Pun intended? 😂

Imagine an attraction like this in a park themed to movie-making. A live-action production version of the Muppet Show. (Slight twist!) You can enter the theater and watch the production or you can choose to see the magic behind the production by sitting in seats that only show the backstage...

I'm still shocked that Pontiac died and Buick survived. Totally due to the Asian market where Buick sells big.

Wonder if that tweet means that Josh Gad is willing to put up some dough to get it green-lit.

It's not even good at Universal. The aesthetic is just too bland. Aside from saying, "Hey, I drank a Duff and had a pink donut" What is the draw?

Let's turn the back of Sunset into a Muppet Studios. Rock n Rollercoaster starring the Electric Mayhem Theater behind Tower could house a revised MuppetVision 3D with different in-house effects. Bring out the Muppet Mobile Labs in the RnR courtyard Tower of Terror could have Gonzo and Rizzo...

I will forever miss The Adventurer's Club. So yes, it was better before :)

Tower of Terror and Spiderman also have seatbelts like this. I wouldn't judge it by that.

I think the painted flats work fine for Nintendo...as the background to most of the original games were just flat looking backgrounds.

But, to continue with your video game analogy... Those old "repetitive gameplay loops" in video games would sometimes mix it up a bit and have a different type of level or "bonus level" which would break it up, and those were usually the most remembered of the games because they WERE different...

You can have scenes that aren't trying to be jump scares just for the sake of jump scares. You can show them wreaking havoc within the manor. (Kind of like in Dinosaur when the Alioramus is eating a dino...it's an impressive sight, but it's not directly "coming at you." It's just a nice show...

Agreed. They are well done but that amount of movement on the Shaman is still untouched IMO. I'll add that Kong (due to it's shear size) and the raptors in the Velocicoaster queue are some of Unis best.

I'm basing it on families with kids. Most families stick around for the fireworks and bolt. Without fireworks or some big nighttime show I'd imagine most would leave before they do when they're waiting for the fireworks. Even opening the park later...say at 11 and keeping it open 2 hours...

But turnstile numbers are one thing...what's the attendance like in the park near closing? Without a "nighttime spectacular" to keep guests in later, there really is no draw other than "I want to ride this rollercoaster at night!" Hopefully since Epic really won't have limitations on pyro due...

No help, Islands isn't open late enough for lights to be effective. :)

To me, I think this is part of the charm of IoA. World Showcase allows you to see the countries across the lagoon. In IoA, looking out over the lagoon and you see the beautiful lands all represented. At night, Hulk has a beautiful green lighting package. Just hop on the Seuss Trolley when the...

The static raptors are the cop-out. Basing a coaster in a raptor paddock, IMO, isn't a cop-out because that's what Jurassic World is. A theme park on an island with dinosaurs. I could definitely see that being an attraction at "Jurassic World." Just like I could see the giant...

Maybe at first when it was designed as a boardwalk pier in California...but now it's Incredibles.

More...because you can't do this at the mid-range hotels.

Agreed, it will not "blow Disney away" but it definitely will help Universal. Having a 3rd theme park along with the water park will hurt Disney more than IoA did (not as a single new park but as a destination rather than a day away from a Disney vacation).
