Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week.

@Mad Dog would not be happy with all this uncivility, let's keep it light hearted guys

But what if the weight of the tapu tapu causes me to sink to the bottom of the wave pool? These are important questions we must ask.

The GPS will help them find your body before it rots :wave:

Well, at least now we know what damaged those slide sections. Throwing a tapu tapu down as a test was the equivalent of a boulder going down the slide.

I'm so glad to have my laptop working again. Send your requests now!

Looks so large. I hate things on my wrist. Ugh.

Replace that Tapu Tapu with a Magic Band, and have Mickey's scared face be Indy's.

Now that, is much more realistic.

New update from WildGravity Travels!

You know - this is all looking good and swell, but what ARE the Waturi people doing about invasive species?

I mean, pfft, they call this a water "theme park" but I don't see any intricate backstory about invasive fauna or remnants of long ago fighting over natural resources.

Yeah, but they did invite us to come party with them......

Don't make me get Brian in here while he's on his weekend vacation

Just reading this made me have flashbacks to my mother using this threat. The threat was real. Once dad was home, I had better hope that a freak accident had taken my life because nothing was going to spare me from his wrath. I was on a first name basis with his belt. I'd like to say that I didn't deserve it but that would be a lie.

Getting Brian involved on his vacation is pretty much like that.

Maybe we all just need to take a ride on the water coaster, then the lazy river, and sip from a cold beverage. Cooler heads would prevail.

Ahh I see, so my number of posts means I'm naïve and am not allowed to disagree. For the record, I did not read that thread, if a moderator feels I'm being "toxic" by voicing my opinion just the same as you then I guess that's up to them. Also, you obviously read my post but didn't care to comment on anything in it that pertains to the thread, just shame me for having only 18 posts.

Seriously guys, I didn't know questioning the project's readiness was such a sensitive subject. I always try to use logic and reason before I post but perhaps that's just taking it a bit too far for some members of this community.

On a side note, I'm completely okay with the size of the Tapu Tapu. A larger screen is always a nice thing to have when you're staring into it on a sunny Florida afternoon. Hopefully I didn't offend anyone with my unpopular opinion. :shrug:

To think that Universal would even want to open a park not 100% operational is ridiculous. Do you really believe Universal would open this park if not 100%?

Honestly? Yes.

Universal is opening this park on May 25th. Regardless of what is not working, what is broken, what slides are missing pieces. If trees are missing or if the entire back half of the volcano has no rock pieces. This park is opening that day. Whether everything will be in operation is a different story, but it'll be very close (to put it mildly) considering all that needs to be done still however Universal is still opening it on May 25th.

I'm not sure I get what is going on, but I read something you posted as saying you felt that the park would not be 100% ready on May 25th.

Since you said 100%, well, me personally, I can't imagine you being wrong about that because even 99.8% ready would not be 100%. I don't see that as being negative and it is just stating your opinion as I am doing here.

It would probably seen less annoying if you weren't slipping in little jabs at the community. Like referencing someone's lack of posts or insinuating we don't understand basic reason. Definitely doesn't make me feel unwelcome to this forum. Which is a first in this thread for me.

So 18 days to go . . . cutting it super close.

 

[Andysol]

Omg the tapu tapu is massive. How can a kid wear that?

I agree- I'm a skinny guy, but taller- and it will look big on me- but not ridiculous.
But my 7 year old (and 3 year old)? Ridiculous.

Maybe it'll be 13+ or whatever age you don't need an adult- and adults are able to schedule for their entire party- so they're the only ones that have it? Not sure...

To think that Universal would even want to open a park not 100% operational is ridiculous. Do you really believe Universal would open this park if not 100%?

The only thing I'm 100% sure of is it won't be 100% completed- or certainly not 100% operational. DHS wasn't. USF wasn't. IoA wasn't. DAK wasn't. VB won't be.
