The Bourne Stuntacular - General Discussion

[tankart150]

I’m super excited for this! :grin:

I agree. It's not like the old days when summer dominated attendance, and it was important to open/market then to get your maximum. Things have changed. Spring Break and the winter Holidays are now stronger than summer, and even the other times of year do pretty well. Not many slow times anymore, and lots of on site hotel rooms guarantee a decent crowd. Sooo, best to open when it's ready instead of pushing things. The money will ultimately come, so what's the hurry.

I agree

Back in the day Universal had HHN and summer, nowadays marketing too early can have a negative impact on their attendance.

Attendance that seems to be up consistently regardless of the time of year

I saw a UOR ad last night that showed the facade and a CG that said opening spring 2020.

Reallyyyy hoping this makes it for the first week in April. Im pretty psyched for this show tbh. USF has a decent amount to do rn being on vacation there for 8 days but this could add soooooooo much. I love a good stunt show (hell, I was a fan of Sinbad!) so honestly I'm hyped for this here. Just wanna see some of the action cause I really don't know what to expect.

I want this to knock Waterworld off it's throne as "Universal's Best Show EVER!"

Having never seen Waterworld, this would be SO DOPE if true since I've heard nothing but raves for Waterworld. Oh please be open this April haha

Wow! Waterword has set a really high standard. I guess time will tell......With the space limitations of indoors, as opposed to outdoors, that will be a hell of a accomplishment if they can pull it off. Myself, I'll be happy if Bourne is even close to being what Terminator was.

Unless they have some incredible set piece that blows our mind, it's going to be hard to compete with the set of Waterworld.

So while I, too, hope. It's very unlikely.
EU, with being able to build an entire set/stage from scratch designed around a show seems a more likely champion.

I'd settle for it just being good. The resort hasn't had a large-scale, multiple-show-a-day, must-see show forever.

I still think there's a high probability that large scale arena that looks connected to Uni Monsters in the EU art won't be connected to it at all, and will be the same Waterworld area Beijing is getting.

But we'll have to wait for @Alicia to pull those permits haha

The last 3 shows that I saw that TAIT produced absolutely blew my mind.

I don't think it's Waterworld. It looks like it will have significant backstage and wings for flying in Broadway scale set pieces.

Could be. Just not sure how a huge outdoor theater works for a Monsters show

Young Frankenstien: The Musical would be a pleasant surprise.

Young Frankenstien: The Musical would be a pleasant surprise.

The Doctor F/Monster top hat song & dance routine in the musical was even better than in the movie, and much longer. I'd attend just to see that song and dance routine again, it was that good.

 

[JungleSkip]

I don't see an outdoor theater as an ideal space for a Broadway style production, but this is probably a convo for another thread

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

Is Beetlejuice the musical feau

Young Frankenstien: The Musical would be a pleasant surprise.

Wouldn't they just do Frankenstein's Granddaughter, the musical?

But to be back on topic, lets hope Bourne is NOT a musical in any sense.

I think "Disaster!" was superior to "Catastrophe Canyon" although the last one was bigger in every way. Being (en)close-up on the action can be more impactful than watching in a giant stadium imho.

 

[ChurchStreet]

Went to Universal Hollywood for the first time this past fall. Never was a big show guy in theme parks, but figured I should catch a showing of Waterworld just to see what all the hub bub was all about.

Wow.

It blew me away. If Bourne is even HALF as exciting and well produced as Waterworld was, this will be a welcome addition to Florida.

 

[Imperius]

Should be just as well produced since it’s the same group. Just hope the excitement stays due to being indoors.

Stunts are the same group, different companies making the show.

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

I mean if they can be billed as "best theme park show" in the US or at least Orlando, id imagine that's gotta help sell a little at USF? I hope at the very least.
