You raise a very interesting and pertinent point about the available space at Universal. I really don't know if they have the option to expand their territory. Although they seem to be doing pretty well in building new on-site Resorts don't they ?<br />You also raise the issue of seat dimensionsAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05055130672763809016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5527909922658295790.post-67185391171416425382014-12-04T20:17:03.540-05:002014-12-04T20:17:03.540-05:00Great post Bob.

Like I said due to not having modified seating I do t k ow much about rrr however I know I could ride it ill love it.<br /><br />To my understanding universal doesnt have much space to grow as it would need to remove attractions to upgrade to new attractions. Where would you feel they could expand without removing something or what would you do to move some stuff around?

That's really fine and I'm sure it works well ( although I understand from some other posters here, that the music might need updating).<br />I just think that a coaster that pervades many areas of the park is a bad fit.
