Was really hoping for the Kung Fu panda attraction that Hollywood has taking over the old Barney Theater rather than just the dance show they did previously..

It won't be the same show as the old Dreamworks Destination show. I don't know what exactly it'll be but it's not the same. There will be a Kung Fu Panda show (kind of, it's an interactive experience like Turtle Talk With Crush) in the Kung Fu Panda section.

I mean yes it's a Zamperla Roller Skater, Barnstomers theming is better but they could have added some more Trollesque theming through that ride...let alone character cutouts or something..

Did anyone else's ears start bleeding while listening to this or was it just me?

Okay I hate to be negative but I do have an immediate critique - this is an area where very clearly the ground should be the brown concrete or whatever that mimics dirt. Instead they went for standard grey asphalt, and, even worse, painting the ground, which looks tacky every time.
In general, Universal is not very good at making the ground look nice. Before you say "it's just the ground, who cares?" - it is 1/3rd of your field of vision most of the time.

Could you imagine if Disney came out with this "land" as their summer offering?! This looks beyond cheaply done.

Maybe if you count this as their only summer offering but then that's also ignoring the 2 new shows and summer parade. Oh, and also the fact they are building a whole new theme park down the street. This land isn't anymore cheaply done than something like Storybook Circus, and actually I would welcome with open arms if Disney did something like this because they need more smaller offerings and updates to flesh out the parks and keep them up to date than just 1 big ride every year.
Ummm … I am no storybook circus fan(I am not the demographic however)but I don’t think anyone can honestly say that is just as cheap looking as the new dreamworks land even the Barnstormer with it’s minimal theming Is not as barebones as the troll coaster

Facts. Not even playing a Trolls song on the lift. Even the Woody Woodpecker coaster had a sound effect. The entire land it just "hit this button, make a sound." People would be going wild if Disney called this a new mini land regardless of its target audience. I am not spending $100+ for my kid to go into an amusement park for them to play on a playground.

Ok well Storybook Circus doesn't have an Animatronic and DreamWorks Land does, it doesn't have a show and DreamWorks Land does, it doesn't have a turtle talk with crush type attraction and DreamWorks land does, it doesn't have specialty food and DreamWorks does. We can keep making selective comparisons all day, but the fact is that both projects were a similar size and scope, and something both companies need to be doing more of.

I think you're proving that both projects are not of the same size and scope. Storybook Circus is not a land but rather a neighborhood of Fantasyland. Dreamworks is literally an entire "LAND." If you want to compare it to a land, compare it to Toy Story Land which beats the heck out of it.
