EpcotServo's Updates #2.79-Bigger, Badder, Botter

Hey everybody, it's summer! There's a park! Let's visit!

UNIVERSAL

-Transformers Passholder Preview Hour was a bit of a cluster, but they did their best to keep it together. Kudos to the event staff and ride crew for keeping calm under pressure!

-The ride is still awesome, but after getting one perfect ride in, both other rides were pretty majorly wonky. The best of which, bad block timing and sound dropping out, but then in the Lift down it rotated backwards from the screen (Forward position since the ride vehicle itself is traveling backwards for the entirety of the second floor) so basically getting to see both levels as you travel downwards, as well as the AMAZING lift mechanisms in the center. Yeah, it was really cool. I love that stuff.

-Universal rides without sound are hilarious, because you can tell how loud they are normally. It's like bobbing and rocking in a big quiet empty room.

-The crew was really superb keeping their calm even when everything went Fubar with the ride. Some bad quick saves were upsetting people, but offering rerides to everyone will do that, and that was a nice gesture but really gunks up the works.

-Men In Black is still my favorite Universal ride since Jaws closed.

-Hot. Stinky. Crowded.

-Mummy and MIB walk-ons are best. Then leave, quickly!

-I don't usually advertise, but seeing as this is the last Update for awhile most likely with the crowds descending, please check out my RedBubble designs, including a new Universe and You one for fellow Alien Attack fans! http://www.redbubble.com/people/epcotservo

-Words.

OK. that's all for words-now the pictures!

ENJOY!^^

EpcotServo's Updates #2.78- Robot Rollout

Hello yet again everybody, and let's top off an Updatetastic week with newstuffs at Universalplace! Let's watch!

UNIVERSAL


-Weather was hot and schtanky, followed by Afternoon Rain-Type Storms

-TRANSFORMERS! Is awesome. Definitely a perfect Universal ride and really good. It's pretty much just Spiderman, but with Robots so it's more interesting. Definitely not the best ride ever-It doesn't have many practical sets at all,and Star Tours still has better 3D and display (Note: Both made by ILM, so still flawless) but a solid Universal Studios addition and much better, a needed foray with giant robots and great for Transformers fans.

-STARSCREAMM YOU COWARD!

-Also note hilarious Universal Pre-Shows, wherein they threaten you with Jail for trashing the queue, that everyone will think less of you if you chicken yet, and a screaming crazy guy telling you FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T RIDE THIS RIDDDEEE! (Best)

-Simpsons Fast Food Place is pretty good, didn't eat there yet but Buzz Cola was tasty and the area nice. Not amazing, but nice.

OK, that's all for wordings-Now Picturing!

ENJOY!^^

EpcotServo's Updates #2.74-Night, Moon, Universal

Hello peoples! And welcome to Advanced Update & Updates, roll for words!

UNIVERSAL



-Weather UltraCold and windy, Crowds Very Crowded.

-Transformers coming along Transformingly

-It's Mardi Gras, so Mardi Gras stuff.

-The Cyberdyne shop increased it's amount of Doctor Who stuff, still could use more.

-Men In Black still amazing, still could use a rehab though too.

-There seemed to be a Pyro misfire during Cinematic Spectacular, and no fireworks for the rest of the whole show. Still a great show without it!

-Other things I can't remember

OK, that's about it! Onwards, to the PictureZone!

ENJOY!^^

EpcotServo's Updates #2.71-A New Day (And IOA)

Hey everyone, and welcome to the first Update of the year! Continue on, and I look forward to more updating in the year ahead. Thank you for reading and watching.  m(_ _)m

UNIVERSAL


-Crowds were Medium to "Oi, what's all these people doing here!"

-Weather was hot. Why is it hot. Stop it. Please.

-Men In Black is still great, but it is showing it's need for a RehabTime.

-They were painting the Woody Woodpecker Nuthouse Coaster (yes) and the nuthouse (...) smelled quite foul.

-E.T. Homeworld Aliens voted "Most Worthy of Extermination" by the Dalek Intergalactic Readers' Poll

-Transformers is forming (HA!)

