The [CB] is trapped because they never expected Trump’s parallel economic system to be building at lightning speed. Trump is putting everything into place to transition the people from the [CB] which means we will not need the income tax. [DS] has now used one of it’s soldiers to begin the color revolution. The [DS] wants a civil war in the end and they are pushing it. Trump knows the playbook and this is why he took the path of waking the people up and building the counterinsurgency. The people must see who the true enemy is, only when the people see the enemy can we fight the enemy. Trump put all this into place for this moment. Economy https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1994238315730473327?s=20   Challenger Gray spiked +99,010, to 153,074, the highest since March. This also marks the highest monthly number for any October in 22 years.

Such an elevated reading has been seen only a few times over the last 35 years. Over the last 2 years, global central banks have cuts rates 316 times, the highest reading in at least 25 years. To put this into perspective, there were 313 cumulative cuts in 2008-2010 in response to the financial crisis. Global monetary policy is easing. Amazing How Central Bank Money-Printing Reversed around the World after the Inflation Shock  Balance sheets of the Fed, ECB, BOJ, BOE, and central banks of China, Canada, Australia, Switzerland, and India as % of GDP.  The major central banks around the world have been unwinding their balance sheets for the past few years, even the Bank of Japan, which got a late start in 2024. Their balance sheets had swollen to grotesque proportions during the global QE frenzy that started in 2008, and QE-mania during and after the pandemic. But that has been getting unwound. The Bank for International Settlements (BIS), an umbrella organization owned by its member central banks, released its latest quarterly data on central bank balance sheets today. We'll look at the decline of the balance sheets of nine major central banks: Federal Reserve, European Central Bank, Bank of Japan, People's Bank of China, Bank of England, Central Bank of India, Bank of Canada, Reserve Bank of Australia, and the Swiss National Bank. In normal times, central-bank balance sheets, including the Fed's balance sheet, grew with the economy, as measured by GDP; and the ratio of total assets as a percentage of GDP back then was low and roughly stable over the years. Years of QE then caused the ratios to explode. And years of QT have now caused the ratios to shrink dramatically.   They're all seeing the same thing: A continued threat of inflation and massive distortions and risks in asset prices, including dangerous housing bubbles that are now deflating in some markets. So they've been removing some of the fuel, to walk back from those risks.

Based on the video clip in the X post you linked, here’s the relevant excerpt from his remarks:“The next couple of years, I think we’ll substantially be cutting and maybe cutting out completely, but we’ll be cutting income tax—could be almost completely cutting it—because the money we’re taking in is going to be so large.”This aligns closely with the claim in the WatcherGuru post. Multiple news outlets have reported on the comments, confirming they are authentic and recent. For context, Trump has floated similar ideas about offsetting or replacing income taxes with tariff revenue multiple times during his campaign and presidency, though experts have questioned the feasibility due to the massive revenue gap (tariffs currently generate far less than income taxes). DOGE Geopolitical Globalist Germany's Firewall Against the AfD Collapses as Half the Country Now Open to Voting for Them For the first time since the party entered parliament about nine years ago, the anti-democratic cordon sanitaire around the right-wing, anti-globalist Alternative für Deutschland appears to have cracked wide open. According to the latest INSA/Bild poll, fewer than half of all German voters (just 49%) now say they would “never” vote AfD—down from a staggering 75% only a few years ago, This is nothing short of a historic breakthrough. Despite years of state-funded smear campaigns, constant domestic intelligence surveillance (Verfassungsschutz), court cases, job dismissals, bank account closures, repeated violence against party members by left-globalist extremists, and even serious discussions about banning the party outright, ordinary Germans are finally seeing through the propaganda and recognizing the AfD as the only serious opposition to a failing system.

