USH desperately needs a lot of love nowadays given it has a reputation of being half-theme park near to the biggest major studio in all of Hollywood, and not much room to add new rides that can be seen as exclusive in Orlando or any full Universal theme park overseas.
If it’s on track for 2020, I’m seriously considering a trip to Japan for this and Tokyo Disney.
It'll be crazy busy (and more expensive) with the olympic games. I'm going to Japan next June with the family- but won't go again until late 2021. The year after the games is also insanely crowded due to residual tourism. Enjoy it if you go- and best of luck to ya! I know you do this, so look into booking with points vs cash rate due to the elevated prices for olympics and you'll need to book a year out for sure as soon as availability comes out.
We usually go in September so hopefully we'll miss most of the busy period. Have you been before?
It's crazy how popular it seems to have got recently. I don't know anybody who had been prior to this year and 5 groups of people I know have been this year so far, a few more people I know are planning trips. The Trackers recently visited. I think their video was the thing to push me over the edge to seriously consider it. The language barrier had been my biggest fear but it seems to be a non issue and the weather looks far better than I had expected.

Note that I did casually see a couple minutes of the Trackers. It looks like they only did Tokyo. Do not do that. Go to Kyoto for a portion of the trip at the very least- or even consider staying at 1-2 other less touristy districts. Tokyo is cool but it's not my thing. Also- Universal is in Osaka (~3-4 hrs from Tokyo where Disney is via bullet train)- so you'd have to stay in Osaka or Kyoto to go there.
Anyone have a link to that still?Reminder: It's July 10th and we still don't have any news on the Orlando SNW side of things. Hopefully we start getting some info soon, as they alluded to on their blog.

With it going to the new park now, it's going to be a long time before we get anything more concrete I bet.
Yeah. At-most, if they reveal cryptically of the Southern Property, I think there'd be a small chance that it'd be glossed over.
Nope, that’s exactly the same as it was last time I looked at it. (I have it copied on my site too.)Universal Orlando Close Up | More in Store for 2018 at Universal Orlando Resort
Did they edit this? I could have swore it said Nintendo and Orlando in a more direct way originally. Am I crazy?
