Flight of the hippogriff is Thunder Mountain with an eagle head attached to the front car.
Nah. More like Barnstormer with a wicker Hippogriff train. Fun though.
One ride is a flight simulator and they age quick. I will discuss the castle tour in a minute.
No. There is no simulator.
The screen portion of Forbidden Journey is very minimal. Maybe 15% of the total ride. The rest is physical sets.
The "castle tour" is the ride queue. Now challenging Indy for the title of world's greatest queue.
Where are the breakthrough rides I thought were coming?
Forbidden Journey. Better than Spidey. Better than Indy. Better than Tower.
That hurts to say, because I have long been of the opinion that Indy was the best ride on the planet. FJ edges it out.
One quick service where there could be adorable table service concepts too. Universal doesn't seem to like table service much.
One word: Mythos :slurp:. Named best Theme Park Restaurant in the world for something like six years in a row. Disney can't touch it on this coast. Out west, Blue Bayou comes close. (33 doesn't count.) Uni also offers Lombard's, Finnegan's and Confisco Grille
Now I was wondering if anyone heard if there were plans eventually to add to WWOHP, whether it be food, stores, rides, etc. in the wake of the FLE.
Yes. If they could already start building, they would.
Sinbad's future isn't too bright. Same for the rest of Lost Continent.
Because for potter to have the most impact it really needs to expand and add much more stuff for younger guests.
Potter will expand. It's a matter of
when not
if.
Second, the Tom Skaggs rumor is still just that, a rumor.
No. It's fact. I heard it first hand from someone who was/is involved.
I also think the FLE scares the crap out of the potter fanatics for reasons I have already covered.
No.
The only people scared of FLE are:
-MK ops, worrying about getting a halfway decent number of rugrats through those M&Gs every hour.
-Folks who want some of that FL money to go elsewhere, where it is more needed.
