ScottInNy, can you post the full text of the email that they sent you on here? I am not looking for email addresses, just the full text of their request?
No war. Just an honest discussion. Universal is here. They have always been here. That's cool. Just offering them an opportunity to step out from the shadows and have their voice heard. Not be me, or my interpretation of their actions, but with their own voice.
Brawner Greer called me out. S/he didn't have the courage to do so publically, even though everything I did was upfront and public. I'm just offering him/her the opportunity to take responsibility for their words and actions and be upfront, honest and transparent.
Look, I'm an individual and most certainly don't have the weight of a huge corporate legal department. I have done nothing wrong and won't be bullied. I would like nothing more than for M. Greer to truly read my posts and see them for how they were intended: a tribute to the very people they accuse me of disrespecting. In addition, they have "demanded" that I turn over information to them that a) I don't have and b) they have no legal ground to ask of me.
Universal, everyone here is hoping and believing you have created something truly magical here. Don't ruin it by creating a PR issue. It's not nice or necessary.

How can you be completely positive that it was Mr. Greer who emailed you and not another member of the Legal team? Either way it's wrong for you to call them out and throw out personal insults at them. How do they have a lack of courage for e-mailing personal business to you and not informing the rest of the board? It seems more courteous for them to leave it as a private manner than to post it in a public forum. If he were to have posted the e-mail on this thread instead, you all would laugh at him and deny the fact that they are at all involved with Universal.
What you did can be looked at as wrong. It is private information that is not currently supposed to be known and that is what Universal is concerned about and asking you to discontinue. The Orlando United forums do not seem like a place for asking requests to Universal staff who quietly emailed you.
I just feel we are getting angry over a simple e-mail. Who cares if we can't post backstage information yet? Soft Openings can start within weeks and we will have all of the pictures you could ever want then.
Full text or it didn't happen.
I'm not sure what can be said about the Wizarding World now. I mean if info can't be shared at all, then are we all suppose to just talk about how we can't wait to go? Or when we think softs will be? Don't get me wrong, I love to discuss Harry Potter but I just don't know what more can be said right now.
What is this about softs? Expect a letter from Universal buddy! The opening date is June 18th..and dont you forget that!!
Seriously, might as well close the thread until Universal decides it's time to let us discuss this stuff.
I feel bad for Orlando United, because they are the real victim here. I hope just guys have a good cyber-liability policy.
and once again I think its AMAZING..that a small orlando based forum is causing such a ruckus in the first place. You would think it would be the Potter fan sites that would be following this the closest.
Why in the world wasn't Orlando United invited to the the "blog" event? You seem to be covering the ride better then they have!
Since they seem to be hanging on are every word...I think Universal should pick some board members to go preview and discuss this ride. It's obvious that the people on this board are some of the biggest fans around.
So how bout it, treat some Board members to Butter Beer?
Please Uni?

Who cares if we know what's in the ride? There's going to be full reports in just a few weeks on the entire ride experience. Riders aren't going to sign a non-disclosure agreement. I say they should put their focus more on the YouTube videos sure to come when the ride opens instead. Or maybe not. Even that's good publicity.
No offense to Scott but you haven't even given us that much information that would cause anyone in legal to care. Dome screens? We've known this and had pictures for months. Screen Goo? Who the hell cares?
Universal only has a few weeks before soft openings happen and then the entire kuka's out of the bag.
