    DHS Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway confirmed

    As far as the art style is concerned we need to remember that the kids today are growing up with this style with a more wild and crazy Mickey. Less corporate icon and more rascal. My 12 year old daughter loves the new style, it's modern and a throw back at the same time. So if their building a...

    Universal Orlando Getting Bigger, Better, Wetter, Wilder

    2014 was a Universal year for my family. My daughter turned 10 so we thought she was the right age for their offerings. Being South Floridians we spent a lot of time this past year in UNI and had a blast. UNI has definitely stepped up their game. While we were enjoying our time in UNI as a...

    Hogwarts Express Soft Opened

    Quick question: Will I be able to ride HE this Friday and Saturday? I have an annual pass so park hopping is not an issue.

    Disney Playing catch up with Universal... Potter Disney's biggest mistake in 20 years...

    I can see it now, Dad's pulling the family towards the Classic Game land while son is pulling everybody towards the Action Land. And don't forget daughters you will want to go to the land where they have Dance Party or dress up game themed attractions. And everybody can come together for Mario...

    Disney Playing catch up with Universal... Potter Disney's biggest mistake in 20 years...

    I don't think a park with only one concept is a good idea. But a large video game land done right would be cool.

    Disney Playing catch up with Universal... Potter Disney's biggest mistake in 20 years...

    I think your demo would expand well beyond 17-29. Especially if you include classic games and current. Seeing attractions from games of yesteryear would attract those of us over 40 and Mario type attractions would attract kids starting as young 6 years old. Young and old play games these days. I...

    Video game sales reached $15.39 billion in 2013. That's a large audience for guaranteed success.

    Disney Playing catch up with Universal... Potter Disney's biggest mistake in 20 years...

    Think of the classic games like Asteroids, Space Invaders, Centipede, Pac Man and so on. Just getting a few classic games would turn into awesome rides. A Centipede roller coaster or maybe a Pac Man dark ride of some sort. Then move on down to maybe a Halo ride or whatever is todays hot item.

    Disney Playing catch up with Universal... Potter Disney's biggest mistake in 20 years...

    I never even considered video games as the next IP, but that would be amazing. If UNI could make the right deals they could have a land that covers the classic Atari 2600 games that I grew up with all the way up to todays bestsellers. The ride possibilities are endless.

    Universal Easter Eggs

    The Lost Continent is one of the best themed areas I've seen. It's just too bad that there isn't a good ride to hold peoples attention.

    Disney Playing catch up with Universal... Potter Disney's biggest mistake in 20 years...

    Disclaimer: I am a Disney fanatic, but decided this year to buy Universal Annual Pass this year for a change. With the success Uni is having with Potter I am concerned they will rely on this IP too much. There are a lot of people out there that could care less about Potter. I love FJ but I have...

    I did almost everything in 2 days back in April without Express Passes. Some rides twice.

    Frozen ride replacing Maelstrom?

    At the very least Maelstrom needs to be updated. I go to EPCOT a few times a year and only ride Maelstrom every couple of years. So I am usually skipping it because it feels so outdated. And that movie at the end….. Frozen should probably stay in the Magic Kingdom, but update Maelstrom too.

    Hogwarts Express: E Ticket?

    My family could care less about Harry Potter. We easily passed by the Potter World several times without being tempted to stop. Eventually we stopped and got on the current ride. We didn't really like the subject matter but LOVED the ride. Now we can't wait to experience the new HP rides...
