Can they use the 2 months downtime to reprogram the ride to just entirely bypass the party hologram sequence? This is one of the only rides to ever exist that would benefit from an entire scene just being turned off and mothballed completely. Would save them a few bucks not having to constantly...
The timing on this ride has been off since they did the 9-month long "brain transplant" back in 2022 where the computer systems were replaced. Somehow in those 9 months they still couldn't manage to replicate the ride experience. The launch is now noticeably slower to me as well. Still blows my...
I'm hearing the entrance to Seuss Landing (broken for around 3 years and counting) is "a test" to see how long the company can ignore something before repairing it.
It's also possible guest surveys show people dislike entrances and Universal decided removing half of the entrance (thereby making...
The hideous tents at the front directly behind the cheap Dreamworks sign are even worse than the Trolls cutouts. Both are strange given the rest of the land looks pretty immersive otherwise. I have to imagine those tents are temporary?
It's been 7 months since opening and this hilariously simple mural is still not finished. No major changes since early December. This is giving Simpsons concrete work / Revenge of the Mummy "soft-opening" vibes. I know they're building a theme park down the road but are deadlines no longer a...
I'm rather amused it took them this many months to bring back a shaking animatronic that still looks terrible. This is better than nothing obviously but I'm just baffled that much time was spent on basically reskinning the same exact thing that looks this dated. Oh well.
I assume they officially cut the "Illumination" sign on the blue Transformers wall since we're now into November? I must say having visited the park a few times without it, maybe they just decided it would be too intrusive when viewed from New York? As of now the blue wall kind of just...
Clearly the solution to Fast & Furious being an atrocity for 5+ years is to just remove the 3D component of other more successful attractions. Remember when that was their solution back when it opened? :lol: I'm still worried Gringotts is next because some very low-functioning executive keeps...
The online maps (both interactive and PDF) still don't show Minion Cafe, Villain-Con, or Minion Land in general on them. Are the employees running the website just completely inept or are they considering the decision of zoning "Hollywood" Rip Ride Rocket as "New York" ? :poop:
How hard is it...
Things breaking and needing repairs is totally fine and normal for theme park attractions but I feel like lately it's taking 6 months to a year (or more) for simple things to be repaired. The entire outdoor portion and lead-up to the door opening is kind of a big deal and on par with the...
I think the fact that it's just a label on the map makes it even more egregious because it costs zero dollars and requires zero effort (other than using your brain for 2 seconds) to change the name of that area to something that makes sense (Hollywood Bowl or Music Plaza). It just shows someone...
