[Streetway Again]

There are already so many things in the works now. We have a slate of new attractions that are already in development for every one of our parks. We're already planning for the next thing at Epic". So we know that all the parks are getting updates in the next few years, including Epic

“Yes, we know USF needs work”

They remain committed to their new attraction at every resort every year lan. The problem is stuff like DreamWorks Land, a cheap project initiated to just do something.

“Yes, we know USF needs work”

“Needs work” is an understatement.

Alright everyone. Universal Florida is about to get a massive overhaul. You know what that means.

What beloved older attraction is going to be next to bite the dust?

And no, I wouldn’t call Simpsons and RRR “beloved”

I mean the only one left really is Et. Maybe men in black counts?

I will always be DreamWorks Land's biggest defender. It's better themed than KidZone, more relevant and designed for Kids, who enjoy the area. Not every addition has to be a headliner, sometimes you need spaces for kids to have fun whilst giving the adults a break

I mean, this was only meant in jest relating to universal’s past with Kong, jaws, and back to the future, but i could see MiB going eventually. It’s a dying franchise, that doesnt sell much merch anymore, and takes up a large space of land next to fear factor!

I mean the only one left really is Et. Maybe men in black counts?

Also the mummy? But i hope that day is far away.

At least we know that the next project for Studios is Rip Ride Rockit's replacement. We know that Lost Continent's replacement should be the next update for IoA, it's just whether the theme will still be Zelda or if this is where Wicked is going to get some attractions?

I guess. I don’t really consider it a classic myself but YMMV.

The entire back corner from Simpsons to the Fear Factor Stage and the backstage areas they can claim for the park because of the new backstage stuff at epic along the Fast and Furious area and Diagon.

They have moved a lot of the back of office stuff to the backside of epic along Sand Lake Road for a reason. Same for the existing lost continent area (which can benefit from the reclaimed backstage space at IOA, and Toon lagoon.

Also Volcano Bay has the expansion area, but it's still more space limited than the rest.

Many reports of Monsters Unchained being one of the best dark rides ever created, if not THE best. Queue and preshow sound like attractions on their own.

Can confirm all points.

Can confirm all points.

Is it like “HHN” scary? Not really a haunts guy but hyped for this ride. Gonna ride it, but should i sorta prepare for that level of scares?

 

[ToTBellHop]

Had a friend tell me Stardust Racers is fun but rougher than he expected, and certainly rougher than Velocicoaster. Anyone else hear similar?

Not as rough as Hulk, though.

Ahhh, Mack Produckt.

So I may or may not have just booked a trip down to Orlando this summer for EU (with money I definitely may not have)

How can you afford these things, especially at your age lol

Keeping things vague on purpose, but the queue had a certain… familiar vibe.

It got me once, but no - definitely not that level of scary. The queue has to serve its purpose, so naturally, there's less room for that kind of intensity. But the overall direction? Yeah, I can see the inspiration.

The lead creative for monsters unchained is Gregory Hall (aka G Prodigy), he also worked on the Hagrids, and some parts of nintendo work, as well as the Hulk Redo and especially Velocicoaster, his (and his team's) track record is getting up there among the greats.

You'll have to strategize. Maybe pay for VIP?

So much for “taking it in” I guess. I dislike how you have to plan out every day at a park, I miss just being able to relax, and be spontaneous!
