Because it’s never gone down for a solid extended refurb. That should be happening right now before the park opens to guests again...The thing opened 16 years ago and is indoors, how is it a maintenance problem already?!

Money isn’t the concern; It’s the limited number of high profile attractions.I get all of that up to the last sentence. They can afford refurbs, they just choose to run their stuff into the ground.

I always heard that with Mummy down the guest satisfaction also took a hit...Therefore, incentive to keep it openNot only that... There were other pressing needs around the park, quality notwithstanding, that needed attention first. USF was in rough shape capacity-wise when Twister, BJ, and Disaster went down. Taking down Mummy at any point during the past few years would've been brutal. Not to mention, they were kinda hoping 2017's reboot performed better than it did.

There’s a pretty straightforward equation to project the drop in park GSAT associated with a ride going offline and the net result really isn’t that big. It takes wiping a lot to move outside the margin of survey error.I always heard that with Mummy down the guest satisfaction also took a hit...Therefore, incentive to keep it open

And no, I’m not going to outline it here because I know exactly which executive would get a paper copy of this page on his/her desk if their social people actually monitor forums.

This fact has been proven several times*Narrator* "They do."
HHN 2010 is a good one too.This fact has been proven several times
The go-to example is HHN 2004
I don’t think any attraction’s (not parade or theater) capacity will be hit as hard by social distancing as Supercharged and Kong.
Most of the rides use small ride cars that fit 4-6. You can keep a 1 car to 1 group ratio going. The bus attractions cram dozens of people into a single vehicle. One bus holds several multiples of what a roller coaster train holds. That isn’t going to work with social distancing.
I have no idea how Universal would reopen Supercharged with enough capacity to warrant opening the ride even once Phase 2/3 occurs
Universal was really playing seven-dimensional chess with this attraction. It’s brilliant!F&F was practising social distancing last year with how empty the cars were. It's going to be ok.
That's not what I was saying... my point was that a single ride out during a slower season doesn't affect park GSATs as much as you'd think.You can't tell me it drops more for Shrek, or any other attraction for that matter
Maybe Gringotts, but that's a maybe
Oh I don't doubt it for a second. I mean, reading this place for work has to be way better than those who have to read DISboards or Magic :crazy:*Narrator* "They do."
We're also like the consumers out there for Universal who actually care the most/actually vacation at their resorts. It makes sense for them to read at the very least some of our thoughts.
So Universal if you're reading.... DO THIS. MAKE THE F&F ride.
