News Round Up 2018

It sounds like this is still a raft ride but will be a major rework.

I hope the rework doesn't forgo animatronics for more screens. The conversion from Kongfrontation to the current "Skull Island" is a big letdown. Bob Gurr's Kong was worth the price of admission by itself!

If you want peace and quite just go to swiss family treehouse. Thats another dead zone in the park, except for firework viewing.

Not really the same since it's basically a single file line. Having to deal with people trying to pass you the whole time is not exactly what I would consider relaxing.

Yeah, definitely a more specific age group, which is good - but for being aimed *just* at kids it is pretty pricey. I looked at doing it as a day trip one time and just couldn't justify the cost ... one park, online savings, still $80/adult ; $75/kids ... for a family of 5 that is a lot!

The free Lego monthly magazine has a BOGO free coupon every 2 or 3 months. When we got it the deal was get a kid in for free for each paid adult. So if anyone is interested in going go ahead and sign up for the magazine and that's an easy savings.

Not sure I could handle a lengthy flight with the interior design of this plane. Kind of overpowering to me.

Has much happened at the Tron site since they've cleared the land? The clearing was basically done by the end of February.

Yes my mistake they are only available from 5/20 to 6/10. No word on if they will come online from 6/19-6/29 as of yet. The attraction is supposed to be full capacity again 5/20.

More on Jurassic world in Uni Hollywood. It sounds like this is still a raft ride but will be a major rework. Makes sense with the timeline too. The T-Rex before the drop is supposed to stay.

Perhaps it will become the Indominus... presented by Verizon.

Tom Sawyer Island is also a good place for kids to run around and burn off some energy - they don't really have anything else like that in MK

Storybook Circus!

Jon Favreau confirmed tonight at the Solo premiere that his Star Wars series will be set 7 years after Return of the Jedi and feature new characters.

First reactions from Solo: A Star Wars Story

Spoiler: Spoiler

Mike Ryan - "The first act of Solo can be hit and miss clunky. But once Donald Glover's Lando shows up (who is legit fantastic) and the Kessel Run heist plot kicks in, its a whole lot of fun. (And those who've always wanted a Han and Chewbacca shower scene are in luck.) It does take a bit to get used to Alden as Han, but after 30 minutes or so your brain adjusts."

Kate Erbland - "It takes a bit for it to find its feet and AE (Alden) to turn on enough charm to make you forget he isn't HF (Harrison). But once it kicks into its hey lets make a crew and yes also do a heist stuff it totally flies."

So it seems a bit of a slow start but pretty good once Lando arrives.
