DreamWorks Land (General Discussion)

[MrRoamer]

it’s not like that at all? if people are willing to wait in a long queue for an attraction, that’s at least /a/ measure of popularity. what you’re talking about is completely different.

Agreed I exaggerated this quite a bit apologies on that. I just meant to say there is more to a ride having a long line == it is very popular

Oh, definitely. Just like it’s more to it than having a long line = low capacity. We’re in the same boat

I’m surprised that Universal isn’t retheming the SpongeBob store to Dreamworks

They should keep those marketable characters and merch items around for as long as that license lets them imo.

Just because they aren't now doesn't mean it won't happen. I wonder if maybe after the new year we see the store close for a retheme.

I could also see them redoing the exteriors of the bathrooms, Kidzone Pizza, and SpongeBob after the land opens. I’d be happier if it started in Jan though. Based on the concrete work, Universal seems done with the star motif.

Dreamworks deserves its own store. I can’t imagine the SpongeBob stores gets that much traffic outside the Meet N Greets.

It's a smaller location, but I always see a good number of groups in there whenever I pop in, even without Patrick out front to draw them inside. It's well themed, has a ton of fun merch, and the music loop is energetic and inviting. Dreamworks will get the store in time, but I think cutting Spongebob and Nickelodeon from the resort pre-contract expiration is a poor logistical move.

Yeah, this is of course only anecdotal data, but the general public loves Spongebob. Everytime someone I kinda know on Facebook drops a bunch of photos from their Universal trip, there's usually a few shots of them posing with the props and sets inside the store.

The theming in that store is first class, one of the best at Universal. It always seems to have more people visiting than the Hello Kitty store. Kids and even young adults seem to really love the characters.

Looks like new aerials are coming from Bio!

Those Trollercoaster colors are the perfect shade of bright.

Better look at the Trollercoaster's color scheme:

Gosh-- it's amazing how a coat of paint can really change things! Much more cheerful color choices.

It's taking shape pretty quickly. I'm glad a lot of the existing landscaping seems to be staying, too.

I know we've known it was going to be a retheme for a long while, but even knowing that i'm a little disappointed at them not really doing much with the Curious George area it seems. Same pig, add lipstick. I'm sure the area will look nice which is at the very least an aesthetic improvement to bring the area out of the 90's. It's not aimed at me anyways.
