> ― Bill & Ted's mantra

>

**William "Bill" S. Preston Esq.** and **Ted "Theodore" Logan** better known as **Bill and Ted** are the protagonists of sci-fi comedy *Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure* (1989) and its following franchise. They frequently appeared in the live-show *Bill & Ted's Excellent Halloween Adventure* at Halloween Horror Nights.

## History

### Background

#### Eviction Notice

On the June 10th of 2003, Bill and Ted signed a contract with a landlord to live at 69 Montoya Road in Orlando, Florida. Due to being late on rent, phone bills and loud, they were sent a notice of eviction on August 11th, 2004 to leave unless they could pay 53,300 dollars by October 1st. When the landlord went to kick them out, they tried escaping in their phone-booth only for the phone-company to cut off its power rendering it unable to be used.

#### Terra Cruentus

In some year (presumably 2005), Bill and Ted were invited (commanded) by the Black Guard to the nightmarish realm of *Terra Cruentus* where they performed in a "*Ye Olde" South Hollow Amphitheatre* within the South Hollow. This was done as part of a tradition the realm had to have fools and jesters perform to entertain the people of Terra Cruentus.

#### Carnival of Carnage

In 2007, the villainous Jack the Clown and his *Carnival of Carnage* visited Bill & Ted's home of San Dimas, California. By the time the Carnival of Carnage arrived in Orlando, Jack and the Carnival were in possession of a *Wyld Stallyns* guitar-pick which may have implied that Jack had recruited them to be a part of his carnival.

### Development history

The first Bill & Ted show at Halloween Horror Nights was "Bill & Ted's Excellent Halloween Adventure" at the second Halloween Horror Nights in 1992. In 2013, Hollywood pulled their version of the show after Vice wrote an article on how the show contained racism and homophobia. The final Bill & Ted's show was *Bill & Ted's Excellent Halloween Adventure* at Halloween Horror Nights 27 in 2017.

## Appearances

2 Tha Joint

I was not impressed with this place. Given, we went in the middle of the day, but the servers had a very obvious attitude that said they really didn't want to be here. That and the sushi was very bland. There's apparently a couple locations. We went to the one on Plumb Lane, but may give it or another location another chance some day.

## History

During the early planning phases of Universal Studios Singapore, park officials wanted to have a *Sesame Street* attraction. However, this plan was sidelined in favour of attractions with more marketing power.
In late 2009 and early 2010 when full details of Universal Studios Singapore were released, the park planned to have an attraction entitled *Stage 28*. It was set to be a walkthrough located in the New York zone of the park that showcased some of Universal Studios' feature films and props. At the opening of Universal Studios Singapore on 18 March 2010, Stage 28 did not open. For several months, the official website indicated the attraction would be opening soon. These plans were later abandoned.

On 17 May 2012, Universal Studios Singapore began a small teaser campaign that included two short videos about their next addition. On 24 May 2012, Universal Studios Singapore officially announced that they would be partnering with Sesame Street. As part of the partnership, the park would host Sesame Street live shows from 28 May 2012 and would open a dark ride by the end of 2012. Existing food, beverage and merchandise outlets such as The Brown Derby were also rethemed. On 6 October 2012, Universal Studios Singapore unveiled the marquee of its latest attraction, *Sesame Street Spaghetti Space Chase*. The ride soft opened to annual pass holders in the middle of February 2013. The ride finally opened to visitors on 1 March 2013.

Eelmouth

**Eelmouth‏‎** was a recurring *Halloween Horror Nights* character.

#### Origins

Eelmouth was an inhabitant of the horrific fantasy land of *Terra Cruentus*. He carried a skull staff, had pale eyes, and half of his face had some kind of deformity/disfigurement causing the gums and teeth on the inside of his mouth to be visible (possibly lending to the name "Eelmouth". In Terra Cruentus, Eelmouth serviced as the interpreter and advisor to the *Terra Queen*, doing all of her speaking while the Queen was silent.

