Listen universal fanboy, the ride was greatly overhyped by many mostly yourself. I understand pride is getting the way and you can't admit the ride was nowhere near what you hoped and now you are sitting there convincing yourself it's still a good ride. Do you honestly believe that ride moves the needle at all? It's a 4 min ride going from screen to screen with horrible transitions with one animatronic at the end which left me wanting a lot more.
Ooooooooooooooohhhh, a graveyard. Anyone know whats on top of it now?
I apologize for calling you a fanboy
Thank you. The Universal wand waving here need to be pegged down a couple of notches.
I'm not arguing that screens can't be used as a way to enhance a ride. Are you really going to use 4 little bats that do absolutely nothing as a way to call out animatronics on this ride? What a joke those are crap. Enough with this mindset that universal can do know wrong, if this was a Disney ride it would be getting ripped to shreds. Give this ride a couple of months and start seeing the reaction to it.
I don't, my point or argument is we are on a Disney board right? So why all the universal talk, if you want to talk about universal go to that board right?
And I'm not I simply was using trucoats logic, I have no problem discussing universal but people freak out whenever you criticize anything they do. Put crapping all over Disney gets you praise and high fives all over this board.
And you know this.. because...?
I don't hate universal not at all, it's the fact that universal gets praise for rides and tech that Disney would get slammed for that bothers me. The standards are not the same for two parks, universal gets praise for a ride that Disney would get slammed for.
It happens both ways believe it or not.
do you think kong is on the same level as pirates?
I assume you are referring to the Pirates in Shanghai in which case I would say they are very close. The new ride in Shanghai is a really great example of what Disney can do with technology like screens and make a convincing environment. Kong is a whole other beast and yes the Kong AA is by far one of the most impressive AA's ever built anywhere....and they probably will not even need a strobe light.
Yes I was talking about Shanghai sorry I wasn't more clear, but I have to disagree I believe they are nowhere near the same level. If the kong ride was a Disney attraction it would be labeled as a c-ticket attraction.
No....no it would not. Im sorry you say we judge Disney harshly but if you look at their accomplishments over the last decade...why shouldn't we? The last truly great huge attraction was Expedition Everest. The ride is going on TEN YEARS OLD! When the ride opened it was given great praise and seen as a great attraction for the park minus the plain backside of the mountain. Do you know why we criticize it now? The AA inside is broke, and rather then fix it, they put a strobe light on it.