As always, patience as I pull together the thread: https://twitter.com/TPASarah/status/1994015487135514931 Sarah Adams@TPASarah Lakanwal, from Khost Province, Afghanistan, was a member of two CIA-supported units that operated under the National Directorate of Security (NDS) of the former Afghan Republic. Although these units belonged to the NDS on paper, their support and direction came directly from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). He served in Unit 01, a special military-intelligence unit responsible for the central zone provinces (Kabul, Parwan, Wardak, and Logar). His agency training in 2007 took place at CIA's Eagle Base near the Deh Sabz district of Kabul province, a few miles from Hamid Karzai International Airport (HKIA). Eagle Camp, originally built on an old brick factory site, became one of the CIA's most important counterterrorism training centers in the early 2000s. It trained the CIA-backed NDS units including NDS-01, NDS-02, NDS-03, NDS-04, NDS-KPF, and NDS-KSF, and also housed an ammunition depot and multiple facilities for sensitive operations. When U.S. forces left Afghanistan in 2021, Eagle Camp was among the final sites to be evacuated and demolished. It was later handed over to the Haqqani Network's suicide bomber brigade, the Badri 313. Badri 313 moved the suicide bombers through the gate areas of HKIA for the Abbey Gate attack that killed 13 of our servicemembers and approximately 170 Afghans on August 26, 2021. After completing training at Eagle Base, Lakanwal was transferred to the team supporting CIA's Kandahar Base. The site had a long militant history: it housed Mullah Mohammad Omar from 1994–2001, Osama bin Laden from 1998–2001, and later Camp Gecko from 2002–2021, which was used by the CIA and NDS-03. It served as the headquarters of the Kandahar Strike Force, which led CIA-backed counterterrorism operations in Kandahar, Uruzgan, and Zabul provinces against the Taliban, al-Qaeda, and ISIS. Lakanwal took part in counterterrorism missions alongside U.S. forces in Kandahar. After the attack yesterday on our National Guardsmen in Washington, DC, ISIS channels were the first to praise the incident largely because Lakanwal's half-brother (the son of his father's second wife, pictured left) had been a recruiter for the Islamic State–Khorasan Province (ISKP). His brother, Muawiyah Khurasani aka Hayatullah (pictured below), previously worked with Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) in Orakzai Agency, Pakistan, before formally joining ISKP. He was killed in a targeted operation in July 2022 in Achin district, Nangarhar province. Some ISIS members claimed he was killed by Pakistan's Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD), though that remains unconfirmed. After the fall of Kabul in 2021, Lakanwal's unit the Kandahar Protection Force and the Khost Protection Force (KPF) became prime targets for both the Haqqani Network and ISKP, which sought either to blackmail or recruit former KPF members. Recruitment involved persuading them to join voluntarily; blackmail involved coercing them through threats to their families (many were left behind), exposure of past work with the U.S., or financial pressure. Both groups targeted these units specifically because of their close relationships on U.S. soil, particularly with former CIA officers. In addition, both groups, along with al-Qaeda, saw value in impersonating these units. A couple thousand fake documents and ID cards were produced so terrorists could claim affiliation with KPF/01/02 and other special units. This allowed some individuals to fraudulently move through the U.S. evacuation process by exploiting unsuspecting volunteers and taking advantage of weak vetting procedures. We have confirmed that Lakanwal's ID (pictured right) and employment were legitimate, but a full review is recommended, as terrorists have explicitly claimed using this route as a pipeline into the U.S. We cannot keep waiting for Americans to be killed again and again before we act against the Islamist terrorists who have arrived on our soil since 2021. This can no longer fall on the shoulders of a small handful of people sounding the alarm. Every American needs to be engaged: protecting their families, their communities, and our homeland. Please prepare today! https://twitter.com/sentdefender/status/1993925420329390316?s=20  action force of the AFN who fought directly alongside U.S. Special Forces against the Taliban. In addition, Fox News is reporting that Lakanwal worked with various other government entities from the United States in Afghanistan, including the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), specifically as part of the CIA-backed Kandahar Strike Force (KSF), known in most intelligence circles as NDS-03, which operated outside of U.S. and Afghan military chain-of-commands directly under the CIA, carrying out covert, clandestine, counterterrorism operations, including night raids and assassinations against the Taliban and al-Qaeda. https://twitter.com/DataRepublican/status/1993878815349854361?s=20 CIA Director John Ratcliffe confirmed that to Fox. “In the wake of the disastrous Biden withdrawal from Afghanistan, the Biden administration justified bringing the alleged shooter to the United States in September 2021 due to his prior work with the