I doubt they will

Maybe not, but then that does kind of limit what they can do with the "riding dragons" concept. I don't think just a coaster would do it justice. But we'll see.

I generally dislike theater style simulators. Looking over and seeing a fleet of Deloreans or sync seats like FoP ruins the effect for me. I think Fallon pulls it off ok though.

I mean, personally I don’t think FoP pulls off the “riding” simulation well at all, so I think a coaster or a Robo coaster would be better

 

[belloq87]

If they could do some kind of next-level coaster/dark ride hybrid in a massive (and I mean massive) showbuilding, swooping in and around elaborate sets, that could be very impressive.

It would also be massively expensive.

I think FOP is about as good a ride as you can make using the general theater-simulator concept. I don't know how it could be realistically topped at this point.

Universal has their hands full if they're going to take this approach with HTTYD.

They better not make HTTYD a simulator, or god so help me....

Could've/should've been Gringotts!

Yeah a coaster/dark ride seems like the best option.

Obviously ive been a big fan of Pandora from the beginning
I love the setting because its so different from other theme park lands. I would never compare Gringotts to FOP because they are both different experiences same with Kong its like comparing steak to strawberry Pie to me both incredible experiences but in a different way. The artistry of the land is what makes it a special theme park land from day to night and the changes some small some not not make it a complete land. If NRJ would ve been a 6 minute ride with a drop the land would be that much better but thats just my opinion because DAK needed a kids ride. FOP was needed at this park because its indoors and air conditioned, and its thrilling in a different way. Satuli is also an incredible counter service perfect for what the park needed ( i could make an argument that DAK has the best food on property (or at least the best counter service food)
So when i look at the land as a whole i say quality E ticket, great execution of theme, really good food bottom line its been a pretty big success.

additionally it got people to DAK and kept them there into the evening

Not to tangent, but HTTYD should be ET + Forbidden Journey

Or just Forbidden Journey. lol

 

[belloq87]

I would hope they wouldn't just "clone"/retheme Forbidden Journey for an attraction at the same resort. I'd like to see that ride remain unique in the parks, and not become a Spidey/Transformers or Kong/F&F situation.

Good luck with that.

Looking at the last few weeks of Touring Plan 'observed' stand by line times of Navii River Journey and Flight of Passage, Navii lines are generally 10 to 20 minutes longer than FOP's. I'm guessing that's testament to how low Navii's capacity is.

Why.

 

[ProColor]

Why.

When I first saw this I thought it was something disney did, and I was going to make a joke about getting into the horror business to compete with uni. Now, I'm just scared.

Edit: I read taking as talking. Woops. Now I just feel silly

 

[Disneyhead]

Ok, that's creepy and weird.

the girl or the baby? the video is cringe worthy

Some very very strange ones out there that just snort way too much dust.....Like the guy in his 20's-30's sitting next to me on Slinky last week. As soon as the ride started he pulled out some oversized Mickey Ears and put them on. Then he proceeded to narrate the entire ride in detail, loud enough for everyone to hear, in his best Toy Story cowboy impression......I'd guess these are the types that get on theme park forums and loudly denounce anything Universal does, without visiting the Universal parks themselves.

Now that's creepy!
