FEAR FACTOR LIVE! is back! and it’s JUST as awesome as the TV show! Make sure you swing by and watch it before it goes away again!
Jaws, oh Jaws.. Last night was the final voyage of JAWS. the ride will literally never see sunlight again. It was such an emotional last boat tour. getting off seeing all of my favorite skippers in tears as they and we all recognize, this is it for JAWS. While the parks were open they handed out free beads to wear and sold merchandise throughout the park. The one disappointment I had was that all of the T-Shirts were sold out. Forever! If you missed the final Voyage don’t worry, I’ll post a video this week!
JAWS: Final days
Only 3 days left until one of the most amazing attractions closes forever. But wanna be apart of the memorial video? Send in a photo of you with the jaws in front of the ride to jonathan@coasternerd.com until January 1, 11:59 pm for a chance to be in the video! Email me for any questions, until then, happy new years land-lovers!
JOSH HUTCHINSON at WWOHP! quote from Universal Orlando: “Universal Orlando Resort hosted actor Josh Hutcherson today as he visited The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. During his visit, Josh tasted Butterbeer and encountered students from the Durmstrang Institute, one of three schools that compete in the Triwizard Tournament in the Harry Potter books and films. Josh plays Peeta Mellark in the highly anticipated film, “The Hunger Games,” due out in March 2012.”
Now in the Terminator gift shop in the exit of T2 3-D at Universal Studios, a huge life size sculpture of batman is on display (and for sale) in an awesome pose! now I also noticed other DC COMIC super hero merchandise!? could this be the start for the Marvel-DC switch in Islands of adventure we’ve been hearing about for years? this is one of their most famous rumors!
The “Spaceworm” that is on top of those rocks is finally getting it’s paint job and it looks pretty cool from how it looks so far! I’m really excited about this golf corse being built how about you guys? if you guys see any changes in the golf corse you can submit your photos by using the Photo Reply. Then i’ll add it to my updates on the golf corse!
Possible Water Show?
Across from Richter’s Burger Co. is a stage being built on the port area, not only that but behind Richter’s is also being put under construction? Could they be bringing back the old Water Jet-ski show they had? rumors will start building up over the next couple months.
Just a quick update on the MINI GOLF CORSE in universal’s City walk. I was guessing this building could be the bates motel, since they have different themes in the course, but hmm.. what do you think?
MISSING STATUE,
Looks like Mr. Wasserman is leaving studios, Maybe a touch-up? new statue? Hey! that could be a great spot to put a memorial for JAWS! *Not being serious*
JAWS is officially closing, no going back ): today I got two of these postcards in the mail! (the reason the other one is sideways is because my address was printed on the other side) So who will be going to JAWS the last voyage?!
MINI-GOLF CONSTRUCTION UPDATE!
Check out these cool photos! seems to be more alien themed then anything? What do you think that house is? I’m guessing it’s the Bates motel for the “Horror” themed section.
WHERE’S THE HARDROCK CAR?! Most likely getting a touch-up!
Jaws is officially closing! January 2nd at 9pm. This is a sad day for all of us! #OccupyAmity
Happy Holidays! Starting December 3rd you can watch the parade in Universal Studios and then see the Grinch at Islands of Adventure! Mr.Grinch is already prepping up!
