That is what I have been thinking. I was going through his tweets, and his hit/miss ratio is way off. I am all about having someone who has info in upper management discussions and stuff that might not come through because it is high level discussions... but to say something is a fact. I am going to go and comb over the lagoon show this weekend to find or disprove any indication that this rumor is true.
He had one hit: Dragon Challege entrance move. That was either blind luck or he actually knew something.
Well in the matter of of the UOR Detective, this case is closed............
Lame Pun Racoon would be proud.

+1 Well done sir!
I'm not saying the dude is right, but didn't we hear before that Disney tried the drip screens and tossed the idea? It is possible that something happened in testing and they had to change plans. I do think he is a fraud. But it is possible.
^Right, but just 2 weeks ago, when the art came out, they talked about the water screens. This show will be a dud without the screens. Failure is not an option.
Edit: the guy also said Fast and the Furious was replacing Jaws. We know it's Potter.

They obviously work. Aquatine has videos of them on their website.
Disney didn't use it because they didn't want large structures sticking up in their lagoon.
Just because they work, doesn't mean they work the way Universal needs them to. Looking at Aquatique's website, I didn't see a video where high clarity projections were done on the water screens. It's possible Universal wasn't happy with how the images were looking when they projected.
I'm not saying this happened, but I don't see why it couldn't.
They literally JUST announced the thing 2 weeks ago, and it's going to open soon-ish.
I seriously, seriously doubt they would have announced it and built the damn things without making sure they worked....
It's not like this never happens in the theme park world. Is it likely? Not at all. Is it possible? Yes. Like I said, I trust that the twitter guy is full of it. But I also wouldn't be floored if it was true to a certian extent.
In the concept art, the screens in the lagoon look like megatrons, but that's just because it's concept art.
We've all seen the hundreds of nozzles in those structures/trusses, and we've seen the Aquatique (sp?) videos, so I'm pretty sure they'll be water screens.

Geeez.... I just went looking for 'aquatine' water screens... Couldn't find them... because it is AQUATIQUE!
That said... The rain curtains should be just fine without an added projection surface. AAMOF an additional projection surface would completely screw up the projection as it must be BLACK behind the rain in order to work.

Ya he's definitely full of it. If Universal replaced Jaws with the cinematic mortification that is Fast and the Furious, it would be burnt to the ground within 24 hrs of opening...
Nothing personal... but I don't understand who these people are who keep paying money to see these things in the theater.
Fast Five wasn't that bad.....
Regardless, I don't want it as a theme park land. Ride, maybe. Imagine Test Track on steroids. It has potential.
