Seems like they keep going back to the drawing board. But that’s just my interpretation.Sounds like Zelda is fairly solid for LC.....,but the timetable has been slow

The land should be fairly easy though, just interactive experiences based on the puzzles from the game. I'm not sure why the ride is giving them trouble though, all the leaked designs seemed pretty good.Seems like they keep going back to the drawing board. But that’s just my interpretation.
Do we think that they’re having trouble with the theme, or with the ride itself?Seems like they keep going back to the drawing board. But that’s just my interpretation.
I wouldn't be surprised if the boat ride aspect is the problem here. The park already has three water rides and doesn't need another, but Zelda needs to have a family thrill ride. It's a more teenage and adult focused franchise.Do we think that they’re having trouble with the theme, or with the ride itself?
It makes sense, because Shrek's swamp (which will be in USF's DreamWorks Land) and Far Far Away are far away from each other in the film franchise. A Far Far Away land could also work as one of the potential expansions for Epic Universe as an alternative.Two park shrek doesn't work as well as three park potter. . .
Do you think it’s more for how to design the land, or what types of rides they want to include? I can understand design is difficult for Zelda tbh.Seems like they keep going back to the drawing board. But that’s just my interpretation.
Pretty remarkable that Sinbad closed in 2018, half a decade ago, and a replacement realistically won't happen until a full decade later in 2028 at the earliest.Sounds like Zelda is fairly solid for LC.....,but the timetable has been slow
Zelda boat ride won't get you wet like the others, it's just the means of propulsion/theming. I'd imagine a Zelda ride to be more akin to Pirates of the Caribbean than JPRA. IOA desperately needs an indoor experience available to all (or most) ages.I wouldn't be surprised if the boat ride aspect is the problem here.

Definitely, I don't like that LC is essentially sitting abandoned, but it's understandable. If it weren't for Epic, we'd probably have HTTYD land taking over LC by now lolThe building of a land IS simple and straightforward, it's the greenlighting of funding when there are so many projects in the works at once that is the holdup. When you are spending billions building the second park in ten years and have a third on the drawing boards it comes down to spreading out expenses and evaluating economic forces and reception of your current projects before commit to spend more. You don't want to have a Euro Disney situation where you never recoup investment on a new park and are then spending hundreds of millions on other projects all at the same time. They may want to wait and see what Epic does before greenlighting too much more in Orlando or in any of their parks. We all assume Epic will be a big hit and print money, but things can change beyond their control and it could be the next Universal Escape.
Like I said, Zelda is the wrong IP to do that with. It's a series all about excitement and thrilling battles. The ride needs to have a thrill element or it's not a proper representation of the IP.Zelda boat ride won't get you wet like the others, it's just the means of propulsion/theming.

Don't need a thrilling ride system to provide a thrilling experience for an attraction. Rise of the Resistance is rather tame, but doesn't feel like it at all due to all the action around you. You can easily pull that off, like jarmor mentioned, with a boat ride system.Like I said, Zelda is the wrong IP to do that with. It's a series all about excitement and thrilling battles.

Rise of the Resistance would be far more thrilling than a boat ride. There's jarring movements and a drop tower element. Unless they do something like what Bellewarde did with their rapids ride, I can't see that happening.Don't need a thrilling ride system to provide a thrilling experience for an attraction.

Mario Kart surprisingly works, but it does have a simulated thrill element at the end.You’re talking about the company that looked at Mario Kart and said to themselves “Men in Black with Augmented Reality.”
At least Donkey Kong makes sense which is the actual ride I’ve been waiting for my whole life. Plus I’ll save final judgement on Mario for when I actually ride it myself.

If I may ask, back to the drawing board for what to replace TLC with, or back to the drawing board on what exactly Zelda land should entail?Seems like they keep going back to the drawing board. But that’s just my interpretation.
Why would you manifest such a depressing question .If I may ask, back to the drawing board for what to replace TLC with, or back to the drawing board on what exactly Zelda land should entail?
