T2:3D - Battle Across Time Memorial Thread

Huh? Fast and furious and what? Fallon is liked no matter what people say.

No different than WWE

 

[Scott W.]

Real question. What merchandise is Bond going to sell?

Take your pick:

James Bond Merchandise | The Official James Bond 007 Store

Take your pick:

James Bond Merchandise | The Official James Bond 007 Store

I mean, you can slap a Bourne logo onto all of that too

Plus they can sell the DVD set, and the typical mug/Universal merch

 

[jtsalien]

Neither would be my first pick for an action stunt show, because frankly, they're almost impossible to make well. But I don't need to see a theme park actor pretend to be James Bond. It'd be way more fun to get to be James Bond. So an actual attraction could be killer.

But I'd much rather watch Jason Bourne. I don't think anyone watches those films and wants to be in his shoes. He's running and fighting for his life... Not driving classic cars and dating the finest women. As others alluded to, you can do a lot more in a small space with high energy with Bourne. Bond is too big a property and idea to fit into a small stage show.

What a wild couple of days. First, was told that Bloody Mary wasn't an interesting HHN Icon and now told that Bourne has at best, boring music. :?:

 

[Teebin]

And ride exit music:

True, but you put the 007 logo on that stuff and you'll sell ten times what you would with Bourne. I wouldn't ever buy anything that has Bourne on it, but I see that 007 logo and my wallet opens up...

Sure, but it is possible for Universal to sell merch based on their choice for this particular attraction. People were saying that it wasn't possible for Bourne to sell anything

Personally, I feel Universal did not secure the rights to 007 as they wanted to

Believe me, I am a huge 007 fan...All thanks to the N64 games back in the day haha

Even if Bourne ends up in the venue, I wouldn't count out a ton of Bond merch in the gift shop.

I mean, there is DC comics and Fallout 4 merch in the Terminator gift shop...

And plenty of Doctor Who.

 

[UNIrd]

Unfortunately, it's Bourne...

I'm looking forward to this. Attractions like this are what make Universal.. well.. Universal. With F&F finally open, I think it's now the most successful Uni franchise without any type of presence in the parks.

Different situation, that store is independent and not owned by Universal directly.

Really? How in the world did that come about? Are there any other stores like that at Universal? I mean I can see a sunglass store being independent but the gift shop at the exit to a ride?

It's been there since the park opened or close to it....waaaay before T2 was there. There are restaurants that were also owned independently in the parks as well, Lombard's Landing originally was under the Hard Rock Cafe group until Universal bought it out.

The same thing happens at Disney with the Uptown Jewelers on Main St.

What about the Men in Black gift shop?

 

[ChrisFL]

What about the Men in Black gift shop?

That one, I have no idea. In general, if they're selling almost all MIB stuff, it's probably Universal owned. If they sell random other merch and some attraction stuff, maybe independent.

I think one of the comic stores in MSHI may also be independent

 

[Alicia]

What about the Men in Black gift shop?

The jewelry store inside is third party. I believe the main shop is run by Universal. Same as JP Discovery Center’s jewelry shop.

 

[shiekra38]

The Lost Continent has two stores that are rented out as well....But I heard that is slowly changing, much like CityWalk

This is something we won't have to worry about at the South property

Blackstone days...I wouldn't worry about it at the resort period in a while
