I will guess 17- 5 gal buckets of green paint or 85 gallons for those mathematically challenged..

I would love to see Seuss Landing and Toon Lagoon repainted next, because the paint on their facades has almost faded away. Wouldn't that be a great idea?

I wonder if intensely colored paint schemes really make sense in a sunny tropical environment, such as Florida's. The year-round sunlight fades intense color so quickly, that it must be difficult to keep facades from looking worn.

When I think about the places in the Florida theme parks that don't look run-down, I notice that they tend to use more natural-looking exteriors (Pirates of the Caribbean, etc.), or at least paint schemes that accommodate fading.

I don't know, it's just a thought that I keep having when I see things like Seuss Landing and Toontown fading over the years.

Strong refurbishments need to be made to Ripsaw Falls and Jurassic Park. They are very dilapidated.

I'm anxious to see what they'll do with Spider-man. Rumors have been swirling about updating the 3D or turning it into Transformers. If they change anything, I hope it's not the latter since it's going to be at USH. It's better to have different rides b/c it gives people a reason to visit the parks.

Transformers in Marvel Super Hero Island? Please, bogus rumor. I expect they'll eventually update Spiderman to use digital projection. If Transformers comes to Florida it will go to Universal Studios.

Has the Hulk been refurbished in the past couple years? It needs a lot more than a new coat of paint. That ride is too rough, it rattles my skull and gives me a headache.

My prediction is Marvel Island is going away.

We will see.......

At least Anthony and Anthony are in agreement!

Couldn't more of the problem be that Universal is not doing regular refurbishment on these attractions? While a brighter color will fade faster in the Florida sun, if it is painted regularly instead of letting it go for years it would always look fresh. I don't think the Hulk has been painted fully since Islands of Adventure opened correct? I always see Disney doing something to their buildings, but rarely Universal.
