Ride Concept Survey

[danpam1024]

Just completed a ride concept survey for:
1. a ride based on The Lorax
2. a ride based on the Smurfs
For each there were 2 separate story lines and ride concepts (dark suspended rides vs 3D simulators). It was fun to give input. It's nice they seem to be catering to a broad spectrum of guests. Guess there will be more announcements for future UOR projects! Keep 'em coming!

Please tell me you voted for the Lorax!

 

[GLaDOS]

Please tell me you voted for the Lorax!

And the dark ride!

Please tell me you voted for the Lorax!

it was 2 concepts for each ride. I voted for dark rides on both kinda over the 3d simulators- i see them as a cheap way of adding something new. Despicable Me is meh- could have been so much more. But I guess it's fun for the little ones.

If they're based on the film adaptations (which is likely), please for the love of God no. If it's the original stuff, yes please!

The theme in the pre-show room is lots of fun though...

And, yeah, my kid adored the Dance Party. Ride? Agreed...meh...

The ride is good, but among repeat rides my enjoyment goes down. I'll still go on it if the wait is 20 minutes or less, but that's pretty rare.

A suspended dark ride with a family friendly theme? Sounds like a replacement for ET to me

I put that in my survey! and begged for them not to ax ET! One concept was based on the movies, one on the book/cartoon

There's no way they replace ET with Seuss when they have a full land dedicated to Seuss in the other park.

replace Twister with some dark thrill ride

No room.

they could use the Smurfs

 

[GLaDOS]

I don't think they're seriously looking into the Smurfs.

 

[RTeker]

I don't think they're seriously looking into the Smurfs.

agreed. last time I rode a smurf ride was Smurf Mountain at King Dominion WAY back before the park went to the Paramount Kings Dominion. after they took over the whole park went down to crapper

No room.

Well, there would be if they got rid of RR&R and made it two-three stories. I think they call that pie in the sky

Last I heard, didn't Spielberg demand (and have it in his contract) that they can't get rid of the ET ride, because of how livid he was that the other parks demolished them? There was a rumor that a "new" E.T. ride would be constructed for one of the new UNI parks. If that's true, I don't think E.T. will be going anywhere.

I got the survey as well and I chose the dark ride for the Lorax and the 3D ride for Smurfs. I pointed both times that Universal has too many 3D rides already and a good dark ride is better but for some reason the concept of the Smurf dark ride didn't appeal to me.

How do you get that survey!

I think this is one of those internet myths that has become "fact" without anything to back it up.