U.S. government, including CIA, as a member of a partner force in Kandahar, which ended shortly following the chaotic evacuation,” CIA Director John Ratcliffe told Fox News Digital. “The individual—and so many others—should have never been allowed to come here,” Ratcliffe continued. “Our citizens and service members deserve far better than to endure the ongoing fallout from the Biden administration's catastrophic failures.” Ratcliffe added: “God bless our brave troops.” https://twitter.com/disclosetv/status/1994201842750837067?s=20 https://twitter.com/EndWokeness/status/1993882348069552531?s=20 https://twitter.com/CannConActual/status/1993693224196604379?s=20  at a colour revolution. @ColonelTowner and@xAlphaWarriorx have done a good job documenting several. We have been overwhelmingly resistant to these efforts on our homeland through the use of NGOs funding widespread protests and subsequent riots. And as President Trump cut the head off their private sector funding apparatuses (USAID, NED, etc), they are becoming desperate. So they politicized the military, subverted the Constitutional authority of the Commander in Chief, and injected themselves in a chain of command they are NOT a part of. The desperate attempt to execute their plan. This is life or death for the Deep State. https://twitter.com/CynicalPublius/status/1993886979738460646?s=20 There are three phases to a Color Revolution. It’s important to understand this so you can see how the actions of the Sedition 6 fit into this pattern. PHASE ONE: -Form underground opposition networks. -Create strong slogans and powerful information operations as recruitment tools. -Upon a certain well-coordinated signal, well-funded, well-organized mass protests “spontaneously” appear. -The armed wing of the movement conducts carefully coordinated, precision attacks on certain government infrastructure. PHASE TWO:  -Discredit military, security, and law enforcement forces through information operations, coordination with friendly media (Jimmy Kimmel? Talkin’ to you, Komrade Kelly), strikes, civil disobedience, rioting, and sabotage. yOU ARE HER -Occupy civic facilities and refuse to leave until your demands are met. -Strengthen and grow a highly organized logistics support network. -Issue ultimatums to the government, threatening violent uprisings if demands are unmet. The goal is to either have the government acquiesce or engage in violent repression, in each case thereby delegitimizing itself. PHASE THREE:  -Overthrow the government in a “non-violent” manner that is actually quite violent. -Open attacks on authorities, seizure of government buildings, destruction of government symbols. -Coordinate media messaging. If the government attacks, media will accuse the government of attacking “peaceful protestors.” If the government makes concessions, it will appear impotent because protestors will not compromise. -Widespread delegitimization of the government is effective in the minds of the populace; the government either willingly cedes power or is violently removed. -The once underground opposition forces’ leadership now seizes control of the government.   prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels. They and their children are supported through massive payments from Patriotic American Citizens who, because of their beautiful hearts, do not want to openly complain or cause trouble in any way, shape, or form. They put up with what has happened to our Country, but it's eating them alive to do so! A migrant earning $30,000 with a green card will get roughly $50,000 in yearly benefits for their family. The real migrant population is much higher. This refugee burden is the leading cause of social dysfunction in America, something that did not exist after World War II (Failed schools, high crime, urban decay, overcrowded hospitals, housing shortages, and large deficits, etc.). As an example, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Somalia are completely taking over the once great State of Minnesota. Somalian gangs are roving the streets looking for “prey” as our wonderful people stay locked in their apartments and houses hoping against hope that they will be left alone. The seriously retarded Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz, does nothing, either through fear, incompetence, or both, while the worst “Congressman/woman” in our Country, Ilhan Omar, always wrapped in her swaddling hijab, and who probably came into the U.S.A. illegally in that you are not allowed to marry your brother, does nothing but hatefully complain about our Country, its Constitution, and how “badly” she is treated, when her place of origin is a decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation, which is essentially not even a country for lack of Government, Military, Police, schools, etc…    denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization. These goals will be pursued with the aim of achieving a major reduction in illegal and disruptive populations, including those admitted through an unauthorized and illegal Autopen approval process. Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation. Other than that, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL, except those that hate, steal, murder, and destroy everything that America stands for — You won't be here for long!

