Alicia is in the parks. Walls have spread.
Is there a tentative timeframe for when the work in front of that DC entrance will be finished?
Alicia is in the parks. Walls have spread.
A park that opened with three rollercoasters currently has one in operation and the numbers dictated Universal's decision in building two more in replacement. A lot of people are seemingly having an identity crisis in regards to what kind of park IOA is. Adventure is in the name, and slow moving dark ride doesn't fit the bill.
Dueling Dragons was 2 different coasters. It was demolished and IOA is getting two different coasters to replace them.
But SeaWorld's numbers aren't falling? Source on that? They're legit about to start construction on a new coaster there. If rollercoasters are such a problem, why is literally every major park in Florida building one? Universal(x2), Disney(x2), SeaWorld, and Busch Gardens. I get the need/want for more immersive experiences, but the parks have determined that this is a market they wanted to tap back into. One can complain, or they can accept. The only certainty is that we're getting a bunch of new coasters in the next two years, and it's gonna be great.I'm aware there is a set of theme park lovers who love roller coasters. They would be happy with a park full of coasters. But there is a reason why Six Flags isn't making the returns that Disney or Universal. There is a reason that even with some very good coasters at Sea World it's numbers are falling.
Universal had been rumored to be building a coaster at JP for... Over ten years? Rumor had it as an Amber Minecart ride, but it makes sense they would go with something higher on the thrills now that dueling dragons is replaced by something more family friendly.
I know a lot of people who will be excited that they're getting coaster after coaster.
Are you just trolling? They were two entirely different roller coasters.I think you are taking creative licensing counting them as two. Regardless, 8 is far too many over two parks.

Provide a source saying their numbers are failing.Stopped reading when you claimed Sea Worlds numbers aren't falling. That park is in horrendous shape, and no cheap new coasters won't address that fall.
Roller coasters are also very ugly. The beauty of a landscape can be ruined by placing a coaster in there.

Well, that's incorrect. Based on overall investment, roller coasters are comparatively low-cost, typically have less maintenance concerns, and drive traffic like few other attractions can.Going down the Six Flags route as a business decision makes little sense.

By that logic then, Universal took out of a boat ride in Jaws, a physical dark ride for the family in Kong and Disaster and should be looking to equally replace those.
Every creative decision is based on cost.So again, this is perhaps a creative decision based on costs rather than the correct creative decision?
Provide a source saying their numbers are failing.
Again, how is it creative licensing to say it was two different coasters?
