Also, it may be interesting to say that this is the first time we will see the MarioKart ride system in full-action if the rumors for that are to be true.
As someone whos had some time to swallow this; I full on LOVE the fact that they are starting to fix Toon Lagoon with something like this. It makes sense in both synergizing and for adding something in the market that is entirely driven for the 'familys'. Hell; if you want to call it, 2017 could be Universals most diverse year in terms of an lineup.
You have Volcano Bay which will entice the entire family, both thrill seekers and younglings to be there. You have Fast and Furious, which will bring the teen demographic right too it, giving more thrill for what it is. Then Fallon (like it or not) will give an more..hopefully adult market of Late-Night TV viewers a chance to watch and then finally, this will bring the kids and parents all to that corner allowing some really good crowd options to go for.
Then to add on, the experiences from 2016 and the saying that more is coming will get people extremely considering even outside of Florida to get passes to come here more often, due to the ever-evolving process that Universal has been doing, whether out the parks with the hotels or with in the parks with these IPs.
Can't wait for this ride in short terms, but this is going to help Universal in the long run.
