Dark Universe - General Discussion Thread

[Killer Klown]

There are two rumors right now.

1) "Creature boat ride". What's on the tin, a boat ride with the creature. The implication of the rumor was we'd be the main focus of the creature.
2) Bride/Creature coaster concept. "Coaster" as in how SSE and High in the Sky are coasters, could sitll be a boat dunno, but now it's the creature and bride with the bride being the instigating factor.

I have a feeling option 1 is gonna be the winner here

I think I recall someone bringing up a patent for a “water ride” that’s not actually a water ride, but tricks you into thinking it’s one. It sounds like this is what it’s going to be.

don't water rides have a nearby source of water? I know I see a retention pond near JPRiver Adventure, Popeye opens an hour after the park from what I recall and it seems to pull from IOA lagoon.

I think I recall a lake behind Helios or over there by the fireworks launch area.

Just wondering the practicality of a 'water' ride on that side of the park.

Creating a retention pond nearby isn't hard but also its possible to do it without a retention pond. Nightlight Expedition at Dollywood uses a giant tank to store the water needed for the attraction (likely because of the cold weather they get in the area but its possible)

Are you seriously questioning how Universal can get water to power an attraction in Florida? Have you ever been? That’s like asking how to get sand in the Sahara.

chill out, please.

chill out, please.

It was supposed to be a joke. Because if you dig in Florida, you get water, that’s why there aren’t basements in the state.
