I'd be fine even if it were simply transportation like the boats across the water in Epcot. Just adding some kinetics would be nice.

Yep. I'd rather see it be more ambitious and take longer than open quickly but be underwhelming. If they decided to delay IJ relative to the rest of the land, where it is located, pretty secluded and off to the side, would make it pretty feasible to not feel like Tropical Americas is still...

Agreed and would love to see a new train station added. It would also be fine if this were a new show scene for the train (a la the Grand Canyon or Primeval World ones in DL)

I've thought Aquatopia would be a nice addition to the central spine at Epcot but this is a good idea as well.

The backstory is that it is a simulation of going into space (ie it is “real” astronaut training). The reality is that it’s a simulation of a simulation not the ride premise. I actually think M:S is a great concept and the idea of doing the same kind of training that real astronauts do is...

Is this true? I didn't get to ride CR until it had been opened for 2 years and the VQ was still running out in seconds. I seem to recall there were some periods when they were easier to grab and then it would get very tough so it might have been how slots where allocated for VQ vs ILL at...

There was never a period where TL was the “only” water park. Before BB, River Country was still open. In fact all three parks existed at once for a few years.

Well if you were going to put it in an existing pavilion then it should been behind Italy, not Germany. But there was plans for a possible Swiss pavilion. Alternatively I think a Mt Fuji version of the Matterhorn in the Japan pavilion would have been great and visually impressive

I’ve long suggested copying the Pinocchio ride from DL.

It would be nice if they utilized the open space - either where the old studio store building used to be or the space behind Mama Melrose/in front of the coaster building - to add a flat ride. Something like a teacups ride would be a nice addition for capacity to the park that needs more...

The concept art seemed to suggest there might be some sort of (covered) children's play area or maybe a M&G to the side going towards the coaster

I get it, but I will honestly say that when D+ and all the other streamers came out - and when Netflix was cheap and losing money every year on streaming - my thought was always "these prices are completely unsustainable, they are going to need to go up quite a bit to make this a viable business...

That’s what we’ve done in the past but there’s only two of us and I think we are going to stay at Cabana Bay where the price for 5 nights total is around the same price at one night at Royal Pacific (the cheapest of the three with Express Pass). And then also the hotel Express pass doesn’t...

Thanks! That's what I thought but the wording on the official Universal website is vague about this.

I didn’t want to start a new thread and this seems like the closest choice… We are considering purchasing the regular Express Pass (not unlimited) for a 4 day visit at Uni in 2026 but for the entire trip. Would we be restricted to 1 ride on any particular attraction during the entire duration...
