I would love anything SNL. It's been one of my absolute favorite shows for years. An interactive museum and experience, kinda like SNL: The Exhibition I did in New York, would be great. It'd also be another thematic win for the NY area of the park.
Most of that space is used for the extended queue for Mummy (which has actually been in use this week.) I remember when it was the Islands of Adventure preview center way back when. What little space that isn't used for queue is used for xmas decor storage I believe.If they repurposed the space behind the Macy's facade, they could do a small museum.
Busch Gardens Williamsburg announced today that they will be opening a virtual reality simulator in 2018. It's replacing the Europe in the Air attraction, whose flying theater is similar to Race Through New York, and will use the existing flying theater. It will be located in the Ireland land of BGW. From BGW, " Enter a portal into a hidden world of mythical characters in Ireland.....Virtual reality headsets will replace video screens". There's some cool shots of the present flying theater from under the platform....Interesting
After I received the email from BGW, I did my daily check though the theme park sites I check for news. Turned out that Niles wrote an article on this BGW announcement after he saw the announcement. In his article he was saying the VR coasters he experienced actually had less motion sickness than when he rode them as normal coasters, but it was important that it was synched properly. But he emphasized the big problem is the extreme loading slowness and loss of capacity. That ride at BGW (only one theater), in it's previous incarnations, had horrible capacity and long waits even if there weren't many people in line. So, this is really going to be a tough PR situation for BGW if the loading is substantially slower, thus creating even worse capacity issues.I'm not particularly susceptible to motion sickness, but even I think that sounds like nausea waiting to happen.
Soft opening updates?
Are they opening at a fairly regular time right now? The first week it seemed like it was 4p. Is it earlier now? Specific window (s)?
Any changes since the first week? Are the smells working now? Or were they working in the beginning and I just got an unlucky ride?
Good luck on the gigGoing to the parks for a important meeting, is the Jimmy soft opening today?
Can someone explain to me why there are lines stretching down towards to NY Public Library for this queueless ride? I haven't been keeping up as much lately, so maybe there's a reason.
^ POV ???
I totally get why people are turned off by it but it looks better than Twister.
Sounds like she is what they expected to be experiencing this.Friend is at the park today, she's not a pass holder and only comes down a few times every year. She rode Jimmy (lol) for the first time today and said it was good, just a little short. She's staying at Portofino and has Unlimited Express but says they aren't accepting it right now. She did say that once she got inside she barely had to wait at all before riding
