some room" standpoint. I bet they will be forced to work out a different arrangement.

MMMMMMMM


BEER SQUISHEES :homer:

So far, yes. Not at all crowded last Saturday, so not a big issue yet. I don't know that you're ever going to get a true "adults only" space inside a theme park--even Finns as often as not has kids actually sitting at the bar.

The original concept was a full bar, lots of Duff, and finger foods. Disneyhead and I enjoyed a few beers there and I was very closely watching techs from vendors work on several fixes. Unfortunately I think the bar may have scrapped but again we shall see.

Here are the details on the Springfield Cinespec packages. They are so new most of the TMs have no clue.
The dining package looks like a really good deal if you order an entree worth at least $15.

 

[Sideshow Mike]

Thanks Seth for that. Looks like a really good deal all around. I'll probably try it next time I go.

 

[Felipe]

Thanks for the pic with info, Seth! :thumbs:

 

[shiekra38]

Thanks for the list...looks great..even though they used Comic Sans

 

[IzzyB]

Might have to do that special seating next time I go. We have done sit down places several times and loved it, so that really sounds like a deal.

Any word on whether the walls are down today? I am really hoping to be able to go to Uni tomorrow if Twirl & Hurl is running.

 

[Felipe]

Also wondering if the walls are down on K&K. I was contemplating paying Springfield a visit tonight or tomorrow...