-Coaster Track at the HSBC Banking Thrill Ride Adventure is quite visible now.

-Zoom Zoom Zoom!

-The ROTM new entrance signage is really great!

-Fun

-Suess Landing is looking quite painted.

-I wonder how many hundreds of parents take pictures of their children climbing on the big Griffon that says "DO NOT CLIMB" on it ever crop that out of the picture.

-Frozen Butterbeer still delicious

-Alot is spoken in high praise for Potterland, but the Locker Dungeons of Forbidden Journey is the worst area possibly ever designed in a Theme Park. It's frustration hellbox when one smoothly enters and exits it, let alone when it's bad.

-Forbidden Journey also felt a little laggy, more jarring than usual.

-LOUD NOISES!

-Other stuff.

OK, that's about all for that-and enjoy all of this! Pictures, that is.

ENJOY!
^^

EpcotServo's Updates #2.64-Announce and Rollout

Hey there peoples of peopledom, it's time for more Update, so GLITCH: REBOOT!

UNIVERSAL


-ANNOUNCEMENT! The announcement was pretty fantastic. Well teased in the evening by soundbites of a transmission interrupting the show announcements. It was pretty cool, and I love these one-day-only-had-to-be-there-events like this. I wish all parks would do it like this and announce to the PEOPLE of the park rather than beyond a closed off event-area. It should be for the peeps in the park as much as the media!

-I'm pretty excited for Transformers. I can understand an intense and rational apathy of aversion to the movies, but Transformers are pretty darn cool. They just are. Giant Robot Charter of 1862 says so. You should be excited for this.

-Cinematic Spectacular lasers are laseriffic and make the show even better

-Horror makeup show is a great little classic Universal gem to see every now and again.

-LoudSpinnyJumbotron, where did you go, and why is it quieter at CityWalk now?

-The walkaround Transformers will be worth your time as well.

-Wreck-It-Ralph is in theaters. GO SEE IT. You WILL enjoy. IMMENSELY.

-Crowds were light, Weather seasonably cool, Stars out at night, +/- Cloudy or bright 

-Universal, I'm happy for you, and ImmaLetYouFinish, but Firehouse Subs makes the BEST BROWNIES of ALL TIME.

-There are like SO many cranes you don't even know

-I forgot what I was talking about

-Oh yeah, Disney bought Star Wars was a thing happened

-Motorcycle was working again at Terminator since last I updated it was not. 

-Wait, what?

OK, That's about all for that. To THIS you boldly go!

ENJOY!^^

EpcotServo's Updates #2.62- Transformers Maybe?

Tuturuuuu~and welcome to yet another installation in the ongoing Update Instrumentality Project. Let's NOT cut the chit-chat and continue onwards and Updatewards!

UNIVERSAL


-There ain't not no such thing as Transformers, ain't no way, ain't no how! Go away!

-The giant show buildings and cranes can easily be described as Pelican farts reflecting a lighthouse off of swamp gas.

-After three rides I'd just like to log the actual Simulator portion of Despicable Me as the worst Simulator in Universal's lineage. (The entire show package is good, but as a standalone ridefilm I mean) The film has too straight forward a motion, and way too much Body Wars pitch forward/back motion. Having been on all of Universal's simulator types/Single shot ridefilms I'd just like to put that on record. 

-Men In Black could probably use some of that fancy ComCash(TM) to clean up the roof of the Load area, maybe the whole ride.

-I like seeing entertainment out, especially the animals they have. (But mostly the owl)

-STILL THE LOUDEST PLACE ON EARTH

-They've changed the Fireplace Teleportaion effect in Forbidden Journey, instead of shifting Inception walls as before, it's now just a green floaty light that follows you. It's smoother and a little better really.

-Frozen Butterbeer is still the best HarryPotters anything

-It's nice to see some bits of Suess Landing and Port of Entry getting a good refresh

- =  ___ =zzzzzzz

-0-0!

-Oh yeah, the weather was spectacular and the crowds weren't half bad either.

OK, that's about it!

ENJOY!^^
