I know Thierry Coup left in March last year, but he did say this was Unis biggest mistake ever. When(not if) the replace this soon, No way they keep the ride system. The building is huge, gut it and move on to something better.Am a huge fan of the franchise since Dom was a convenience store owner, but this ride needs to be re-themed or leveled.

I feel that is unlikely. Creating 360 degree media for that tunnel is more costly and resource intensive than many people realize, and while the ride film certainly isn't good, the main issue with the attraction is the ride system itself. No overlay can really fix that.In the intern before they can get to fully replacing Supercharged, it is possible that perhaps a temporary overlay is fast tracked until bigger ticket items like Pokemon come online that will afford Universal the opportunity to shutter the ride for good?
Twisters did big business at the domestic box office in particular and I think USF should look into adding it back to the resort somehow given the success of the film and how easily it translates to a theme park ride (Twisters in 4DX was like a 2-hour ride). That said, San Francisco isn't the ideal location for an Oklahoma-based franchise. I guess they could retheme the area to become more like a rural main street but it might clash with the city aesthetic between New York and London.Am a huge fan of the franchise since Dom was a convenience store owner, but this ride needs to be re-themed or leveled.

Its estimated budget including marketing is pushing $200 million. It hasn’t even broken $300 million domestically. It’s not a flop by any means, but this type of performance can’t possibly justify bullish reintegration into the theme park. They already removed an attraction based on its much more successful predecessor!Universal handled domestic, where it's clearly a solid, mid-range hit that has had very, very good legs.
Different eras.Box Office numbers can't tell us of an attraction's success, WaterWorld proved that. But, if there's a mandate to reuse the ride system, Twisters is a perfect candidate. I'd hate for them to reuse this ride system for an other IP that demands higher quality experiences.
Well aware, just wanted to bring up the point that if Universal is attempting to keep the ride system and reskin, Twisters isn't a bad candidate. The ride system is a D-ticket at best, and Universal shouldn't try to put a major IP in here unless it's a complete demo of the building/system.Different eras.
Easy, just CGI the TransAmerica building somewhere in the background and you’re golden!That said, San Francisco isn't the ideal location for an Oklahoma-based franchise.

This is true, but Universal’s mega-hits this half of the century have been limited to Minions, Jurassic Park, and Nintendo…all of which are already represented.I really think we may be overestimating how bullish Universal is on Twister as a franchise right now. The sequel did well enough domestically (bulk of the pic's business at $238 million) but cratered internationally (couldn't clear $100 million). Couldn't meet the original's numbers, even with the nostalgia factor and without accounting for inflation. It won't break a profit theatrically.
