Universal's New Park/Site B Blue Sky Thread

I've often enjoyed a Duff porter sitting at the brewery where I can hear the laugh track from the twirl n hurl.

A few well themed flat rides in a theme park are fine with me. They provide kinetic energy. I enjoy Kang & Kudos, One Fish, Dumbo at MK, Seuss Carousel. I wouldn't want to see more than three or four in a new park though.

A few. Like two or three. But when it gets to four, or five, or six, then it gets excessive (looking at you, BGT)
 


I know some of you may not like this suggestion, but can we have the hub look a little like the entrance to Hersheypark? And maybe have some of Hersheypark's landscaping as well? I know we can't have the backdrop (CURSE YOU, BEAUTIFUL PENNSYLVANIA!) but it would be nice to have something like it.

I've been there a number of times and I don't think it's a particularly attractive park, short of the outside zoo area. It's kind of a jumbled mess that doesn't have any cohesion. BGW, Cedar Point, King's Island are all tens of times better looking parks. I surely wouldn't want the new park to have any of Hershey Park's features. ....Now, BGW, that's a beautiful park. Winding tree lined paths through the wooded hills to connect the various lands.

It's a shame Florida doesn't have...hills. :lol:

I've been to Kings Island, and from what I can see in the video (excluding the areas surrounding the waterpark), Hersheypark looks much better.

In fact, I would probably go to Hershey over parks like USF, BGT, Kings Island, Seaworld, and any Six Flags park.
 
Okay, maybe not a regional park. But it's still on the lower tier of theme parks. It's lower than BGT, imo. Probably on the same level as BGW.

That's not what I was getting at. More that some rides are okay some places, but not others.

(BGW is also a better park than most of Orlando's theme parks, but that's another story for another thread)

Universal is a top-tier theme park, known for creating state-of-the-art dark rides and themed areas. They also have a lot more money than Hershey, a lot more space, and better attraction designers. What advantages does Hershey have? A better geographic location and surroundings, the Hershey brand. That's it. Hershey has an excuse. Plus, a decent amount of Hershey's flats are classics, which gives them a reason to have them around. Universal's would be brand new.

Agreed.

Right. Which is why they could totally come up with flat rides that are innovative and in-theme.

I don't see how that'd be a reason not to build them.

Why not use the space and designers you have to create something other than flats? They can design play areas, kiddie dark rides, kiddie coasters, shows, walk-through attractions, anything other than flats. Flat rides are cheap, and belong at lower tier parks.

I don't see how that'd be a reason not to build them.

That'd be a reason not to build them because they could do something much better with their time.
