Orlando United's 5 Year Anniversary Celebration

[BriMan]

The day is here, but the time hasn't come yet.

Stay tuned to this thread, as we will be making an announcement at 9pm EST tonight on what we have up our sleeve.

Speculate away!

Web-wide take-over of all other theme park websites! Numero Uno is the site that shall not be named!

[WadeWilson]

Hooray! Wish I could say I've been here that long, but I'm happy to be on-board now! Here's to 5 more

Orlando United gets a billboard in the parks?

Just over four years on here, and I still envy those who can say they were among the first 100. But here's to many more.

My predictions-- we organize a guerrilla campaign to take down Rockit; we stage an Occupy Tomorrowland until SGE is out; we declare Wednesdays a unit of measurement for legitimacy.

Happy birthday OU! Even though I've only been here for a little under 4 months, this site is the best theme park site out there!

OU store. Some kind of informational archives. New Rank Bars. Return of some kind of arcade. New game like the picture awards. Home site redesign.

[Eric]

Rep points being added up again?!

It's awesome to see what OU has become! Congrats BriMan and the rest of the staff that have made it happen!

[Manx27]

[Mad Dog]

Agreed. Best theme park site...and the most civilized discussions in themeparkdom(made that word up). Good insight, good info, good leadership and most of all, good people. Congratulations on the first five years. May there be many more.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY OU!!!!! Been a proud member of this site for around 4 years, and just realized I joined the site shortly after I entered college...pretty cool. Here's to a fantastic 5 years, I KNOW there will be many more!!!!

Happy Birthday. Only been a member since 2010, but I have enjoyed the various times I have been on here. Always great information and really helped me out at times with soft openings and knowing all the cool stuff coming to Orlando. People are always surprised at the information I know about the parks and it is thanks to this site!!!!

As the 21st member of the forum and one of the few who have been here since inception I must say I'm pleased to see this site receiving it's 5th birthday. It's odd to think of a website as a such a part of your life, but for me it really has been. I've made numerous friends from Orlando United and have had many good times on the forums and hanging out in the parks with the friends I've made. The website has had it's ups and downs, as all do, but it's amazing what the many iterations of the staff team have done for the site as a whole and how it's survived some serious pitfalls because of those teams.

It's surreal to think of what and how this site spawned and how big it is now. I don't think in 2008 any of realized that we'd be sitting here in 2013 or that this website would have the 3,500 members it does and be the leading Universal theme park discussion board. The waves we've made in web media for theme parks and even news media is almost unheard of. This is practically the website that got the Hulk repainted.

Looking back over 5 years it's crazy to really think of how much honest to god has changed. We no longer have an arcade, we had that stupid voting contest and we had that other stupid voting contest for favorite ride in chit chat that turned into a sh** storm, founding members no longer participate, there was divergence, staff left, people were douches, people made fake profiles, etc. and to think it all started with a photo update with Chicken Fingers in it.
