So many announcements and so little time. I think once they start, it will start to snowball. Very exciting times ahead.

The capitalization spells out NEW COASTER (in the Jurassic Park section of the article)

Nice catch. But that's old news 'round here already!

Out of curiosity, how often are TPU's predictions/leaks correct?

I knew who wrote it before clicking on it.

Edit: Love how he called my Fantasyland like Dreamworks rumor “strong” and linked to an article I wrote. Truth be told, I kinda made that one up.

I've dabbled with the ethics of posting a known fake rumor that wouldn't affect any of the companies in the industry if it made the mainstream news. The point would show that lots of these articles are roundups of information being discussed already, not new information. I don't blame Ken for that, it's his job to write article and round up the information, there's a service to that. My issue comes when readers and posters here get confused and assume it is independent confirmation or new information when it is not. The information loop creates an echo chamber where rumors and speculation are amplified and expectations are miss set.

A perfect example of how other sites just use discussions from IU to put their info speculation together. That's why I rarely pay much attention to other sites when it comes to Universal.

It's a false rumor based on info from this forum. Don't read into it too much.

From my experience on here, you throw enough poop at the wall and some will stick.
