It will be a family oriented attraction.
Will it be? Soarin' works because it's a serene tour. I'm not convinced this is going to be anything other than Minion Mayhem pt 2.

And Despicable Me Minion Mayhem is a popular family attraction. If they can equal the humor of DM it will be a success. A family ride doesn't have to be serene.Will it be? Soarin' works because it's a serene tour. I'm not convinced this is going to be anything other than Minion Mayhem pt 2.

That's are pretty strong requirements for a family ride. That would exclude just about anything at the parks. I'd be more inclined to say that a family ride is one that includes the vast majority of family members across the age spectrum, excluding babes in arms and little toddlers. Just a matter of opinion there though.I consider a "family attraction" to be something that doesn't exclude people. Minion Mayhem induces motion sickness and has a height requirement. *shrug*

You’d think that Universal would learn from their previous attractions that rides based on a moment in time quickly becomes dated.

At a Disney park where there isn't a lot of these kinds of rides, maybe this could fly as a family attraction. As it is, this is more of the same for UOR. I'm not talking about the screens, I'm talking about differentiation in experience. This is right next door to Minion Mayhem and Shrek. Three similar experiences in a line.
This. And, frankly, I think that's the reason some people keep bringing up SCREENZ!! It's not that they don't like screen-based/simulators, it's that they think the park has a lot of them, and with even more coming. Any theme park needs a balance of different types of experiences, and the way USF is currently shaping up over the next two years, it's going to become even more dominated by simulator experiences at the expense of more physical(ish) attractions. For people who don't like 3D, or who get motion sick, the front half of the Studios is growing less and less appealing.
From the blog post:I was actually going to say the same thing....no one where the title would i get the sense this is a "fly-over" NYC tour....it definitely has to be street level....in my opinion at least
Sure. I don't agree in calling things like Gringotts, Transformers, or possibly even F&F "simulators" though. Fallon, Minion Mayhem, and Shrek back-to-back-to-back is a problem.
They just care about the fact that it feels like the same ride as Spiderman.
That's also possibly because they may only experience TF. Even if they do both parks and take HE over, Spidey is all the way at the front and may not be experienced in the end.I've said this before, and I'll say it again, but the "normal" guest rates Transformers higher than Spider-Man, more often than not. Theme park competent people may complain that it's too similar to Spider-Man, but the normal guest doesn't care. It's just another awesome dark ride.
:doh: oh humans!!Yeah, there's a few out there. In fact, the owner of the Theme Parks News site is one of them. He has a no pictures policy on HP street & interior scenes.
