Universal Orlando made a couple of announcements this morning in a video they released to the public.

I'm especially excited to see what they do with the "Amazing Adventures of Spiderman". I sort of liked Jimmy Neutron's Nicktoon Blast, but the show is dated and needed to be replaced for the sake of relevance.

I was surprised only because I don't see Despicable Me as being super popular or an attraction that will still be relevant a few years from now. I saw the movie & thought it was super cute but I don't see it as having the lasting appeal of Spiderman, Harry Potter, etc.

Was just coming to post about this

I think it makes sense, since they are coming out with a Despicable Me 2, but it will be interesting to see how well it translates into an attraction.

They also talked about doing upgrades to Spiderman. I am just hoping that they don't start until AFTER our vacation to Universal in September since this is a ride that neither I or DBF have been on

I agree. I wasn't sure Despicable Me was worthy of an entire attraction. However, I didn't see a scary attraction moving into that space since Shrek 4-D was right across the street. I think they want to keep that area dedicated to animated films or totally convert it to some other theme.

Like another person said, they are making a second movie for despicable me, and hey they put in a simpsons attraction about 10 years after it was relevant! Lets not mention Jaws, Men in Black, etc....

I'm disappointed it wasn't the promised Twilight Ride

Wow, rendering all those Spiderman shots in 4K and 3D is going to be massive.

Puck, I might have to get me a RED camera so I can shoot in 4K!
