That Yaxley dialogue sounds like a temp track left in. I enjoy the other potter rides so I will certainly enjoy this. That said, they all seem pretty formulaic now. This land and attraction, while top-notch just seems like “more” when I was hoping for something truly different. Also the...

Well, I haven't been there and don't want to simply rely on guest images and concept art so I'll ask, does Constellation Carousel at all resemble the glowing colorful jewel depicted in the concept art whose light (accented but not overwhelmed by popcorn lights) shines from within at night?

If I posted this years ago back before we had anything but a land acquisition.announcement and said I was from the future would anyone be happy if I said this was a view not from the greater resort, but from inside the actual park?

Curse of the Werewolf POV's now exist. Egads that's an ugly abomination in all the worst ways. Baffling integration with both horrible on-ride views while also desecrating an otherwise well-themed land.

Isn’t that how Lightning McQuuen talks? A projection mapped mouth tracking onto a moving animatronic.

Wizarding Paris looks wonderful, but more credit to Stuart Craig and his team whose work is basically being translated into Theme Park form. Hope he gets a second check out of all these lands. To me, the one way to compete with Rise isn't necessarily with scale. It's to craft a long-form...

That was my impression- also that this "Igor" knockoff feels like he'd be better placed over with the Minions.

I'll be thrilled if this is true as this was rumored to be cut-back to a screen-based scene

I like the intimacy and some animatronics give true performances. The ride does look to be another chaotic cacophony. One pace, one setting, one scrap of story. Still gives more of a Spirit Halloween vibe (Igor, the Dr, and Dracula especially) over Universal's Classic Monsters. Phantom...

This vibe? The poorly-laid concrete and Six-Flags vibe? Granted, this is not a flattering angle of an area I'm sure I'll take some nice pictures in someday. But still. Photo from ThemeParkX where they also posted a pic of the Chronos

While the Chinese restaurant looks to be just that, I really love that dragon.

Gives it more of a 50's sci-fi feel.

While I was happy to see the rather generic entry arch from the original concept art replaced with the Chronos, there's a daytime photo of it from the entrance plaza floating around that is rather disappointing. It looks small and spindly and does little to obstruct Helios looming large in the...

Well, I won’t pull up all the old posts disavowing my claim that this mediocre monstrosity of a hotel would serve as Icon/weenie/centerpiece/focal-point//heart of this new park, but they were insistent and abundant.

Eh? I'd love it if it were perfect (though who was really expecting "perfect"). I had been rooting for this project and following it from the moment the land acquisition was announced (the first time they acquired it). I love Universal and have been going since it opened. My fear with this...

As a huge coaster fan (farewell Rip Ride Rocket) I'm worried about reports that Stardust is rougher than Velocicoaster- a ride I was not expecting to be rattled on so much. Also some have said Donkey Kong seems to shudder after turns due to the unique ride system. Coasters don't tend to get...

You're missing half the point.

The very first concept art walked my expectations way back. Immediately gone were the rumors of a park on the scale of Epcot and the artistry of DisneySea. What we're getting is nice, but severely marred by the hotel. Certainly we're getting some great theming, but the some portals...

Since seeing this opening night I have never understood the enduring hate. The film had many problems, but not this. This is what you get when an awkward nerd suddenly feels cool and empowered. It's appropriate cringe- the film acknowledges this.
