From Schmosby on USHForums.com: “What are your thoughts on Universal as a company that seemingly refuses to make announcements until they’re halfway through construction? (this more pertains to Florida, but USH sometimes gets this rap as well)”
From Bruce on USHForums.com: “Do you see a Universal Studios Hollywood in the future being totally based on non-Universal films?”
From Jeremy on USHForums.com: “I get that the 90s era of live studio shows is over but do you guys ever see a true return of Nickelodeon Studios to Universal. This question may pertain a little more to Orlando than Hollywood. but with the new Nickelodeon studios in California, do you think they could infiltrate the back lot or even make their way back into the park?”
From Allen on Facebook: “If you, the lovely Inside Universal editors, were in charge of the NBCUniversal Vision plan of the theme park, what would you keep the same, expand upon, change, or do differently?”
From Stingray on Twitter: Comments on Halloween Horror Nights. Speculation.
