That was actually what I was thinking. If it was a hint at a future PETS ride of some variety

It would make a lot of sense honestly.

The Race Through New York ride building is "up the road" from Illumination Avenue (TSLoP is also Illumination) and TSLoP movie is set in New York so it would make perfect sense for this attraction to "bridge the gap" between those two areas (Illumination Avenue and New York) seamlessly.

But.....USO has had no appetite for a SLOP ride. They passed before. There was more space at Shrek than USH Pets occupies. The big problem though, is that SLOP merch just never took off in the park. There was a time when the film came out that USO gave a ton of retail shelf space (especially in IOA) to SLOP. It didn't sell. Now there's just a small splattering of SLOP merch through the parks. Myself, I love what I've seen of the ride, but I doubt its destined for USO, especially in the very small footprint that the GP popular Fallon ride occupies. There's more popular IP's that can be used for expansion at USF.

The Secret Life of Pets photo op added to New York area in Universal Studios Florida

A new photo op featuring Max and Duke from the film series The Secret Life of Pets has been added to the New York section of Universal Studios Florida. The sculpted figures are located near a bench at Gramercy Park, across from Race Through New York featuring Jimmy Fallon. Max and Duke,

Raptors in the kitchen! That's an incredible reference.

Little updates like these go a really long way in making the park feel more alive and cared for. I love both of these. There is no financial incentive to either. They are just fun, well-done little additions to 20+ year old lands. I want way more of this kind of thing.

Some notes from today (trying to document what still needs work as we approach the march to Epic's opening):
  • Hogwarts Express could definitely use some new speakers.

  • Forbidden Journey: The dragon isn't breathing out fire (I've been told she hasn't been for a solid month now), second dementor is frozen, and the skull projection before entering the giant skull isn't working.

  • Hagrid's mouth isn't moving on his animatronic.

  • VelociCoaster trains could use a fresh coat of paint.

Bet this has something to do with it being Jaws' 50th anniversary! Hoping we get special anniversary merch/themed snacks to go along with it!

Sorry, I must have missed it...I'm not as terminally online as I used to be :lmao:...I now see merch was announced in March.

Anyway, themed snacks would still be cool (don't come for my head if I missed that announcement too lol)
