It’s amazing how your favorite store becomes your not so favorite in about 2 minutes. We stopped off at “Fudge” to pick up some desert when my son was forced to to pay $0.15 for “a” yellow M&M he tasted. I hope Dawn has vested stock with this candy store. It didn’t bother me he had to pay for it, what bothered me was her attitude for 1 single M&M. Needless to say, we dropped everything we were going to by, but at least she gain .15 cents but lost a long time customer.

You certainly understand how to bring an issue to light and make it important. A lot more people need to check this out and understand this side of the story. I can’t believe you are not more popular given that you definitely have the gift.

Comment on Universal Studios Orlando Jaws ride to close Jan. 2nd 2012 by Michael http://orlandoinside.com/universal-studios-orlando-jaws-ride-to-close-jan-2nd-2012/comment-page-1/#comment-3904 Fri, 05 Apr 2013 17:30:12 +0000 http://orlandoinside.com/?p=3478#comment-3904 The Earthquake is now DISASTER (with Heston being replaced by Christopher Walken). It is probably the same as Earthquake in that the crowd participates to make a REAL movie clip. Same goes for Jimmy Neutron replacing HANNAH BARBARA…..it is pretty much the same ride with different graphics/animations. I suspect that Despicable Me will be the same now that it has replaced Jimmy Neutron. Again, same goes for The Simpsons (which WAS the Back to the Future ride). Same ride pretty much with different graphics/animations.

I never got to ride the King Kong but after viewing other folk’s footage, THE MUMMY kicks King Kong’s butt. As for, Back to the Future or Hannah Barbara, I don’t think I missed much as they are so much like the “face-lift” they got. I also saw footage of the Wild Wild West show over by where Swamp Thing once sat and where MIB is now. FEAR FACTOR replaced it and I believe that was a good move because the Wild Wild West Stunt show was not nearly as good as the Six Flags Western Stunt Show. Another good move was in Replacing Ghost Busters with TWISTER because Ghost Busters is too much like TERMINATOR 2 and I wouldn’t mind seeing and actual ride or decent performance replace T2. Except for these few changes, they have not made many good changes over the years (including the plans that they possibly had in adding to the Jurassic Park with a vehicle jungle tour (as was the case in the actual movie). Instead, they ran with Harry Potter and I truly believe this bad decision will come back and “bite” them one of these days. Getting rid of the JAWS ride and the charming little town and restaurants WILL BE a BIG mistake….I guarantee it.

I’m glad they are keeping the Beatlejuice show but, as mentioned above, I and most US/IOA Orlando fans are deeply sorrowed that the JAWs ride is no more. It was not the greatest of a rides (unless you are a kid and/or had never been on it) but it was still a ride that MOST everyone simply HAD to ride each and every time they went to Universal (if for any other reason…old time sake). Yes, the executives are really messing up Universal Studios in Florida as many are like my family and simply not impressed at all with the Harry Potter ride that they spent MILLIONS on. It simply isn’t that good a ride and for them to have truly goofed up one of the best rides in the world (the Dueling Dragons) and charge far more than they once did (to make up for the cost of Harry Potter) they have left their BEST customers to seek vacation fun elsewhere. We had gone for five years in a row but refused to go after the many changes….and for the record, Harry Potter really does suck…we waited and waited and waited to ride a ride that was not any better than Spiderman or Jimmy Neutron. What’s worse, they’re putting in more of the same to replace JAWS. I truly believe Universal Studios will be hurting badly after the “NEW” wears off of Harry Potter. Sadly, I doubt my family will EVER go back now that they changed so much that was VERY charming, including the unicorn ride, with the eye-soar monstrosity and lengthy construction for an “out of place Harry Potter” that will overwhelm the landscape just as the Harry Potter Castle which houses a not-so- good a ride.

They could have destroyed MIB or Disaster for all I care but they should have never replaced Jaws. I would have (at the very least) had it turned into a restaurant/museum with living dolphins for Dinner and a show….with a peaceful boat ride to show off the fantastic memorabilia. Simply put….so sad and so very stupid. Any one of use could run that joint better than the crew they have now.

By the by, does anyone know if they are (at least) planning to keep the JAWS display for those who have photos of their children growing taller and taller each year with the large shark? I had hoped to have several years of photos with that shark…all the way up till we were blessed enough to start over with grandkids one day. I suppose that is why we have photoshop though (IF) they do remove JAWs. HA! You gotta laugh to keep from crying.traditional photos?

Comment on SeaWorld Orlando Turtle Trek exhibit now open! by Fidelis Azogu http://orlandoinside.com/seaworld-orlando-turtle-trek-exhibit-now-open/comment-page-1/#comment-1788 Fri, 07 Sep 2012 13:44:41 +0000 http://orlandoinside.com/?p=3804#comment-1788 It was very painful that I learnt of sea world lately at Orlando airport sea world shop after rounding up my orlando tour plan. The figurines I saw in the shop left a vivid ecstasic impression that inspired me to procure some turtle figurines and picture frames. As I was not done with seaworld I searched further for sea world in the web.

When I launched into the seaworld web, I then painfully fathomed what I missed out in my vacation plan when I headed straight to Disney Orlando without making enquiries. Well it is not too late, I will be back next year from Nigeria.

It is even more painful that I can not order more figurines of sting rays, dolphins and jelly fish because sea world is apparently not yet into online shopping for me to make my oders.