Every fifteen years is the "Season of the Queen" in which human blood sacrifice is needed to be given to the *Gorewood Tree* from which the Terra Queen's throne is carved. Humans deemed "Pure of Heart" are sacrificed to the Terra Throne using a dagger known as *The Terra Blade* for this ritual. Eelmouth has a significant role in overseeing these sacrifices for the queen.

#### Tales of Terror

At some point (possibly the year 2005), the Terra Queen sought after new sacrifices while the Storyteller told the events like a story while in the normal world.

#### Later incidents

In the year 2006, Eelmouth and the Terra Ladies appeared for the celebration of Halloween Horror Nights' "Sweet Sixteen". This may have been due to the influence of the Lord of Darkness connected to said celebration.

In 2008, a creature resembling Eelmouth appeared within the mirror realm of the ghost Bloody Mary, in a part of her domain depicting twisted fairy-tales. It is unknown if this had any connection to the actual Eelmouth.

#### Death

Sixteen years after the Tales of Terror incident, the Terra Queen oversaw a new attack on our world to gain new sacrifices. Within Terra Cruentus' Gorewood Forest, she sought out new sacrifices and even killed Eelmouth before hanging up his corpse to be drained of blood.

## Appearances

##### Scary Tales: Once Upon a Nightmare

Eelmouth also appeared in the *Hansel & Gretel* section of *Scary Tales: Once Upon a Nightmare* at *Halloween Horror Nights: Reflections of Fear*, within Bloody Mary's mirror realm. It is possible this was not Eelmouth himself, but rather a Mirror manifestation of him/resembling him.

#### Halloween Horror Nights: Ripped from the Silver Screen

Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure

**Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure** is a river rapids ride in The Lost World at *Universal Studios Singapore*. It's very similar to the *Jurassic Park River Adventure* at *Universal's Islands of Adventure*, only this one has the round river rapids rafts and has a completely different story line.

## History

Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure is based on the concept of Jurassic Park: The Ride at Universal Studios Hollywood, which is itself based on the film adaptation of the popular novel. Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure is a Hafema river rapids ride whereas Jurassic Park: The Ride is a flume ride. The attraction first opened at Universal Studios Singapore on March 18, 2010. The attraction was temporary closed to the public for enhancement works from 10 August 2011 to 20 January 2012. The ride has since reopened and includes enhancements such as a pair of "dry pods" for guests to dry off after getting soaked.

## Ride

### Pre-show

Riders start at a building similar to that seen in Jurassic Park River Adventure, with a map of the other attractions in the Lost World section of the park. Riders then board 9-person circular rafts on a conveyor belt. Videos of the places they will be visiting are made, with announcements of possible flash floods in the Outpost B area and the Dinosaur Hatcheries.

### Ride

The raft first passes *Stegosaurus* Springs, where a *Stegosaurus* and her young are grazing on the shore, and then it passes Parasaur Cove, where a visible *Parasaurolophus* and a hidden *Parasaurolophus* that pops out of the water are seen shooting water at the riders. Riders are supposed to proceed to Outpost B but due to flooding, they are redirected back to the unload area. However, the flood has wrecked the Outpost, and riders glimpse a submerged lookout tower and an upturned raft. Then, park rangers announce that the raptor containment unit is breached and that the riders should remain calm. The raft is then diverted through broken electrified fencing into a restricted area, where a sign announces that there are dangerous carnivores lurking about, and the riders' raft passes through deeper sections of the area as several of the escaped *Velociraptor*s hiss at the vehicle. Before the raft enters the Hydroelectric Plant, the roar of a *Tyrannosaurus rex* is heard in the distance and a wrecked Jurassic Park jeep is seen. Farther into the station, lights dim as a Tyrannosaurus watches the riders through a small window and lets out its iconic spine-chilling roar. As the track becomes totally dark, a beacon in the center of the raft begins to blink. Dinosaur proximity alarms begin to sound, warning of a Class-4 danger ahead. As the raft is shunted into the elevator, radio transmissions from the park rangers can be heard, with frantic calls of help. Then, the raft ascends and stops. The *Tyrannosaurus* pokes its head through the ceiling and snaps at the riders. The raft then falls down a slope from a height of 40 feet and hits the water, drenching the riders. Two *Dilophosaurus* shoot water at the raft (targeted at the riders who got the least drenching) as it returns to the unloading station.

