Studio Tour

[Asuka]

Really, it is only bathrooms going in at the tour.  For those of you that doubt, just think for a moment about what is moving or disappearing for Potter to come in and the bathroom expansion with some additional space around it starts to make a bit more sense.

Now ... back to your regularly scheduled programming.

I must say Jaws "attraction" has really just lost its scruples. No boat getting taking down by jaws(which is better then the current diver), the pier does not even move away from the dock and to finish it off the dock will never tilt. I know Chris does want to hear this but can Jaws be closer to closing then we think? I say it will have maybe be around another 3 years tops.

When I went to Universal last weekend, the emergency cord was pulled on the tram to go to the restroom. We were all laughing, This happened when we went onto Wisteria Lane. How long was the Home & Family set at the backlot been there? Also, the Mummy Tunnel was closed due to "overheating". No idea why it would close.

 

[Jon Fu]

Mummy tunnel is operating on and off. I went into it the first time - didn't the second.

 

[William]

For the first time out of all my visits, it wasn't operating the last time I went to the park. I can't remember - is the Mummy tunnel scheduled for removal in the Evolution Plan?

 

[Allen The Actor]

I think the Mummy tunnel IS scheduled for removal. Is the Amity/Jaws area also scheduled for replacement on the Evolution Plan?

I don't think it is.

Also, I don't care how old JAWS is, it's a classic. It's our "old and stupid" (anyone get the reference? ) I wish they'd update it.

If I was in charge of updating Jaws on the tour, I'd have the dock be in the center of the "lake" and the tram would drive basically in the through the center of the lake (would be scary to have water on both sides) and then I'd use the Collapsing Bridge mechanism and the tram would fall and be closer to the water, lean side to side, and then a fin would skid across the water on one side, and then Bruce would pop out on one side and then the other

 

[William]

Nobody ever thought Jaws in USF would close so soon, but look what happened..

I think the tour would feel somewhat incomplete without the Jaws segment.

I feel that nothing else can be put in place of our Amity. Like, Universal can build massive sets anywhere else on the lot if need be. I think our Jaws will be safe

Wait a minute - you're willing to get rid of the Fast and Furious segment?!

 

[Allen The Actor]

*sigh* well... if need be...yes. I'm ready to lose our beloved F&F attraction....err, "attraction". Only as long as if they feature Gasolina somewhere else on the tour. Maybe have Flash Floos turn into "Flash Gasoline: The Most Expensive Attraction in the World!"

^^^ id love to think that but our Amity area is no longer used for filming(which means it cant make any money besides being on the tour as a picture opportunity.) Uni is going to want to utilize any of its space to make a profit.

Dont worry we may all have our wish. Has anyone seen the attraction opened in the last 2 weeks?

 

[Allen The Actor]

I can betcha anything they're probably just updating very basic scenery and music to match the most recent F&F movie.

I'd like to meet the "brilliant" mind who suggested the HIIIIILAAAARIOUS idea of using "Gasolina" and making the cars dance...like....gosh. really? -_-

 

[BehindTheTheme]

Could be but whatever is going on is all very, Very last min from what I hear. If this attraction returns it will be way, WAY more related to F&F then the current Tokyo Drift overlay for Dancing Cars.

 

[William]

The releases of these F&F movies are only fueling the revival of these dancing cars. :unsure:

 

[BehindTheTheme]

So sources say F&F will not be returning to the studio tour. If you didnt get to say by you are to late.

R.I.P. Fast and The Furious Tokyo Drift 

(allegedly)

 

[Allen The Actor]

At all? Not even updated to reflect the new movie?

Oh well. I rather not have it at all than have to go through Gasolina each time. I hope something better will replace it.

At all from what I hear. Either way the EP shows something new going near the picture car area.

 

[Allen The Actor]

Whatever it is, it HAS to be an improvement, right? Lol
