    Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit

    I am OK with not all parks being the same, but I do think all parks need some kind of balance so that people want to visit all the parks. So one outdoor coaster for thrill and one for kids seems like a good thing. Now I do think whatever they add there shouldn't be as high of a height...

    Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit

    It isn't that I don't like an indoor coaster, I am saying a park is better with both because they are different experiences. There is a huge difference between Mummy and VC. They are totally different experiences which is a GOOD thing. I am looking for variety so I think it is good thing to...

    Disney's Hollywood Studios (General Discussion)

    On the flip side, when they do this they can perfect them and they become reliable systems and less downtime. How often does a boat or omnimover go down during a week? When you need capacity it might be better to build something that is reliable on a known tech vs becoming inventive and...

    Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge (Disney's Hollywood Studios)

    I would think that they wouldn't want to compete for night time show offerings. I don't know any park that does night time in two different places. Even when MK offered a night time parade you could stand in the same place. Universal Mardi Gras the parade goes by the concert venue. I don't...

    Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge (Disney's Hollywood Studios)

    Any park with a show of any sort makes the other areas dead. MK is the same during fireworks and parades. We skip fireworks to ride rides or we will just catch it wherever we are. I have seen those fireworks at interesting angles because we will come out of a ride, watch, get back on more...

    Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge (Disney's Hollywood Studios)

    I agree they don't need to. Locals are well aware that Disney gives the least to its AP holders compared to the other two parks. It is well known SW gives the most and Disney the least. It doesn't stop people from getting any of them. I didn't not get Universal and keep Sea World because SW...

    Tiana's Bayou Adventure (Opening Summer 2024)

    Honestly not having a villain in a ride is fine for me. Honestly seeing things thru my kids eyes, they don't really care for the villain parts of the rides. So I feel more kids will like this ride better without one and as an adult I am just going to be fascinated with all the scenes and AAs...

    DreamWorks Land coming to USF (2024)

    Your pictures are way better too. When looking at the other I couldn't see half the items fully at the angles they took pictures! Good job!

    Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge (Disney's Hollywood Studios)

    WDW has always attracted the locals. I am not sure why people think locals do not go. But since I have lived here I always knew of locals including myself that went to the various parks including Disney. It never seemed to me that one park won more than the other park when it came to locals...

    Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit

    I disagree. I think each park needs a thrill coaster outside and a family one outside. There is a difference between inside and outside. The inside ones at Uni don't fully feel like coasters. They stop and have scenes and stuff.

    Future of Toon Lagoon

    They have bigger fish to fry? I mean it has decent rides, an OK theme, and so why change it right now? They need to tackle the aging ride systems and LC being completely shut down right now. And it has always been that way, bigger fish to fry.

    Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit

    Agreed, you don't re-theme an area to then 2 years later close down one of the rides. Also, they are trying to balance the park better and that is a good kid ride that appeals to others. My kids actually like it better than the new one.

    Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit

    DHS had a ton of shows, so it wasn't like all capacity was on those 3. Was the GMR and Toy Story ever down at the same time though? USF does need more capacity. When you go during peak times the waits are pretty insane across the park. Losing 2 rides would not be the best, but I will say...

    Epic Universe ‘Homework’ Thread

    2.5 was the most logical place to put any theme park land for HTTYD. It gives them the most options.

    Universal Orlando Resort Misc Refurbs

    Oh man my son loves that ride and my daughter only has so long before she is too tall for it. They always ask to ride it.

    Halloween Horror Nights 33 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

    100% off topic, but couldn't find a different thread for general questions. Is there a chicken out option? Like if we get to the front of the line and someone doesn't want to go in, is there somewhere they can go to get to the exit where we would come out? I am asking for my daughter. She...

    DreamWorks Land coming to USF (2024)

    Agreed, it looks like fresh concrete has just been poured where those spinning things need to go along with that front section behind the gong being a mess. They are not on finishing details on this part at all and who knows what it looks like on the inside. I think they will either delay this...

    Universal Great Britain

    There are parks in the US only closed 2.5 months and mainly because of snow and freezing temps and they have similar weather conditions during the year except brutal heat in the summer. With no snow and no freezing, year round sounds about right. Florida rains ALL the time. But it is mostly...

    Kennywood Park

    The last two times we didn't ride steel curtain and it was still a great trip both times. Love Kennywood. Sad I have never been on this coaster, but with young kids long lines are harder on those bigger coasters. My daughter really wanted to go but the line was insane opening year and then...

    Let's play being head of Universal Creative...

    I would love for some spinning to come back in certain scenes that really should have them along with some areas needing more now with no spinning. In its current state this ride really isn't at the level of dark rides at Disney or ET.
