The actual post is quite satirical. Fox News gonna Fox News.

Your post changed when I quoted it... Regardless, I'm a big kid and thought the bad looks would go away once I had a daughter, but adults still side-eye me when I'm actively playing with my DD as opposed to watch from a distance. I like going down slides too, and I don't mind if the next oldest person in line is 8.

I saw a screen shot of the original post yesterday and it said it was posted September 22nd, no idea why it's making the rounds this week. I smelled satire as well.

Twitter, haha. It was posted to FP on what looks to be a small page (perhaps personal), which makes me think it was intended to be satire. Chip and Co have the full post (I'll refrain from posting because the language). However, while it might not be serious I personally think the poster intended it to be taken seriously, though perhaps from a trolling perspective (which is miles different than satire). The sexism of the post really lead me to say it isn't satire and if the poster intended (or claims) it as satire they fell flat and simply are disrespectful.

Edit to add that WDWMagic forums picked this up in February. So it very much was found. I don't think it's viral nature is satire. The root post is real and does exist, the question is did the poster mean to be satirical I think no and at best they were trolling.

I really hope it is satirical! Chip and Co and Inside the Magic had also shared it recently, but I didn't want to link to them because of all the expletives. I hope I didn't fall for actual "fake news"

I think we’re in the same boat. I can’t even drag my kids to universal if it means missing one WDW day (they have no interest), so I only care as it pertains to healthy competition being best for the consumer.

I’ve I lived local I’d absolutely go to universal as much as Disney for Potter and their thrill rides. But my families DVC, and that’s extra tickets and transport to get there so it’s a no go as our vacations currently stand

I'm sure this will be the case for some - I run out of interest in the existing parks after about 3 days. The new park would have to be pretty "fantastic" to bring me in for a full week - but obviously this is the target.

I haven’t been to uni in 7 years (which was pre diagon alley). I thought IoA was a ton of fun, but the main park was a sore sight in a lot of ways. Mummy was about the only thing I loved in that park.

That being said, things have changed since then and hopefully they continue to add new things to their existing parks even after their new resort area opens

I’m so excited for this Park, specifically Nintendo!!! I do find it very interesting that there announcing it so close to D23 but this August is gonna be fun with all the Disney and Universal News!!!

Also the poster “ParkRumors” on Inside Universal pretty much confirmed that Fantastic Beasts will be in Fantastic Worlds. Here’s the link: http://forums.insideuniversal.net/t...pansion-news-part-2.13676/page-50#post-782640

I've never been to a Universal Park, and I don't really feel the need to, but I'm excited about the news as well. I'll probably go to the new one eventually just to see the Nintendo stuff. I love Nintendo.

I hope that this will help lower the crowds at Disney World since there will be more competition, but realistically I think it will just mean more tourists in Orlando. The new park should also be good for the workers since Disney and Universal will have to become more competitive for their labor. They may even have to do more recruitment outside of Orlando. Maybe the increased competition will get Disney to reconsider the mythical 5th Gate (or not).

Who knows what will happen, but I think it's all positive for everyone.
