Why are they rating Shrek as a "show" when all the others involve live actors? Or are they talking about the meet & greet?

Isn't it a little unfair that it's the interactive stuff that's making top of the list, because it makes guests laugh more?

This is Shrek 4D the attraction. Meet & greet would be included overall in the USF street rating category.

There's not enough info here. Are these rankings for TM quality, the show itself, or what? I imagine most of those rank high because they have shorter waits (obvious Olivanders excluded here) and more positive CM interaction. Note how they're also all 'family' attractions...

It says exit merchandise locations. So I guess they are talking about merch sales.

I didn't know Horror Makeup had a merch show thought it exited in to a hallway that exited into the street and the magic show is basically in the shop

wrong thread.

There is lot's of information if your familiar with the program, and even more info posted at the venues. This is internal information posted on an internal news letter. It's not supposed to make sense to you.

HMU technically has a dump store that is the same as the T2 dump store. That being said I think the title is wrong because Animal Actors does not have a dump store.

Quick, someone get to Universal and get an update of the storm damage!

Only people with Preferred Passes or higher can go in the parks right now due to black out dates. Another option is buying a day pass... This is going to be a long couple weeks without any photo updates...:'(

From @pcrewinparadise....

Rockit banner

front drive of Portofino Bay

From @OrlandoInformer....

The weather just got crazy nasty. Resting safe at @UniversalORL CityWalk.

That was an intense five minute storm that rolled through @UniversalORL. Little bit of damage in CityWalk

From @MagicCityMayhem....

We are hearing IOA has been closed for the day due to the storm. Still unsure if UO will remain open.

The banner on the Rip Ride Rockit appears to have suffered some storm damage.

More storm aftermath at Universal.

In that case I'm on my way now to get an update. I'll get pictures of the things that are still messed up.

Whoa! :bolt: That was close.

Is that the correct smilie for that situation?

Update: Major damage so far in Universal and City Walk. Lots of trees and branches down as well as banners everywhere. Hulk, Dr Doom, Rockit, Dragons and Beetlejuice are closed for the rest of the day due to damage but Dragons MIGHT reopen. Pics coming soon.

City Walk banners down.

Rockit

Those new trees in the Transformers queue...didn't last long.

I wouldn't really call that major damage. This is major damage:

Hulk and doom are down. Once they determine the tower crane next to dragons is ok it'll be back up. And once that banner comes off Rockit it will be fine. As you can see from the picture from the front of the park they have no issues bringing the high reaches out in to the park.

 

[Gambit]

Mummy banners were being removed.

Central Park is a hot mess!

Simpsons area had a lot of walls and banners down. They were policing the area like crazy to stop people taking pictures of the construction area. I got a few secret shots though.

Simpsons Banners

That display from the Apprentice didn't last long either.

Tree by the old Amity Restrooms.

Some of the lighting strips were hanging of the Ghirardelli building.

Let me rephrase that. Considering how short the storm was there was major damage. Not hurricane Sandy level damage.

 

[Gambit]

Also I must commend Universal on their clean up crew. As I'm posting this update most of the damage I took pictures of is already gone or being removed.

Thanks for the updates, Gambit! :thumbs:
