Yes, the 32" and 40" height requirements will exclude some kiddies.While the theming (or decorations depending on your stance on theming) seems more kid-oriented, the two new rides seem to skew more toward "family-friendly" than "kiddie", assuming what is in the concept art is what will be built.
So it could suffer from Stiches Great Escape syndrome?
It could. Hopefully no chili burps. If it is compelling like 7DMT, it'll get lines. People will line up for any roller coaster.
If there is a height limit it could limit the demographic it was designed for - as seen in SGE. Catch 22.
Ah. Yes. Good point. Granted, the average 4-year old is 40". I would imagine this ride will provide appropriate thrill for those not tall enough for RnRC yet.
As a parent of a 7 and soon to be 3 year old, I have realized that "family friendly" doesn't always mean toddler friendly. That's okay though, as most of those rides wouldn't be enjoyed by my younger one anyway. Every ride doesn't need to be height requirement free to be family friendly. Part of the fun of each trip is seeing which new attractions my kids can experience. I also realize I'm often in the minority having brought both of my kids twice a year since birth. Many won't go until they feel their child can form memories, and by that point, most height requirements are a non-issue anyway.
That would be very welcome.
I agree here. Disney is VERY reasonable with its height requirements. Once a kid hits 40" there is only a very small number of rides they can't ride (half dozen or so). Not so at Universal. I'd love to see Diagon Alley but we are holding off til the kids are older. At least we saw Hogsmeade before they were born.
Of course, but when Little Mermaid apparently costs $80m, you need some smaller scale rides to round out a park. If we were only getting this and Star Wars, I'd be upset.
I firmly believe more is on the way. But a classic D ticket dark ride would be great for TSL.
See: Hollywood Rip Ride Rocket.
I would love to see that flying nightmare before christmas dark ride it would be great. Oh and dont worry, this isnt all, they just havent announced everything yet.
It would have to mean SERIOUS budget slash. $2.8 bn for this would require a LOT of $30000 wrenches and $50000 toilet seats.
I doubt that though, I would be really surprised if Nightmare Before Christmas is the IP they go with. I honestly don't care what theme of dark ride we get though, it just needs to be a solid people-eating omnimover
I know, I just wish Tim Burton would get more love than an overlay and a maze in Shanghai. The possibilities would be great, especially with holidays.
It is a bit shocking that the uber-successful Burton Alice in Wonderland didn't get anything at DHS. Seems like something Bob would approve of. Especially with another film or 4 on the way.
An Alice D Ticket Dark Ride and maze would be awesome where Storybook Circus is.
Underland would make a great immersive land, I believe
