Yeah, Fallon is NBC's wet dream of a host.Please say something logical... Fallon isn't going to fail. He might fall down and kill himself but he isn't going to fail at being a host any time soon.

Exactly. His two predecessors, Carson & Leno, were on for around 50 years. Except for Conan, and he barely counts, there's precedent for longevity.Please say something logical...

I wish they would have done that for despicable me.I honestly dont understand how someone, even if they are a fan of Fallon, can be supportive of this project if they have been to Universal recently. I think of myself to be an open-minded person that can see both sides of an argument but this seems to be a bad move. "Seems" because we dont really know much about the ride yet. However, since it seems it will be screen based, that's the problem. I know this doesn't apply to everyone but my brother wears glasses and wearing 3D glasses on top of his prescription lenses annoys him, especially when its so often. I'm sure others feel the same way.
I would've rather them done a "The tale of Buddy the Elf" ride and use an omnimover or slow type vehicle retelling the story of Buddy traveling from the North Pole to NYC to look for his dad.
If someone would read the article of the announcement you can see that the UC person even makes fun of getting the job.
im for it because i think it fits the NY theme and will probably be pretty funny and i think it will be a much better experience than what we have nowI honestly dont understand how someone, even if they are a fan of Fallon, can be supportive of this project if they have been to Universal recently.

I mean, if Nintendo gets 3-4 rides and none of them are screen based, it would tip the world back into balance a bit.
Because some people just don't care. If a ride is fun, it's fun, they're not freaking dissecting the portfolio of attractions at the parks. It probably wouldn't even occur to me (much less bother me) beyond some being some statistic in the back of my head if so many of you didn't yap and/or whine about it so much. The only thing that even MILDLY concerns me about Fallon is that it MIGHT be SOMEWHAT similar to Despicable Me, but let's get real here, I think Universal Creative deserves a little more credit than to think they would do something too similar.I honestly dont understand how someone, even if they are a fan of Fallon, can be supportive of this project if they have been to Universal recently.

We can quote anecdotal evidence or personal stories from friends and family all we want. The hard facts are this: Universal had its best summer EVER this year. If people are tiring on "screens", the numbers aren't backing it up. Until they do, it's safe to assume the general guests just doesn't care all that much.
OK, then shouldn't we also say that what Disney is doing is successful.

What Disney is doing, overall, IS SUCCESSFUL. :tongue: I don't like what Disney has been doing, but you can't say it's NOT successful.
To piggyback a bit: the problem is that success -- that is, financial success -- has been Disney's only endgame for a while now.
Don't kid yourself, that is Universal's only end game as well. They're doing it through a different strategy, but that's all they care about.
