T2:3D - Battle Across Time Memorial Thread

[Alicia]

Heard a bit of information in regards to the general theme for this show. A coworker has heard the show will be more akin to Horror Makeup or the Special Effects stages at USH in that it will be a breakdown of how they make movies- just on the grandest scale. I dunno how much I believe said person, but I'm not opposed to the idea of having an OG style attraction about making movies back in the park.

While I wish this was the case, it’s not at all what I’ve been hearing for it.

I'd prefer it not to be "How we make movies". I feel like those kind of attractions' time as come and passed

Agreed. Example: IJ at DHS gets old after a few viewings, with 5 minutes of action and 20 minutes of boring 'this is the way we do it". LMA was the same.

If it was more like Horror Make Up and less like IJ, I'm all for it.

How they theme that to Bourne, I don't know?...

I'm sure it will have a throughline story set in the Jason Bourne universe

Some say it’s still 2019 (@Alicia and @Joe) specifically.

The interesting thing would be what they do plan on doing for 2020 if this opens this year.

There doesn’t need to be a new addition every single year. Happened in 2015.

In my dreams they’d put together something worthwhile for one of the closed (TL/Sindbad) or underused (Fear Factor) stadiums

They could just have Bourne be the example for Universal action movies, kinda like how Van Helsing had a residency at the Horror Makeup Show, only more permanent.

I’d be happy with a solid refurb for ET, since Kidzone will never die at this point. Update the animatronics, revamp the queue, and throw in some projection mapping on his home world for good measure.

Not trying to be "that guy" but I love "how we make the movies" attractions. But I probably also visit the parks a lot less than you all.

Same. But I also like legit shows that make me go multiple times to figure out what they did, so I can take it or leave it personally.

Also, Special Effects Show at USH is a newer version of this type of attraction and is really well done. I was pleasantly surprised by it. I had low expectations thinking it was the same show I had seen years prior before the move to the new stage and its completely uninspired title didn't help. However, the VIP Tour included seating for this and it was actually funny, had some exciting moments, and was overall very entertaining. I think an even larger scale version of this would be a really interesting addition to the park.

 

[WillQ92]

It may be the purist in me, but I love and terribly miss the 'how it's made' shtick Studios used to have. I've been racking my brain about how to keep Bourne from treading into T2:3D territory, and this would work. Kind of like an indoor Lights, Motors, Action sans cars.

I feel this show will be more Waterworld than Alfred Hitchcock, if that makes sense

I'm also a fan of their show, but keep in mind Universal Hollywood still caters predominantly to one-and-done tourists, many visiting from out of the country. The show plays well to first-timers but definitely struggles more on repeat views as you sit through the same explanations.

Ok. So was your “friend of a friend” really just you wishing?

Negative. Someone I worked with today. He also said it's gonna be a Dynamic Attractions motion theater, which I think we already confirmed wasn't happening.

Not everyone is getting their information from the dippin dots guy.

Wasn't very PC of me. Gotta be more conscious of that.

To be fair, I do not know this person other than that we share an employer and we were making small talk.

I love how little we know about this addition, it makes it all the more mysterious
