Universal Orlando has had a hell of a ROI from that fairly inexpensive refurbed attraction and a big money merch. store. That got a lot without spending much.

"Also known as benches". What a great line.Next they'll remove the motion so people don't get sick... LOL
Normally when it's a huge deal for the fanbase it is an emergent issue for the GPStory on this on Theme Park Insider, plus a heavily replied to Survey on 3D on rides in general. Surprisingly, the anti 3D vote was a smaller percentage than I expected (apx. 25%)
Yeah, for 25% of guests (which means it is affecting, on average, one person in a family of four) to complain about anything means there's a pretty big issue. That's not a small percentage.Normally when it's a huge deal for the fanbase it is an emergent issue for the GP
But the question (survey) doesn't refer to DM. It's about 3D in general. So does that mean because 25% of the people don't care for 3D that it should be removed from SpiderMan, Transformers etc.....Heck, if you asked about do you like riding coasters at Universal, I'll bet more than that would say they don't care for coasters. Does that mean then that there shouldn't be any coasters in the park.Or spinning flat rides. Same. I think that's flawed logic.Yeah, for 25% of guests (which means it is affecting, on average, one person in a family of four) to complain about anything means there's a pretty big issue.

They aren't getting constant complaints about coasters or spinning rides. And you don't know that DMMM didn't have a higher percentage that disliked 3D. Guest Service complaints mean a lot and UOR takes them seriously and reacts quickly to them. I'd say a higher than average percentage of guests complaining were mentioning Despicable Me for UOR to deem this change as worth it. They clearly think it will make a difference and they must've liked the response Hollywood had since the 2D conversion.But the question (survey) doesn't refer to DM. It's about 3D in general.

I don't think budget cuts were the issue hereReally don’t see what kind of cost savings this could provide to be the real reason.
And yet Fast & Furious is still unchangedVery unfortunate......Will ruin the attraction. Simpson's always made me feel queazier. No glasses, no 3D.. What a dumb move. Guess my express pass won't mean so much for this movie/ride. Too bad the 25% rules. I will add that 25% does not necessarily mean 1 child/adult out of a family of 4. May well mean a family of 4 whiners who birch about anything. Rant over.
A bit more. I visit at the "slowest" times of the year. This is ALWAYS one of the longest wait times. This is PURELY a budget cut move. Nothing more.
