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

P. 625: Harry Potter Ministry of Magic revealed!

Recommended Posts

- Universal will not confirm or deny B&M being involved with the new coaster.

They did confirm it actually, just not super publicly

 

Well... There's that. I guess I'll have to hold on the hope of a different US park getting T-Rex track!

That was a long shot hope anyway to see a ride of such popularity and demand in Orlando be replaced by some prototype track design. B&M worked for this many years, year round, and that's their reputation.

We'll know for sure within the next week. IAAPA starts tomorrow and IIRC, RMC will be announcing the first installation there.

The chances of that though are probably high, as RMC is very cost friendly, and they have proven themselves for a few years now.

Yes, but regardless of how much they've "proven" themselves, when a manufacturer launches a new product, that's all out the window.

Had to renew my USO/IOA season pass yesterday, so took some pics of Hulk, Kong, and holiday decor.

 

Note: I was able to charge my 2014 Prius Plug In for FREE at Valet parking! Unlike WDW which charges minimum $1.50 plus any additional charge. To fill up my car, it only take $.40 worth of electricity. So thanks Universal and boo Disney!

Thanks for the update! Is there a bit of work going on with the footers, or am I seeing things?

 

To me it looks like they are making the footers taller. But I know about 0.0% of what they are actually doing so there is a small chance I might be wrong.

 

I can't wait to see what comes out of this project.

^It does seem so indeed. If you go back to the first post on page 1204 you can see that they simply cut the supports leaving the bolts in the footer. It could be that they're simply pouring concrete over the old bolts to save some work. We'll know once they have done some more footers.

Not spreading rumors, although I suppose if it hasn't been "officially" announced it will be a rumor until proven otherwise. I suppose you will just have to wait and see!

 

I guess I was spreading rumors here, too, when I mentioned this (back in July, mind you)... http://www.themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=70151&p=1607427&hilit=track#p1607427
