Universal's New Park/Site B Blue Sky Thread

[Orlandofan12]

From the fan's PoV..

From GSAT's and everything else - the only miss has been Supercharged.

Eh, depends on your threshold for a miss. F&F was a real stinker, but Kong and Fallon weren't exactly home runs with GSATs.

Do Universal still have the rights to Ghostbusters, my memory fails me currently?

Yea, that is not the case. Kong was generally well received, and Fallon was almost at Potter levels of guest satisfaction for whatever reason.

I doubt it.

They do not.

 

[Scott W.]

They do not.

Shame as that would make a sweet shooter similar to MIB. Driving about in a small Ecto 1.

I doubt it.

Kong was received at a D-ticket level, nearly a C. Fallon was received at a D-ticket level.

Fallon wasn't a miss. It was received at the expected numbers. But, those numbers were never expected to be extremely glowing.

Kong was a miss. Guest feedback suggested that they wouldn't ride it again unless wait times were in C/D ticket ranges. When asked if they regretted waiting as long as they did for the ride, a high percentage said they did.

 

[Imperius]

I mean Kong continuously holds one of the longest lines in IOA. So it seems people enjoy riding it.

 

[Mad Dog]

Yes, Kong consistently has one of the three longest wait times at either Universal park, and it's a high capacity ride to boot. And, if I remember correctly, Fallon has the highest GSAT score at USF. The paying guests are what matters to Universal, not the people that watch You Tube videos and don't go to parks......I have yet to take a guest survey at Universal where it was asked what ticket level the attraction seems to be. That's nonsense.

 

[Imperius]

Upon current app check without knowing if it was down, it has the longest wait in the whole park at 45 mins. Double just about anything else.

That's been done as a walkthrough, both by the Void in New York and I believe Six Flags in Mexico.

This goes against every bit of information I have ...Either way, I'm not going to get into a tape measure fight. Doesn't matter about the GSATs in the Blue Sky Thread. We shall move on.

 

[Magic-Man]

What about DreamWorks? Can we get an estimated size and/or ride count?

 

[Scott W.]

That's been done as a walkthrough, both by the Void in New York and I believe Six Flags in Mexico.

That would also be great. It would be great to see Void show up in CityWalk 2.0 but I'd imagine that Disney has exclusivity for Void in Orlando and surrounding areas.

So I was thinking about the “Worlds” moniker and what the icon/hub will look like. I feel like it would be cool to have the hub be themed to a World’s Fair and maybe an icon to go along with that? A lot of the architecture and structures from some of the 50’s/60’s World Fairs are very iconic. Just create an original structure in the same vein as those.

 

[Viator]

Yea, I was just trying to keep something secret.

That's..interesting, actually.

My gut tells me somehow that it relates to Dr. Frankenstein's Laboratory, due to the importance of that location for the creation of The Creature.

 

[truejonas]

Monsters may get a big ride and a non ride “attraction” too.

A show would be nice for the ol' classics, I'd rather that over a walkthrough personally. Walkthroughs are cool the first time, a good show is cool every time.

Volcano Bay has gotten a lot of blow back though. Wonder if the new park will be "Queue less"

I'm guessing a lot of Virtual Lines will be here, but standby will remain.

Recreate the 1964 World's Fair just so the general public gets confused with which park they're in. :rimshot:

 

[Imperius]

Hub will be a futuristic travel agency. It will have gates with posters and theming of the worlds.

 

[ThrillRideLover3214]

According to screamscape apparently their have been a few more trademark filings for the fourth gate. Epic Universe and Great Movie Escape.

Would think great movie escape will be the escape room they will make sooner or later.

Which needs to happen soon because I would really like to do a major theme park escape room. Gone to The Escape Game in Orlando and their room sets were stellar. Could only imagine a UO one.

 

[Alicia]

Epic Universe is like going to be a catch all marketing term for the entire resort, when they announce new stuff on the horizon.
