I would think Uni could do a Jurassic World resort pretty easily, and they actually own the property.I’m guessing Uni watches and sees what fails here and gets it right with a happy potter version.

Universal has the Jurassic World Kids suites in Sapphire Falls. Scroll downI would think Uni could do a Jurassic World resort pretty easily, and they actually own the property.
the actual “safari” ride that was the entire premise of the original Jurassic Park would have been cool. But roller coaster.I would think Uni could do a Jurassic World resort pretty easily, and they actually own the property.
As of August, 2021, there were over 1600. It's a bit expensive for a beta program (~$800 + $100/mo). But, I really like the idea.
I'm not amongst those rooting for this to fail as I'm honestly indifferent to the whole concept. To answer the poster you were responding to, though, I'm also not particularly invested in it succeeding even if the venture does involve Disney innovating in terms of themed experience. The reason is that I did not become a fan of Disney because they created boutique experiences for small groups that cost a fortune. If this succeeds and Disney continues to go down that road, they'll just be going further away from what drew me to Disney in the first place.The trouble is, this is an experience for a small number of people. That's one of my complaints about this. The Void was a unique Star Wars experience accessible to all. If the Starcruiser is a success I hope they consider ways to provide this type of experience to the masses. Someone who balks at the full "cruise" experience might be willing to take part in a half day experience for example.
Unfortunately that's the road they want to go down. If you can't afford a boutique experience, Disney doesn't want you.The reason is that I did not become a fan of Disney because they created boutique experiences for small groups that cost a fortune.

In practice, that would be a lesser Dinosaur. It’s hard to add suspense with dino robots in open air. So Dinosaur is indoors with dim lighting and River Adventure moves indoors with dim lighting. Velocicoaster has a few dinos you fly past but they don’t scare you, exactly.T

I have to say, for all the corners Jurassic Park backed Disney into when building their own Dinosaur ride, Universal never really hit a home run with the property.In practice, that would be a lesser Dinosaur.

Even the Jurassic Park/World movies move to nighttime and/or indoors to add suspense.
The Velocicoaster is epic. Great theming in the queue and the ride is really really great!I have to say, for all the corners Jurassic Park backed Disney into when building their own Dinosaur ride, Universal never really hit a home run with the property.
The creative potential for a ride based off the Jurassic Park premise is off the charts; you'd think a big, epic Jurassic Park ride could easily land in the Top 10 themed attractions worldwide if they'd just commit. Instead they're all kind of weird and surprisingly lame given the subject matter. Imperfect though it is, I'd take Disney's "Dinosaur!" over them any day.
Probably worth noting that I haven't ridden Velocicoaster, so it's excluded from this - but that's also very clearly trying to do something different from what I'm talking about here.
#1 according to *TPI* but what do their readers know?The Velocicoaster is epic. Great theming in the queue and the ride is really really great!
Uh, ok…#1 according to *TPI* but what do their readers know?
I didn't disagree with you......Uh, ok…
Mine is based on actually riding it.
Best roller coaster in Florida, in my top 10 steel coasters (I lost count but I’ve been on over 300 of them.)The Velocicoaster is epic. Great theming in the queue and the ride is really really great!
They were going to add a second big ride to the Jurassic Park Island after opening. It was to be a indoor Jeep ride.The creative potential for a ride based off the Jurassic Park premise is off the charts; you'd think a big, epic Jurassic Park ride could easily land in the Top 10 themed attractions worldwide if they'd just commit.

They built the control tower from the ride for the VC build, someone still has this art on their wallsPlus there were plans for a motion simulator themed after a Helicopter tour, which was referenced in concept art and is still present in the model of the island, Isla Adventura, in the River Adventure line.
