Universal’s Cinematic Spectacular - Nighttime Show

[JungleSkip]

I know we're getting way off topic here, but could the rumored new attraction be something for Lost Continent? It really needs a ride if it's staying as an island. A walk-through attraction, a restaurant, and a show are not enough. It needs at least one ride. Maybe the dessert shop and tent that are coming down will make some space for this new attraction, and the Hogwarts Express station will be built further behind there?

If there is something coming to IoA, I think the most likely areas would be Seuss or Toon Lagoon. We do have a theater that is rarely used in TL.

No, I'm pretty sure that area is coming down for the reworked Dragon Challenge queue, Hogwarts Express, etc.

--- Update ---

ReelJustice and I have been told the new management at the top has no desire to play second fiddle to Disney again (PR/hype wise) and is readying a staggering amount of projects, but the source was unable to tell any more at this time. But the source is incredibly well connected and said he was blown away by what he or she was told.

The decade to be here! :nana:

I don't think DC's queue will extend all the way there. If anything, I think it's gonna be taken in, so instead of doing that U-turn right when you go in, I think they'll modify it so we enter and walk straight left towards the castle. Hogwarts Express Station is what I've always thought would go in the space currently occupied by the ice cream shop and tarot tent. But since this rumored new attraction for IoA came up, I'm just throwing out possibilities for LC, which really needs a ride...

No podcast. There is some stuff I hear I can't talk about publicly... so it has to be reserved for a non-copy and past format lol

I have heard that the dwarves may have some Dino competition.

Jurassic Park? :stunned: Please let it be so!

 

[ReelJustice]

I have heard that the dwarves may have some Dino competition.

We'll know soon enough because ground would have to break pretty soon to be open in 2014.

Thanks for the heads up.

Ohmanohmanohman, please!

I've come to really love JP recently, and this would amp up my love even more! Especially since I don't like getting wet often, and I don't feel like renting a kid for the Flyers....

 

[Swiminn6]

Maybe a new park is in the works where they still have a large parcel of land!

I will be a happy camper if JP is expanded because I love that part of the park but there's really only 1 (amazing) ride!

OK, I'll spill what I have heard. A family friendly "mine coaster" in the Triceratops Encounter plot. It is to be themed as an Amber mine.

That would be great. Would prefer a more thrilling coaster, but this would still be cool.

 

[tiredoldspook]

A family friendly MINE coaster, I believe a small park down the road is opening one of those soon. Involves some dwarfs ,,lol

 

[Splatter]

From what I have heard it did have some Jurassic Park to it, but I did not hear anything back of a mine train coaster kind of rumor that tends to float around. Would be interesting if that finally happened or not.

Hopefully it has to do with sprucing up the Trike area while they are at it to make that exprience open and better than ever before.


There is still that refurb on the studio side that I heard about and hope it is true.

............................Anyway, I'll be at Universal the 17th of this month, does anyone think I have a chance of catching a show pre grand opening? I only get down there once a year so I'm pretty bummed I might miss this...

 

[JungleSkip]

Thanks for the info Dave. Be interesting to see if it turns out.

That would be awesome! There can't be enough coasters in my book And if this turns out to be true, I'd be very glad because they'll utilize that area that seldom sees park guests. BTW, wasn't there word of survey markers being spotted in JP a while back? Though maybe I'm just imagining I've read things...
