The studios park 's only saving grace is Diagon Alley, The Mummy, and Men and Black. the rest of the attractions are the same old simulator with a different film.

The thing is screens don't suck. It's just the crazy amount of them that almost overwhelms you and, when in line for the ride makes you say "3D again?" or something like that.It's funny hearing all the comparisons back to Disaster.
It makes you reflect back to why that attraction stands out.
It was part of the attraction style that actually immersed you into a movie and be a part of it.
Not let you watch a it on a screen as you drive by. By no means am I trying to bring up the screens suck debate for the infinityth time.
I actually like USF much more than IOA, despite the fact that it goes against my own personal distaste for USF's current imbalance. I love Spider-Man, FJ and Hulk, but those are really the only rides I care about over there. CitH is fine since it's always a 5 min wait, but it's not what it used to be. Kong is a decent ride, but not worth the waits and I don't like water rides, so the park having three of them just turns me off. Storm Force is pretty fun for what it is.not to go off topic, but I agree that IOA is a much better park. Although I dislike shooting arcade rides, so Men in Black is low on my priority list.
I know this board seems to hate roller coasters for some strange reason, but I like HRRR a lot, as well as the Mummy. Everything else is just ok. Diagon is an incredible "land", but it's main attraction is too reliant on screens for thrills.
From Brian Frank,
I thought it looked like the walls were down in that photo.
Still TM previews today though. Hope it goes well so it can soft tomorrow (Monday at the latest I’m guessing.)
Exclusive softs. That’s be interesting.TM previews till 4pm, park closes at 6pm, there is Grad Bash tonight. I could see it opening for Grad Bash.

The rides on their own (aside from F&F) at all at least pretty good all around experiences. I wouldn't necessarily call Fallon that great of a ride, but the experience overall is passable on it's own. But when you keep going from one 3D/screen ride to the next, it just becomes a lot of the same.
I think the screens debate has been misunderstood for quite awhile.
