As an animatronics engineer I must say that the hatred towards projected or screen media in attractions is ridiculously overblown on here. Sometimes a story calls for something that cannot practically be represented with an animated figure
During a talk with all the Universal Creative interns I answered a dumb trivia question and Woodbury joked that he owed me a coffee. Two weeks later I get an email from his assistant saying he was serious and she set up a one-on-one coffee chat for us. Fascinating dude!!
Super Nintendo World is *officially* confirmed for Universal Orlando Resort.
Mark Woodbury, chairman and CEO of Universal Parks and Resorts, made the announcement during the
#SuperNintendoWorld
event in Hollywood. He acknowledged the news was the “worst kept secret in history.”
Here’s a video of the test rides tonight. This is the most active night of test rides yet, as dozens of members are riding. I asked one person “how was it?” and his response was one word — “beautiful.”
This has been one of the coolest things I’ve ever experienced at Walt Disney
Skillful integration of media with physical sets and figures can make an attraction a complete, beautiful story. Also I’m amused by the folks who seem to think it’s “cheap” lmao I assure you it is not like going to Best Buy & buying a TV. Where do you think the media comes from?
Oh and one more thing: never judge an attraction without actually experiencing the queue + ride in-person. A YouTube video can never do the detail and atmosphere justice
@BillBadi
Thanks Bill! Moved to North Carolina for my wife’s medical residency, but still in the industry working remote for a 3rd party animatronic design firm!
When I was like 11 years old my family did this thing where you pay to have lunch with an Imagineer. 13 years later I got hired at Imagineering and we were on the same project, he had the same shirt and everything
JUST ANNOUNCED: Five immersive worlds. One amazing theme park. Universal Epic Universe opens 2025 at Universal Orlando Resort.

🚨🚨 I’m being told there is a TWELVE MILE “MEDIA FREE ZONE” around Lahaina, Maui where the “wildfires” struck
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON??
I’m flying in TOMORROW.
I’ll let them put me in JAIL before I’ll obey an unconstitutional “MEDIA FREE ZONE”
Don’t believe me? Try me.
Since I’ve started working in this industry and going to the parks often I’ve started this hobby where if I see some rando livestreaming in the park I’ll try to find them on my phone and screenshot myself in the background

even IF wearing a mask reduced infections and deaths by only like 5% it would STILL be worth it considering wearing a mask is a MINOR INCONVENIENCE to SAVE LIVES. you’re not a free thinker straying from the sheeple, you’re selfish and fragile. GOD gonna watch Shrek 2 to calm down
If you retweet people who say they won the lottery and that they want to give it away to retweeters then you probably still hold your pencil with a fist
love when this industry escapes into mainstream discourse and misinformation is thrown around by people who have never taken part in the design and construction of an attraction in any capacity. Sorry folks pretty Epcot wallpapers don’t count as experience
Just had a great meeting with
@realdonaldtrump
@potus
besides what he’s done so far with criminal reform, the platinum plan is going to give the community real ownership. He listened to what we had to say today and assured he will and can get it done. 🤙🏾
People defending the Mario movie because it’s “just a dumb fun movie” seem to forget that the Lego movie was based on plastic bricks and those mfs who made it were COOKIN
i participated in night testing on this ride and they sent me around 23 times in a row I probably have a blood clot from sitting there for so long lmao
CAN WE GET MUCH HIGHER 🗣🗣🗣
it’s officially been a decade since kanye dropped his classic album ‘my beautiful dark twisted fantasy’ 😭 favorite track ten years later?
Y’all say the economy is crashing but the only place you’ll find SUCCESS before WORK is in the DICTIONARY. I pulled myself up and paid off my house all by myself. 198,000 bells from fishing my ass off and selling peaches 😤
when you finally get your friends’ logins for netflix, hulu, amazon prime, disney+, kanopy, hbo, shudder, criterion channel, and cinemax then proceed to watch nothing due to the overwhelming variety of choices
It was such an honor to help bring this absolute beast to life. Everyone poured their hearts into it over just a year and it’s probably the most advanced animatronic dinosaur ever built. Can’t wait for the world to see it!
I will be leaving the great Walter Reed Medical Center today at 6:30 P.M. Feeling really good! Don’t be afraid of Covid. Don’t let it dominate your life. We have developed, under the Trump Administration, some really great drugs & knowledge. I feel better than I did 20 years ago!
Jurassic World: The Exhibition is an Epic 45 min walkthrough experience in Dallas, Texas. There's a feeding chamber where you watch Indominus Rex eats! A Raptor paddock, baby dinosaurs & Incredible T-Rex finale. A must visit if you are in the area. Admission is $36. 🦖🦕
Love this verbiage from DragtKings. “Good evening, agent. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to bet 30% of your monthly income on a +500 7-leg parlay on game 7 of the Celtics-Heat series.”
when you think about it can you imagine spending a decent amount of money on hats, t shirt, flags, bumper stickers, etc. related to ANY politician? and then constantly displaying and wearing all their merchandise? creepy af
tesla’s manufacturing engineers reading that “all parts” must be “sub 10 micron accuracy” have a dope choice: either make this truck cost $1.2 million or, more likely, to just ignore this decree and live in the real world
NEW: Disney shared a new look at the Anna, Elsa, and Kristoff Audio-Animatronics figures that will be featured in Frozen Ever After when World of Frozen at Hong Kong Disneyland opens on Nov. 20.
💛 We are sad to share the news of the passing of Stephen Hillenburg, the creator of SpongeBob SquarePants. Today, we are observing a moment of silence to honor his life and work. 💛
@GoAwayGreen
I despise RT for how much it encourages a binary good/bad reaction. A movie that 50% of critics adored and 50% of critics hated is probably much more interesting than a crowdpleaser where 90% of critics said “yeah it’s decent I guess.”
What this advertising boycott is going to do is, it is going to kill the company,” Elon Musk said about Twitter/X. “And the whole world will know that those advertisers killed the company”
I am all for people sharing their thoughts and critiques and some good ol fashioned armchair imagineering is always fun but the smugness combined with a total lack of knowledge of how deeply complicated these attractions actually are is crazy (not directed at Jenny Nicholson btw)
BREAKING: Rep. George Santos was arrested on federal criminal charges including wire fraud, money laundering and lying to Congress, the U.S. attorney's office says. The New York Republican became infamous for fabricating key parts of his life story.
man it’s such a crazy coincidence how conservative pundits who insist they aren’t racist just happen to always oppose legislative reform that would help nonwhite people in any way. I mean what are the odds???
“I do” at VU? Walk down the aisle at one of 3 venues on campus: Benton Chapel, Alumni Hall, and the Student Life Center. Since 2014, Vanderbilt has hosted 30-50 weddings annually celebrating the unions of alumni, faculty, staff and graduate students.
hot take: the James Bond series has become about as boring/tired as it gets and it desperately needs a character shakeup like this to survive so yay Lashana
