WaterWorld

[transfo]

So I headed to WW yesterday, and when the Deacon shoots the Mariner and Helen near the guests he said "I came in like a wrecking ball." I don't know how I feel about that.

Saw the show today. He didn't say that line. Maybe it's just an ad-lib.

the new bleachers are going up. I'll post some pics.

They ad lib all the time so it wouldn't surprise me.

The real question is... can he twerk?

I don't know what to think  :mellow:

How do you think he ACTUALLY lost his eye?! Twerking is no laughing matter....

I'm a fan of the new show.


Love the new localized sound effects (including the gunshots), and the new pacing isn't as bad as one would imagine. Overall, a great change that spruces things up.


If I had a criticism, I'd say there's a bit too much smoke effects. The finale can get crowded if the wind doesn't clear things up.

I guess the soak zone will no longer go all the way to the top row anymore in section 1.  I can also imagine that unloading the show will now take longer with more people exiting with a smaller avenue to use.

However, it does seem that you will be walking underneath the bleachers to exit the show.  Hmm.

Only if you're seating in section 3 or to the far left side of section 2 will u need to go under the bleachers. I don't think it'll get to congested.

Didn't have my camera today but the new sections of 3 were open today. Section 2 looks like a VIP section and has space for wheelchairs - it's separated by a "fence" from the rest of the seating. Saw footing for an elevator right next to the tech booth.

 

[William]

Seriously?? An elevator?

 

[Ryan]

So either Waterworld is staying for the next fifteen years AT LEAST or they'd replace it with another show because that's the only justification I can see to building a freaking elevator.

 

[Allen The Actor]

Honestly, I can now now see WaterWorld staying for at LEAST the next 5-10 years, 100%. All this construction and enhancements and with it still being popular just shows that they need it.

 

[ItsAtrap]

I suspect it's the ADA requirements. When any changes are made to a venue that is not ADA compliant they need to bring it up to current regulations.

 

[Miss Betty Juice]

That's what I think, that they're moving the wheelchair section out of the water zone.

 

[Ryan]

That is true, the ADA requirements may have changed. But still that was a conscious decision by Universal and it still means they made a pricey change that must lengthen the show's life for quite some time.
