Now granted, I have not even set foot on the revamp, but from the account given, it is pretty much what I thought it would be and that's a fresh coat of paint on an old barn! If you are a first time tourist the ride is pretty cool. Even maybe the second time you ride it. After that I pretty much don't want to waste 30 minutes or so of my day to sit through the three minutes of FX (if it is that much).

I am a local with passes and have seen Disney add attraction after attraction the past few years to keep fresh and offer a bigger bang for the buck. USF is basically the same park it was 5 years ago with the exception of Mummy's Revenge (a great addition) and Fear Factor (meh). I bought Premier Passes for the second year in a row only because they dropped the price for renewals to $200 and with a free HHN ticket and valet parking as perks I thought we would go ahead mostly out of the "we've always had them" attitude and not value. We will see what happens when "Potterland" opens. That will be the real turning point.

We need some fresh REALLY NEW attractions to both USF and IOA! When was the last time IOA added anything of value? It is getting to be a bore! I hope I don't sound like a spoiled local! Vacationers for the first time will find the parks are a LOT of fun! I wish I could get that feeling back for USF!

Oh please, not the Terminator! Can we not close Twister down first?!

Merry Christmas y'all.

I hope Terminator is only closing for an extensive rehab and clean up of the film - it's a great attraction and the very definition of "putting you in the movies".

I'm thinking that with the new Terminator TV show coming out, maybe they are looking to revamp it, although without Arnie I can't see too many people going to it. I aslo can't see the show lasting too long.
Maybe they've made another film for it, but again, Arnie hasn't had the time to it in receny years, so I highly doubt it.

As it is a big theatre they can easily put another show in, like maybe a Deal or No Deal Interactive Game show, similar to Millionaire at Disney. That would be pretty good and definately something I'd go to!!

Hmm, what do you think about that?

My friend actually worked on the ride. It's pretty neat. He designed the video highlights they show from the train now. He said though that the way universal wanted it, each shot is only about 2 seconds long and not enough for people to see themselves unless you are a very good observer.
Well I can't wait to go on it, i was in there during remodeling when they were working on it, he showed me around, but obviously it wasn't running. Can't wait to go on it.

From the laughter on the way back, 2 secinds is long enough.
You can clearly make out the people who were humiliated on stage. You just have to be watching the screen.

Sounds interesting, but somewhat expected. I'll be looking forward to going on Disaster! next time I go to Universal.

From Chris Walton on December 24, 2007 at 4:42 PM
Awesome! I love Christopher Walken! He's one of the great actors of our time! And he's friggin' hilarious...

I can't wait to check it out!

Nice work Gareth.

Can't wait to see Ahhhnooollddd go! Buh bye Guvna' !!!

BTW, I have a fever and the only prescription is...MORE COWBELL!!!

From Greg Shilton on December 24, 2007 at 5:09 PM
Will the closing of Terminator be for USF AND USH????

Please say yes. I'm so done with Terminator...

Oh crap, but a TV series of it just came out. Does that mean it will be updated?

bah.

From Robert OGrosky on December 26, 2007 at 11:27 AM
Now it would be a real disaster if Terminator was closed!!!!

With the filming coming up with Chistian Bale playing John Connor there is no reason to close down the best 3 d movie ever made. Add some scene's/rearrange something but no reason at all to close a true classic attraction!!

From Anthony Murphy on December 28, 2007 at 7:07 AM
Sounds good!

Down with the Guvna!!!!
