Studio Tour

And therein, once again, lies the issue. The Studio Tour is primarily designed to appeal to tourists, not annual passholders who have ridden it over a hundred times.

I do wonder if there is something to be said of the experience now being more diminished than even that of 2013 Tram, when they were beginning to properly build Supercharged.

With Jurassic Park effectively now in the Studio Vault as a result of not wanting to pay for regrading the road to make it legally safe, the demolition of the Whoville sets (which was for the best, don't get the wrong idea), the closure of Supercharged, and the closure of the Collapsing Bridge--one has to wonder what it will take for them to do a shot in the arm to fully give the Studio Tour a boost.

Or--if they're just going to ride this as they continue to diminish the "Attraction" experiences, in the idea of actively converting the experience to be a standalone one outside of the park. To make it more similar to that of the WB Studio Tour just a few miles away.

That's not to say they aren't investing in the Studio Tour--quite the opposite. Jupiters Claim, the renovations to Earthquake, and the electrification actually have put time and care, and we did have the diesel trams get a sunset signoff with the 50th Anniversary finishes--but I have to wonder if we are leaning in the direction of the park needing to prioritize itself as a "Park" first, and to separate the Studio Tour as a result of that nature.

Can you tell me why it would be bad to try to cater to both?

I don't understand why it would be bad to talk about more films and everytime its a little different?

You will always talk about BTTF, Jaws, Jurassic etc, no one is trying to be like you can't have some core points but I already complimented one Tram host for going above and beyond and just do not think any guests would be upset if the Tram offered more information then it does now

I also don't get with Jurassic section now gone why they thought taking out F&F with no replacement ready was also good for guests

I just think the ride could use some more love, have a props warehouse we drive through and has more current day props from newer movies like oppenheimer, allow for more the Tram Drivers to go off script more and have a real ending for the Tram again.

Also aren't we going to lose 6 points Texas soon....so to me the Tram is not really going in the right direction right now

Last point as well, people are like this ride is not for APs who go all the time. Didn't the park just lost a bunch of guests, so aren't APs the think keeping the park a float, why would it be bad to cater to the group of people who are giving you the most money each year?

because the demands of super fans like you can’t be met within the financial restraints that these parks operate in. the appetite for “new” is insatiable for guests who attend very frequently.

i’d ask why would it be bad for you to diversify the things you spend your time on? if you’re experiencing one of the most popular attractions in the united states so often that you’re bored with it, maybe it’s time to mix in something else?

Sorry, no. We're not doing this all again. It's extremely self-evident.
