    Missing Link

    Laika's CEO is Travis Knight who is the son of one of the co-founders of Nike (who also happens to be one of the richest men in the world). To put it plainly, Laika does not need to generate massive box office revenue to keep the company afloat so long as the Knights are involved. To my...

    Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem (USF)

    Not a huge fan of this as it would only make crowding problems worse with Hollywood (now your only route to the rest of the park) being consistently mobbed. At least now if you don't intend on going directly to Production Central/New York right away you can take the Hollywood route to get to the...

    Six Flags Great Adventure

    It's actually hilarious how little they care about this park. Wonder Woman their new for 2019 ride was open for all about two weeks before blowing out its motor. Now it's been closed for a month with not a single word from Six Flags about the situation. They seem to think they are untouchable in...

    Cedar Fair Acquires 2 Schlitterbahn Parks

    Smart move by Cedar Fair. Instead of buying up as many water parks and amusement parks as possible and being left with the burden of fixing them up, like Six Flags is doing, Cedar Fair is buying proven winners here that won't require a ton of investment from them to keep them afloat. Plus...

    Disney's Hollywood Studios (General Discussion)

    That's... actually incredible. A major theme park getting a "new" attraction every few months based on the new popular flavor (IP) of the week just sounds awesome and if true, I think that this could very well be where the theme park industry is going next.

    Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

    I would say don't knock till you try it. It's a lot more intense, exciting, and exhilarating compared to most other Universal screen rides. I can't speak for others, but I was far more impressed with this ride than I thought I would be once I rode it.

    Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

    For me, I'd rather see a great queue. If this is going to be thrill coaster, then the ride would be much better served by leaving all the storytelling elements in the queue and solely focusing on making the coaster as thrilling as possible as opposed to trying to squeeze story or theming aspects...

    AT&T in Talks with Comcast about joint streaming service

    I don't think this is the best business venture for AT&T, but I could see Comcast benefiting. The article suggests that AT&T would be the one's who actually own and operate the new streaming service and Comcast would just work with them to provide/license content for that service. To be honest...

    Bold Predictions

    Production Central gets rethemed to Illumination Studios. Shrek gets replaced by a Secret Life of Pets dark ride, the classic monsters cafe gets replaced with a SING show, and the Rip Ride Rockit gets a fresh coat of paint, new songs, and gets loosely rethemed to the coaster from Super Silly Fun...

    The Meg attraction in China?

    I mean it's possible sure, but The Meg wasn't really that popular in the grand scheme of things. It brought in $143 million in the US and $153 million in China at the box office. Not bad numbers by any means, but enough to suggest it has the longevity to be relevant in a decade, I'm not sure...

    Jurassic World VelociCoaster Construction Thread (Opening June 10)

    You could absolutely make a case about how there is more money to be made from the families with young children demographic. However, Disney has a chokehold on that market and it's silly to think that Universal could make more money by trying steal market share from Disney in the families with...

    Universal's New Park/Site B Blue Sky Thread

    I completely agree with you on this. I've heard a lot of people say they hate Kong because they can see the bottom of the screens in certain parts of the ride. But honestly, I've ridden the ride multiple times and the only time I saw the bottom of the screen was when I actively was looking for...

    Universal's New Park/Site B Blue Sky Thread

    Sure, but that still doesn't make it acceptable for new rides to be thematically inconsistent. No matter which way you look at it, being thematically inconsistent is a flaw, period. It doesn't mean that MIB is a bad ride (which it isn't), but it definitely has some flaws.

    Universal's New Park/Site B Blue Sky Thread

    Honestly, I think the idea of riding alongside the dragons and their trainers from HTTYD on a hang glider would make a lot more sense thematically than riding an actual dragon. They show in the movies that riding and training a dragon is no small feat, so for us as a guest in the world to just...

    Wreck It Ralph II (2018)

    From what the trailers have shown, it seems like the Disney properties they are going to focus on are the Disney princesses. Which is a shame because they show all of those other properties (Muppets, Star Wars, Pixar, Marvel) in the "internet world" and it seems like they are not going to get...

    Halloween Horror Nights 28 General Discussion

    I think that by opening up a house or two during the regular park day, they are essentially giving guests a sample of what HHN is like. If they really enjoy those one or two houses, they may end up buying a ticket to experience the whole event, whereas if they didn't get to try out those houses...

    MSHI Expansion?

    Yeah, I 100% agree with this. The Stark Expo would be a presentation of future technology and could actually show off some realistic things we expect to have as a society in the near future (self-driving cars, etc.). What realistic future technology does GotG show off? What lesson is gonna be...
