Universal Orlando Resort (USF, IOA, Epic) Discussion Thread

[larrygator]

^Wow you're eating like Joey Ray nowadays.

[alpengeist04]

Thanks for the food report, Adam.

 

 

The E-ticket rides like Transformers and Forbidden Journey are great, but it's additions like Springfield that really makes the park. ...Really brings it all together, feels more complete.

[Jew]

Any pictures of the Ribwich?

 

Or did you have buyers remorse?

[oriolat]

I had the chance to visit Universal Studios Florida last week and I loved the fast food place. Kudos to Universal for bringing not only amazing rides but also amazing and tasty food like butterbeer and the themed stalls at the Simpsons area.

 

I ordered a Krusty Burger, which had side curly fries. I also got a Flaming Moe and it was so cool having the smoke coming out of the cup for a good 10 minutes. I think the drink will become popular over time, although I reckon that it is a bit overpriced, given the amount of drink that you get.

[jray21]

Awesome update! I am extremely impressed by how much you ordered! It looks like they've done a great job with the area. I really like all the options and what they're called. I'll definitely be visiting the park next time I'm in the area.

 

Also, why am I not surprised at all by this?

 

There is a free Love Tester in the corner of the venue that works! I was apparently Love Lorn.

They did a great job with the new Springfield expansion. This really has me wanting to make it back to Universal soon, maybe next year.

[MaxwellPower]

Do they sell Powersauce bars in the Springfield foodcourt?

[TPInvestigator]

I go to USF next week and I cannot wait to relax with a Duff and a Krusty Burger. I am dreading the queue for Transformers however!

[MaxwellPower]

Thinking of Powersauce bars also made me think of Homer climbing Mount Murderhorn. Which made me think of how awesome it would be if Universal made a coaster themed to the Murderhorn. It could be like Expedition Everest except with Sherpas and the train could be themed to look like the frozen dead guy that Homer rode down the mountain. Oh well, a guy can dream I guess.

Found this picture online. It made me laugh.

^^The people that stay at Universal Resort's hotel get to go into the park an hour before opening so I would recommend staying at their hotel if you want to get everything done before the crowds come in.

 

Don't they also get fast pass as a perk?

[sfgam#1]

So I will be visiting USO sometime in July. I usually visit Orlando when school is going on or sometime during February, mostly because I know the crowds will be light. But my question is how are crowds in July?

[necoastergp]

^Crowded. Prepare to wait in long lines without express.

Found in the DVD packaging

[ernierocker]

^Wrong thread? But this is a rumored house for the Orlando event. I guess they finally have access to the franchise now with the reboot.

[Wes]

The trailer for the rebooted Evil Dead was horrifying...I don't think I can bring myself to watch the movie. Should make an amazing maze though...just hope there's an Ash cameo!

[Jew]

^^Do we have an HHN thread for this year yet?

 

This was a flier that apparently came with the DVD...confirming the maze for both coasts.

[jedimaster1227]

We're using the parks' respective main threads for all HHN coverage, so feel free to post then here and in the Universal Hollywood thread!

I somehow missed where it said Universal Studios Orlando.

 

I would assume with both Evil Dead and Cabin in the Woods in the same event, the Cabin in the Woods house will concentrate more on the facility scenes rather than the cabin scenes.

I’ve decided I will need to disconnect my home phone when I open this file on my computer. Obviously whoever is monitoring my moves online will know, but at least they cannot harass me in my house.

 

Some of you are asking why I don’t open up the blog for comments and this is precisely the reason – you do not want to draw their attention because they may start to focus on you too.

 

Back to the issue at hand, the bloody photographs look like pictures of hand-drawn sketches. Will explain in more detail in next post…PS

[alpengeist04]

...just hope there's an Ash cameo!

 

That would automatically make it epic.

[StealthFan]

I like the fact universal start their build up so early I would love if some UK parks would take note and start the build up this early.

Or maybe this year's theme is "Scary Cabins".

Well, let's hope they skip "Dreamcatcher."

HIs voice made a cameo in the remake.
