At Ripsaw we generally only shut down for white. Technically we even operate in the case of orange without white.

Unless there is lightning our ride is not much affected by rain and wind, that said, if rain gets too much we do close.

Well this is interesting. An 11 month refurb? They’ve been parsing out new documents for weeks.

That seems like too much thought into lore just so it’ll open as always in 2 months. I get it, but I would be disappointed. I do think we’re getting a remodel of the store itself.

I think we're getting an HHN version of the Tribute Theater and each room will just transition to various IPs featured at the event

I do appreciate the playfulness though, it's very reminiscent of the old HHN websites

Just watched

The Stranger Things bit was a bit janky, but otherwise I agree with a lot of this

Although I have a few changes, or amendments, I would make

Not sure where else to put this, but Dora/Diego and Scooby-Doo have been removed from the copyright page on the Universal Orlando website.

Isn't Scooby Doo property of WB? Same as Evil Dead, which was rumored to just have been cancelled for HHN last minute?

The new WB CEO is making a mark - but good or bad?

When you have all of Dreamworks and Illumination you don't need Scooby Doo, Spongebob, Dora, or whatever else Universal used to license when all it had was JP and F&F

Scooby & Dora had little-to-no merch presence (four plushes for the former and nothing for the latter), so that's understandable.
Spongebob, though, absolutely sells better than most of those properties except for DM/Minions.

I think the Studios is secretly getting a rebrand right now, marking the Minions expansion as the beginning. I have some of my own thoughts of what could happen years from now.

New York: Easily the best area to expand the park, since some of the soundstages are next to it that could be used for future attractions like the Secret Life of Pets. However they would have to find some new house locations for others during HHN.

Behind Hogwarts Express: Universal’s office building will be relocated soon at Epic Universe, making more room for park expansions like a new theme area or even more Potter. This could be a good opportunity to do a better themed hotel than Disney’s Stars Wars hotel at Hollywood Studios.

World Expo: Men In Black stays cause of Spielberg like ET at Kidzone, but Fear Factor has yet to be replace by the Potter expansion.

Springfield: Hard to tell what will be replace once the contract expires at the end of the decade. As much I’d love to see the Back to the Future ride as a grand return, but it’s not marketable in today’s era, since the franchise ended with dignity and decency years ago. They could tear everything down for an immersive Pokémon theme area.
