After all the hints and anticipation, Universal Orlando Resort is confirming that the “big announcement” today will be that Despicable Me will replace Jimmy Neutron ride and that they will be upgrading the Spider-Man ride to a digital experience.
As I mentioned in the post that I linked to, above Universal’s already began the enhancements to the Spider-Man ride. Construction on the Despicable Me ride should begin in August when the Jimmy Neutron ride officially closes with a completion date sometime next year.
Pretty much what everyone was expecting. To me, this isn’t really “big” news. I know there’s a lot of Despicable Me fans out there, but I just don’t see this as a ride that I’ll be anxiously anticipating. As for the Spider-Man upgrade, again I know everyone’s a fan of the ride, but it was never one of my favorites. Just my .02. What’s yours?
