T2:3D - Battle Across Time Memorial Thread

Volcano Bay is getting a Madagascar re-theme.

The entire BGM is changed to Move It and Afro Circus on constant loop. Whoever makes it to the end of the day gets their visit free.

Then people would complain about Volcano Bay and rate it low on Trip Advisor

So...Stranger Things...Crash Bandicoot...Madagascar at Volcano Bay....we are all over the place now, haha. But seriously, I've heard rumors Antiques Roadshow is replacing Horror Makeup.

Actually....

Huh. That's perplexing. Audiences I've been in have always seemed to really dig it.

The GP loves Horror Make Up.

Don’t know if that’s true, but it’s kinda the mission statement for the original USF Park, and something I always label as a “Must-Do” for first-time guests. The show has such a different tone or humor to anything at Disney, plus jabs at tourists and Disney itself, in a way Disney would never do back these days.

Sure, we have gotten Shrek, Simpsons, and more that parody Disney, but HMU (and Disaster, but that’s gone) went the extra mile. They really sold the freewheeling, improv aspect that dared to push the boundary of family-friendly. It also makes it repeatable for APs (to the point of audience members spoiling the punchlines to the jokes). That to me, is what USF is all about: subverting the Disney tropes and image. It’s very on-brand for Universal, but that in-your-face 90’s attitude is slowly leaving the resort as attractions get replaced.

Hotel in the wet and wild car park plot it is then. Is it?

Dreamworks overtaking the remainder of the Lost Continent.

Actually....

I guess that makes what @Disneyhead said for DnT to be turning out true then.

That said, back to T2's replacement; I am going to be curious if this may use something similar to what Dreamworks Theater has for projection mapping.

Alright, I started asking questions. No one would tell me specifics on what's coming, but I got some insight on why it's taking so long. Basically, there's some necessary work going on backstage to better support the new show. That possibly includes an expanded armory.

So, unless they're adding heavy munitions to a Dreamworks film or the Barton Bellas start blowing stuff up, it's a live-action stunt show.

Keeping the same theater set up though?

Didn’t ask. Based on the logistics of some of the work though, I don’t expect any dynamic theater conversion. I could be wrong, but it’s an Entertainment project. It doesn’t feel so grand as that from my discussions.

Actually, in Pitch Perfect 3, they do.

If this is the same stage and theater set up as T2:3D, I'm kind of dissapointed. Should have just upgraded T2 then

I agree RIP T2

I highly doubt that it the case..I expect nothing less than a Dynamic Theater

You should probably lower your expectations

Hmm, what tells you that?

 

[Legacy]

Have we found any permits on demo/remodel for the theater yet? That will say a lot about what is coming in.
