Ugh my imagination runs wild with the potential of a gyrosphere ride...
They REALLY wanted it to work. The film division was pushing on them hard to get something that even remotely resembles it into the parks, and even that concept didn't work out.They couldn’t get a gurosphere concept going for Beijing. We can’t infinitely woulda shoulda coulda.
The JW/JP looks also are not working for me, I just can’t imagine it doesn’t get the full JW treatment eventually. It makes sense pre or during Covid to have phased it I guess, but we need it. It’s beginning to look weird imo and a tad out of place. Ready to be in the minority
Jurassic is Jurassic. It's a bad take to call half of the entire franchise a fad, when the movies break box office records and sell a boatload of merchandise. I'm not sure why everyone has such a fractured view on it. Jurassic World may be a soft reboot, but it is literally a sequel to JP, TLW, and JPIII as well. We're in the same universe, nothing has been retconned- only fleshed out. Just because it may not resonate with JP's target audience doesn't mean JW doesn't resonate with the 21st century's version of the same target audience.JURASSIC PARK is the movie with the proven longevity, influence, and "beloved classic" status.
JURASSIC WORLD is the current fad. It may eventually have some longevity, but until such time, I think it makes sense to still lean on some JP influence.

The fact of the matter is, it's one franchise. Park and World are not mutually exclusive, and it makes sense that Universal is representing both parts of it.
Only part directed at you was me taking issue with calling Jurassic World a fad. I apologize if it seemed otherwise. I've started to get a lil triggered by constant ragging on JW like it isn't the best, and most coherent JP sequel. Calling it a "fad" would imply it's not leaving lasting cultural significance, and I wholeheartedly disagree. I did however agree with you that it makes sense for them to lean on JP and JW(being the sixth highest grossing movie of all-time, one could argue it deserves more representation than it's getting)You're refuting claims I didn't make, and reading into my comments things that weren't there.
Fair enough. Imagine something like this design on a train though View attachment 13785
Knock out JPRA and build the JW dark ride from Beijing and an RMC clone of Zadra
Bourne Stuntactular says hi, as well.Once again, it really feels like Universal is flexin' when it comes to recent additions. It's one thing to put in something like Hagrid, which is a smash hit. But to follow up that up in IOA with this? This could very well be one of the better One-Two Punch additions I've seen in a while.
