Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure Construction Discussion

Your never going to beat Disney at their own game. It’ll never happen. No one has ever beat Disney in the Theme Park game in anything. Glares at Harry Potter.....:thumbsup:

That’s exactly my point...UOR “beat” Disney by appealing to a demographic they hadn’t. Going toe to toe will be much more difficult. I’m not saying it couldn’t Happen, but its unlikely. Magic kingdom still crushes IOA in attendance, regardless of Potter. So it’s not even a good arguement in the first place.

...They quietly break world records. :stun:

What record does that length beat? Its not even in the top 10 for steel coasters, or am I missing something?

Worlds longest Multi-Launch coaster, which as of the moment until opening..is Taron.

Ok, so Imagine if IOA had some rides that were accessible to more people (on top of it’s existing rides and appeal). Not just little kids, but the older demographic as well. The park could easily increase their attendance by millions by putting a Spongebob themed area + another IP, for example.

Well yeah and Magic Kingdom can do other stuff to round out too but they're not. This is just some hypothetical, off topic, pointless circular discussions? If we want to talk about what ifs lets go to the 4th Park Blue Sky thread.

Anyway :topic:

LOL! Sorry, couldn't help but laugh, but this is too funny. One mod modding another mod. Please don't ban me for this comment.

I agree that it’s off topic, and had let it go until someone notable quoted me. Just needed to defend my original comment. Please move along.

This ride will blow people’s minds. There isn’t anything close to this in Florida, and no coaster this well themed to a popular IP anywhere else...it will be a huge hit.

I feel like it has a chance to be the best ride at the resort.

5500 feet easily makes it the longest coaster in Florida. I mean at that point, it enters the top 10 longest coasters in North America.

Sorry to bring this up again but it's not an all or nothing proposition. Disney has a couple thrill attractions in each park but Universal is still king of thrill. Universal needs to have more for young kids, but Disney would still be king. It's about being better rounded, not changing focus. Universal doesn't need to go head to head with Disney on this, but they already have families coming that happen to have little kids too.

Edit to hopefully help clarify my point. It's not to attract people who prefer Disney anyway, rather reduce the detraction for families who want to go to Universal. You know what I mean, a family can't drop their 5yo off at Disney when everyone else wants to go to Universal instead.

Nick calls me out too. No one is better than another.

Not sure why people compare Disney and Universal so much - they're completely different companies that do things in very different ways.

However I think Islands is the only one they have that is even slightly comparable. They need some more dark rides, for sure though.

I'm super excited for this ride - although i'm visiting at the end of May and we leave 3 days before this ride is due to open. Praying for soft openings.

Oh my gosh thank you it’s get so annoying with the competition type posts like is everything a response to something the other does.

That’s the most convincing photo I’ve seen of the US that looks like the U.K. ever.
