RED Club

The Today Show - Behind the scenes at Universal Orlando Resort

Candid photo from RED Club's first meetup in March. Approximately twenty student came to experience a presentation on RED Club's activities this year attending conferences, an introduction to theme park rides, and a proposal for a new dark ride. Attendees then were split into two groups to "blue sky" (brainstorm) possible ride ideas for a given theme (in this case, a "Hobbit" themed ride for a major theme park). Results were interesting, and will be posted soon.
