I know someone had mentioned that the gates have seen a huge increase at IOA and that USF needs the boost from a Harry Potter themed area in order increase its gates. This is not the case.... Thier are a number of attractions that are set to close in the next couple of years in USF, and are not being mentioned as of yet in order to help with some more future surprises that are on the horizon for the park.
Just to clarify, I said there was a huge increase in IoA and that it would make good business sense to equalize the gates -- not that Harry Potter was needed to do that, but rather that it might fill that purpose. Or at least that's what I meant to say :D: . Since I have absolutely no inside information, I defer to your knowledge.

Oh, please. Not Twilight. Can you imagine that area when Pop Warner comes to town? :eek:

The problem is that Twlight does not have enough background to create an attraction for it....

Not to mention we just don't have the cloud cover here that would be necessary to keep from making all the men working in the area have to wear glitter.

Hmmm... well I say a True Blood attraction would be far more interesting than a Twilight ride. But then again the scene where they are climbing redwood trees looked pretty interesting.

There's simply not enough shopping where they live, on the Internet, short drives away from their houses; they need to come to Florida, pay $81 per person per day and shop. Conversely, there's an Adventurer's Club in every town giving quality drinking entertainment; it's just that it's so exclusive that you don't know about it. Neither do I, but that's beside the point.

Would that be the same market research that told them the people wanted smaller portions served because, basically, they were getting more food then they deserved for what they paid? Ya gotta love marketing research.

I've been out for quite awhile, but just got an e-mail from Universal and thought I'd bring this thread back from the dead...

Is this one of the replacements for Jaws?
