KBrylczyk Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Mostly news that has been around for a while now, but still nice to hear more details. The night time tour sounds like it's gonna be pretty great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonGeorge Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 It seems like very recently, whenever USH has an attraction that first opened at USF, Hollywood always gets a very nice facade. First the neighborhood for Minion Mayhem, and now Springfield's facade. I'm really liking this, and I can't wait to see all the new amounts of effort being put in this season.

Jew Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Well, in Florida Springfield is not right next to Wizarding World of Harry Potter either. Great way to hide the two lands from each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disney4me2001 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Guests visiting “Springfield” will have the pleasant sensation of being hurled through their television sets For some reason I found this incredibly funny. I can't wait to come back to USH this summer. This is what I pictured when I read that (skip to the 14:00 mark): [youtu_be]https://youtu.be/Q1XZe4KDnf0[/youtu_be] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The Nighttime Studio Tour sounds like a good idea, especially if they use Norman Bates and the Frankenstein monster well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonGeorge Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The Nighttime Studio Tour sounds like a good idea, especially if they use Norman Bates and the Frankenstein monster well. The Bates Motel stunt seems really good on paper, but it doesn't really work out on the actual tour, especially with the faded Whoville towering in the background. Bates coming up seems to work only if you sit in the back of the tram, and even then, it's still pretty cheesy to see him raise the knife and return back. I hope they can improve on this part of the tram tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I'm assuming it will be different for the night time version of the tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jray21 Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I think he should be able to actually kill anyone on the tram who has a selfie stick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6flagsbrad Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 It would be funny if they had an actor pretending to be a guest get kidnapped from the tram and taken hostage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I think he should be able to actually kill anyone on the tram who has a selfie stick! They'll probably save that for a Friday the 13th maze during HHN. Jason will impale a tourist with a selfie stick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DallasAlvey Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 We recently got a chance to check out the new "Dig: Escape the Room," a new limited run experience that traps guests in a locked room and challenges them to work together to solve riddles and puzzles in order to escape. Our group of about 10 people ALMOST made it out but ended up falling short with only one more puzzle to go. Can't say a much about specifics without giving anything away, I will say if you haven't done one of these escape rooms before go check it out, they're a lot of fun! "Dig: Escape the Room" runs now through March 5th. We also checked out construction of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Springfield. Great day to come out to Universal! Escape the Room is located inside the globe theater, this is what awaits on the inside. Last thing you see before entering the room and that's all I can show you. You'll have to see the rest in person We didn't escape. Lunar New Year is also going on right now. Mandarin speaking Optimus Prime was really interesting! Hogsmede's coming along nicely! Most of the buildings look almost ready to go! The Castle's also taking shape. Another angle. Springfield's looking great! Can't wait till this is open! Love how this is looking! Fast and Furious is looking good! The building is HUGE! Met up with Norman Bates on the tram, I wonder what the Tripadvisor reviews are like? We'll give you a good review Norman!!!! With all the construction going on at the park, I love that they've added construction workers as street characters! Got to hang out with some hot Ancient Egyptian chicks! Fun day at the park! Lot's of cool stuff going on at Universal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBrylczyk Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Holy crap. I had no idea Springfield was going to look like that! Awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X2coasterfreak Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 After visiting the Orlando parks this summer I am very excited to see USH get their own Potterworld, Forbidden Journey is definitely my all around favorite dark ride. Too bad we won't be getting two kick ass B&M inverts out west though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jray21 Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Great update! I'm so looking forward to the Springfield addition. It's looking really great. When is it supposed to be finished? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 At the pace things keep getting added to the area, it sure seems like it is close to being ready! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jew Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 It should definitely be an upgrade over the old spinning tunnel! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jray21 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 It's amazing how much CGI has taken over the film industry. While I'm not a huge fan of the franchise, it'll definitely be better than the previous version! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 It should definitely be an upgrade over the old spinning tunnel! But nothing will top the ultimate cheesefest that was the Battle of Galactica! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBJ Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Now that is one awesome tram tunnel attraction! Thanks for the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Springfield is coming along nicely! Employees have been seen going in and out all day. Bumbleman Taco Truck signage Walls are starting to come down! Disco Stu does advertise afterall... More awesome details! Oh, and Shrek is getting a nicer queue.

Mater Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Is there actually going to be dancing and drinks in Stu's Disco? I have a pair of fish tank platform shoes I've been waiting to bust out. Also, loving that next level Shrek queue. Looks seriously classy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonGeorge Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 ^^I love how that Paul Flart joke seems to have become more relevant than it was in the Jane Lynch episode from 2011 considering the Paul Blart sequel coming out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The doors lead to a backstage area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
