Disney's "Tomorrow Land" The Movie
According to Collider.com, the upcoming Walt Disney World Pictures film, "Tomorrowland" is moving right along with the production process. The site had interviewed Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, who said that they are turning in a script for the film to Disney.
They said that the film will be starring Dwayne ‘The Rock' Johnson, who plays, Rip, a test pilot. Scott Moore said, "His character's name is Rip and he plays a present day test pilot who tests a plane and gets shot into the future and he is sort of a fish out of water in the future. So he has to figure out how everything works and along the way the people of the future don't know who he is, so they think he is a bad guy bent on destroying the future. Rip is sort of on the run." He went on to say that their "goal of the vision of the future is that it's the best future. It's not post apocalyptic or dark and gritty - it's everything you wish you could have. Every gadget, device and car…that's what it's like in this future. So the future is really great."
When Collider.com asked them if they thought the film would be fast tracked, Jon Lucas said, "we hope so. We're going to be turning in a draft in three weeks…but don't write that down cause then we're going to get calls from the executives. It all depends on how the draft is received."

Universal Studios Orlando Rides & Attractions
If you have ever been to Orlando, then I am sure that you have been to Universal Studios....It is made up of actually 3 sections: Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure & Universal City Walk.
Both Universal & Islands of Adventure have very different rides, Universal having all the major movie rides, with Islands having all the major thrill rides..
Below is a little of just a couple rides and attractions at both Universal Studios & Islands of Adventure!!!!
Universal Studios:
Revenge of The Mummy:
An indoor Roller Coaster that will plunge you into total darkness as you face
fireballs, scarab beetles, and an army of warrior mummies. This is more than a
roller coaster, it is a psychological thrill ride. If you love roller coasters,
then you are in for a truly unique experience that you won't find anywhere else.
This thrill ride catapults guests at speeds up to 45 mph in virtual darkness,
Get ready to scream!
The Simpson's:
Hold on as you are rocketed along with the Simpson family on a hysterical, almost unimaginable adventure. They’ll experience a side of Springfield previously unexplored as they enjoy the new ride’s interpretation of thrill rides, dark rides and “live” shows that make up a new fantasy amusement park dreamed up by the show’s cantankerous Krusty the Clown.
Men In Black Alien Attack:
An interactive ride based on the hit movie. As an agent trainee you start out with some basic training, but you will soon be sent on a chase through the streets of New York that will have you zapping aliens all around you. Each seat is equipped with a laser gun and gaming system that records each agent's score. The final outcome depends on your score. You'll want to check out this ride a few times, because Man in Black Alien Attack has multiple endings, it is never the same ride twice.
Jaws The Ride:
The Classic Movie is one of Universal Studios most dramatic water rides. Riding along in your boat you see a giant fin slice through the water, and suddenly you are face to face with a three ton shark. The 32 foot shark moves through the water at realistic speeds of 20-feet-per second. Try not to scream.
Islands of Adventure:
The Amazing Spiderman:
An eye-popping, pulse-pounding, first-of-its-kind 3-D simulation Ride. Your Spidey-Senses will tingle, as you swing high above the city streets. Be prepared to see, hear and feel the action. The Amazing Adventures of Spider Man is the first ever combination of moving, motion-based ride vehicles, 3-D film and live action, join Spider Man on his most amazing 3-D adventure ever.
The Hulk Coaster:
You'll be transformed by the slingshot Gamma Ray booster as you go from 0-to-40 miles-per-hour in two seconds and launch into the Incredible Hulk Coaster. You'll feel the power of the jade giant himself when you get blasted out with the full-throttle thrust of an F-16 fighter jet. It's just the blazing start of a thunderous roll through the air at speeds of up to 60 mph. You'll be flung up to 110 feet in the air and then go plummeting toward earth on drops as far down as 105 feet. You'll go weightless on a Zero-G roll, go below water and above buildings. And when it's all over, you'll know what it's like being green.
Dueling Dragons:
Out from the ruins of a once majestic castle comes the fury of the dark ages. And you have been chosen to vanquish the beasts. Mount one of two Dueling Dragons in the world's first inverted, dual-track, near-miss roller coaster air battle. You'll soar up to 125 feet in the air and travel at speeds of 55 miles-per-hour on one of two distinct, yet simultaneously running tracks that put you unbelievably close to collision. Take up the mighty quest and challenge your bravery on Dueling Dragons.
Rip Saw Falls:
There are dastardly deeds afloat and you're placed in the thick of it all. Snidely Whiplash, the villainous scoundrel, has made off with our fair damsel Nell Fenwick. Our hero, Dudley Do-Right, is on the chase. It's an outlandish adventure on the high frontier when you join your favorite Canadian Mountie on a flume ride that takes you 15 feet below the water in a madcapped melodrama of mayhem. You'll slide, sling and slosh through scene after scene of calamity as you smash, splash and blast your way through Dudley Do-Right's Ripsaw Falls.
So if you had to choose, what would be your favorite ride or attraction at Universal Studios & Islands of Adventure..

Manta at SeaWorld Orlando Soft Opening
SeaWorld Orlando hopes that the first of its kind in Florida roller coaster
will lure more visitors than ever to the park.
Beginning Tuesday, park visitors can get a sneak peek and
ride Manta before its official opening scheduled for May 22.
The new ride will
open even as speculation continues the park could be sold soon.
Move over Shamu, SeaWorld Orlando is offering a new attraction
much larger than an orca whale.
It is called Manta, a roller coaster park officials say
will seamlessly take guests from the awe of encountering manta rays in
underwater flight into the sensation of actually being one.
First, guests get to see some of the 3,000 rays the park
has in aquariums. Next, they get to ride the coaster.
Reaching up to 60mph, Manta flies through the sky and
over a lagoon. Riders will travel face-down, horizontally, underneath the belly
of a coaster train shaped as a giant manta with a wing span of 12-feet.
SeaWorld Orlando hopes this new ride will boost attendance at the
park.
It is still not clear what the future holds for SeaWorld.
It is currently owned by Belgian-based beverage company Inbev which could be
trying to sell SeaWorld and the rest of the parks formerly owned by Busch
Entertainment Corporation.
