Universal to debut 'Virtual Line' April 6

[JT3000]

USF needs to shove "Wicked" into Fear Factor with a West End Theater facade, like yesterday.

With Beetlejuice closed and soon Animal Actors, they need a high capacity, and popular show to suck up the crowds.

They need to either renovate or rebuild the theater before doing anything else with it. It's not up to par in its current state. But whatever they do with it, they'd also need to keep it available for HHN.

One theater for Fallon and no space to build a proper queue. That is why they came up with the reservation only idea. They have been testing reservations only at Pteranodon Flyers for months now and I guess it went well because they are expanding virtual line testing.

With only one theater, you're looking at barely 600-700 pph, which place it in bad company with Crush Coaster in Paris for lowest capacity flagship attractions.

What makes you think Fallon has one theatre?

Good sources and the fact the building was not expanded.

Ask your good sources to take a look at the building plans. There are two theaters back to back. Slightly less capacity than Soarin' had for years with two when they made you wait in that godawful line.

I guess we will see in about a week or two when this softs

Oh, and by the way the Fallon ride is opening April 6th so does look like both Universal big projects will open before Avatar.

Pathetic!

Where to start. If film length is the same as Soarin, it would be ~696/hr per theater theoretical and ~630/hr operational. But it will likely be less time so that number should go up. But that number will be double because it's two theaters, not one. Your source is mistaken- likely because they are just testing one theater currently.

And then you put the cherry on top calling this a "flagship attraction". Not even close. There is one flagship- and it's on the opposite side of USF. This is a D at best.

I have had multiple sources state it is one theater and the ride manufacturer, DyMoRides states they are working on a custom ride system for a classic flying theater. Those are their words directly and it implies a single ride system. Things may have changed between building plans but so far that's the word I hear out of that project. http://www.dymorides.com/ under References and you will see the mention of a project for a leading Orlando Theme Park.

All you have to do is look at the building plans.........

Or you could wait a couple of weeks.

Or you could look back at the construction photos
