I'm pissed about the removal * shrugs * I loved that billboard.
The special billboards, this one in particular ,and the purple street signs are special things when arriving to Disney World for vacation.
It's a shame it's going away and it's certainly not stupid that anyone is bummed about it
It was a strangely iconic piece of the Disney experience from the Eisner era
Hoooowever
To suggest that Epic Universe isn't getting any attention is a bit silly as well
Bio literally lives in a helicopter now, several well known Disney Twitters are constantly tweeting about it, and of course Parkstop is rolling out EU videos what feels like daily
...and this is before anything interesting has taken place
I know some of you find moving dirt interesting, but the *real* fun stuff hasn't even started yet

What an incredible time we live in. Thanks to all that provide us our theme park porn
I was noticing in the permits the hotels across the street will have a spa (hot tub). That means they won't be "value" resorts like Endless Summer. I'm hoping for Sapphire Falls level.

I don't think the blue is paint, I think it's tape.
I mean, even the shadiest of hotels on I-drive have hot tubs/jacuzzi right? They may not work half the time but they have them lol. The Endless summer hotels don't have them?
it does have a giant vagina pool though. I think it's a fair trade off.
Looks like a new batch of aerials coming from Bio:

I'm curious why they haven't started construction on the body of water closest to the entrance with the Atlantis restaurant. I had assumed they would work on all the water features in tandem given how connected they are.
BioReconstruct has photos showing possibly coaster footings being built in Monsters area. Has this coaster been theorized/hinted at before now? Or could this possibly be an outdoor portion of the main dark ride?
Edit: scrap last part. Footings look to be a little far from main attraction building to be connected. So, theories on theme of coaster in terms of Classic Monsters?

I've been talking about a possible coaster in Monsters since March. Rumor was the theater in the area was replaced with a coaster. Permits seemed to back up this change.
From the photo today, it appears that the coaster will not only take up the space of the former theater, but also will go all the way out to where there was a central courtyard in the land. This does not seem to affect the restrooms and retail nearby, but this does mean the coaster is central to the land!
EDIT: Oh and to answer your other question, leading rumor/theory is the coaster is based on WolfMan.
Sorry Alicia. I do remember you saying something about that. Some days I can't remember what I did yesterday
