Italian Job 2005

https://attractionsmagazine.com/universal-orlando-to-make-major-announcement-august-1-new-theme-park/ In just about a week maybe we'll find out what all that land is they're buying?

Not sure if anyone else remembers, but around 2008-2011(?) I think there was an online store: kimarketplace.com. I was quite young at the time and had asked my parents for a hooded sweatshirt from that website. They said they tried to order it, but when they checked out they got no confirmation email, never got a delivery, and the credit card was never charged. It was like a ghost site for a while.

I wonder where the paw prints start? The old paw prints started at the Eiffel Tower right?

I would love if the parade has its own unique soundtrack, but the fact that he specifically said Kings Island makes me think it might be for a new fireworks/fountain show, since Kings Island is the only park to do nightly fireworks.

This is so cool! Love to see that this kind of festival is coming to Kings Island, especially after all the effort put into International Street. It seems like perfect timing. I know this is very doubtful, but I wonder if the "electrifying musical score" is original, or if it'll just be some bollywood hits and top 10 charts like some of the previous years' fireworks shows have been. I think an original score would be cool, and worth the investment for Cedar Fair if they're putting this parade at multiple parks. Regardless, I'm especially excited to see how they use the new lighting package on International Street for this show! I'll echo the others and say I'm also curious about parade routes. Anyone remember what path the Nickelodeon parade took?

Dang. This seems really soon to be taking this out. When working at the park, I can’t tell you how many people asked for that buffet place, only for me to tell them it’s been replaced with Reds. Guests are still getting use to it being RHoFG and now they’re changing it again. Correct me if I’m wrong, wasn’t this opened in 2014 to replace Rivertown Junction?

How will both train engines be running this year? There’s not a second station in operation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm wondering if the cars will be electric since they said they're going to be new cars. That would negate any need for oil lubricants or gas, making operation cleaner and safer. But it would also get rid of the churning of the engine noise we always hear with CP's and Holiday World's antiques.

Is The Beast still open? I heard it was shut down for a while.

^^ It’s honestly sad a lot of times because people only “hear” ride ops when they’re finally yelling or being stern with guests. But most don’t notice that this is not them being rude, it’s just them not being heard by the dis-obeying guests the first 3 times so they have to raise their voice. I wish they didn’t, but like you’ve observed, guests really can be completely oblivious sometimes. The ride ops do a lot to keep people safe and sometimes that means being stern with the guests.

Did guest services at least know that the show was not happening or did they too think the fireworks were still on for the night?

Facebook reviews are disabled. They're reacting fast it seems.

Oh, 100% agree with the "disappointment" feeling. Especially since graphics have gotten so good. Was especially turned off by this Mystic Timbers advert: Especially since I had already ridden the ride before I saw it. But then I saw it, and was like "sooo it actually doesn't have working headlights, fog, OR working shed doors, all of which would make the ride 10x more immersive."

Does anyone else miss "Seeing Stars" by Peter Tong? I forgot I had it on my iPhone still from the first time I Shazamed it at Cirque Imagine in 2014. It was a great curtain call song in my opinion.
