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

[Shellemonster]

That article is packed with information, nice find! Indoor snow? Count me in.

 

^LOL indeed! I had to look the wordfilter thing up, but I guess that's why there are so many dings and dongs going on over at the Rip Ride Rockit forum... locker

 

Haha, it worked! This is like a scavenger hunt, there needs to be a forum with all the words that have been discovered.

[PKI Jizzman]

Wow, cool playlist. I really, really need to hit this park up in December...

[X2coasterfreak]

Yay! A lot of good songs are on Playlist. Paralyzer I'm surprised about. It is one of my favorite songs but I would never expect it on this ride. Cool, awesome song list together with a great ride equals amazingness.

LOL.. I didn't get it at first and was trying to figure out what was so funny. Then I finally notice it... hahaha.

 

That is some funny stuff... locker

[RctInfinity]

This looks awesome, though I'm sort of worried whether the restraint and the touchscreen device would be lopsided at my size, since the lap bar closes from the side. I mean, it'd be a little awkward to select a song (and hang on) if the touchscreen is to my left or right.

 

Then again, I haven't been on a Maurer-Sohne before.

[silvercrew1]

I'm so pumped for this. I just realized I'll be there this fall and it will be open!

[nemesiscrazy]

It is looking really cool, it seems to run really well. The silence of it is very different to the likes of a B&M. Most likely deliberate as there are eateries and rest areas where it is placed.

 

Looking good though!

[King_K.]

The one lowly picture I was able to find of Employee Testing.

 

[dragsterfan420]

That's pretty sweet playlist. I can't wait to ride it!

[TheHulk]

Awesome playlist. I like a few of the songs on it...except the country ones of course. Anyway, glad to see that they've got people on the ride, even though it's just employees.

[Vondroff]

Yes!!!! A HUMAN has ridden it. This might actually mean that it MAY (keyword "may") soft-open soon. And to think those were just rumors

[Mr. Starr]

I have to say I did laugh a little half way through that article!

[justint87]

^ My thoughts exactly. Its great to finally see an actual person testing the ride. This could mean it is getting closer to an soft opening and we can all finally get a ride on this thing.

[ChrisFL]

Are they going to put seizure warnings around people WATCHING the ride at night?

[themeparkman25]

Does anyone else think it is funny that they have Daft Punk - Stronger Faster Whatever song and then also have Kanye - Stronger?

 

I am not too impressed with the playlist, especially two bestie boys? Mix it up Universal, there are millions of songs out there so why pick two of the same band?

[monsterfan99]

^ I had to do a double take on the Daft Punk and Kanye doing basically the same song.

 

The track list looks fun and a good mix of old and new. Hopefully the ride is at least soft opening by August

[robbalvey]

Hopefully the ride is at least soft opening by August

I'd have to hope that it will soft open before August. That's just my guess.

any body found out how much the dvd's will be?

[Guest]

I think the DVD's are like $30.00

[Vondroff]

I think the DVD's are like $30.00

 

Well that should make up for the 40 million they spent on this ride

[Théo the little french]

I think the DVD's are like $30.00

 

30$!! That's very expensive! It's almost a shame!

[Capitalize]

There are at least a couple songs on that playlist I like so that'll be cool.

[slipstream]

Was in the park this morning - crane and basket on the lift hill and a crew up on the high level trim brake section beside Twister, same place as a team as working most of last Friday. Ops CM, I caught in conversation had no clue and seemed to think I would be home long before any soft opening.

The official song list has been released!

 

What tune will you be rockin' out to for your first ride?

Song list!

[SuperShawn]

I like the selection of songs, there's something for everyone.

 

Does anyone know if they'll be able to update and change songs in the future?
