Movie release dates get changed a lot. Especially if you're a smaller movie.
I get what you're saying though. There's something to be said about being perfectly ready to go on day 1. I think a lot of it comes down to operations. Movies don't change after day 1 (unless you're George Lucas!) Theme parks do because there's all kinds of operational issues you can't predict (which is half of VB's issues not all)
Well, if everyone treated VB like a movie and just sat there and looked at it, the reviews would be great. But theres a huge difference in having something visually ready when you have 100% control of everything and having it ready to have people physically interact with it.
I think I spend too much time with theme parks when I recognized the voice before I looked to see who made it

There's having opening issues which anyone would expect (ie Diagon opening issues) and then there was this. Which was/is major problems of their own making which could have been avoided and tested if they were more realistic in their opening date and construction.
Or James Cameron!

One has to wonder why the marketing is based on things that aren't functional or will never exist in the park.
How it's so divorced from reality is troubling.

not in forever, I'm just saying the Ad was well done. I realize VB has great theming.

I can't agree with this. For a resort pool- it's pretty cool.
While I preferred the earlier volcano vs the "blown out" look- the splash area and tikis they added are significantly better.
But looking at it in its own (not vs the old look)- it's pretty well-themed.
None of them are aulani - but what is.

Love all those Universal Hotel Resort pools. It's hard to leave them when on vacation.

Jeez! String lights apocalypse!
No, no... all complaints were dismissed as we were told they were "temporary" by a few here, remember?
I don't mind some- but it can certainly be too much of a good thing. I actually think too much takes away from the other light fixtures they have- which haven't been reported on much, but might be the best themed items in the entire park.
As a side note- we really only have two (arguably 3) active insiders on this forum that have consistently had good information- and then a handful of people that want to sound like insiders who end up with egg on their face more often than not. And they always speak in definitives- no "in my opinion" or "I think". Why they Act like that- I don't know- internet fame? :huh:
