That would be cool but I wonder what impact it would have on their Orlando park attendance?

And I remember when someone died on the Z-Force, so they tore it down after only a couple years in GA.

I remember being so mad that I couldn't ride the Z-Force because of that. The week after they shut it down was the time we had scheduled to go. Now that I think about it man, I was little whiny **** when I was a kid to complain about that. SMH

The escalator is still there and it's still the world's longest -- used for accessing the CNN studio tours.

An uncle worked in Omni International's North Tower with offices facing the atrium and said it was the noise from WOS&MC that killed it more than anything. There was a constant roar and screaming of children and it made working there miserable.

Universal Orlando is a movie-themed THEME park. They rarely make any movies there (unlike Universal Hollywood). Most of Universal Orlando's 6 sound stages have been converted into attractions. Just by comparison, Pinewood Atlanta has three times the production space of U-O ... and Pinewood is only half built!

I doubt Universal would build a theme park in Atlanta just because we have a thriving movie industry. That's not generally how they work. Also, we're not a year-round outdoor weather city. So forget about that.

Pretty sure Universal Studios is in Orlando because it's a huge tourism city lol.
