modified version the old Wild West show

Park News - (8/21/09) We’ve heard one minor rumor claiming that Universal may be looking into a cost evaluation to see what it would take to bring back a modified version of the old Wild West show. Apparently they are just looking at all the options, so nothing to get excited or upset about yet…
(8/18/09) Fear Factor Live has closed down once again, this time to make way for the new Bill & Ted show for Halloween Horror Nights. However, we’ve heard that Fear Factor is likely gone for good this time around. So far the rumored replacement shows sound too crazy to be true, but it got me thinking… why haven’t NBC/Universal attempted to take advantage of the popular Heroes TV show yet? A small live action show based on Heroes could be quite popular and fun in the old Wild West Arena.
(8/11/09) While nothing has been said by Universal one way or the other, I’ve heard several stories and rumors about the various problems and complications taking place with the Hollywood Rockit. At this point in time, I’m not going to explain everything that I’ve heard, especially since there is no way of knowing what is true and what isn’t, but when I take a look at the big picture from it all, I’ve got to think that we may not see the Rockit fully open until Halloween Horror Nights at this point. In the meantime, enjoy some new pictures of the Rockit posted to Orlando Rocks.
(8/8/09) It was quickly pointed out that there is no Transformers project in the works for Universal Orlando, due to the fact that Transformers will re-use the basic Spiderman ride system so there no point. It seems Michael Bay was simply visiting the park to learn and check out the amazing Spiderman ride system first hand to get a better idea of how it will be used to create the Transformer rides for USS and USH. So in short... “No Transformers For You!” (and somewhere... a fanboy begins to cry tears of sadness...)
(8/7/09) While it’s hard to verify this kind of rumor, we’ve heard it said that Michael Bay, the director of the Transformers films, had a meeting with the Orlando Universal Creative staff the other day. While they could be talking about a Transformers project, Bay has also been a producer for the remakes of Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Friday The 13th and an upcoming Nightmare of Elm Street project out in 2010. Still… I just can’t see Universal Orlando sitting still without some kind of Transformers ride of their own while Singapore and Hollywood versions are already confirmed.