In Ukraine, as in many other countries, law enforcement and security agencies are closed systems with their own rules and mutual support. In time of war, the number of security-related and military organisations greatly increases, and the number of people in their ranks swell massively. The potential for abuse and infringement of civil rights is huge and is a risk for any country at war. On top of that are the tens of thousands of war crimes being committed by the invaders. My guest today is an expert in the law and judicial reform, who is ensuring Ukraine makes progress on these fronts, to defend individual rights and liberty even in wartime. Olena Sotnyk was a Member of the Parliament of Ukraine from 2014 to 2019, is a Human rights defender, lawyer, Advisor to the Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine, Rasmussen global Senior Representative in Ukraine Millennium Fellow at Atlantic Council. Olena is a well-known legislator and public policy maker in areas such as rule of law, judicial system reform, anticorruption, euro integration and youth policy. She has successfully represented Ukraine in the international arena and is one of the leading the voices of Ukrainians against Russian aggression.

He is also the godfather to His Serine Highness, Prince Albert II of Monaco. Max was kind enough to invite host Tom Betti into his home for a chat.He tells us about his childhood, serving in the U.S. Army under General Patton during World War II, and then beginning his storied career at Pan Am after the war. Max Gurney joined Pan American Airways in 1946 as a ticket counter agent at the Marine Terminal at La Guardia Airport, located in Flushing, New York. Because of his ability to speak four languages, he was quickly promoted to Sales Manager in Dakar, Senegal with jurisdiction over five countries in West Africa.In 1949, Max opened the Pan Am office in Milan, and was reassigned shortly after in 1950 to Beirut as Sales Manager on loan to Middle East Airlines (MEA), as part of a management contract with Pan Am. He was responsible for airline operations in six Middle East countries including Saudi Arabia.In 1951, he was appointed Assistant District Sales Manager in Rome, Italy covering six countries, and then transitioned in 1957 to Senior Representative and District Sales Manager for Southern France based in Nice where he formed a very close personal friendship with Monaco's Prince Rainier III and his wife, Princess Grace, the former American actress Grace Kelly. Their friendship grew so close that when their son Prince Albert was born, the Prince and Princess asked Max to be the child's godfather.In 1972, Max was transferred to Nassau as Managing Director for the Bahamas, including the Freeport and Rock Sound stations, until the Bahamas offices were closed in 1976. He subsequently became District Traffic and Sales Manager in Oslo, Norway until 1980, and then once again returned to Monaco as Pan Am Sales Manager. This was because of his close personal friendship with Prince Rainier and Princess Grace.He held this position until the closure of Pan Am in 1991 and assisted with the transition to Pan Am's successor in the market.--------------------Visit Us for more Pan Am History! Support the Podcast!Donate to the Museum!Visit The Hangar online store for Pan Am gear!Become a Member! Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube!The Pan Am Museum Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization. --------------------A very special thanks to Mr. Adam Aron, CEO of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc., and  Pan Am Brands for their continued and unwavering support!

We are in the 7th month of the SARS-CoV-2 Pandemic in Europe.Governments are doing what’s necessary to deal with the situation. More and more governments are initiating strong measures to control the infection rate with SARS-CoV-2. Israel has announced a second lockdown from September 18 for about three weeks.There is a lot of coverage of European measures in the local news. Also, a lot of information is published about actions taken in the United States. I rarely read anything about the situation in Asia. Is life back to normal in Asia? How is the risk assessment of the novel Corona Virus in Asian countries?That‘s why I asked a colleague who lives in Shanghai and is one of the best experts in Life Science and Asia in the world. In this webinar/podcast recording, I will talk with Irénée Robins about these topics. Born in North-Eastern France in 1971, Irénée Robin has been living in China for almost 20 years. Married with three children, genuinely bicultural, he speaks, reads, and writes Mandarin fluently.After ten years in the financial services industry with the BNP Paribas group, Irénée started his life sciences career in 2003 by joining Shanghai Cathay Biotech, where he established his first Sino-foreign joint venture with a major German specialty chemicals conglomerate,leading to the creation of Degussa Cathay Biotechnology in Jining, Shandong Province.From 2006 to 2011, he worked with the Institut Pasteur of Shanghai, an international research venture established by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Shanghai municipal government, and Institut Pasteur. Under his tenure, the institute grew from 40 to 240 researchers, with numerous drug/vaccine discovery programs against life-threatening infectious diseases such as HFMD, HCV, and malaria. His efforts were directed at increasing the institute’s financial resources, notably via expanding CSR programs with multinational corporations and successfully applying to European and international grants.In 2012, as a Senior Representative for the Biotechnology Innovation Organization (BIO), he organized the “BIO Convention in China” in Shanghai, facilitating multiple cross-border transactions between Chinese and US biotech/Medtech actors.From 2013 to early 2019, he was the Chief Marketing Officer and Head of International Business for Shanghai Newsummit Biopharma, a subsidiary of Shenzhen-listed Zhejiang Yatai Pharmaceuticals (SHE:002370). During those six years, he attracted more than 30 Western companies onto the Chinese market through a vast array of transaction types, from in-licensing to co-development, distribution, and service agreements. He also established 4 Sino-foreign joint ventures in 4 different Chinese cities, including China’s most advanced molecular pathology and next-gen cancer diagnostics lab (Shanghai German JV partner) and a first-in-class IVD development venture based on patients’ immune status markers, the use of NGS platforms, and targeted data mining/deep learning algorithms (Guangzhou – French JV partner).Speaker:Christian Soschner (https://www.linkedin.com/in/christiansoschner/)Irénée Robin (https://www.linkedin.com/in/ireneerobin/)Companies:CS Life Science Invest (https://www.cslifescienceinvest.com/)VVR Medical (https://www.linkedin.com/company/vvr-international/)Be part of our Network:

