Our definition of "show" is pretty much... if you remain seated or standing in the same place through the entire performance, it's a show. If you move, it's a ride.
Then, World of Color it is.
Thanks for the clarification, sir!
Based on my personal beliefs:
Best Theme Park: Universal's Islands of Adventure
Best New Attraction: Outlaw Run
Best Themed Ride: Pirates of the Caribbean (DL)
Best Show: Universal's Horror Make-Up Show
Best Roller Coaster: Montu
Best Full Service Restaurant: Mythos
Best Quick Service Restaurant: Flame Tree Barbecue
Best On-site Hotel: Royal Pacific
I just hope that people will vote based on personal experience, not on reputation or watching videos on YouTube. If you've only seen a video, then you haven't experience the attraction.
So is Hogsmeade Express eligible as guest could ride it on the 30th via the packages?
We're going with official opening date, so, not for this year.
