News Round Up 2019

[MickeyMinnieMom]

I posted this on the Universal side of the boards but thought I would post it here as well.

I have some new information about Universal’s new park from Alicia Stella on the Orlando Park Stop ******* Group:
-The Park will have at least 11 attractions
-Universal Classic Monsters land will have 1 major ride and 1 smaller ride/show. The major ride is a dark ride in Dracula’s castle.
-There will be at least 2 shows in the park
-There will be some small scale street style shows in Nintendo Land
-The Park will contain at least 1 Thrill, 1 medium and 1 family Coaster.
-The Dreamworks land will only contain How To Train Your Dragon at Park opening

Classic Monsters -- the first thing I've read about this that might make this appealing to me.

No details on official dates yet but, @spleuchan called the 'Future Stay' number (x8844) from their resort room today and as we'd hoped a Free Dining BounceBack has been released for certain dates between May and September of 2020. I'll post further details as they become available.

SO glad to see that the fear of FD going away once SWGE opens have been put to rest!

Do we know if there will be any live streams of the Uni press conference?

Was unfamiliar with Alicia until recently but it seems like she's really locked in with sources over there, she's been ahead on a few big stories.

They posted on twitter that there are no plans for a livestream... which seems weird to me, but...

Florida Governor Ron Desantis is on hand. Its also a rather small announcement area. I thought I expected a little bit more.

 

[SaintsManiac]

According to Twitter it's going to drop any minute now. Refreshing like mad.

I agree strange not to stream this.

OH MY GOODNESS!!!! We're going to WDW in just 17 days and now I have to make plans about a possible trip with the family for next summer. I'll be watching for more exact dates so we can figure out what might work best for us. Thank you for mentioning this!

Depends on how big the announcement really is and if there is much detail.

Just beginning. Universal CEO Tom Williams introducing people.

Disney allows streaming at D23 so that's why I found it weird. They are allowed to live tweet.

They state below they will live steam.

Comcast CEO also there.

D23 is a much larger event with a larger fan base.

Still I would’ve liked to see a stream for this.