Quote by: Brian Tracy A Canadian American motivational speaker and self development author. Brian has written about 70 books on these subjects including “Eat That Frog” & “The Psychology of Selling” “Telling is not selling, only asking questions is selling” Today’s topic as you can tell is about questions. Which is the 3rd Key in Selling! Asking Sub Ordinate Questions. Now different situations during a sales call require a different style of question. For example, when you are arousing interest in the product, service or an idea you ask close ended questions. When you are doing a discovery, you ask open ended questions. Today we will discuss the art of asking the subordinate questions. What are the Subordinate Questions? A subordinate question is any question the answer to which, if positive, means the prospect has bought! If it is not positive, it does not mean he has not bought. I read this in Zig Ziglar’s book that one of his friend used subordinate question which was very effective for him, he would ask the prospect: “Well, Mr Prospect, have you sold yourself or should I tell you more?” Remember no one wants to get sold, we all want to buy! So this question is powerful. If the answer is YES I AM SOLD! Make the transaction and if the answer is WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME MORE ABOUT IT? Allows you to bring you sales game! I also want to share with a story that I found in Zig’s book. He calls this THE PRESIDENTIAL CLOSE. Zig Ziglar was suppose to speak at a conference back in the day at Greenville, South Carolina during the week of Oct 11 through Oct 15th. A sign at the back of the lobby advised travelers to avoid travelling during these days as this was the textile week and the rooms are pre books 12 to 18 months ahead of the textile conference. Chances of getting a room with in the 50 miles radius of Greenville during the textile week is pretty much impossible. Zig Ziglar being the one of the best sales person in the history, did what he was best at! He walk in to the Holiday Inn and did the whole thing where he went up to the reception, introduced and asked for the room. Do you have a reservation? Asked the lady at the reception. He said yes, long time ago. How long ago asks the reception, Zig response 3 weeks ago. Now it was clear to the reception that he does not have any reservation as they probably do not book 3 weeks in advance, and she got her senior to speak with Zig. The senior Hotel Representative was polite and said to Zig, “I might as well tell you that usually I am the good news lady, however tonight” Zig interrupted her and says before you tell me that can I ask you couple of questions? She said yes, go ahead. Question#1: Do you consider your self to be an honest lady? Senior Representative said “Of course I do Mr Ziglar” Ok now Question #2: If the President of United State were to walk the door and come up to you and say, ‘I want a room.’ Now tell me the truth would have one for him? She smile and said: “Now, Mr. Ziglar, you and I both know that if the president of the United States were to come in here, I’d have a room for him.” Zig: “Ok Ma’am, you’re an honest woman and I’m an honest man. You can take my word for it that the President of United States is not going to walk through that door. I’ll take his room!” &nb

Amidst increased tensions over the US–Mexico border, a multinational group of over 2500 scientists have endorsed an article cautioning that a hardened barrier may produce devastating ecological effects while hampering binational conservation. In the BioScience Viewpoint, a group organized by Defenders of Wildlife and others called attention to ecological disturbances that could affect hundreds of terrestrial and aquatic species, notably including the Mexican gray wolf and Sonoran pronghorn. For this episode of BioScience Talks, we were joined by Rob Peters, Senior Representative with the Southwest Regional Office of Defenders of Wildlife; Rurik List, Head of the Laboratory of Conservation Biology at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Lerma Campus; and Sergio Avila, Wildlife Biologist and a Program Manager with Sierra Club, based in Tucson, Arizona. They discussed the article, the potential effects of a border wall, and some of the other challenges of conducting science in the borderlands. Read the article. Subscribe on iTunes.