Mizuki Sushi

## Mizuki

This was another stop when I was in Sacramento getting my braces tightened all the time. Wasn't as good as Taka's (now Ju Hachi), but still pretty dang good, and a bit trendier. I wish I could find their sparkling sake anywhere else, because it's great. My palate is scared of real sake but this stuff was tasty! And I felt fancy drinking it out of the fancy glass.

Evelyn O'Connell

**Evelyn O'Connell** (née **Carnahan**)is one of the main-characters of the 1990s-2000s *Mummy* franchise.

## History

### Background

*Following the history of the characters in Universal Parks continuity, which has overlap with the film cannon while not being the same.*

#### Origins

Evelyn Carnahan was an English librarian working in the *Cairo Museum of Antiquities* during the 1920s. Evelyn had a cunning and money-hungry brother named Jonathan Carnahan. Evelyn went on an adventure with Rick O'Connell who she then married and had a child named Alex with.

Evelyn wrote two books (possibly inspired by her adventures) titled *The Mummy* and *The Mummy Returns* which also featured a character named Scarlett O'Keefe who may have been based on Evelyn. Evelyn during this point in her life lived at 1033 Ardeth Bey Lane in Oxfordshire, where she appeared to be affiliated with the Medjai which protect the world from the mummy Imhotep (who was likely involved in the O'Connell's adventures).

After the December of 1933 Evelyn's books caused her to be contacted via letter by American filmmaker/showman Carl Denham requesting that she send him a, "Kong sized pile of treasure" and other, "mummy stuff" for him to put on display in New York City. Evelyn wrote back to acquiesce his request causing Carl to send another letter back, angry and with comments about her mother causing Evelyn to cut off contact. Denham was however successful in getting artifacts from Evelyn's brother Jonathan.

#### Later history

Evelyn was portrayed in a series of Mummy movies in the 1990s-2000s, presumably by actress Rachel Weisz.

## Appearances

### Revenge of the Mummy

Some footage of Evelyn from the Mummy movies plays in the queue. Also in the queue, she is mentioned on a list of shots for her character needed.

#### Sahara Traders

There are letters which can be found, sent between Evelyn and Carl Denham from the King King films. There are also a pair of books titled, "The Mummy" and, "The Mummy Returns" written by Evelyn which can be found amongst the props.

## Trivia

* Evelyn's letters in Sahara Traders have the logo of the Medjai and has an address from Ardeth Bey Lane in Oxfordshire, referencing the character Artheth Bey.

Super Silly Fun Land

**Super Silly Fun Land** is an elaborate play zone adjacent to Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem, at *Universal Studios Hollywood*, that replaced Coke Soak and The Land Before Time Adventure.

Its a colorfully themed, interactive Minion-inspired outdoor venue is a literal interpretation of the seaside carnival from Illumination’s “Despicable Me,” designed to entertain guests of all ages with its more than 80 different water-play features. A nearby dry zone invites guests to climb, jump and slide, while the Minion-themed ride, “Silly Swirly,” will soar and spin guests around for a 360-degree view of “Super Silly Fun Land” aboard a fleet of uniquely styled ride vehicles.

A highlight of Super Silly Fun Land is the memorable “Super Silly Space Killer” arcade game, where Agnes “won” her lovable stuffed unicorn (“It’s so Fluffy!”). Visiting guests have a chance to try and beat the odds as they vie to win Minion game prizes and their own stuffed unicorn.

And after guests experienced Super Silly Fun Land, they can get their hands on fun Minion merchandise at Super Silly Stuff.

Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit

The beginning lift hill and drop

Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit is a rollercoaster located in the Production Central area of Universal Studios Florida. The coaster officially debuted on August 19, 2009. The ride consists of on-ride music LED lighting.

## History

In January 2008, Universal Parks & Resorts filed a Notice of Commencement showing that they were to construct a ride system that had the code-name "Project Rumble." The new ride was officially announced by Universal Studios on March 19, 2008. Although the layout was not revealed, the original press release stated that the roller coaster will reach a height of 167 feet, and that the coaster will have a top speed of 65 mph.

In April 2009, the park confirmed that the roller coaster would not open as originally planned and said it would open in the summer of that year. Though the park has never mentioned what the problem with the roller coaster was, it is believed that issues with the anti-rollback devices on the lift hill that were not working correctly.

On August 19, 2009, Universal Studios Florida officially opened the new roller coaster. However, it continued to experience technical issues early on after opening as its features worked sporadically or not at all.

## Trivia

* The rider experiences 4.18 g-forces, which is higher than the average an astronaut gets on lift-off, which is 3 g-forces.
* This coaster is 17 stories tall, making it the tallest coaster in the park and Orlando in general.
* It doesn’t go upside down, even though it feels like it on the non-inverting loop.
* This ride features the world’s first ever non-inverting loop
Snoopy's Great Race

**Snoopy's Great Race** (Japanese: スヌーピーの グレート・レース, *Sunūpī no Gurēto Rēsu*) was a steel roller coaster in *Snoopy Studios* at Universal Studios Japan. The ride originally opened with the theme park on March 31, 2001. It was the park's first roller coaster and the only one during the park's opening.

The ride was presented by the Nippon Life Insurance Company.

## Ride

The coaster consists of a single train with eight cars, each with different wood-like colors and the face of a Peanuts character. The track is dark blue, and the supports are light blue.

## Closure

The ride closed with the rest of the park on February 28, 2020, due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. When Universal Studios Japan reopened on June 8, the ride remained standing but not operating, and on March 17, 2021, the listing for the attraction was removed from the park's website entirely without a formal announcement.

Monitor/Display Input

While there are a couple of different monitor types in use by EAE, there are a couple universal things to check before declaring your monitor "broken."

1. Does your monitor have power? Check to make sure both ends of the power cable are securely connected.
2. Is your monitor plugged into the graphics card? Your monitor probably won't work correctly if it is plugged into the motherboard. The graphics card has 3 display port and 1 HDMI output slots on the back of the computer - use one of those instead of the outputs located next to all of the USB and Ethernet slots located on the motherboard.
3. Is your monitor on the correct input? There are buttons located along the bottom or side of every monitor. One of them (usually the one next to the power button) will open a menu where you can access display input. Check to make sure the cables are securely connected and then make sure the display input matches where the cable is plugged into the monitor.

Further Troubleshooting:

1. Try moving the display cable to a different input on the monitor and make sure the input selection matches.
2. Move the cable to a different output on the graphics card.
3. Try a different display cable.
4. Turn the monitor off and on again.

If your monitor refuses to display even after trying everything above, notify a faculty or staff member and they will assist.

Kenny Green

Kenny handles industry and alumni relations for EAE. What does that mean? A couple things. One of his primary functions is to help EAE keep track of our alumni and make sure that our ever-expanding family of EAErs stays connected. He also maintains relationships with game studios around the world, whether through our alumni or just connections that have developed over time. Within that function, he gathers information on what game studios are looking for in new hires and informs the faculty what the industry needs out of our students. The spin-off of that is the assistance he provides our students with resumes, portfolios, cover letters, and interview practice. He also brings in a few studios every year to meet with and interview our students for any current or future openings. If you want help getting ready to apply to a job, hit him up and he'll give you feedback to help you start off with your best foot forward.

Pho 777

We try Pho everywhere we go, trying to taste some as good as this place. So far, only 123 Pho has come even close to this place.

It's always busy, but you will always get a seat fast anyway, and your food too. They're the model of efficiency in every aspect of your visit, while still putting out amazing food.

