Could be pretty cool, athough this might also be a one-up on Disney with this being done and open before Avatar.
That does sound cool! Personally I will miss Twister. Aside from the dated video footage (and Bill Paxton's monotone delivery) I thought the actual attraction was fun.

I usually don't venture off Disney property - but on my last trip I went to Universal for Diagon Alley. Diagon Alley was awesome... but honestly - the rest of Universal felt like a time capsule. Dated, dated, dated. Twister was super lame. The cow? haha! And the video of Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt. Def time for that "ride" to go.

Did you ride Disaster while there? You should have... it is a pretty cool special effects show, plus, it's also soon to be on its way out... Universal won't be dated in a few years...

I did - I got chosen as the person to sit in the ball pit and scream. lol. I dunno - I guess Universal just was lacking for me. But to each their own.

That's how I feel about Disney now. I'm "Meet n Greeted" out. Nothing new but simple dark rides with no imagination....cute but no "wow" factor. But like you said to each their own.

Any more guesses on possible replacements??
As a side note, I will miss the store. I really did like the merchandise. We purchased my daughter the cutest "Keep Calm and Click Your Heels" shirt with sparkly ruby Dorothy shoes on the front. And, cow themed merchandise ... why not? Lol.

Rumor is a Soarin style ride featuring Jimmy Fallon and Tina Fey, taking place in NYC... Or some sort of attraction dealing with Jimmy Fallon and The Tonight Show... The facade is rumored to be designed after 30 Rock (the building not TV show LOL)... with a NBC store serving as a gift shop...
I wouldn't consider this a major addition, more like a side project to replace an old attraction...

I'm not too excited with this possible replacement and I like Jimmy Fallon, but not so much Tina Fey. It doesn't do anything for me at this point.

Honestly, I'm not too excited either... I am excited for what's coming to Universal over all though... I'm not a fan of Fallon, don't find anything funny about it... And I'm not find of Tina Fey either... Of course, Tina Fey may not even be in the attraction... She is just a rumor... Maybe wild fan speculation...

It doesn't sound very exciting at this point, but right now, Universal has a pretty solid track record of adding new rides and updating attractions so I will give them the benefit of the doubt.
Even though it's not planned to be a "major attraction," I love that they keep building and adding and not taking 5 years to do so! I really cannot wait to return.

Soar high above Jimmy Fallon as he breaks constantly and laughs at his own jokes.

With the exception of the new Potter attraction.....Universal/Islands is nothing more than a "better" six flags. The 2 Potter rides are nice..but the rest....meh.
Universal will always be second fiddle to Disney. Its just not in the same league. Never was..never will be. We have went 4 times, with the last about 6 months ago.
Yes, its an ok place.....but to be honest, Kings Island in Ohio is better. Cedar Point also.
Just my opinion.
Yes, If no one has been..they should go. But for us. Nothing beats WDW/DLR for a complete satisfaction family vacation.
Will we ever go back to Universal? Yeah probably...4-5 years. But, nothing pressing. WDW always leaves us with that...."see you soon" feeling. We WILL be back...we love it. Universal...no soul.

Very lacking to us.

Can't understand the comparison of a whole resort to a park, yet that's just what you did. Single parks font compare to the theming, hotels, restaurants, nightclubs and parks at Universal Orlando. Those who come for the day and leave with their Disney glasses on just don't seem to get it.
Love Disney but to put down UOR just doesn't make sense from anyone who appreciates "theme" - not amusement parks.

I'll compare Disneyland..Which is a park. 100 times beyond Universal. In every way.
Id also say that DLR is a much better destination than Universal. For all the reasons...I already mentioned. If I had to choose only one Disney park....to go for the rest of my life....Yeah, It would be Disneyland....And that is coming from an Epcot Center M.K. ....NERD. Man I love both of those places....
