I wonder if the lukewarm reception to Supercharged over in Hollywood will make this news a little less exciting, unless this comes with concept art that shows it's far.. from.. that.

Very unlike Universal to announce a ride without having started construction

An announcement this early? Maybe Universal wants to kill that Star Wars buzz after all.

Well considering both Twister and Disaster are closing around HHN (Be it before or after), and that's only a couple months away, it makes sense they's be announcing something around this time as a heads up.

This week seems a drastically early to announce a new attraction for Universal...when they didn't even officially announce Kong, Diagon Alley or Transformers until the rides were halfway built. I can see a closing announcement for Diaster/Twister (to make way for new attractions) on Thursday for sure. Announcing F&F for 2017 or 18? That's too Disney-ish for Universal.

Twister's gone November 1. As far as I know, Disaster hasn't been completely decided yet.

We're like 2 years out from both of these being open and no construction started. I'm not gonna say it won't happen, but it certainly hasn't been their style. I'd think they'd wait until Kong opens.

Which makes sense considering Twister is well into the permit process and Disaster hasn't even had a single permit filed yet.

I think it'll be just closing announcements. IF they announce a full attraction it'll be Fallon (which is still not booked til 2017 but eh, Universal announced Volcano Bay so it's not like they're that gun shy), and F&F would be extremely vague, vaguer than SWL... I know Twister will most likely be before Disaster at this rate. So I'm guessing Disaster will be just after the holidays.

So, my prediction right now:

Universal Orlando Resort announces plans for 'Jimmy Fallon' attraction and 'Fast and Furious' attraction. Former attractions 'Twister' and 'Disaster' set closing dates for November 1st, 2015 and January 4th, 2016 resepectively. (goes on to give specific details on 'Fallon' attraction, opening 2017) The 'Disaster' attraction, Universal notes, will be home to a future ride based on their 'Fast and Furious' franchise, but won't give out any more specifics. (something something Supercharged in USH)

Locking it in, Regis.

Like I said, I heard both are getting closing announcements but only F&F is being announced (unless plans change which is always possible with Universal)

As it is, both attractions have been granted reprieves several times already, but supposedly this will finally be it.

With the success of F&F7, this plan makes sense. Announce both closures and drop the F&F bomb.

I'll say this. I think tomorrow is the F&F announcement with the closures of Disaster and Twister imment for the same week. But, what will they show...I think they will atleast have one piece of concept art and quotes by both Mark Woodbury and Mike West. Hollywoods F&F had concept art right when it was announced for us, and it would make sense to announce it with one piece of concept art. Now, what could it be? I'm leaning towards an aerial shot revealing the size of the area itself or just a piece of concept art much like the Hollywood announcement.

I wouldn't worry about going out of your way to watch twitter. There's no guarantee there will be an announcement today