Golden King

You meet two kinds of people: people that say avoid Golden King and insist everyone else does too, and people who say Golden King is the best, and crave it constantly. I am of the latter. This place has a very special place in my heart.

It has the expected overly large Chinese restaurant menu, with typos and strange items. The building is old, and you can tell it's a little lived in. But hear me out: this place has some gold on the menu. I have NEVER had a better pot sticker in my life, and I try them everywhere I go. The owner remembers everyone and what they order (even when I didn't show up for several years when I moved - she asked if I still didn't like green onions), and her whole family is very nice. Their food fluctuates a little in quality sometimes, but I'm still finding new amazing things on the menu.

Lakeshore Resort

You may have had a drink similar to a Tree Smacker before, but this is the real deal original. And it has that name for a reason. Designate a driver, people.

They have a fairly unsurprising menu, but they do it all pretty well. Good food, better view. Sitting outside by the lake or inside the bar surrounded by windows with the same view is one of our favorite things to do in the summer when there's not 10+ feet of snow on the ground.

## Food

Burger & FriesWings (breaded with just a bit of salt - my favorite)Fish & Chips
Mount Huff Golf Course Bar & Grill

If you're thinking, "mmm, golf course food is delicious, expensive, but worth it, and high quality", don't eat here. I'd put it barely above gas station food. Though, service was excellent. I could tell they really wanted to be good, but it's that curse of the small town. The people telling you your cooking is amazing probably haven't tried anything more exotic than what you're serving. True, it felt down-home, but I wish they'd step it up a bit. I feel bad saying bad things about any local place, but it was pretty upsetting.
123 Pho

We went here once, and will probably never return (because it's so far away), but this is as close as we've gotten to being as good as our favorite Pho place: Pho 777. The building was very new (or remodeled recently, we didn't ask), and they had it set up in a cool way. You ordered from a "grab and go" style counter, and took a number with you to your table. They then delivered it over, and you could order beer from the bar, and hang out casually. We sat at the bar, where the service was great.

American Valley Baking

American Valley Baking is inside Quincy Natural Foods, and they stock a good portion of the store with deli items, breads, daily hot specials, sweets, and more. I've never had anything bad by them. Everything is extra tasty and full of love. My favorites are the homemade breads (sometimes featuring capers, cheese, and more!), the burritos (even the vegetarian one is really good), the Greek dolmas, and the spinach dip (hella garlicky). Their sandwiches are good as well. Everything is premade, but I believe you can do special orders too. It's great for a quick grab-and-go meal.

Our Bar

We have a very hard time not stopping at Our Bar every time we're in Reno. We haven't had a bad experience here yet, and when you look around, we can't help but think "if I owned a restaurant, I'd want it to be just like this." You can see the passion in their work, and taste it in their food.

They have everything from ramen to tacos, and almost everything we've eaten has been not only great, but mind-blowingly great.

Nickelodeon Blast Zone

**Nickelodeon Blast Zone** was a play area located at *Universal Studios Hollywood*, that's themed on Nickelodeon's classic TV shows like *SpongeBob SquarePants*, *Rugrats* and *The Wild Thornberrys*. The play area soars into action bringing Nick's critically acclaimed and wildly popular animated children's television programs to life in an innovative and immersive 30,000 square-foot family adventure. Highlights include the "Nickelodeon Splash!" water play area, "The Wild Thornberrys Adventure Temple", a rough-n-tumble ball play arena and the "Nick Jr. Backyard" for kids under the age of six.

The play area then permanently closed on January 7, 2008 and has been replaced by *The Adventures of Curious George*.

MGS Lab

Do we need a page like this? I was thinking we'd put a bunch of stuff here about what we have available in the lab as well as some general stuff about how the lab is run. I'm not sure what kinds of questions they might have that we couldn't answer in other sections though.

On second thought, this might be the area where we should encourage them to make their own pages to create solutions around software and stuff they encounter during rapid prototyping and projects.
