Universal Orlando Resort (USO, IOA) Discussion Thread

[Usf geekShe turned me into a donkey! I got better...]

Actually Animal Planet, Fievel, Curious George and E.T are In a different area, Kidzone.

[ChrisFLI teach at the school of donkey!]

Hmm, maybe that name changed, I thought it was all part of World Expo back when USF was new (and some of that wasnt open yet)

[JT3000The only thing better than a naked woman is a naked donkey!]

Yep, BTTF Is defenatly going next year, And will be replaced by a Simpsons Simulator.

Again, this means nothing without sources... legit sources.

Oh, I've got my sources, But they'll probably get Into alot of trouble If I say who they are...

If you don't, we have no reason to believe you when you state something matter-of-factly. Everyone has "sources" these days. It's amazing.

The theme of the area is pretty generic..."World Expo" can mean a lot of things...I mean you have MIB, BTTF, Animal Planet, Fievel, Curious George and E.T., I dont' see any regular theme there.

World Expo's theming isn't very good, but it's a theme nonetheless. The only World Expo attractions are BTTF and MIB. Everything else you mentioned is in the Kidzone.

Dreamworks is, but not WB, WB is down the hill from USH it tells you on the tour.

Nope Dreamworks is Spielburgs and 2 other guy's company. Although since Spielburg has had such a long relationship with universal, I'm sure anything they ask to use he agrees to in a heart beat.

Here's a new rumor from screamscape..

The latest buzz on the rumored Simpsons ride is that the working title right now is The Simpsons: Sprint Through Springfield. In addition to using the IMAX system for the ride, we’ve heard the plan is to add a bunch of 4D Theater style effects to the new ride.

Looks like the Simpsons ride is most likely going to happen.

I dont know if I like it.. I mean, the simpsons are great and all , but USF already has an animation-based motion simulator and an animation based 4-d theater.

Ive heard a rumor that instead of a simpsons based motion sim that they were going to put one in themed to the Fast and Furious movies. Now Im not a fan of those movies myself, but I could see that being a more realistic possibility, and would probably be more exciting than the simpsons IMO. Then, next to the BTTF building, they can put in a BTTF themed 88mph Intamin rocket.

I would rather them save the simpsons idea for something bigger... I like how someone else mentioned making a whole new island in IOA dedicated to the simpsons. That would be sweet!

^No,I'd Rather have a Jurassic Park coaster.

[ImhotepA zonkey is a cross between a zebra and a donkey.]

^me too, but considering we are talking about BTTF I figured I would stick to the topic.

I heard that rumor too about Fast and the Furious but I just disregarded it because I think those movies don't have a big enough fan base to make a ride out of it...Plus, they probably won't make a new Fast and the Furious and there aren't any memorable scenes, so the ride will get old very fast.

I say, if Twister can have it's own ride/exhibit/whatever, then anything is possible.
