Can't wait to see the construction go on there. That'll be a mess and half.

yeah, that area is squeezed in enough already.

I just now got my email from Universal talking about this roller coaster.

I just now got my email from Universal talking about this roller coaster.

I just read mine as well, no new information though.

 

[FGCU]

Just a quick update from today on possible locations...if anyone is there...maybe this can be added to your photo request package

Lots of survey markers are said to be showing up in the areas where the new coaster is expected to go over near the Blue Man Group area, but we’ve also been told that markings have also been spotted behind Twister and it its extended queue area which makes us wonder just how big this coaster will really be, or if these are for something else entirely.

Is Twister near herc and Xena?

 

[FGCU]

I am not sure what sound stages are what.

But BMG I think are the first set of buildings (green building on the image)

The next 3 buildings are used for HHN. I think the buildings after those - are the herc/xena ones. But a universal fanatic can clarify that for ya.

 

[Brian G.]

Give me a bit and Ill throw a quick reference pic for ya guys.

Here's the offical layout map of all the sound stages.

I made this last year for HHN to show which SS's would be used to hold houses. The ones which orange text were used.

Also Scream Scape had something from when this was first promoted

They have the loading area being in the big spot between Jimmy and Twister.

Ive heard there might be some more soundstages made for this ride. Hopefully thats true.

Do you mean for the station to be in?
I'm kind of confused now.

 

[The_Bled]

For the station and some of the ride.

 

[biomegaceu]

Oh, ok thanks for clearing that up, but how many soundstages are you going to need for the coaster?

 

[The_Bled]

It ahsent been clarified..Yet.

Great job! :rep: to you! I can't imagine this coaster being built next to BMG.

 

[The_Bled]

me neither. But im excited for it! USF needs another real coaster besides ROTM. Woody woodpecker dosen't count for its only about 35 seconds

Yes, USF does need a coaster, I just can't imagine the legs and everything going around BMG and the other attractions.

I guess it will go over buildings like this coaster at USJ.

 

[biomegaceu]

I think the coaster going over the buildings look really awsome. I think if they do it wrong though it could make it feel really overcrowded, but if they do it right it can turn out looking cool like that one.
