The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman ride layout

Post by Mr Seng in , , , , , , , | 0 comments
I love looking at ride layouts or diagrams. If you've ever wondered what the overheadride layout of the Amazing Adventures of Spiderman at Universal's Islandsof Adventure looks like this is the best one I've seen. Attached is a diagramof what is probably the layout, at least it looks like it is pretty accuratefrom what I can remember. It's a very disorienting ride. Number 50 is theunload and load stations. How does Spiderman work? The ride basically usesa six axis Stewart platform  mounted to a vehicle chassis with the added ability to rotate dueto a ring and pinion gear system. Attached are a few drawings from thepatent for this amazing amusement ride vehicle.

Vintage Park Pictures: Universal Studios Hollywood 1985

Post by Mr Seng in , , , , , | 0 comments
Time for a new series of posts titled "Vintage Theme Park Pictures." I discovered a treasure trove of pictures in some of my parents old photo albums. First up is a set of photos taken at Universal Studios Hollywood taken in 1985. The first picture is actually of the house used in Leave it to Beaver and Marcas Welby. These were all taken from the studios tram tour. I'll be bring many more of these vintage pictures to you soon so be sure to follow me on Twitter and subscribe to my YouTube for the latest updates.

Why Disney's Customer Service is Better than Universal

Post by Mr Seng in , , , , | 0 comments
On our recent vacation at Universal Orlando Resort, we waited over an hour in line for Rip Ride Rocket and they closed the ride right before we were about to get on. At that point, the park was closed and we didn't get to do anything else and had essentially wasted the last hour or two of our time in the park. There was no compensation for us or any others waiting in line. We left the park very disappointed and frustrated, along with countless other guests- not a good lasting impression for first time visitors. I understand there are mechanical problems, no big deal, especially if they are early in the day. My issue is that it was the end of the day and there was no attempt at correcting the feeling that our time and money had just been wasted- the two most important issues for me as a park guest. At Disney, they give you fast passes good at any park for x number of days. Thus their customer service will always be better in my eyes.
