All things Universal Studios Hollywood

I get the feeling Japan might allow a bit more exaggeration in their park ads. I’m now realizing there’s probably no way to film what the ride experience will actually be like, with the AR playing such a huge role.

This commercial is soo better than the ride they actually made

Reading forums and permits I expected less and surprised what they came up with. But if it was faster there would be so much going on and a much shorter ride.

Armchair Imagineering Fixes:

- Dial Back the AR to have it not overwhelm sets
-Motion bases to add some movement and simulated g-forces
-Limit the sets to 2 tracks with a Rainbow Road finale
-Have the vehicles gain and fall back at different moments to see physical riders around you not just mirroring you
- Faster speeds
-Utilize a 2nd story with elevators similar to Transformers (Elevator up is a sequence where we get a star and blaze through quickly. Elevator down can be part of the Rainbow Road finale)
-A midgame portion where the competing cars can affect one another similar to MIB.
-No Boss Battles

I didn't think there would be so much stuff in the ride that wasn't screens, but I think it suffers from that somehow. It's like they got the two rides wrong and Mario Kart should have been on the Yoshi tracks flying around the land and the Yoshi ride should have been the Mario Kart one.

I like Universal and all (well I used to), but the park food has always been terrible for me. I've only eaten at City Walk when I visit Universal and I have no regrets.

I remember in 2017 the highest reviewed restaraunt inside the park was a Panda Express by Transformers.

I have found that Universal's burgers are better than Disney's. I also like their breakfast sandwiches and food at Three Broomsticks.

FYI, the Taste event is going to be upper level only.

Yeah but all the vloggers will be there with their neck beards at the top of the stairs aiming their cameras on the lower lot so they can post "JURASSIC WORLD UPDATE VIDEO!!! or 'NINTENDO WORLD CONSTRUCTION UPDATE!!!!!!!!!" videos.

Speaking of Super Nintendo World Updates... here is the latest look from today! Progress is really moving!

 

[Darkbeer1]

Universal just added dates to its Taste of Universal, April 9th, 10th and 11th.

With Comcast CEO saying USH will open in April, looks like USH will be reopening about the same time as the Disneyland Resort.

Which just so happens to be the worst Panda Express I’ve ever had
