In reply to Taylor Strickland. You know, I read that question several times and I STILL messed up talking about IOA. Haven't heard much on Cinematic Spectacular either, but I could definitely see one based around exciting car chases/scenes all building up to Fast and the Furious 6 this summer.

In reply to derekburgan. I was actually referring to the USF lagoon show :-)

In reply to Taylor Strickland. Haven't heard much in regards to what would actually be the theme of an IOA lagoon show, but their creative had a lot of stuff cut that was planned originally for the Lost Continent area, so maybe it will be based around concepts they always wanted to get it but never could (and also not have to pay huge royalties/fees to their licenses based around the other islands in IOA).

the nighttime spectacular for IOA sounds amazing, i think that was the only thing i was missing while at IOA, every other time i went to IOA i would just go there, hop on as many rides as possible and then leave. Now i can stay for a nighttime light show, kudos to IOA.

Great post, Derek. Thanks for all the reporting you do for our site!

Have you happened to hear anything about a new theme for the lagoon show at USF? I haven’t, but I assume that since Universal’s 100-year anniversary is about to end, they must be working on some sort of re-write.
