It used to have a huge, powerful lunging movement. I understand how all that power is not stable and was causing a potential issue, but can't they just make the hand wave or something literally anything would be better than the sad current state. Even a couple seconds of full lighting (maybe...

I really dislike the strobe effect. I would argue that it's not a well done effect and that many people do not find it believable at all. I understand the thought behind it, but strobe lighting is very unnatural and you can hardly see him. I really think they should come up with something other...

I never understood why they couldn't do anything else with the Yeti, such as just a small arm movement only, or a burst of compressed air to move the fur at least? Also I believe FJ had way more 3D motion sickness because of the horizontal movement of the screen carousels not matching the...

Inside the Magic is reporting that the Dark Universe land will have 5 attractions. This seems different from what I've heard everywhere else. What do we think about their list of attractions? Monsters Unchained: A dark ride set in Frankenstein Manor Monstertreffen: A meet-and-greet and...

Based on the updated construction photos, does it look like guests will be able to access above ground levels in the new Wizarding World area? Would be cool if it was multi level like Nintendo land. Those buildings are so high...

Here is a full article about that electricity display patent: Link

The expansion should include one of these, or both: 1) a new ride exciting enough to compete with Krakatau, to lessen the wait time of both. Could possibly be a high capacity dark ride that could operate in a storm. Lava themed? 2) a Ride Now attraction to give you something to do while you wait...

I wonder how the DK ride will be received when it eventually opens. Will it be a short and tame "Hippogriff" type ride? Or will it seem fast and fun and adventurous compared to MK?

Correct. I believe that's why they had to stop the near-misses on DD. The cars were barreling towards each other so any loose object would do serious damage. It's much more forceful that way.

I think all the theming is well worth it. Going on coasters where it's built over pavement or gravel is so ugly...this will be lush and beautiful to look at from all angles. Since you are moving fast they can get away with statues, instead of animatronics.

The scale isn't what I expected. Not saying it's wrong, but I always imagined the karts were smaller. On the ride they seem giant (compared to the scenery) but the AR karts look small to me. oh well.

(spoilers) My reaction of MK based on the multiple POV videos: I really thought the lava bowser projection was a physical AA! There are many little moments that blew me way. Even something as simple as the AR confetti at the end really adds a lot to the ride. I think this will be a ride you...

How can they sanitize the steering wheels between each guest? I haven't been to a park since covid. Do they clean the lap bars and handles at all? Or do they think having riders sanitize their own hands is enough?

Mild spoiler based on the POV video: I wonder if the "flying" portion of rainbow road will feel like you are floating through the air instead of just the same car on a track physical feeling? Or if the movement isn't any different, it's just the visuals of the screen to give the effect. When...

It appears that the parent company of Universal theme parks only has until 2025 to create new Harry Potter based theme park attractions. According to this article, linked below. "NBCUniversal in 2016 inked a rich seven-year rights deal with Warner Bros. Domestic TV Distribution that included...

In line again now since it's still open at 4:30. 100 minute wait but I'm counting on it being faster than that!

Today I got in line for the park at 8:30, rode Hagrid twice in a row without waiting much. After that the wait was 120+ minutes for a few hours. Around noon it dipped to 85 minutes. Should have gotten in line then but I thought it might go down even more. At 1pm it was a 110 minute wait, only...

I'm going to the park Saturday morning, so I'm starting to check the wait times today to get a sense of how to plan. The park opened 20 minutes ago and the app says Hagrid's and FB are both closed. The other rides are showing wait times. Also, I'm staying at an onsite hotel but it says early...

Exactly. It's a solid basis for a land, but that doesn't even matter. People will love the end result if it's executed well with a high tech ride. For example I thought Avatar was a terrible movie, but the Pandora land is incredible and the FOP ride blew me away. It's a great land to visit even...

One day if they remake Jaws, I would love to see a stand-alone Jaws ride added to USF. But an indoor next-level dark ride similar to Pirates Shanghai. Imagine the thrill of being in an "underwater" scene with a giant shark...
