The best one, as I mentioned before, is that Universal should learn from Disney the right way to do screens.
Yeah, Disney has a bunch of screen attractions that outdo Spider Man... which opened in 1999. And yes, I am being sarcastic.

Nope, Universal has said it's not based off of the movie....But there are similarities, unofficially of course.
Was Jackson involved? I can't remember.

Yikes. whylightbulb over at a certain "other" site just unleashed a whole bunch of negative comments about the current state of Universal Creative and how "good enough" will be the goal going forward for other Universal attractions. This comes as quite a shock to me given the success they've been having and the massive amount of money Comcast has been investing. Obviously, take everything with a grain of salt but the picture he paints is depressing indeed. :-(
He has been railing about cutbacks and low budgets at Universal for YEARS. His last pronouncement back when Kong started construction was that Volcano Bay's budget had been hacked to shreads. Does it look like VB has suffered cutbacks? Don't take him seriously, please.
He was not singing their praises during Gringotts...That makes me feel better. It's a shame because I remember him back when he was singing Universal Creative's praises during both FJ and Gringotts construction. I wonder what happened that made him change into someone with a vendetta.

I wanna be Biggie! I wanna be... oh wait.Sigh could we not start a turf war?
USA Today says Jackson helped initially. How much and how far into development, they're not saying.
Whylightbulb's criticisms are largely my own. First two scenes don't work. Not entirely because they are "screenz" but also because they do too much too quickly. A ride needs to build to its climax. How many times does Splash Mountain do a fakeout of the big drop? 4 or 5? Even Mansion, how long before you actually see ghosts?
Two rooms of physical sets, maybe some simple AAs, would do a better job of priming guests for the tunnel (which is the main event). Build a sense of foreboding, then let all hell break loose.
