EpcotServo's Updates #2.93- Getter RoboDragon Z

Hey everybody, It's UpdateTime again! Meaning this stuff! Read on!

KINGDOM


-Crowds Crowded and Weather hot enough for you.

-Dwarvesorama Train Ride was in a weird "Invited Cast Members Only" preview which no ride in my entire histories have done. It's usually Unannounced After Hours Testing, Park Only cast but-we'll-let-you-in-if-you-work-at-another-park-anyway Preview, and then Cast and Soft Opening. Never had nor seen any that required a special permission slip and was turning away non-kingdom Cast Members despite running with barely any people. The slowness and seeming indifference towards getting this thing open versus promoting it with the Media is something that defies most ride I've ever opened and I've opened quite a few. Blergh.

-Also Universal closed Jaws.

-Fun things are still fun though.

-Pirates Mermaids seemed to be off totally. If you think you were seeing Mermaids and/or Sea Monsters, you may have been submerged too long.

-The hub-bub construction is weeeeirrrddd

-Parade! New parade was good. Much better. Thank you. How are you?

-No further boarding MEANS No further boarding

-As a personal aside, PLEASE see GODZILLA in a theater this weekend.

-Because, GODZILLA.

-Look busy, GODZILLA IS COMING.

OK, that's about all! Enjoy the presentation on the ViewerScreen!

ENJOY!^^

EpcotServo's Updates #2.80- Space Brothers

Hey everybody, and welcome to an extra-special summer treat, Updates from KENNEDY SPACE CENTER! Which is not only the most underrated theme park in Florida, but perhaps the Non-Disney best. Lots to get too, so just skip the words and get right to the Lookings of it all!

ENJOY!^^

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 #2.72-Everything's Coming Up EPCOT

Hey there everyone! Updatetime again, now the first Updatetime of the year from EPCOT! Click on, fellow internet people.

EPCOT


-Crowds low, Weather Fine

-EPCOT at full EPCOT power.

-Soarin' Walk-On in the morning! Straight to B-1! Sets the mood of the day.

-New Test Track still freaking fantastic. Crowdflow worked exceptionally this time, straight from Design Room to Load, no crowding. Only things not working was one of the Hologram screens in the queue, 3/4ths of the Score sceens on the ride still not displaying your vehicles, and the onboard screen acting wonky as they usually do. In the postshow, all's working well. Only thing that needs to be added is the "take your picture with your design" stations, as they still don't let you choose your design.

-Seriously though, new Test Track is just fantastic.

-Mission Space. Still fun. Graphics/infinity screen looked clean and good. Force Feedback Joysticks a'Workin', buttons a'beepin!

-Maelstrom could really use some upgrades and new effects.

-Got to have linner at Teppan Edo. REALLY great. Fantastic cast, chief, and food!

-The Impressions De France digital restoration looks amazing, this has been said.

-But seriously, TWO people were taking FLASH pictures of Impressions De France. What. The. Why.

-The new bakery is open, looked crowded/popular.

-The IBM THINK exhibit in Innoventions opened, and is pretty cool. I missed the message statement film, so the content was a little fuzzy for me, but it's stated quite well and has plenty of cool EPCONTENT to enjoy. Realtalk: I spent most of my time frustratingly trying to put an icon in a basket in order to win a button. I will be back to win more buttons and learn more THINK-ey stuff.

-The Lava/Magma was missing from Universe of Energy, and the attacking Dinosaur static. Not good show.

-Whilst it was a tremendously EPCOT-spirited-day, It makes all the clearer for more original-intentioned shows in Imagination and Energy. Also I note, the general public seems to like songs again. We were a bit jaded with them in the 90's, but let's bring back the energy songs/Listen to the Land/Original songs.

-Seriously, great day.

-EPCOT.

OK, that's all for the words-now onwards to the Pictures!

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!^^
