What's the one thing you miss at Adventureland? I miss the Super Screamer (the very roller coaster I'd ever ridden!) And The Mixer, which was an awesome thill ride addition to their midway.

According to a few employees at Universal, these are Forbidden Journey reservation tickets (Fast Pass!).

Had anyone heard about a soft opening in January? It used to be posted on the parks Wikipedia page, but you can't always trust that, of course. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wizarding_World_of_Harry_Potter_(Universal_Studios_Hollywood)

At the park today. It's been open 50 minutes and count is 3-Batman, 2-Green Lantern, 3-RR. Love these days!

Has anyone visited the park on New Year's Eve? What's it like? Busy? Does that park do anything special? I was thinking of going there for New Year's Eve, but was curious if any of you had been there at that time!

Adventureland has a sweet spot on me. Considering it's my former, hometown park. I grew up with this park and went every year until I moved. It is a downright shame it took them this long to get a new roller coaster (20+ years; 24 years if you don't consider that embarrassing Underground), but it's finally happening! I will definitely be visiting next year to ride this Monster! Watch out Iowa! I'm coming home. Oh, here's a picture of me with my vintage Tornado shirt. If only I could travel back in time when if first opened. Maybe this guy can help.

I would have to agree on this one. Great Lantern is TERRIBLE. But X2 isn't all that bad. Just be sure to take your vitamins! And by vitamins, I mean, Tylenol.
