What about more concert space? They could add terraced platforms similar to the ones going in at city walk for much needed extra show capacity.

That's not really a plot that would be conducive to a project like that.

Wicked would work best where T2:3D is. Just make it another art deco facade for a 1930s theatre and you've got a great attraction for everyone. Making all the preshow rooms themed to the production behind the show would be amazing.

I just paid $25 for the NBC studios tour in NYC a few weeks ago and it didn't seem worth the money to me. I believe Universal could create a much better TV production experience even if it isn't in a real TV studio. Maybe an all new "room to room" attraction themed like 30 Rock that shows you how they make SNL.

Well, let's say they just take SS44 and the Shrek M&G. That would give us roughly 21,600 sqft, which is about the size of the Shrek 4-6 building. Now, take the fairly large side walk on the one side of the building with it, and we get roughly 35,000 sqft. That's larger than The Cat in the Hat's ride building by a fairly large margin. CitH is about 32,250 sqft. So this has the possibility of being a sizable plot.

The only thing I really can't get a grasp on is the height balloon issue. I would have loved to see how high it was. With Transformers seemingly perfecting the idea of an elevator in the middle of a dark ride, I'd be surprised if they weren't using that tech here if they want to make a splash.

Man, I wish I had seen those balloons. I was actually in the park, and didn't see them. Though it's not like I could have snapped a picture. The camera on my phone has been silly lately and has decided that it doesn't like its job. :(

I doubt they were still up. Height balloon tests are usually done fairly quickly and then taken down. FunkyTown saw them. I'd love for him/her to report in again...

More whylightbulb

Meanwhile down the street at Universal I'm once again hearing talk of another attraction to go between MIB and Simpsons, the new attraction to replace Herc/Xena, the Kidzone project - all on top of Potter phase 2! Somebody is getting serious about success in Orlando and it cerainly isn't Disney!

Whylightbulb, any word on the Shrek meet and greet going bye bye??? I understand Monday is the last day those characters will be out and about doing MGs in their area...


I have not been pulled on this project (yet?) so I haven't heard anything specific about the M&G. I can tell you they are moving FAST!

What does "I have not been pulled" mean? Who is saying this in the text above? dxer? you?

WhyLightBulb didn't have much to offer re: SS44 except what we already know. Something is "going there".

Sorry he is a contractor not UC. So he won't know details of the project unless they put him on it

And I think it's nice for him to say he has heard stuff about Something going in between mib and Simpsons and the kid zone project

Most likely that he hasn't been asked to work on the project.

Nope. Sounds like this has been a "fly by the seat of their pants" type deal. Considering just a few weeks ago we got the permits for a HHN house in the area, and now it's being demolished? I think "fast tracked" isn't doing this project justice.

Thanks for the pics. Walls are really spread out. Taking up all that area is a great sign.

Do the walls go all the way to the opposite end or not? Are there walls on the plaza? Geeez... that is what we are all wondering.

Yes, Teebin. On the Delancey side, it went up to the sidewalk for a portion. The entire thing is encompassed. You can only walk around.

SS44 isn't even on Delancey. It borders 7th, 8th and finally South St opposite the lagoon. If one stands in the concert shell area and looks across to monsters including that round kiosk thingy... are there walls surrounding all of it?

Yes, that's what I'm trying to say. :) The only thing that was not surrounded was Monsters. However, I noticed that it was not open last night, nor was it open today. But it was open on Thursday.
