Fully aligned on the fact that the park needs more real things to do and how DLP handles temporary additions. Though are you feeling confident that we will actually see something else substantial being added before the 2030s?
After the flume personally I don’t see anything being added anytime soon. Hope I’m wrong (still dreaming of Rise!)

The attention to detail in the new lake is absolutely stunning. I agree - this is still an area where WDI tends to outshine Universal. That said, the Jurassic World aesthetic is built around human intrusion into nature, so the more artificial look might actually be intentional.

Not to over litigate it. But JP is as you said a theme park intruding into a beautiful natural setting. That’s not what they built. They built a man made concrete lake and stuck rocks randomly on the concrete wall. It’s highly inorganic. It doesn’t appear like the barrier carves through natural pre-existing rock formations, it looks bedazzled with fake rocks.

Nice that they're concerned about capacity. But... hear me out... put in two of them.

That would probably be overkill for a flat ride. Silly Symphony never has a wait in a much more attended park.

I’ll point to Epic as well and its carousel waits despite the park being woefully under capacity for demand. You don’t need 2k throughput on most flat rides.

Agreed. I've not done the maths but it feels like the wave swinger will be at the top end of capacity for a Disney flat ride so no need for two.

Not sure why they couldn’t have added a fountain package to the wave swinger. Maybe something more subtle than this, but certainly elevates the ride several notches.



Literally everything they’ve announced, with maybe the exception of Lion King, feels very half baked. This goes all the way back to Avengers campus and the terrible Spiderman ride, which is in my opinion the single worst Disney ride, for what it is, that I’ve ever been on.

You haven't ridden crush's coaster then ?

Oh I’d go on that every day over Spiderman which is a once done never again experience for me.

It’s dreadful, given the source material they had to work with (and universals effort 20 years prior)
And I would be the other way round. I would take crush's coaster out even if it was replaced by a dance party. Worst coaster I have ever ridden.

I'm interested to hear some pushback on Crush's Coaster, to be honest! Beyond the capacity, that is.

I quite like it, but I do think they could surely do something better in terms of theming once you get into the main coaster part which is supposed to the EAC. If that ever goes down for an extended refurb, I would like to see them try and make it look less obviously like a coaster in a big building with lights, projects, and some mesh-type material here and there.

On the other hand, its popularity already far outstretches capacity, so why would they bother?

Haha that’s a wild take, I’d like to invite you to try some of the coasters on offer in the UK 😂

Don’t mean to be overly negative about DLP, there’s clearly a lot of love that goes into the entertainment and upkeep, but I do find the decisions made on this park, and the timeframes involved, highly questionable.

This park needs HELP. California Adventure needed help and got it, I think this park will feel nicer but lacks substance when they could have delivered both.

2 flats and a close copy of a 10 year old ride in Epcot. A rethemed coaster (that they had to add more to) and imo a terrible Spiderman ride.

The areas look nice but the rides….sheesh.
