As much as I'm nostalgic for it, Universe of Energy should go next...

Christine McCarthy would be proud of an idea like this! Good to see others carrying on her legacy after her mysterious sudden retirement...

Thank you!

Hey all, I'm making this thread to clear up some confusion about forum rules, because yesterday I made a response in the thread about alleged softening attendance in the US parks recently, and it got deleted with no notice to me about why. I'm assuming it's because I mentioned politics in my...

I would be more annoyed - don't get me wrong, I *am* annoyed about this - but us UK visitors have already been feeling this kind of stinginess for some years now. Only US residents could pre-buy discounted MagicBands before their trip post-Covid, and international visitors don't even get any...

I'm gonna go by 'era' and not just individual present-day parks, so you'll see the same park re-appear on my list in different places. OK, here we go! THE GREAT PARKS: ---------- Mid-2020s Tokyo DisneySea. Mid-2010s Tokyo DisneySea. Early-2010s Parc Disneyland Paris. Mid-2020s Tokyo Disneyland...

Fair enough, you have good points, I probably worded my criticism too harshly in places. I see how 3.0 looks back to recreate elements of WOM in places, I think I was expecting a more concrete 'return to form' for EPCOT's Transportation Pavilion, and that's on me. Still though, I feel Disney...

Agreed. I strongly encourage everyone to watch ParachutingKitten's latest YouTube video on the history and current evolution of Test Track, it sums up my thoughts super well. 3.0 feels corporate in a way previous EPCOT's attractions haven't felt as much like, with cringe-worthy dialogue and...

I'm not gonna pretend like Waterworld isn't a cost-save to port over here, but that doesn't mean the show doesn't get good reviews. The whole joke around Waterworld is "avoid the film, see the theme park show". Trust me, I wasn't happy to see it in the concept art yesterday either, it's 100%...

Beijing got Waterworld in 2021, and it's a popular and praised attraction at the park, although it's based off of an irrelevant IP. There's a reason Uni clones it everywhere. I don't know why you're 'calling me out' with this pessimistic tone, but at this point I'm so over blind pessimism about...

Ever a perfectionist, I've created a third and (hopefully) final version of my concept art dissection, this time not being my predictions but exclusively insight into what the concept art suggests will be in the resort as a whole, in-line with existing rumours and leaks about this project. I've...

I get the scepticism but honestly parks like Shanghai Disneyland and Universal Beijing all do get an OK amount of international visitors, especially watch Westerner vloggers who go there often and you'll see a *few* white people amongst the local crowds. You gotta think though, USGB could do...

1) The Labour government needs a win and have been pushing hard for this for a long time. It's a completely different opportunity to work with the esteemed Universal Creative than with some brand new first-timer independent company making a brand new no-name theme park. This project is going to...

I've updated my predictions list to be more in-tune with current rumours and discoveries, including the (almost) confirmation that North of Dreamworks' Minions, is a Shrek area (based on the presence of the Poison Apple restaurant), the swapping of Pokemon for Paddington, and the removal of the...

As much as I'd love a Dark Universe variation, I doubt they'd want to do that seeing as they want UK visitors to continue feeding into their international tourism business in Florida. Even if the Dark Universe land is unique to the UK, the facts Monsters fans can get their fill locally could...
