(As opposed to “most active game” or “highest engagement” stats marketing usually trots out)

Doesn’t this kinda shift the goalposts around? Now they can say they have the “bestselling” game when new COD comes out, since some of those platforms aren’t being subsidized by a subscription?

I mean, look at the Jurassic Park franchise…

UOR likes to build 2-ish hours of queue lines standard for big rides. Never know when you’ll have record crowds, or if multiple breakdowns happen, etc.

I could say the same about the outdoor queue at Gringotts, which got very little use over the years but was needed at opening more often.

I wonder if they could reuse some of this space for another ride back there…

New postcards for the collection. Can’t cut me off from eBay that easy.

Earth's shadow is the deep blue rising behind Chronos at twilight. Last ambient light of the sunset is also rising above.

Ever Grain for lunch (Camp Hill, PA)

Fair. I only ate here once with a “Lunch with the General Manager” thing when I was a TM.

Smart... I feel like Lombards gets talked about much less than other UOR restaurants. Any more traffic could only be good.

A new pop-up bar has been set up at Lombard’s dockside patio: Bar 41 on the Pier.

The bar offers great seating around the Universal lagoon, with cocktails, beer, and small apps. #UniversalOrlando

I wonder how possible it would be to add more land out here? Considering that the monorail wouldn’t have to be diverted much and they could still preserve some “coastlines” for DisneySea.

That “Aquatopia Expansion concept” from OLC last year makes me think they will extend land out from the other side of the park boundary fence/perimeter road, which would cover up some of the sight lines that look out into the water.

Cool stuff!

The Hershey Story has a nice special exhibit on Bill Dearden, former CEO. hersheystory.org/current-spec...

Visited the Hershey Story museum for the first time in a bit.

Haven’t even entered the park yet and Epic has already surpassed my expectations.

Web sites on a desktop shouldn’t look like a mobile phone app.

Although it's a train bridge, it would look similar to the launch on Maxx Force at SFGAm. I expect it to be more wooden (wooden poles, themed with seagulls) and have more barriers for safety, but this is the concept.

Crude mockup of a ramp, bridge, and another ramp down over the end of the launch track for Project Purple, to connect with Golden Kingdom.

Seeing Coliwood's latest video on Six Flags Great Adventure's Project Purple made me rethink a walkway under the stall, which would be a long path.

Maybe a bridge over the launch track (themed to an ocean pier) would be a better concept, making this less of a cul-de-sac and adding another feature.

Some new additions to my amusement park/theme park postcard collection.

Should've been Parklife with updated Disney Adult lyrics, but hey.
