Couldn't find a thread that didn't focus on an individual attraction, future expansions/attractions, or just a general thread for Seuss.
I dream of easier trains for loading (and quicker dispatches) and running 1 continuous track at a reduced speed.My biggest wish for Seuss Landing is that High in the Sky was 10 minutes longer
Seuss Landing is fine, but cracked paint/poor maintenance is made more obvious due to how bright/texture-less the theming is. But it's in great shape now (outside CitH).
Cat in the Hat is a fine dark ride, but definitely needs to be improved with projection mapping and literal clean up of all the dust. There is 0 need for this thing to return to it's original spinning, never understood the argument to keep the aggressive spinning. (In favor of MIB reducing spinning at the end as well)
One Fish Two Fish, while avoiding the water is a unique idea, significantly reduces the popularity/repeatability for it. The water effects are a little too much.
High in the Sky really needs new trains to get rid of those annoying seats. Restraints are obviously needed, but it's way too restrictive and difficult to climb in/out of.
Now with Circus reopened, Seuss is probably the best land to eat at with 2 decent quick service locations.
All the land needs is an indoor theater that can host a year round show, capable of switching to Grinchmas for the holidays.
This popped into my feed today and was curious to your thoughts!
Seems clickbaity IMO.
In 2021-22 it was not in great condition, thankfully it's now in better shape.I agree. Big difference between "room for improvement" - which they are in the midst of - and "troubled"/"state of disarray"
CitH isn't boring due to the lack of spinning, it's mostly due to how bare some of the sets are. It's mostly plain-colored walls with a gobo lighting effect.I mean I agree cat in the hat is super boring without the spin, it needs more spin. There has to be a mid-point between what it was and what it is now. I did think that ride needs a full refurb where they bring some more spinning back.
I like a good dark ride, but there is just something about this one that I tend to not want to go on it. Now my kids love it, but there are places that could have a little spinning in it. Maybe that is my issue, I remember when it spinned. This "young kids don't like spinning" argument seems odd when you have tea cups that kids love. I am not looking for back to full spinning, but the ride expects some spinning in some areas as that is how the story was written. So it is just something missing.In 2021-22 it was not in great condition, thankfully it's now in better shape.

In a park filled with thrill rides, CitH provides a nice change of pace.
Are you talking about what would convince/incentivize them to give it a proper refresh or what they can possibly change in the ride itself?I wonder what it would take for them to really overhaul CitH. Like installing some better sets, refurbishing AAs, etc.
Probably nothing lol
Yeah, the first one.Are you talking about what would convince/incentivize them to give it a proper refresh or what they can possibly change in the ride itself?
Would take a new movie/show to rejuvenate the IP for the first question. Not saying Universal needs an incentive to solely update a ride, but it's very low in a long list of priorities.
Except.... have you never read a Dr Deuss book? The ride literally emulates being inside the CITH book. It isn't meant to be a fully excessively themed dark ride like at Disney.CitH isn't boring due to the lack of spinning, it's mostly due to how bare some of the sets are.

I understand the concept, but the concept falls a bit flat in execution. It could use "more" things to look at or maybe a new lighting package that lowers the brightness a bit to keep you engaged into what you should be focusing on.Except.... have you never read a Dr Deuss book?

The minimal bare sets & plain colored walls are straight out of the book.
And as for the spinning aspect, it is very noticeably absent because the ride programming is jerky in those scenes.
I think a fairly simple fix to convey the "storybook" aesthetic would be to actually include sentences and phrases on the "page" walls we're looking at.I understand the concept, but the concept falls a bit flat in execution.

Yes, it sort of has that already, but I think that's what is missing in between the show scenes.I think a fairly simple fix to convey the "storybook" aesthetic would be to actually include sentences and phrases on the "page" walls we're looking at.
