It's easy to say the Anime products sell out over the other products when you are ordering 10% of the total of potter shirts you would order.

Apparently, new coaster track for the How To Train Your Dragon coaster from Intamin has been imported to Florida.

Aww and here I was hoping to talk about how a Demon Slayer attraction must happen /s

Really curious how fast the coasters go up. We're already seeing it with Donkey Kong, so hopefully the Mack-Rides Spinning and Dual Launch, plus the Intamin Family Multi-launch, goes up quick.

….intamin?

….intamin?

Yes. As we’ve thought.

Mack for the boat ride in Dragons, but this coaster has always been described as “Hagrid Lite” to me.

I've made my feelings about the coaster clear, but if the boat ride, sky fly and show all remain in the lineup that'll be a nice balanced land.

I'm telling ya'll those Sky Flys are the most fun flat rides out there. It will certainly be the most thrilling part of the land

Been on a Sky Fly at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. They’re truly fun rides! Glad to see one coming to a state I would actually go out of my way to go to.

The interesting thing with the Sky Flys is the fact that they are flat rides. If these go well for Universal, it could mean that they add more flat rides in the future - at the moment there is a dumbo style ride, a carousel, a teacups, a balloon ride and a Zamperla Demolition Derby and that is their complete flat ride collection world wide. It is good to see that they are getting a bit more variety into Epic Universe with flat rides, as they are not just putting duplicates in of rides already at the resort (eg Twirl and Hurl and One fish two fish). Although there is a carousel, I am hoping that with the new system, it will be new and interesting enough.

I'm jealous you've been to Blackpool...the closest I've been to that and Alton Towers is playing RCT

Gerstlauer/Zamperla in particular are rolling out some pretty competitive and interesting flats

I imagine Universal is looking for flats that are either highly accessible or 'choose your own intensity'.

Also, the ability to be highly themed and very high throughput are necessary attributes

There are a few flats that hit these categories, but they are still largely lacking other than teacups/carousels/and the dumbo-esque spinners

SkyFlys hit all the categories and I definitely agree with you that this could be the start of a trend

a Zamperla Demolition Derby

What park?

 

[PerceptiveCoot]

Every land needs at least one flat imo

 

[Aardvark787]

What park?

Universal Studios Japan - in the Minions area

 

[Happytycho]

Given all the talk about how F&F should have a better/faster ride in the parks, wouldn't it make sense for the dueling coaster here to be F&F themed?

If spacing wasn't an issue, I think a slot car type ride like Radiator Springs Racer would be most ideal. Only if the next F&F installment is about racing on the moon.

Yes... if the hub weren't themed to astrology/sci-fi/space-ish.

Welllll....

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Welllll....

Hilariously the fourth attraction in the park to take you into space???

 

[Tyc00n96]

Bit random, but since those dueling coasters are rumored to be Mack installations, do we think the back row will have the rotating seats like Blue Fire?