n January 2017 Canada’s oil-rich province of Alberta took the unprecedented step of instituting a carbon tax. Combined with a cap on greenhouse emissions from the Oil Sands, the bulk of the province’s economy is now party to one of the most encompassing efforts to date in North America to address global warming. Alberta’s senior diplomatic representative to the United States, Gitane De Silva, talks about the province’s climate goals and the process by which Albertan industry, environmentalists and government found common ground to get the tax passed. Gitane De Silva is Alberta’s Senior Representative to the United States. Prior to her current appointment, she served as Deputy Minister of Alberta International and Intergovernmental Relations. Before joining the Alberta Civil Service, Ms. De Silva was Consul General of Canada in Chicago.

Workers in the Boardroom: worker directors and lessons from history 10 December 2016 - 11:00 am - 13:00 pm Lecture Theatre S-1.04, King's College London, Strand, London WC2R 2LS "The people who run big businesses are supposed to be accountable to outsiders, to non-executive directors, who are supposed to ask the difficult questions, think about the long-term and defend the interests of shareholders. In practice, they are drawn from the same, narrow social and professional circles as the executive team and – as we have seen time and time again – the scrutiny they provide is just not good enough. So if I’m Prime Minister, we’re going to change that system – and we’re going to have not just consumers represented on company boards, but employees as well." These were Theresa May's words as she launched her bid for leadership of the Conservative Party on 11 July 2016. At the time her speech was thought to mark a departure from traditional Tory themes - but what is the history of the idea of the worker on the board, what might May have really meant by her words and how can trade unions and political parties respond? History & Policy’s Trade Union Forum have convened an expert panel of historians and practitioners who will discuss these questions from both historical and contemporary perspectives.

Joining the team in 2010, Brittany has had the opportunity to launch annual events, new attractions and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Brittany is currently leading efforts to open the newly-enhanced The Incredible Hulk Coaster, opening in late summer, and Universal's first water theme park, Volcano Bay, opening in 2017. You can follow Universal Orlando on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.     TIPS FOR VISITING UNIVERSAL ORLANDO Stay on property to get into the parks and hour earlier than general admission (especially if you are a Harry Potter fan) Get to the gate early as they often open the turnstiles before it would open because the opening time is usually the time they start the rides. This gives you time to get back to your favorite rides Go to Ollivander's wand shop early to not have a line and have a better chance of being selected to participate The Express Pass is a must-do for thrill-seekers, especially if you can get the unlimited Express Pass so you can ride attractions multiple times Child swap is available for parents of small children Bring a small day bag (not a large backpack) that will fit into the ride lockers The Harry Potter rides have a lot of storytelling that happens just in line so if you have a pocket that buttons, you may want to bring a phone or small camera to capture those moments, but even if you don't, just take your time to enjoy those aspects of the ride The Minions ride is very popular so even the Express Pass lane is very long but if you want, you can go in the "no motion" line and that is generally very short. It is the same ride experience except the ride vehicle doesn't move. Best times to visit: Universal Orlando's Mardi Gras (January-February) with parades and great performances Halloween Horror Nights -- for those 13+ there are scare zones, haunted houses and special after dark events It is busiest when kids are out of school but it can get busy during special events also You can purchase Express Passes in advance or on-site (but the price will go up based on availability) WHAT'S NEW AT UNIVERSAL ORLANDO New details have been released about changes to The Hulk this summer: King Kong also opens this year, see more details here.  Volcano Bay opens in 2017 and will be Universal's first waterpark, located near the Cabana Bay Resort, which they promise will "completely redefine the waterpark experience." HOTELS AT UNIVERSAL ORLANDO Loews Portofino Bay Hotel -- modeled after an Italian village Loews Royal Pacific Resort -- themed after the South Pacific Hard Rock Hotel -- looks like Hotel California from the Eagles album cover Cabana Bay Beach Resort -- beach retro hotel You get unlimited Express Pass access when you stay at Loews Portofino Bay, Loews and the Hard Rock Cafe All hotels have early access to the theme parks, dining on property and free transportation to the parks In 2016, they are opening the Loews Sapphire Falls Resort will be themed after the Caribbean with waterfalls and the largest pool on-site.
