You kind of proved my point. That they show the clip from what it is from. I know what it is from by watching the movie. But it has run its course.

What? So no one seems to know Back to the Future, Jurassic Park, Psycho, King Kong, Jaws, Desperate Housewives, Big Fat Liar, Nope, etc? Because they show all those clips too...

Something to keep in mind as we begin to near the end of HHN, the USH Community Line has updated the area of Hollywood Knolls to add this into place:

Updating: it seems like attention is beginning to be placed around the hillside near WoTW. Construction equipment is nearing the Blair Dr. housing areas, with new fences being prepped for install.

Interesting. I’m hoping this is for what I think it might be!

I admittedly wonder if they might be caught in a unique element where one wonders on whether or not it is informed. With it being a Paramount/DW film I wonder if they give a bit of a heads up because of it being tied to essentially a third party group.

In that being for studio/utility projects I hope.

Been admittedly looking and trying to find what I can--and I wonder if what has caused things to slow down on the main area (considering the markings from last year) is that HHN secured the renting contract for the space of Psycho/WoTW last year. Operating on a similar level to where we had to wait for Gibson, in that they need to let the agreements and contracts play out for who claimed use of the space for the immediate.

From what I have understood--the permits for the grading project have been approved, and it does seem some level of grading work is already underway for the area outside of the warehouse/Psycho Sets/WoTW.

I wonder if this is essentially just a waiting game, and once we get to November/December the real work then begins.

Park projects are coming up--I might not know as much as I'd like; but nothing is going to hit Falls Lake and Supercharged in the near immediate future. I'd like to be wrong on that--especially on the cusp. But as it stands the priority for the studio is getting the lot primed for LA2028 when they'll host NBC + when they host one of the new games for the summer festival.

With things following suit from the documents from September even up to now; I would not expect that to stray off course (and that unfortunately means, War of The Worlds will be directly effected by this (and likely the Psycho House considering how far the markings went).

I'd argue it might be time to ponder some more serious questions on that, but obviously not in here.

Okay but the ride kinda sucks, the building and system are 33 years old and everything about it feels dated, it’s the slowest loading ride in the park with an incredibly clunky queue and it’s in a prime location at the very center of the park.

I guess the “all traces of Simpsons must be covered or demolished by 1/1/2028” thing was made up or exaggerated, but I still think the lands days are numbered.

Even if it’s like, 8 years from now instead of two, the only reason I can think of as to why demolition wouldn’t be on their list of priorities is if they wanted to hold the rights hostage by keeping it open as long as they can. But I don’t even think the merch is making them that much money. I see a fair amount of people with the giant donut, but that’s about it.

Also in Orlando the Simpsons banners have disappeared from the front entrance. To me thats a sign they want to phase it out as soon as they can. Plus with them wanting to get Pokemon into as many parks as they can Simpsons is looking like a prime spot at USH...
