So you'd rather want a failing Universal Orlando Resort/Universal Studios hollywood; with the support that General Electric/Vivendi NEVER gave.


:huh:

SMH, to be honest; that's one thing I can NOT stand when people talk about the supposed "Good Ol' Days".

Guys, really?

This is uber-hyperbolic.

You wanna discuss Universal's reliance on screens and how it's a detriment? Go ahead.

How they rely on the "now" instead of the past? Sure.

But to imply Universal is suffering (or any variation of failing or whatever) is crazy, and some of these takes are incredibly stupid.

USF can remove FFL to no complaints and I think there’s space beside Fallon if they get creative enough, the land between Simpsons and MIB and the inevitable Kidzone replacement.

The land between USF & MIB will likely not be used for quite some time still. Creative is based back there and there's also the HHN tents and just general back of house stuff. Now with the new land, this all can be moved, but that's over time.

As to building something next to Fallon... that's not really all that likely unless HRRR bites the dust (coaster supports are in the way) and Universal is comfortable with losing Sound Stage 33 for a ride. If they did decide to use the plot though, there's plenty of space back there to make it work if they were to go right up against the backstage road like F&F and (to an extent) Mummy does. There would just have to be some shifting of backstage infrastructure, but again, with Site B, this is made possible as a location like SS 33 could be built over there. 33 is a nice space to hold event though, very convenient to USF and is used A LOT.

I just think both are longterm expansions. KidZone, Fear Factor and Shrek are more immediate. Then by the late 2020's, all of Springfield will be on the chopping block... and probably MIB and Mummy sometime in the middle of all of that. All of that practically gets you into the 2030's without using a single *expansion* pad in the park (not replacing).

Oh and what about Monster's Cafe? Tear that thing down and build a ride using that land and the Donkey M&G area.

This is one of the dumbest things I’ve seen on this forum. It willfully ignores any progress the parks have made on MANY fronts and boils it down to nostalgia viewed attractions and nothing else.

I’ve seen this for twenty years in the Disney community, really reconsider your hot takes.

USF might be a bad park in my eyes, but it’s definitely better than it was years ago.

Back on topic:

Is there any chance that this isn’t a coaster or dark ride at all? Maybe it’s just a couple of new flats, a JPRA retheme, and maybe a new play area.

Unless the plan has completely and utterly changed, no.

Work clearing the area continues every night, so speedbumb or not, at least stuff is still happening.

On another note, can I just say that JPRA was looking REALLY good the other day when I rode it. I can't think of anything that wasn't working.

What about the safety mechanism about halfway through the ride? They should really look at that. :)

I thought creative was the building behind Volcano Bay at the end of the property

Creative's main location is along Turkey Lake Rd behind USF, but there are a bunch of semi-permanent project trailers on the MIB/Simpsons/Sprung Tent plot

I see one location South of VB below the Lowe's laundry facility and another next to the west backlot entry across from the new potter coaster.

Yup. Just a reminder to any creative person who has an office there, HHN starts soon. Remember to close your blinds :lol:

Rode it 2 weeks ago also and a few things weren’t working.. First and foremost (the only major thing), T-Rex was hunched over visible before it was supposed to start moving.. I don’t know if it was a lighting problem or animatronic problem but something was definitely wrong. It’s arm was also rotated upwards for some reason lol.. The crate also dropped early and the dilophasaurus on the right wasn’t working..
