Wish Google maps would update their image of DLP, the Studios park is before the lake began construction
Google earth has the lake
Although you may have to view under historical imagery (silly I know)

Normally I avoid those kind of rides, but I might have to make an exception for this one. Up remains one of my favourite movies.
Stupid film. I'm not crying , your crying.

This is the difference between WDI and Universal Creative.
It seems so subtle. But one builds something that looks like a more naturally occurring lake that human infrastructure has been built into. The other builds what is clearly a man made lake and shoves some unnatural looking rock work onto it that clearly looks like a man made lake with rock work stuck to it.

The swing ride should provide nice views of the lake area, though that's why I would have moved Magic Carpets there
(and replace Carpets with something else, ride or not)

The attention to detail in the new lake is absolutely stunning. I agree - this is still an area where WDI tends to outshine Universal. That said, the Jurassic World aesthetic is built around human intrusion into nature, so the more artificial look might actually be intentional.
It’ll be really interesting to see how Paris’s World of Frozen holds up next to Epic’s Isle of Berk. As we’ve already discussed, Disney might fall a bit short when it comes to actual things to do there.

It might still be on the long-term roadmap for the park. But unless they suddenly announce a “turbocharged” expansion phase for DLP, I’ve pretty much resigned myself to Lion King being the only major addition for the rest of the decade.
That said, it would be great if they at least introduced an Avatar walk-through experience - something along the lines of Avatar: The Experience in Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay. As a placeholder, that wouldn’t be too costly or time-consuming to build, and it could still offer something fresh and immersive.
I’d hope not. The park will still need more real things to do and we know how temporary can become permanent.

Fully aligned on the fact that the park needs more real things to do and how DLP handles temporary additions. Though are you feeling confident that we will actually see something else substantial being added before the 2030s?
After the flume personally I don’t see anything being added anytime soon. Hope I’m wrong (still dreaming of Rise!)
I thought the resistance finished in the 40's

I think the Avengers E and Stark robo-arm ride are more likely

Not to over litigate it. But JP is as you said a theme park intruding into a beautiful natural setting. That’s not what they built. They built a man made concrete lake and stuck rocks randomly on the concrete wall. It’s highly inorganic. It doesn’t appear like the barrier carves through natural pre-existing rock formations, it looks bedazzled with fake rocks.
On the MA theatre I’d assume. I was only thinking lake side.
Although they’ve become one and the same now.

lake side needs at least one more major ride after Lion King
But maybe not another boat ride
