I really hope we get some quality additions in DHS...and please give the park a water ride! It gets so freaking hot here and I think each park should have at least one water ride.
Spider-man is a stretch. Cat in the Hat ain't no E-ticket. Plus it spins like crazy.
Testtrack was talking a Pirates/Mansion that EVERYONE can ride no matter what.
I stumbled into the bathroom where my Fruit Loops made their own forbidden journey. Some part of my brain noticed that Moaning Myrtle was laughing at me and I appreciated the attention to detail.
And I don't mean just height requirements. Not everyone likes or can ride intense rides, even if they fit into the height restrictions. My mom can ride ToT, but hates the drop feeling. Mike from Penny-Arcade can't handle intense rides, and this was a comic he drew based on his experience:
Universal doesn't have a IASW, TTA, Pooh, HM, Jungle Cruse, or whatever level attraction that the whole family can ride. How many times do you hear people talk about taking extended family, toddlers to grandparents, to Universal? That's why I rip my hair out when I hear an omnimover in Jurassic Park is cancelled and a rumored mega coaster is put in place. I want to take my mom to Universal to experience their styles of themed attraction, and can't. From casual conversations in Orlando, I'm far from the only one to think that way.
Call me selfish but I don't get caught up on the Universal needs more kids rides. It is a thrill park but personally I feel like they have tons of rides families can go on. Another thing you would be surprised how many 10 year olds I see go on rides like ROTM or HRRR. I do feel like they could use a couple more authentic and neat dark rides but that's about it. Also we have three more new kids/family rides coming Universal in Hogwarts Express, Gringotts and Kang/Kodos.
I agree 100%.Cedar Point is a thrill park. Universal I wouldn't necessarily call a thrill park. Count me in as one who would love to see some family rides with no height restrictions

Are we talking about the same parks that hold the Hulk, FJ, Spiderman, TF, ROTM, HRRR, DC, JRPA, and Dudley? I mean sure USF can't necessarily be compared as a thrill park but I was speaking of the entire resort as a whole.
His original post was strictly about USF itself as was my post. I should have made that a little more clear.
Oh you know what? I couldve swore you quoted me when you first said Uni wasnt necessarily a thrill park....I now see you were speaking to him...:doh:
This is the beauty of Universal and Disney though. This is what creates the theme park wars and what provides each park to thrive towards a goal. Universal is simply put the thrill destination of Orlando while Disney is the family oriented Destination of orlando. What makes these two beautiful is that Universal, if wanting to compete with Disney, has to orient their parks to attract BOTH styles of guest. While Disney has to focus on attracting the thrill seekers as well if they want to continue to compete with Universal and beat them. In terms of overall success Disney is winning to the naked eye. But when it comes down to it Universal is making huge strides to catch up to Disney. Theme park wars arent won by sitting idle but picking the strengths and weaknesses of the competition and capitalizing on each of these. :thumbs:

But it wouldn't be "Cars Land", it would be a part of the altogether Pixar PlaceRumor is we aren't getting a cloned Cars Land. Smaller RSR without the race portion and no Luigi's

For a ride already without that "wow" moment taking away the racing portion seems like a terrible idea.
Skip, is this due to land or money?
my guess is 400 for star wars and 200 for cars if it is indeed 600 millionI don't agree that RSR doesn't have a wow moment. The race is pretty fantastic.
My guess is money. Word on other sites is that they want to do the whole DHS project for under 600 million.
happens to the best of us
