I'm not sure i've ever seen a Universal attraction have an official sponsor, at least since Comcast took over. This move was probably made to pay for the maintenance of the ride and to get a few more years out of the ride without Universal having to foot the bill.

I honestly can't be against the move as long as it's for the short term because we know 2023 is Villain-Con, 2024, is KidZone redo, 2025 is Epic, and 2026 might be something for IOA as it'll have been awhile. So even though they know that F&F is a problem, i'd rather the park have a sponsor for it so it's open and at the very least it's a high capacity ride that is there during busy times until they get around to a replacement hopefully later in the decade or even possible not until the 2030's.

I'm happy to be a part of the family if it involves an eye-ball popping coaster.

The bus, uh, if it draws people away from good rides that's something I guess.

I remember a "mummy wrapped" VW or something outside of Mummy back in the day

But it does feel strange to have a sponsor

Ah well, it's literally just a spray painted decal lol

I remember the entirety of the 90s when every single attraction at Universal Studios Florida had a sponsor. Like EVERY single one.

Funny how quickly that dropped off during the following decade.

Maybe they hired that guy back to pound the pavement and rope in the sponsors

"Damn, where'd you people learn to ride like that?"

Has there ever been a more ludicrous line spoken in a dark ride?

I think you’re talking about Hollywood’s Mummy.

So when are we getting McDonald's french fry carts at the parks? Would be 10x better than most snack places at UOR.
