If you want peace and quite just go to swiss family treehouse. Thats another dead zone in the park, except for firework viewing.

Tom Sawyer Island is also a good place for kids to run around and burn off some energy - they don't really have anything else like that in MK

Those Disney VHS notepads are incredible. What a trip down memory lane.

Also can't wait to see Cosmic Rays finished!

They keep investing in this resort. I kind of wish they had a better mix of adult things to do but I understand that’s not their target.

Yeah, can't speak for Florida, but when we went in California with our daughter at 9 she loved it, so much so that when she was 12 she wanted to go back...and she was bored out of her mind. Definitely a park for the 9 and under set.

Whoa. I like the ride in Orlando..so it makes me wonder if they'll bring what they're doing in Hollywood to Orlando. I'd be sad to see it go in Orlando if they did that

I definitely think Jurassic World will be coming to Orlando in someway or another.

*sigh* I know. I feel it too. But come on give me something NEW. Not something taken away and replaced.

A girl can hope right?

Is Jurassic Park/World really a strong enough IP to hosts its own park? I mean we have quite a few movies but its still a similar plot line. We brought back Dinos, found Dinos, neeed to Find Dinos, now they want to eat us, its time to run. I would argue that there isnt enough meat on the bone, pun intended to make a park with 6 to 10 different rides that are big enough to be a crowd pleaser. I think is more than strong enough to have its own land just maybe not strong enough for a park

More on Jurassic world in Uni Hollywood. It sounds like this is still a raft ride but will be a major rework. Makes sense with the timeline too. The T-Rex before the drop is supposed to stay.

I don’t think anyone is suggesting it will be it’s own park. Surely I think it will be part of the new park though.

Fastpasses are now available for before and after those dates though. Previously they were not.

Thought there were rumors a while ago that Jurassic Park in Orlando was getting an expansion off to the side. Wonder what ever happened with that or if those plans were shelved when they knew they were opening a third park.
