Its on its way but the GPS has the wrong Zip code

I know a few people who can't stand HP and love Forbidden Journey.

My wife loves Harry Potter and hates FJ. Everybody's different.

Definitely transformers. I found this on twitter posted by someone named Exprcoofto

Haha, that's awesome. Nice scoop DK

 

[captainkidd]

Well, Transformers is a hell of a lot more immersive than LWTL haha

It depends on what you consider immersive. I find the Transformers movies incredibly boring.

I wonder if WDW will have an answer to this, or just preted it didn't hppen like Disney did when WWoHP was announced

They'll probably announce something like "Free parking for the first 100 visitors at the Magic Kingdom Day" or something to that effect.

I hate my wife and Brussel sprouts, but I quite like Forbidden Journey

Could this not have been done on purpose? It seems like such a stupid mistake to make!

I'm hoping it's Kong!

And you find gardening thrilling?

Sorry, you're not making a very strong point.

People rarely inspect the developer's page code.. it's usually just sloppiness because the web dev may know little (or care little) about what they are actually building the site for.

But if you're not interested in the story, how immersive can it be? If you don't like Harry Potter, then Forbidden Journey is probably a bore to you.

it's my favorite ride in US parks and I dislike harry potter

Thrilling? No. But I find the subject matter more interesting than anything Michael Bay could possibly come up with.

Transformers is actually a long line of action figures, cartoons and comics, and they're pretty great and have a lot of followers.

The ride doesn't follow the plot of the "okay" Michael Bay films anyways.

I am in the same boat as you regarding the Bay films and have never really more than aware that Transformers exists, but I found the ride to be fun.

You find plants more interesting than alien cars fighting to save the earth.. i hope you aren't being literal

Let me put it this way - I'd rather spend 2.5 hours riding Living With The Land than watching a Transformers movie.

what about riding a transformers ride?

 

[scoobygirl39541]

I hate HP and I don't love or hate FJ. If we have time for it, great, if not, oh well. Basically, it's not a priority. Just makes me wish they used this technology on something other than HP.

How? A great ride stands on its own merits, not the tie in.

Potter films are so-so to me. FJ is awesome.
Loved the TF films, will love the ride.

But each to their own.

Exactly! I loved the first Mummy movie, didn't like the second or third but LOVE the ride! I like Potter well enough but was BLOWN AWAY by Forbidden Journey. I don't like the Simpsons but really like the ride. Not every ride has to be of a franchise you love. Sometimes a great ride Is a great ride regardless of the theme or franchise behind it.

The strength of an intellectual property tie-in can help, but it isn't everything. Raise your hand if you've even seen Song of the South, much less love it. I haven't. Splash Mountain is still one of my favorite attractions (although maybe not in its current condition.)
