1986: An Imagineering Competition - HYPE THREAD

[Pi on my Cake]

Every year in elementary during my art class my teacher would play this masterpiece, and all I have to say is:

Saw that one as a kid.
Loved it for inexplicable reasons.
That specific song stayed with me for years as the funniest and silliest thing ever.
Didn't watch the movie for years.
Sought it out as a teen for some nostalgic fun.
But, for whatever reason, Cartoon Network chose that song as one of the clips to cut for time to add more ads.
Made me start to question my sanity.
Was the song about suing the pants off of santa a fever dream? Did I imagine it?
Cartoon Network gave me the gift of gaslighting for the holiday season.
Thankfully, the next year they played the whole the whole thing and I was proven sane.

Alright ya'll, what's your favorite Christmas/Holiday movie that is objectively terrible, but you love it anyways?

I legit watch this every year, it's so funny to me that I can't just not watch it. I like to introduce people to it by pretending it's the best christmas movie ever and then trolling them with this masterpiece. It's so much fun

Wow! I see at least two animatronics! That's unprecedented usage by a theme park!

I saw that last image and initially was like, "that is a really [flush] façade for a Universal attraction." Then I realized that it was a scene the ride.

In my defense, I'm not use to Universal rides having physical sets.

Yeah. After that bad round of so many new screen-based rides, nice to see something from Universal with more physical sets.

Of course, it'd be nice to see more physical sets at the US parks, too.

Which will approximately happen sometime around never.

Money Talks.

I raise you Universal Hollywood’s unopened E-Ticket attraction that utilizes animatronics, sets, and even trackless vehicle technology for a truly next gen experience, The Secret Life of Pets: Off the Leash.

See this is the same exact caliber if not higher than Beijing. We truly are blessed to be given such an attraction with such a hot, popular, and successful IP that in no way, shape, or form will ever be forgotten.

You’re right, if only because one of the dogs is dressed as a minion.

...Man, I kinda feel bad I even forgot this ride is going to be a thing, because it really looks like they're pouring some major effort into that.

Okay, this actually look pretty good for an IP that everyone response with, "Oh, yeah. That exists."

even for "rides based off of illumination films" this would be an idea that's very low on the list haha. like others are saying it's too bad because there's some effort here, but they should've chosen a different film or have waited a bit for the illumination catalogue to have some bigger names than despicable me and suess adaptations.

I absolutely admire the scale and scope of it. But the visual design looks kinda muddy and busy. Plus, my pet peeve that Uni does a lot of having things above your head drawing you eyes upwards when the roof is just an unthemed warehouse roof. But I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that the roof will be less visible in person. Plus, like everyone is saying, the IP isn't a strong one at all. Really curious how this ride will be received and if it can stand on its own without anyone caring for the IP.

Also, that Jurrassic World ride looks amazing!
