T2:3D - Battle Across Time Memorial Thread

[Teebin]

Bourne is just so friggin violent, which I love. It's just that I would hate to see a watered down theme park version of it.

 

[Disneyhead]

An action movie doesn't seem "high energy"? :saywhat:

Fast & Furious? Yes.

Jason Bourne? "High Energy"? Still seems....off.

Calling it now! Munsters Live!

 

[Legacy]

Seriously, watch.

Marketing blurb:

The hit international espionage film and book franchise comes to life at Universal Studios. Watch as [white male protagonist] uncovers a dark conspiracy and battles those coming him in a new show with death-defying stunts, action-packed fights, and special effects you can only find at Universal Studios.

Am I talking about Bourne or Bond?

 

[LieutLaww]

Fast & Furious? Yes.

Jason Bourne? "High Energy"? Still seems....off.

Ok then, while we wait for this cake to sink...

Speaking of sinking... hey UC, how is that F&F thing coming along?

I will forgive F&F's existence at this point, as it (and D23) seem to have lit an "Oh crap" fire under UC's behinds

How big is the T2 building? I couldn't imagine any version of WaterWorld ever fitting there. Honestly, I can't see a full stunt show fitting in that spot either.

It's a 2 year build. They're not swapping one shoe out for another

From what I'm seeing online, there's a lot of rumors flying around at the moment -- no surprise as Universal has wanted to give T2 the boot for nearly five years now. Things will likely be sanded down as everything progresses... but times like these I just get a headache whenever Universal plays these games with new attractions.

Also I wonder if they intended on adding more seating. With AA and likely FFL eventually leaving, there will only be two theater attractions in USF: the more capacity, the better.

You could make the argument that all of the simulator rides are "theater attractions." In that case, there's a ton of capacity.

I totally get what you're saying though. I wonder if we'll start seeing the giant theaters in Toon Lagoon + Lost Continent used to make up for the theater loss at USF.

Damn. Just read the news this morning. All of these closures are really bumming me out, but I understand that they need to try and stay relevant. I just hope that whatever we get will be as unique as T2 was when it first opened.

 

[GadgetGuru]

Where is everybody getting the confirmation on this from? I haven't seen anything official about T2's closure on Universal Orlando's blog or Twitter.

Well, for the first six years Universal was open those Hollywood streets were just facades anyway. The park survived without an attraction there before. I think we can survive a couple years.

Maybe if they didn't ruin the main show by switching from film to digital and it getting blurry in the process I'd be more sad.

I've always considered this to be the third (and final) entry in the film series. Great work by Stan Winston and James Cameron and incredibly ingenious three screen third act and mix of live actors from Gary Goddard on the show. It had a good run.

The official site's listing for the attraction. It comes and goes when I refresh today.

 

[Nick]

It's listed on the UOTeam website as well.

 

[Mr. EPCOT]

It will live on in Osaka! At least for now.

 

[UK-Trigg]

More details will be announced soon.

Hopefully they won't be keep us hanging too long

 

[Disneyhead]

I'm thinking with a 2 year build, we are getting something like the new theater coming to the MK. The IP they put in is secondary.

 

[UniversalCrazy]

Are they using the same building or demolishing for the new show?
