UNIVERSAL ORLANDO GIVES DETAILS ON SKULL ISLAND CREATURES

3/24/2016

 
Greetings internet dwellers!

This morning Universal Orlando released on their blog, details about some of the creatures you will cross, on your journey through Skull Island. "When you embark this summer at Universal’s Islands of Adventure, you won’t be alone. Here you’ll come face to face with unimaginable creatures that prowl this mysterious and foreboding world."

I'm sure Skull Island will have a few other surprises, but the blog lists a few specific creatures.

Arachno-claw
These carnivorous arachnids move throughout the swampy underworld of the island’s dark caverns, foraging for dead or injured creatures. The six-legged scavenger uses its crab-like claws to crush its prey before feasting on the remains.
Picture

Carnictis
The giant, slug-like Carnictis lacks eyes or facial features. But its gaping, oozing mouth—ringed with sharp, jagged teeth—is a distinguishing feature that allows this slow but relentless creature to feed on dead and wounded beings that have succumbed to the wretched, murky chasms of the island.
Picture

Decarnocimex
One of the largest and most aggressive cave-dwelling inhabitants on the island, the Decarnocimex will attack anything smaller or weaker that dares to cross its path. These vicious insects tear apart their prey with their razor-sharp mandibles and two-bladed forearms.
Picture

Terapusmordax
These are the largest flying predators on the island, with wingspans up to 10 feet. They live in colonies within the island’s interior caverns and are easily provoked. Spearing victims with lethal talons, they use large carnivorous fangs to penetrate anything—or anyone—caught in their jaws of death.
Picture

Vastatosaurus rex
The V. Rex is the largest, most intimidating dinosaur that roams the island’s dense jungles. Despite its large, bulky head and tough leathery skin, it’s an agile predator, changing direction at high speeds and ripping into its prey with razor-sharp teeth.

A video was also released, with Mike West, detailing the creatures in person. You can view the video below. 

PHOTOPALOOZA: HULKSTRUCTION, TOOTHSOME SIGNAGE, FALLON

3/18/2016

 
Greetings internet dwellers!

Was down at Universal for St. Patrick's Day, and snapped a few pics. Toothsome has signage now and the Hulk, looks like it may be reconnected to the launch tube very soon. 

UNIVERSAL SHARES DETAILS ON SKULL ISLAND RIDE VEHICLES AND MORE

3/15/2016

 
Greetings internet dwellers!

Late last night, Universal Orlando gave details on the Skull Island ride vehicles. For starters, these things are "YUGE." The cars will be 13 feet long, and 40 feet high. They weigh in at 17 tons, and will carry up to 72 people. The ride system will also be trackless. It is also Universal's first trackless ride. 
Picture
Universal also gave information on the drivers of these things. There will be one of five different drivers, that may accompany you on your tour of Skull Island. 
  • Becky Callahan: The loose-cannon cowgirl who isn’t fazed by the dangers awaiting her on Skull Island.
  • Will Denham: The fresh-faced, adventure-seeking younger cousin of famed movie director Carl Denham.
  • Jinks Costanza: A hardened New York City ex-con who is wary of the island’s mysteries.
  • Kalana: A mystical descendent of the natives who first settled on the island.
  • Charles “Doc” Jordan: A PhD student in paleontology who took time off from his studies to explore the world.
Universal also released a video on their blog, from Mike West, detailing the ride vehicles. You can see the video below. 

TOOTHSOME CHOCOLATE FACTORY REPLACES FORMER NBA CITY

3/14/2016

 
Greetings internet dwellers!

Universal Orlando revealed this morning, what would be replacing the former NBA City building. Rumors about what the replacement would be, have been swirling for a LONG time now. I've heard everything from a Cheesecake Factory, to Willy Wonka's Chocolate factory, to a WWE Hall of Fame.

Well, I guess chocolate factory wasn't far off. Thoothsome Chocolate Factory & Savory Feast Emporium, is a chocolate factory, but one that will transport you into a 19th century inspired Steampunk one. "You’ll indulge your appetite amidst towering smoke stacks, funky gadgetry, and staff wearing unique Steampunk fashion."
Picture
The Universal blog, goes into further detail, giving a brief rundown of some of the foods you will enjoy. "The food will take your imagination to new heights with a menu that features unique twists on classic steak, seafood and pasta entrees, gourmet burgers, sandwiches, incredible salads, all-day brunch and so much more. And the desserts will be simply…stunning."

They also list some of the deserts they will offer, as well as a slideshow of what the sweets will look like. You will also be able to watch chocolate being made, and of course buy some of your own. Toothsome Chocolate Factory & Savory Feast Emporium, is expected to be open later this year.

FIRST HOUSE CODE NAME REVEALED

3/14/2016

 
Greetings internet dwellers!

Well. A bevy of new things this morning from Universal Orlando. First and foremost, for some crazy reason, Mike decided to drop the first house code name at five in the morning. I guess he was waiting at the airport and got, bored? Anyway, the code name is: COBWEB.

Last year, HHN Orlando also systematically revealed code names for the houses. Truth be told, in the past, code names were usually only found on the construction permits. Letting people know publicly what the code names are, is a pretty newer practice for HHN Orlando.

Also, these are nothing like the clues that John Murdy drops for HHN Hollywood. No running around in circles trying to figure out what it means. These are just names given to houses; and like I said, usually on the construction permits. This was done in the past to hide exactly what the houses were, from prying HHN fans who can access the permits through public record.  

Mike, also shared a "sketchup" of ground plans for the house.

That would be it for now. Scare you later, everyone. 

PHOTOPALOOZA: MARDI GRAS FUN

3/13/2016

 
Greetings internet dwellers!

Got my camera back a few days ago. By some sheer miracle, I had a Saturday off, so I decided to head down to Mardi Gras for the first time in eight years. I must say, it was very disorganized and crowded. We still had a good time, but Universal needs to do something about communicating with their staff.

I didn't care about The Fray, I came for the food and the parade. Nobody knew what time the parade started, so we staked a parade viewing spot about two-hours before. We then had an employee tell us right before the parade came rolling in, we needed to move behind a pair of trashcans. 

Which was fine, but then other people came in, and took our spot in front of us. A spot that we waited at for TWO BLOODY HOURS. And nobody told THEM to move. This is unacceptable. Traffic flow around the park, was a nightmare as well. A few employees standing around with signs, POINTING IN THE WRONG DIRECTION, didn't help matters much. 

We had a good time, but I will rethink another trip to Mardi Gras in the future. I'd hate to see how it is, when a bigger headliner is there. 

​Anyway, some pics.
