Love the new spot. Looks like the train got some refurb love too.

I don't know. I saw a picture of them filming that scene but they were using scale models.

the models are when the train gets pushed off the track. im talking about the stunt work when its obviously a full size car on the tracks.

I love that Universal knew how important it was to keep them. Need to get some photos with Doc in the new area :smiley:

I really wouldn't know, but did they need them? If anything, they might need more ticket and will call kiosks at IOA. Perhaps in the long run, but right now I don't recall seeing ridiculous lines at USF. Especially compared to the hoards outside of IOA.

I think this is part of USF's infrastructure overhaul. It was filed the same day as the Notice of Commencement for the fiber optic install.

Ah, okay. That makes sense then, I would think. Thank you.

I don't think I like the direction the train is facing. It appears to be facing into the park forest with its bland back end facing a wide open plaza.

i need to see it in person to decide that. i do know i dont like the car because you cant get a good side photo of someone next to the car like you used to be able to.

No matter what position it's in, I have to say the location is better for sure

Agreed. The DeLorean is fine, but it looks like there wasn't much forethought with the trains positioning. Walking toward World Expo you don't really pay attention to the train until you are right up on it. Walking from World Expo toward Hollywood/Kid Zone your eyes are sort of drawn to the train (the ugly side of it) a lot more. Unfortunately you would get the ugly end of the train no matter which direction it faces.

Very true. There are actually guests stopping and taking photos! Now if only Doc gets out there to interact with guests.

The whole area is due for some love... :thumbs:

 

[Elizabeth.June]

30 days is about up, no?

Yup. Just haven't heard any talk about the walls being up so I wasn't sure. Great news. The less games, the better!

Now we just need to clean up the area between Toon Lagoon and Marvel.

Indeed.

Is there any ideas on what Universal is going to do with these games? I mean what do you do with wasted space?
