    Universal to close Wild West Stunt Show

    September 1 is indeed the date of the final performance, and the "discontinued" characters walk the parks for the last time on September 5.

    Say Good-bye to some of your favorite characters

    The reason given was that the characters supposedly weren't "popular" enough... which is strange given the long lines daily for pics and autographs. There were no plans announced regarding replacing the West show, but rather the venue will be used for special events and meetings.

    Say Good-bye to some of your favorite characters

    Yes, it is sad, especially for the actors portraying these characters who were blind-sided with the news today. While I'm not sure any type of letter campaign to either UO or Guest Services would do any good, I suppose it couldn't hurt, either. Also of note: As of September 1, the Wild...

    Say Good-bye to some of your favorite characters

    Effective September 5, the following street atmosphere characters will be "discontinued" from the parks (which, in turn, means several performers are out of a job): IOA - Boris & Natasha Dr. Doom Green Goblin USF - Barney & Betty Rubble Doc Brown Men in Black agents More news to...

    Has anyone been to Cocoa Village?

    Just wondering if it's as nice as thier website leads you to believe. I'm thinking of recommending it as a side trip for my parents. Thanks!

    Super Hero Parade & transportation

    More often than not, if it's raining then the characters will go into the Toon Ampitheatre, which is generally NOT advertised, although someone goes out to try to get folks to come in. This also depends on whether the ampitheatre is empty (i.e., if the X-Treme show or Bill & Ted's is not set...

    Motown Lunch Buffett?

    sure, the food is ok (burgers, wings, BBQ, etc.) and the atmosphere - if you're a motown fan - is fabulous. Interestingly, the lower level has been converted to an arcade.

    Autographs???

    Universal also sells their own autograph books - one has Woody on the cover, and one is a IOA passport book of sorts.

    What's the best route to take from Orlando Int. to UO?

    There's a new exit off of 528 now that also gets you there and avoids I-4 alltogether. It's Exit 2, which is Universal Blvd/Orangewood Blvd. Take a right off the exit and it dumps you off behind the Convention Center and whisks you down Univeral Blvd just beyond Pointe Orlando. Cross Sand Lake...

    Disappointed about May park hours - does anyone know if they might change?

    if you go at night, make sure you see Beetlejuice's Graveyard Revue... the lighting, smoke, and pyro looks so much cooler at night... and let's face it... so do monsters! :) Storm Force is better at night, too. You can actually see the lightning effects. In fact, MSHI overall is better at...

    Not-to-be-Missed Queue's

    In my opinion (ironically enough), the Dr Doom queue line is much better than the ride itself! :)

    I don't know if I can do this, but...

    why do people announce websites that have more "COMING SOON" pages than anything else? Finish the site, man... THEN announce it. Sheesh.

    Any secret/hidden places to find characters?

    The map also does not usually list the Toon Trolley in USF with Popeye, Olive Oyl, and the Flintstones and Rubbles, nor Lucy & Ricky. Not sure why, because they're out there every day. :)
