Race Through NY Starring Jimmy Fallon

Yes, I'm sure the Transformers films are really upset they keep getting bad reviews.

the robots weren't but I don't think Shia or Megan Fox were too happy..ha ha.

 

[Viator]

I don't think you've read the reviews then.

I have. And I believe that humor is very subjective to opinion, and that I am willing to give it a chance.

 

[rhino4evr]

:ban:

sure!

 

[LJGonz]

I hope so to, but my expectations are currently in the basement. At least the fascade makes the NY area look 100.

From what I've seen and read so far, it seems to be a significant upgrade over Twister.

Extremely debatable!

Twister was a unique experience in the park's attractions lineup. Race Through New York appears to be more helpings from the Minion Mayhem/Simpsons playbook. If some people like that, they'll probably like the attraction. If other people are growing antsy with the simulator approach, they might not necessarily think that, by default, it's better than Twister.

But then again, I always really liked Twister, so I'm biased!

I think this is a very dark and depressing time for universal. Fallon turns out to be a flop (major), we're getting another basic Kong ride, and a water park is being considered a theme park. Dark times indeed...

2005 called, they'd like to contest your insane overreaction.

I was being over dramatic for humor. I'm pretty bummed that the past few attarctions have been flops. Calm down.

I think it really depends on what they expect too. I remember with Twister the common complaint was "Wait, this isn't a ride?". Funnily enough, during yesterday's wait, I heard people say "Wait, this is a ride?"

Your humor isn't reading well then. Bit of advice - hard to tell people's emotions through text. Use smileys and such to help convey your thoughts better so there is no confusion.

I'm honestly just as excited for Nintendo land as I am for Star Wars land. Also Volcano Bay looks amazing, and Im not even a huge water park guy.

 

[GAcoaster]

I just reserve judgement on ALL of it until I see it.

I am not a Fallon fan or a hater, but I'm sure this is a decent "filler" attraction. I'll try it once, and probably never do it again until family comes to visit from NJ.

I'm just tired of people badmouthing attractions that haven't even been finished being built, let alone them having actually experienced. Until YOU ride it, you have no right to voice your dislike of it.

You make me insane.

In your eyes- everything sucks that you don't like. What do you like, someone might ask? Oh- you know- unrealistic things like removing the dragon in FJ and replacing it with a basalisc to go with the plethora of unrealistic ideas you suggest. If we had an imagineering and daydreaming thread- you'd be in heaven.
Back in the real world, we try to discuss realistic things and have more objective opinions. I know you're young- but you have to step back and observe sometimes.

I think this is an interesting point. If there wasn't already so much screenz, would this ride rate better?

happens all the time on theme park boards

 

[GAcoaster]

^yes it does, and it's the same people over and over...

 

[Cheezbat]

I'm at the park right now and they currently are not doing softs.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

As a heads up, Express bypasses the ticket return system, you still have to get a color and wait.

Parkscope podcast going up in a few with Brian and myself, find it on our site and look for it on twitter.

I actually wanted to replace the whomping willow and add an animatronic basilisk. It's not impossible, and I have stated many realistic and well thought out ideas. Also, a lot of people are complaining about F&F and Fallon as well. It's not just me. If I make you insane just because of the reasons you stated, then don't listen to what I have to say.

I'm at the park right now and they currently are not doing softs.

And with the parade starting they won't for at least 30 minutes now. I'm hoping for 4. I can't stay too late tonight.

UC is also somewhat in charge of entertainment but multiple entities have their hands in that pot.

Is UC in charge of entertainment? I thought that was a separate entity

Hashtag is through Universal. Ragtime Gals are third party.

I look forward to it. I've just started listening to Parkscope again now that I've had a bit more time to listen.
