As one of the admins from USH Forums, I have to say that this is a well-thought-out decision that will finally give Universal's Parks and Resorts the mega-fansite that it's always deserved against the myraid of Disney sites. Jon Fu, Jonathan Green and all of the cohorts at IU have delivered such a great amount of coverage in such a wonderful, polished sheen (not without a fair share of humor, of course) that despite growing in popularity since Potter West started going vertical, still felt underseen. Meanwhile, Orlando United has been building a wonderful, large community that salutes all Orlando theme parks, but mostly Universal.
This is essentially the combination of peanut butter and chocolate that I can't imagine you guys won't absolutely love. For those who consider this forum one of their favorite places, do not fret. Aside from a large-added subforum and some arranged things, you most likely won't see a difference. There will be an added amount of members, but the more, the merrier! With the additional coverage on the main site and the carry-over, you'll see a prominence of articles and a general sweep of all things Universal. With Nintendo, Volcano Bay, F&F, USH Lower Lot expansion, Aventura, Park 3, Bejing and more, this is a fantastic time to be a fan and the perfect time for this merger.
This is a terrific decision and I hope you guys are excited as I am!
