Doesn’t Florida get enough rain?

Doesn’t Florida get enough rain?

yeah, the state that advertises itself as the Sunshine state. All I ever see are clouds when I visit.

Would there be an issue with actual rain machines but set to a tiny drizzle? That would be cool to me and very unique.

Sir, its in Florida. Why would you want more rain?

extremely nerd voice: only four states get more rain (in inches) than florida. more than double what we get in california, on average! climate!

Nothing irritates people at theme parks more than moist socks....especially when not near a water ride

Because as a Floridian I’m used to it and don’t care lol

Maybe a constant mist instead then.

I think lightening effects at night are a given, similar to what they do at Haunted Mansion at MK.

Amazing shot of HTTYD:

Until a couple weeks ago, it sure wasn't!

There's new track installed on the dueling coaster. Looks like the first turn after the inversions. You can actually see it from the main Universal exit off of eastbound I4.

Its like flipping a switch, dry spring then hello rainy season. Pretty standard in my 20 years there

Which coaster will start testing first?

Amazing to see so many going up simultaneously

My guess is DK.

Second hotel (a half-block or so north of the first on Universal) has gone vertical with a 6-story stairwell.

New Bio updates:

Double post, but Bio went all out today with good stuff. This isn't even all of it.

These are awesome!

I just cannot wait to see how they make it so that the real track and arm holding the cart are hidden from outside guests eyes. It just seems impossible to achieve so I am eagerly awaiting Japan’s opening of the ride.

Aren’t they opening around the same time?

I don't know if it will take them 2 years for a smaller than the original SNW to open unless they are really dragging. I'd say next year but unfortunately, I cannot find any progress photos.
