New Park Map Design?

[UniversalCityFL]

That would be ideal. I love the UOR, but to be honest, their apps have always been crap. They need to develop something simple and effective with just park map, wait times, and showtimes.

This^^^. I think sometimes app developers forget that apps exist to solve a problem... All I wanna know when I am in a park is the three things you mentioned: How do I get to where I wanna go, How long is the wait, and what time is X happening. Although cool, the ScreenPlay augmented reality app serves no purpose. It's something nobody asked for. Millennials will be over it in a millisecond.

I have some insight on that. I will be sharing that shortly.

34 hours and counting, this is a poor definition of shortly

They definitely need a separate app that is super simple. Just a map, wait times and show times. All with a super fast load time. If they try to add in all kinds of bells and whistles it makes the original purpose less useful.

I believe as the ScreenPlay is now is basically proof of concept so to say, I think the technology would be used for interactive photo opportunities in the parks.

Except it was posted elsewhere...

Care to tell us where? Also, why would you have posted it elsewhere when this is clearly the right place to post it in the first place?

Since he would rather not repost it in the proper thread, I'll repost his information.

There's going to be a "Special Edition" park map on 6/20, and after that the new version should be rolling out, if not on that day.

I chose not to post it here, leaving it in the Stash.

Here's the "new" map. Transformers has been added but the Simpsons is unchanged and will probably remain so for a while.

Not sure if this is new or I've just never noticed it:

Gambit for the win! Here is your :thumbs: as promised.

I have never noticed the storm warning, but it is funny. Basically "Heads up, if it starts raining it is time to shop!"

 

[quickfire609]

They put that storm warning on the map every summer.

Am I missing something....or what the heck is the Fast & Furious logo doing by Mummy?

 

[ReelJustice]

^That's where they have a few cars from the film for photo-ops

Yeah, they've been there since March or so.

Just went online .Transformers added to online PDF (fear factor removed) Transformers not on interactive map. Resortwide PDF will not download.

Is fear factor on Handout park map?

Got resortwide to download No fear factor on it.

How early do they normally close it for HHN?

An interesting thing I noticed today in the office I work at. We just got the new Universal brochures that now have Transformers on them but it's what wasn't there that caught my interesting. As of now, the Lost Continent is officially not mentioned once in the whole brochure. It's not even listed as an island in the list of the IOA lands. :shrug:

Very weird...

Ok, pet peeve about Universal Park maps that I have kept silent about for YEARS. Almost all of the ride logos on their park maps are bitmapped crap-res. The logos should be vector based and clean as a whistle, meaning the file should go to print as an Adobe Illustrator document with a bitmapped background and vector logo graphics on the layer above. Just look at the fuzzy transformers logo... dreadful. Both IOA and US have this issue.

I believe the Toon Lagoon logo is one of the few that are vector printed... clean and sharp.

Until we see the new twirl n hurl ride open, the map for that area will stay the same.

I miss the old days where you didn't just see the ride name on the map, you saw what was goin down in that ride! Kongfrontation had King Kong climbing over the building, and the logo for T2 was dominated by a big T-100 shooting stuff up. My favorite logo was the old Twister one, where it had the tornado tearing up the Universal arch.
