Character Meet and Greet

[William]

It seems Crash really put out his all before leaving the park.  -_-

What other characters would everyone like to see in the parks?

 

[William]

Maybe Evac. A couple of smokers outside of Waterworld. The Cat in the Hat. Ricky Ricardo (alongside Lucy, of course). Betty Boop. That's all I can think of for now.

Yesterday, waterworld had a couple of their actors holding signs in the midway directing people to the show. It was weird seeing them out there.

Ricky and Betty Boop used to be regular characters you could meet, especially Betty Boop. They should still have her! I have a video of her at USH from '96 (my first visit). Ricky can still be seen in Orlando I think.

 

[William]

I had a feeling Betty Boop used to be in the park. I saw Ricky in UO in my last trip.

Since the terminator no longer has an attraction he should be wondering the park.

 

[Allen The Actor]

I'd love for the Terminator to walk around!

 

[William]

I was mention The Terminator in my list, but I wasn't sure if it'd make sense since T2:3D is gone.  I'd be okay with it, though.

Holly crap she gets more of her self on youtube then USH Marylyn Monroe.

Its a Brenda epidemic.

[Jonathan]

^ that was not how I wanted to end my night! Now I'm gonna have nightmares.

 

[William]

Random thought that popped into my head while watching those videos: Will Universal take out the Swamp Musicians once Shrek leaves? It's on the opposite side of the path, but it'd still leave an essence of the green ogre. Plus, it wouldn't make sense to be pushing that theme/environment once there are construction walls on the other side. 

 

[Allen The Actor]

They can easily change their costumes and incorporate them into another area of the park.

 

[BehindTheTheme]

Best thing to do is to NOT give people like her the attention she's craving. Only makes it worse.

She's not a Kardashain   she's just having a good time. I dout she dances to have people tape her and post it(not that she minds it mind you) or does she secretly come on the forums and knows her hipe. LOL

 

[William]

Haha who knows. Regardless, she may be not all well, so either way, I personally don't think it's best to pay too much attention.

I just realized: can you imagine if they had a walk around ET character? I adore the character, movie, and ride, but if I was 6 and saw ET in front of me, I'd pee....I'd pee everywhere. Hahaha.

Although an ET in drag (from the movie) would be hilarious.

I was thinking that as well when I was listing the characters I'd like to see in the park, but it'd be weird.. Plus, E.T. is a very small little guy, so it'd be something hard to recreate. At the very least, we should have some sort of E.T. photo op. Not sure why it isn't recognized more around the park now that it's gone.

 

[Allen The Actor]

I think there used to be a photo op if I'm not mistaken. Maybe I'm thinking of the now closed Japan version or maybe Florida. Either way, NOW I'd take a pic with ET.

And Jon, I can't tell if you're excited or not from the picture

The store for E.T. Adventure in Florida, E.T.'s Toy Closet, has 2 photo ops - one of him in a bicycle basket, and one of him dressed up in a closet (ignore the random people.. these came from Google Images):

Okkkk back to characters

Any other characters you all would like to see at Universal?

Haha  No one displayed any other thoughts on E.T. after I posted those photos! Anyone?  :mellow:

 

[Allen The Actor]

When USH opened for the first time as a "theme park" in the 60s, where there any other characters besides the Universal Monsters like Frankenstein?
