EpcotServo's Updates #2.66-Attack The Block

Hellos FolkPeoples, and welcome to the first of Three Updates this week,. the MEGA look at the little park known as LEGOLAND! Lots of pictures, so Quickly! There's No Time! Read words!

LEGOLAND, FLORIDA


-First time visiting Cypress Gardens and a Legoland for that matter!

-The park is really nice. Great guest service, clean, very pretty, acouplea good little coasters, and the excellent Cypress Gardens. The price of tickets are pretty pricey though for so many small rides and a park geared to the 3-10 set. That audience should be worth that price, but-as much as I love LEGO-I wouldn't see the price being worth it. But definitely go if you've been invited, with comps or such.

-Who doesn't love LEGO?

-It was also the opening of the Star Wars section, which was very cool.

-Great weather, no crowds, pleasant even

-THEY HAVE AUTOPIA BUT WITH BOATS

-I KNOW

-4 pretty fun little coasters

-The Cypress Gardens are REALLY pretty.

-Stuff

OK, that's about it. On to the many pictures!

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!^^

Greetings peoples. and welcome to an overdue Update with some Kingdom stuff you can click right on to.

KINGDOM





-Crowds medium to light, overcast and windy, chance of Servo 10AM-3PM

-MOYMAIDS! The Mermaids have the Pirates of the Caribbean, and they are very cool. A great series of subtle effects and an overall spookier beach scene that works much better. Really, really like it.

-MOYMAIDS! Under the Sea is still solid with a pretty spectacular queue.

-MOYMAIDS! Wreck-It-Ralph has some merch in Emporium. Please to see it Nov.2nd, it's very excellent.

-MOYMAIDS! The CGI MansionGhosts are still just terrible.

-MOYMAIDS! Peoplemover is still movin' people.

OK, that's about all. Please click on!

ENJOY!^^

EpcotServo's Updates #2.57- Solid Summer Society

Hey everyone! Time now for another Update, and even more stuff! Let's get right to the stuff.

UNIVERSAL

-Crowds were light. Yay to the end of Summer!

-I still think the pacing of the new Spiderman really takes it down a notch. Plus now in the backrow you can actually see the scoop behind or in front of you, which used to be impossible. The new timing just misses the beats that the original hit so well.

-They've also gone to Police-State measures regarding glasses at Spiderman. You can neither pick up or drop off glasses on your own, they must be handed to or from you as in olden days. NO TOUCHING! No touching.

-I noticed some water effects in Toon Lagoon operating again for the first time in awhile.

-The face capture effect in Forbidden Journey is operating again, IN COLOR.

-There is loads of construction work going on in Universal I won't have many pictures of. I'm an Update, what did you expect?

-Despicable Me was a rare 10 minute wait and decided to ride again. The second time really solidified my opinion that it's a well done ride based on something that shouldn't have a ride. It just falls flat. Neither really funny nor heartwarming. Once again, there seemed to only be tepid reaction. And the Ride Film just doesn't simulator that well. It's all either too straightline action or too much 3D movement leaving you woozy. It's not bad, but as an avid Universal Simulator Fan I don't think it's one of their best. Should have waited and built a Paranorman Dark Ride. (Go see Paranorman by the way, it's excellent!)

-Mummy Sets fire to your brain, watches it burn as it touches your face

-Men In Black Alien Attack is still awesome

-Also really enjoyed second viewing of Cinematic Spectacular. Great show! I did find the double image projection really strange on the first barge, it seems to be clearer on the second and third.

-Stuff

OK, that's about all. On to the pictures that will forever convince you, that the future...is truly in, my pants!

Enjoy! ^ ^

EpcotServo's Updates #2.53- Universaltasmic!

Heya everybody and welcome to yet another Updatearama! Let's skip the beat and click on, shall we?

UNIVERSAL 

-Crowds were amazingly, wonderfully low.

-New Spiderman is still well done, but after 3 rides I've decided I really don't like the new pacing and music. The new pacing especially, because now it feels slower and less real. It gives you too much time to be aware you are looking at screens. It isn't bad, I just don't think it really made the ride any better, if anything a step back.

-They've added a million signs and strict enforcement to keep the 3D glasses. You can tell they're a bit more protective of them, because of the Star Tours-glasses-level cost that Disney must absorb easier.

-The face capture effect in Forbidden Journey has been missing for quite a long time now.

-It was an insanely nice day.

-So, Universal's Cinematic Spectacular preview: It was really good! I loved it. Lots of great movies and the fountains and fireworks were indeed spectacular. If I had any complaints it would be they could've gone even longer and more high-concept. Instead of keeping it into short genres, make it a broad tapestry with whole segments devoted to single movies or songs. Also unlike World of Color, don't expect much interaction with the fountains. They really don't interact or blend with the action on-waterscreen. They're just kind of a separate element that drives the show. Other than that, it really is a fun show for movie fans and worth seeing this summer. It'll certainly last longer than 360 seeing as how it's basically an improved version of that show. All in all, In terms of where It'd fall in top Nighttime shows, it isn't in the caliber of World of Color, Illuminations (Though it needs the step up in technology this show offers), or Remember, but is on par with Wishes and such: The perfect and highly entertaining night show for this park. I can't wait to see it some more!

OK, that's about it. On to the picturetopia!

ENJOY! (^  ^  )
