I imagine those windows around the bathrooms will contain more than just city silhouettes when this is finished.

More often than not, I hate this website. Also I feel like they slap you in the face with this post, but then the article is mainly positive with good reasoning. It's like those first I'm sour, then I'm sweet commercials.

Well, of course Jimmy isn't swinging for the fences. That's Volcano Bay's and Nintendo's job.

Right, and thats what the article reasons.

Am I just interpreting the post incorrectly, is that supposed to be a slight towards disney and not universal?

I really have no idea. It reads very strangely.

So, are all of those windows in the upper facade opaque?

@Teebin any idea why they haven't added the rock work to these two elements above the entrance? is there lighting or screens going here? or maybe just the anchors for the giant Jimmy?

They're sculpted things, so probably don't want to break them installing the Jimmy.

From the article "A park consisting only of massive E-Ticket rides can feel somewhat unfulfilling due to the long lines."

Of all the reasons why you might say a lesser ticket ride would be good this is irrelevant to bring up. A smaller ride has less capacity and could have the same or longer lines. Otherwise it is like saying you hope a new ride isn't popular so the lines are short.

Also do people like the author consider studios "sparse"? Maybe if you are under a certain age or are counting "attractions" to mean more than actual rides.

I just saw this posted on the UOAP FB page.

^ Wow, they are doing well at staying out in front us all. I have never seen them do this before.

It's a cheap way to generate some buzz.

Just to be clear this is a photo someone got of the sign I assume being delivered to the park, it's not my photo.

I probably should have used the word group instead of page, sorry for any confusion.

Well, I maintain that UO should be posting this stuff. It's as if they haven't gotten a handle on social media yet.

They like to downplay their attraction additions for whatever reason. Things like Potter and Volcano Bay they hype up big time (for good reason), but the small time additions don't even get the cheapest of advertising. It's odd because a simple facebook post can create so much excitement.

Of course there's so many blogs and vloggers cover UOR that maybe they just feel like with all the free advertising, they don't need to pimp these additions that much (since it's being done for them).
