Nope. It's actually an IP that is targeted for everyone of all ages.
When the rest of the land looks as immaculately-themed as this land does, I think it's more than fair to be baffled by one of the buildings -- holding a major attraction -- getting the regional amusement park treatment.
I would argue that Universal has achieved that through the design of the land....and yes there is something for everyone.
How is that something to argue in regards to the IP itself? The land speaks for itself, I was referring to the franchise only
I agree, It is a complete land with mass appeal across the whole family. The perfect land when someone like me is looking for a park for my family of 5.
I honestly always saw it as a hit, but maybe it is because I have a very dragon obsessed family. Dragons are super popular in my kids age groups. With wings of fire being a hugely popular tween series that now has a graphic novel series for younger crowd.
I am waiting on judgement of a building that we have yet to see in person. Let's not freak out about minor details at this point yet. They did a very good themed land, I am sire that building will be fine.
I really hate comparing lands across parks because it is so subjective. I personally think TS is also fleshed out for all ages. As an adult I enjoy the rides offered and the younger kids also have options. Only thing I think TS needs is a playground or splash type area. But honestly my whole family loves that land and not even just my core 5 it is a favorite of my extended family and any friends who visit us and go to Disney.
I imagined it, not seeing it in full I was totally convinced of this concept.
Nobody has freaked out over anything.
I'm hoping the angle from which we will approach the building will help hide it.
I don't think that the comparison is totally subjective. I really like both IPs....and don't get me wrong....Slinky Dog is an incredibly themed and enjoyable family coaster. That being said....there is no show for those that don't ride.....as you said there is nothing for the little ones other than seeing roaming characters....and themed dining Woody's Round-Up took forever to come to fruition and ain't all that from many of the reviews that I've seen. And this is DISNEY.....that's why I would expect it on the same level as *gulp*.....Universal? Wow how times have changed.....
I completely agree with you! I wouldn’t be mad if that fountain was a spiritual successor of the Mystic Fountain.
I’m glad someone else said it.
That forced perspective definitely stuck out to me more than the theater flats. I am excited to see the scaffolding come down.
Toy story mania has no height restriction and the spinner ride is 32". So yes there is stuff for littles. In all fairness DHS has a good bit of shows which is why I imagine they didn't add a show when they did this land. It is hard because this park is starting ground up so they could pick where shows would be best placed where when you are adding a land you do have to consider the other offerings already in the park.
OK, freaked out was a strong word, but that building seems to be highlighted in several posts as a worry and I know how this board can go down rabbit holes of the unknown.
Yes, the land will be spectacular, its just one of those "I wish they could have hid this a bit better" situations.
