    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    Don't give them any ideas. The preshow needs to work as intended. The entire attraction does. Even with the large amount of AAs, because of the way they're staggered between scenes, it's still painfully obvious when even just one of them isn't working.

    Rip Ride Rockit Permanently Closing August 18 2025

    While I'm not in favor of closing MIB, as I've already established, those two attractions aren't exactly working with the same amount of real estate. I have a feeling we'd be seeing more people complaining about another underwhelming attraction if they tried to put any sort of dark ride in...

    Rip Ride Rockit Permanently Closing August 18 2025

    I assume this would be some sort of interactive attraction. I think the big hangup with Ghostbusters potentially getting its own interactive attraction is the fact that MIB and Minions already exist. I've seen people wanting to replace MIB with Ghostbusters, but I think the park has more...

    Rip Ride Rockit Permanently Closing August 18 2025

    I got it! It's going to be the world's first bed coaster, The Exorcist: The Ride.

    News Universal Horror Unleashed Chicago

    They said "if DisneyQuest opened today." Chicago's was the same format as Orlando's, no?

    Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit?

    This thread is like a fever dream that I purposely blocked out of my memory.

    News Universal Horror Unleashed Chicago

    DisneyQuest wouldn't work now. Yes, it's "experiential," but it's specifically an experience based on a bygone era. It didn't exactly help that Disney completely failed to keep it updated, but at the end of the day there's only so much you can do when we live in a time where things like VR can...

    News Universal Horror Unleashed Chicago

    The sort of people who would visit Chicago aren't going to NYC for hollow tourist traps like Times Square (likewise, the Bean is nothing more than a quick photo-op.) They're going for the historical landmarks, the performing arts, the fancy restaurants, the architecture & the museums. The sorts...

    News Universal Horror Unleashed Chicago

    Chicago lacks attractions explicitly dedicated to tourists, but many tourists don't visit a large city to see such things. They go for the actual city experience and everything that entails. People visit NYC for the same reason.

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    I'm not saying they wanted the park to be poorly built. There's also no indication that they consider the park poorly built. This is a subjective take, after all. Do you think they considered IOA poorly built? Because it took them over a decade to add another indoor attraction, which would seem...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    It was a purely creative decision to cut at least one of those attractions, because the concept was deemed unworthy to include in the finished product. And if the attraction truly wasn't going to be up to par, it's likely for the best, even if you're left with less indoor options for the time being.

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    Two indoor rides were canceled along with the show. I think the canceled rides fall outside the scope of my question though, since they have no bearing on what's actually there, and if anything does get built on those plots in the future they could still be indoors. My point was that the large...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    Has anyone considered the possibility that creating more indoor attractions simply didn't align with their creative vision? It's easy to ask for more indoor attractions, but they can't just build something that's indoors for the sake of it.

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    I see monorails, but I don't see a recognizable connection to the PeopleMover. Anything can be transit if built for that purpose. As it stands, the PeopleMover is merely a theme park ride, no different to a rollercoaster. It isn't transit. It doesn't take you anywhere. You end up right back...

    Universal Epic Universe (South Expansion Complex) - Now Open!

    How is a rollercoaster a "retro futuristic transit solution?" Because I say it is. If Disney can tell you the PeopleMover is a "retro futuristic transit solution" and you just accept that at face value, I can do the same with a rollercoaster or any other ride system with moving vehicles. Do you...
