I bet a lot of people are going to be pissed that there is no Coors Light either! Me? I'm looking at trying out this one...surprised you didn't notice this one right away, Guy! Is that a beer or a porn site?

Great idea Robb! Definitely! The Crouses are a great family, and I encourage TPR members to help them out as much as they can.

Good luck. I'll be sure to try some it this comes to pass.

^Even though that particular beer is now owned and brewed by a Belgian company? Personally, I'll go with the true "American made" beers. They come from local microbreweries. But to each his or her own.

I feel the same way. The Budweiser taste way crisper there its beautiful. Life is too short to waste time drinking swill.

I was wondering how they were going to handle this potential problem.

Some good stuff on that lift of craft brews.

Exactly. Yes, the delay is unfortunate, but a launched coaster of this type is, indeed, unique, and it's not shocking that RMC and the park want to get it running properly. Which is worse--delaying the opening or dealing with the fallout of opening a ride prematurely and seeing it break down constantly? This is also true.

Here is the "official" announcement for the new Walking Dead attraction. Universal Studios Hollywood Takes on the Zombie Apocalypse Announcing a Permanent Walk-Through Attraction Based on AMC’s Award-Winning Series, “The Walking Dead,” Opening Summer 2016 Intense, All-New State-of-the-Art Theme Park Addition Continues Destination’s Ongoing Revitalization Universal City, California, March 14, 2016 – Universal Studios Hollywood brings the most popular show in cable television history to life in Summer 2016 when AMC’s Golden Globe award-nominated television series, The Walking Dead, sets up permanent residency at The Entertainment Capital of L.A. in an all-new immersive, cutting-edge attraction. Universal Studios Hollywood has worked collaboratively with AMC’s “The Walking Dead” for years as a signature “Halloween Horror Nights” maze. This newly enhanced venture will take the highly sought-after experience from a seasonal, limited time offering to an authentic 365 day opportunity, raising the bar for themed walk-through attractions. For a look at what to expect when the attraction opens this summer, please click . To further elevate the authenticity of this new attraction, Universal Studios Hollywood is partnering with “The Walking Dead’s” creative team, including visionary executive producer and director, Greg Nicotero and his special effects company, KNB Efx. Greg’s team, responsible for masterfully creating the show’s realistic decaying walkers, will construct prosthetics, utilize original molds and painstakingly apply paint and detailing to the attraction walkers. The integral involvement of the creative team will not only inspire the emotional connection fans experience, it will be among the attraction’s key distinguishing characteristics that will define it as a living version of the show. “The Walking Dead” attraction will create a no-holds-barred experience that significantly intensifies any other iteration previously developed within the theme park. Coupled with authentic walker make-up effects, sophisticated animatronic walkers, substantially more detailed set design and costuming, and highly recognizable props replicated from the series, the attraction will deliver an uncompromised realistic environment that brings guests even further into the most watched show in cable television history. “’The Walking Dead’ is a phenomenon that has successfully and consistently affected the psyche of viewers on a global basis, since its debut,” said Larry Kurzweil, President of Universal Studios Hollywood. “We’re taking its intensity to the next level by collaborating with the show’s award-winning production team to create an authentic living representation of the series that can only be experienced at Universal Studios Hollywood.” “We’re so grateful for our longstanding partnership with the talented team at Universal Studios Hollywood. We've shared a successful three-year partnership at Halloween Horror Nights and now this permanent 'The Walking Dead' walk- through attraction takes the relationship and the fan experience to the next level," said Charlie Collier, President of AMC and SundanceTV. “Along with our great partners at Universal, it means a great deal to us to continue entertaining -- and frightening -- passionate, loyal fans of 'The Walking Dead' for years to come." The “The Walking Dead” attraction will be located within an entirely new, custom built structure, situated within an expansive building complex just inside the theme park’s main entry. The past five years have been a remarkable time for Universal Studios Hollywood as the destination embarked on an unprecedented revitalization that has substantially altered over 75 percent of its familiar footprint to effectively characterize it as an entirely new theme park experience. The introduction of the all-new “The Walking Dead” attraction continues the theme park’s unparalleled investment in an ambitious epic transformation. AMC’s “The Walking Dead” depicts the story of survivors in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by hordes of terrifying flesh-eating walkers. It is the #1 show on television among adults 18-49 for the last four years and in its sixth season, the most highly-rated show in cable television history.

Due to the intense nature of this experience, the attraction is not recommended for guests under the age of 13.

Ugh, thankfully! That dome was an eyesore, honestly. Next step, Temple of the Night Hawk/Hollywood Tour! No! Not Hollywood Tour! Most awesome ride in the history of awesomeness!

A rapids ride themed to noodles . . . you can't get much more Japanese than that.

Devil's Backbone Vienna Lager . . . . . . while watching Zootopia at the Williamsburg Movie Tavern.

Same. Parks in other countries have year-round, walk-through haunts, but there aren't that many in U.S. parks (the one at Indiana Beach comes to mind).

I'm not a big fan of Walking Dead, either--kind of over the whole "zombie" thing. But the show is still very popular, so I can understand why Universal is doing this. If it's done well, I'll check it out the next time I visit USH.

Killers from Space

^Which has been locked.

I Was a Teenage Werewolf

"Arr! Who among ye be havin' a problem with me Treasure Train?"

No.

Yes, it "makes sense." "Fun" should be the number-one criterion for judging any ride.

Williamsburg Alewerks Bitter Valentine I think this is the best beer that Alewerks brews. I tend to like my beer on the bitter side.

Even if you're not a fan of the Harry Potter franchise, you have to appreciate the level of detail that went into re-creating the world of the books and movies.
