Well, It has been a few weeks so we thought it was time due for an update. If you're planning on visiting and Jurassic Park River Adventure is one of your favorite rides, be prepared for some disappointment. It has been closed due to refurbishment. I guess it's better than for it to go this way than to see a non functional T-Rex or any other dinosaurs. This refurbishment is definitely long overdue.
Universal has just announced that they will be placing a new mini-golf attraction right at City Walk! The themes for this will be Universal Horror films and 50's Sci-Fi. Its due to open early 2012..We will definitely be roaming about to see if we can get any pictures of the construction.
I assume we all know by now, Jimmy Neutron is no more, well in a sense. Jimmy Neutron will only be running during peak times up until later this year and will be replaced by a new ride. Slowly but surely, Universal has begun the diminishing of any traces of Nickelodeon by painting over "Hey Arnold" on the side of the building(pics to come soon). The announcement of the new ride will be announced on May 19th but the new theme is most likely going to towards 'Despicable Me'. Also in the ride rumor mill, is that both Disaster and Terminator will be being replaced with new attractions as well. Due to the popularity of the new Kong 360 3D attraction in Hollywood, they're looking to bring it to Orlando as well in Disaster's place.
And now for some HHN news! If you don't know what HHN is, it's one of the worlds best Halloween attractions, Halloween Horror Nights. I myself have been coming to Orlando every year for about 15 years for this, and now that I have moved here..it's easier to get some dirt on what's going on! Their permits have been filled and approved for whatever it is they may be doing. I would say keep an eye out on HHH.com in the next few weeks to see if there's any updates, because it's almost that time! Unfortunately I believe they will still keep it in JUST the Studios again this year, which I hope will change in the next few years because HHN has truly outgrown itself. Coming up with Fast Passes for the Haunts just doesn't seem to be enough anymore. Even on NON peak nights you can find yourself waiting in line for haunts up to 2 HOURS!
What do you think the Icon and themes will be?
