They're not gonna get rid of the fire effects

Good.

Not sure if anyone remembers when they turned all the fire effects off resort-wide because of high gas prices....That was a fun time haha

when?

when?

2005/06 I believe

Does the locker removal/replacement mean the ride queue gets re-routed or no?

From the look of the photos, I think the lockers are getting placed in the current queue entrance and they'll likely move the queue entrance directly into the Museum of Antiquities facade. It never made a ton of sense walking into one building and then having to go back outside and into the MoA facade building as it was.

Poster from Mummy’s entrance building is now for sale in the Prop Shop for $250. Fire effects were still off today.

Fire effects were still off today.

Still no fire? Bad show, Universal. Boooo! Hissssss! This isn't Blackstone-era purse strings so I really hope they're down for fixing or maintenance and not cost-cutting.

They're probably upgrading something we can't see behind the scenes

This isn't encouraging at all...

Standard PR response...Wouldn't read into it


I still think it's a small rehab while keeping the ride open

 

[Frank Drackman]

seems folks always want to blame cost cuts.

I just like to offer ideas that oppose the norm.

what if something was learned from recent events? I thought I heard about a train at a park catching fire and in the same week a parade float caught fire at another park.

anyway, I get the impression UNI takes safety of guest pretty seriously and I would hope they check on and run that effect only when it can be run safely.

All I can say is that effect had better be coming back at some point. It's really impressive.

That's a very interesting point...Spiderman's was off for a while too...Wonder if they're just upgrading things

F&F is up. Lagoon show is right around the corner.

If they aren’t going to shut down Fear Factor, Kidzone or Shrek anytime soon- I wish they’d just take Mummy (or MiB) down for 3 months and get everything fixed that needs to be fixed.
Unfortunately, parts have to be ordered, etc.

Seems they've been doing a lot of upgrades after hours, so as to keep the rides open...MIB certainly could use some upgrades

They may be toying around with cost saving measures in various spots. Fire on camp Jurassic tortches have been replaced with flickering Amber bulbs, unfortunately not nearly as impressive.

They’re a giant Cable Monopoly. They probably don’t care about good show, they only want $$$. I’d rather have Berkshire Hathaway own NBC Universal, their more respected than Comcast.

Wrong chat?

Wrong chat?

Regarding the Mummy effects, I was just pointing out that a cable company probably wouldn’t give an ounce about park maintenance. I know, it’s sad
