Universal Orlando Resort (USO, IOA) Discussion Thread

[CoasterDude211]

Based upon my past experiences at HHN, photography or video recording is strictly prohibited and enforced by staff that is placed throughout the maze. If they see that you are carrying a camera as you walk into the maze, they will tell you to put it up. This same rule applies for the Bill & Ted show. However, you are allowed to take photos and record in the streets.

 

Also, if you are going to be at the park during the day, Universal Studios has specific "holding areas" where you can go and present your HHN ticket and they will allow you to stay there for about an hour. I take advantage of this every year because they usually open up the mazes to us about 30 minutes prior to park opening. With this advantage, you can get most of the mazes done before the crowds get to them. Hope this helps!

Somewhat better POV:

 

[hobbit]

i saw that onride, but still not a good pov...

does the lapbars has touchscreens on it? does anyone has a onride where you can see how that music thing works?

[King_K.]

I already posted a video on it two pages back.

 

[woah_killa]

Does anybody have any kind of new updates?

[Not For Sale]

Please stop asking for updates. It's rude. Going to parks and doing updates are extremely time consuming.

well sorry. geez, i was just curious. no one said anything about you having to do updates. you dont have to get snippety. i was just asking.

[HatetoFLY]

When do you think Dueling Dragons will be closed for the retheming work?

I am going to visit the park during my stay in Orlando between 12 september and 22 september.

 

It will be open during your visit! I cant imagine it closing for any retheming until after the holiday season.

 

I haven't had the chance to do any updates cause my camera is broken, but I was just there this past Wednesday and Hogwarts has begun its castle exterior and the rock work is going up quickly.

Here's a video update from Magic City Mayhem showing the progress since July.

[themeparkman25]

I've been looking for awhile now and can't find the answer, but screamscape is reporting that DD was to close in late august for its final completion to potterland, but is that true? When did they close (or when will they close) and planned reopen?

[HatetoFLY]

I also wanted to point out there is a RUMOR going around that September 15 Universal will have a press conference. Take it for what its worth though, I can't imagine them not waiting until after Disney shows there cards during D23 Expo.

Saw this over on Orlando United:

 

 

And also this:

 

 

Very cool.

[KrakenKing]

Went today and got a new song to add:

 

116 - Mexicola by Queens of The Stone Age

 

I decided to pick #116 because it has not been "Discovered" yet and was psyched that they picked a Queens of The Stone Age song! Especially a not well known song. They're one of my favorite bands.

[Hercules]

Does anyone have any updates?

 

(I kid of course)

[BeemerBoy]

^ I spotted some new rebar and maybe a new faux stone.

 

PARTY AT MY PLACE TONIGHT TO CELEBRATE!!!!

[BFG]

congrats on finding another song

[Hercules]

^ "cool"? What is "cool"? Is the ride cool? Is the #116 music selection cool? Are you calling me cool?

[piers]

I love getting teaser pics, though Im slightly more interested in the new candid Scarezone pics!

Exciting to see though.

Ok, this one had me laughing hysterically, Cane fan. Thanks for the laugh.

121 - Runnin Down a Dream by Tom Petty

122 - Start Me Up by The Rolling Stones

 

[monsterfan99]

^ Yay to Tom Petty. It sounds like the bonus tracks are miles ahead of the regular ones.

[technfxrick]

So is there any word on when they are going to "finish" this coaster? Im going to the park in October and was wondering if there will still be 2+ hour wait times or if the conveyor and all 5 trains will be running
