Moose Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Was there any equipment to do the demo? It's odd that there was none in the picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfc Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 ^Are you sure this wasn't done by the Hulk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_K. Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 ^ As long as Universal has the rights to Marvel, I'm going to say yes, you're right. Must've been the Hulk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Starr Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Really excited to see how much the resort is going to change over the next 2-3 years. Now that DCA is done I need something new to follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jew Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I'm glad Comcast sees the value in the theme park business and is aggressively expanding! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skycoastin Steve Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Got to ride Despicable Me this morning during the Annual Passholders preview. Pretty fun attraction, although the actual ride itself is rather short compared to the preshow. I don't know if they upgraded the ride system since Jimmy Neutron (since I never rode that), but it's nothing spectacular. The theming in and around the ride building is top notch, though. It also made me want to finally see the movie, so maybe that was part of the idea, too. Either way, fun times, but I won't be waiting for this at any point during the summer.

Erik Johnson Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I am pretty sure the ride system is still the same since the Hanna Barbara Ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 ^That is my understanding as well. They have just updated the technology through each transformation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wes Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Speaking of retired attractions, did anyone here experience the Ghostbusters attraction? Would love some "reviews" of what that attraction was like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I totally LOVED the Jimmy Neutron attraction. The Chicken Dance part was off the charts funny IMO. Can't wait to hopefully try this next year when we go to FL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Johnson Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Speaking of retired attractions, did anyone here experience the Ghostbusters attraction? Would love some "reviews" of what that attraction was like. My first visit to the park was May 1991 (I had just turned 18). I remember being really disappointed with the Ghostbusters show back then. If I remember correctly the set was very similiar to the final scene of the Ghostbusters movie. I also remember that most of the speical effects were not very good. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOQuitks90g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryce Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 So apparently there is something happening at Universal Orlando, check out what Themeparkinsider wrote: - Universal appears to be demolishing Soundstage 44 at Universal Studios Florida, the former home of the Xena and Murder, She Wrote attractions. Sources on the ground in Orlando report having seen height-test balloons on that site last week, rising to or above the height of the tallest New York area facades. - Universal has filed multiple building permits for a new attraction facility in the Universal Studios Florida theme park, apparently on the Soundstage 44 site. - Whatever this project is, it has happened *fast*, with a swift selection of contractor and a fast-track mandate from Universal. - Halloween Horror Nights had planned to use Soundstage 44, and would have to change its designs at this late date if Soundstage 44 were unavailable, as it looks to be. Could this be Transformers? Or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryce Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Anyways, it just doesn't seem right because they already have Spiderman which is the exact same track layout and a very similar experience... Just wanted to offer my opinion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahecht Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Anyways, it just doesn't seem right because they already have Spiderman which is the exact same track layout and a very similar experience...

I don't remember Spiderman having two elevators. Well they are both very similar, high-tech 3-D rides, are they not? I would consider them to be in the same category. Though, it may not be a pn absolutely horrible idea to have both rides and they'd certainly be in different parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 That news got posted like five pages back. We're pretty much between Transformers and some year-round Haunt maze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragonskeep Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 A haunted dark ride would be very cool. There would be plenty of liscensed material for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 ^Not haunted dark ride. A year round haunt maze like House of Horrors at Universal Studios Hollywood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilltopper39 Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I've always thought that a year round haunt,if done properly, could be a great hight capacity attraction for ANY park yet very few exist. Hopefully if Universal decides to use this space for just that they will set the new standard for in park year round haunts and maybe more will pop up around the world.
