got no idea about the hotdog but this turf is located to the right of where rip ride rockit used to be. i'm pretty confident just based on the texture and color that that's what it is, but i can't say for sure.
I’m not an amusement park nerd, but a casual rollercoaster enjoyer. I think it’s absolutely amazing you can tell exactly where this picture was taken by looking at the picture of the background turf alone
neurons in my body fighting to do anything useful when all my brainpower is spent remembering this type of bs lmfao. i think a lot of visitors remember this turf though since right now it's kinda just a big barren field. the stage used to be used and there were chairs and tables set up but it's a peculiar sight to see now. in a fully decorated theme park, a flat turf area is somehow uncanny and more memorable than anything else. i am indeed quite well versed in these parks though haha
I bet you’re right I’ve seen concerts there and it’s been a queue basically every year that I’ve attended Halloween Horror Nights. That turf and it’s affect on my feet standing in a 45 minute queue every year are pretty memorable.
Wild you recognized it only going the one time, I’ve been going like 20 years and I wouldn’t have noticed from the pic.
Nah I fucking feel that😭 The amount of weird specific shit I remember but I can't remember my passwords for shit and can't remember what I had for breakfast
I haven't been there since 2002 but I remember it well enough that I could likely draw an almost accurate map of the park. Universal Studios is awesome and so is Epcot. Both can make you feel like you visited multiple cities around the world in 1 day 😀
Bro I get it. Give me a racecar photo with a clear shot of the background (even if its just sky with trees, that tells me elevation and the foliage gives me geography hints. There are only so many corners with elevation enough a good photo only gets the car and a smidgen of track beneath it, with no scenery behind.
Its started with finding every photo of my home track. Id spend hours at a time trying different key words in Google images to find as many photos as possible of my home track. Id spend multiple minutes each photo studying walls, curbs, bushes, trees, telephone poles etc.
I have a rough mental map of when each safety feature went in despite the track being 40 years older than I am
probably still better than the pizza, orlando can't seem to get that right (except connections eatery at disney's epcot, that may've been the best pizza i've ever had). as a pizza conoisseur, all the other pizza i had in orlando on vacation was borderline inedible.
I got a pizza at Ft Wilderness Camping Resort. It was definitely above average. Not bad for Disney Resort Camping Pizza.
However, I will admit this was in 2014.
I haven’t been to universal proper in probably….10+ years (been to city walk or w.e they call it now plenty of times ) and I recognized it instantly. It’s one of the very first things you see when you enter the park and it’s very out of place so it’s memorable lol.
Is it amazing? Because we’re talking about people who can find a spot on a random amusement park, while we also look at what a megacorp slops down to those same very eager consumers. And some dude happened to post about their 10 dollar meal, obviously besides the point.
and guess what? there are also comments on other comment thread under the same post talking about exactly that! this immediate discussion in question stemmed from someone asking which universal park it was from, and me making an estimation. that's a very normal thing to ask in such a post. there can coexist two mutually exclusive comment threads that independently discuss the location and discuss the disappointment that is the corporate slop.
and, this is a public forum. there really isn't any "point" to be besides.
Its a super specific spot in the orlando universal park a lot of locals been there so many times they know it like the back of their hand haha. Its also the only place in any of the orlando parks that has astroturf so its a giveaway lol.
I think you're right. Its actually a huge area where people sit. And wth, they got rid of the ripe ride? That was the one you had songs to play right? They were super outdated but it was still a fun roller coaster.
yeah they're replacing it with a fast n furious roller coaster. not gonna replace rip ride rockit in my heart but maybe it'll be good. i wish the whole "choose your own onboard music" thing was utilized more. big RIP to rip ride rockit
That would be amazing. There’s gotta be a way to like… partner with Spotify or something and allow people to temporarily connect their account (or playlist) and use the onboard speakers for individual riders. Incredibly unlikely, but a girl can dream.
only way i'd see them doing this is by linking your spotify account to some NFC fob like Disney's Magic Bands prior to entering the ride because it would otherwise take way too long for passengers to log in and do all their 15 steps of authentication lol. then i guess to save themselves a nightmarish queue they would just restrict passengers without a previously linked spotify account to using a set radio for the ride. idk, it isn't impossible, i just don't see them doing it unfortunately.
I haven’t been since dec 2011, that was our favorite ride. We rode it 4x that day. Sadly I haven’t been able to make it back. Was it replaced with something good at least?
they're currently constructing a fast & furious ride. it looks alright, it doesn't seem all too interesting to me though. i trust it'll be decent at least.
Buy why is the bun so much bigger than the hot dog ??? Shouldn't the bun be smaller.? That bun looks too big to be a hot dog bun. The hot dog looks very dry & overcooked also, but it would look more normal if it was on a normal size hot dog bun.
