1853ArticleVaporman87That's an awesome trip Hoju. I know that Universal in Orlando had many of the same attractions you spoke of here, and I got to see many of them over the years. I haven't been to Universal Studios in Orlando for nearly 14 years. I'm sure much has changed since then. This year, the kids are big enough to ride some of what Universal and Islands of Adventure has to offer, so we have pre-purchased tickets for both, in addition to our usual Disney stops. We'll be leaving late in February, so I'll keep you up to speed on all the new stuff. Jan 30, 2015View
1854VideoVaporman87I'm sorry, but I look at this trailer and all I can see is Jeff Spicoli and The Continental yelling at each other. LOLAt Close RangeJan 30, 2015View
1855ArticlepikachuloverI've been to Citywalk a few times, but I've never been to the actual park. I remember my aunt rode the ET ride and got mad because he pronounced her name wrong. Universal Studios Hollywood '92Jan 30, 2015View
1857ArticleVaporman87If there is one useless thing about my memory, it is that I am almost always right about my recollections of movies, or of certain aspects of them. But not 100% of the time. LOL. For the longest time... and I mean THE LONGEST TIME... I could not, for the life of me, remember what film I had heard the saying, "The quarterback IS toast!" That aggravated me for years. YEARS! I tried attributing it to all sorts of movies, most of them naturally being sports related. But it had nothing at all to do with sports, unless you consider terrorism a sport. The phrase came from the movie "Die Hard", and it was said by a less than memorable character played by Clarence Gilyard Jr. (of Matlock and Walker, Texas Ranger fame). Probably the last movie, and the last movie character I would have ever guessed the phrase came from. LOL.Movie MisunderstandingsJan 30, 2015View
1858Articleechidna64I had a similar experience when my parents bought the movie Excalibur for me because I was into medieval times and mythology, BOY was I surprised after the first ten minutes of the movie!Movie MisunderstandingsJan 30, 2015View
1859ArticleFulton4VMy favorite ride at Universal in Florida was Back to the future. It was just cool to sit in a Deloreon and go thru the ride.Universal Studios Hollywood '92Jan 30, 2015View
1860ArticleHoju Koolander@Vaporman87 That's sweet, I have wanted to check out Islands of Adventure for years. Hope you have a great trip. @pikachulover During High School I once "danced for candy" at one of the shops in the Citywalk, it was really an awkward attempt at flirting with one of the cute sales girls. I didn't get her number, but I got the candy! @Fulton4V Yeah, BTTF was a great experience, I'm glad they put the videos on the Blu-ray release of the films. Any word on whether The Simpsons ride that replaced it is any good?Universal Studios Hollywood '92Jan 30, 2015View
1862ArticleHoju KoolanderMost people run into those types of "Modeling Schools" at malls from what I hear. It's so weird that the school sanctioned such an obvious cash-grab. Do you remember those TV ads that ran on daytime TV for the Barbizon School of Modeling way back when? They usually came on right after a commercial for Survival auto insurance with the guys playing poker, "Are you insured?" "Yes." "By Survival?" "No." "I can't take that bet." So cheesy, cracks me up.Model StudentJan 30, 2015View
1863ArticleHoju KoolanderFun topic. "Team Wolf" is pretty much the best thing ever, especially because it was your Mom's mislabeling that perpetuated the error. Makes me chuckle in a big way.Movie MisunderstandingsJan 30, 2015View
1864Articlefuschnikt@Vaporman - The moment I read that quote I was fully struggling to figure it out. I scanned my brain, and you are totally right, I went from sports movie to sports movie. The moment of the reveal it was like, "of course! Die Hard!" Seems so obvious now. I can even visualize the moment. @echidna64- That sounds about right. I have still never seen the movie, but I've seen clips and photos. I cannot even imagine what my parents thought while they previewed it. I should probably watch it sometime. Maybe I can pretend it's He-Man. @Hoju Koolander- Yup. Classic mom stuff. At least my mom. Movie MisunderstandingsJan 30, 2015View
