The Bourne Stuntacular - General Discussion

[OhHaiInternet95]

With the current state of USF (and what replaced it) MAN do I wish we had Disaster right now. Was such a great attraction every year we did it at least once and its time consuming. Ugh, can't wait for Bourne to open to add to the show list here.

It was not a very popular attraction. Kinda like Poseidon is viewed now.

Yes. Unfortunately, sometimes you don't realize what you have until it's gone. Even a broken down Disaster, at it's last stages, was heads and tails above F&F. Not counting an entertaining Beetlejuice show on that spot.

Y'all, please swing this back on topic.

It will be good to have that spot in Hollywood occupied again. That street has seemed dead since Terminator closed. The Meet & Greet shows can only do so much.

I’m just here hoping it’s open/previewing at the end of April. Would be awesome to have a lot of firsts on this 10 day trip!

Ben and Jerry's > dole whips, that's just math

To be honest I wasn’t a big fan of earthquake/disaster, beetle juice, and now FFS. So this area for me as always been a dead end. As for Bourne I really hope it blows me away. Do you guys think it will be better than Terminator? Apparently, the new movie has been getting good reviews. Maybe it was a mistake to close it?

Mistake or not, with the rights reverting back to the original company, I'm not sure Universal/Comcast was ready or willing to renegotiate the theme park rights just to hang on to old attraction, (especially one that was in need of a refresh, including replacing the very expensive custom projection screen)...

Plus, I don't blame them. They updated the preshow and integrated it with the Genisys film a few years back, only to have it bomb. After so many failed attempts to reboot the franchise, I don't blame them for giving up on it. (Also, reviews aside, it is still too early to know if Dark Fate will be successful at the box office at this point.)

I 100% agree

Now if they'd open Schwabs for more than a couple months a year, the streets would be flooded with people .....Seriously though, I wish they would keep it open all year and make it into a true old tyme soda counter, with multi flavored Ice Cream Sodas, Phosphates, Multi flavored Milkshakes, Floats & Sundaes. :drool:

It's getting *okay* reviews. But "the best Terminator since T2" is damning with faint praise.

Hey, No drooling on the thread! That's disgusting!

Putting Universal properties in a Universal park is not as crazy as people think

Auditions are being held for this show by Action Horizons on November 3rd.

Auditions for what? Haven't people on here said that they have been rehearsing and doing blocking/staging already? :what:

It’s almost like you need multiple casts or something.

Yeah, like I said. They have a rehearsal cast that helped create the show and they'll teach the show. But they haven't hired anyone else yet.

"Blocking" is done BEFORE the stage and effects are built.

I was very concerned that they were just going to leave it to rot ala WoL. Damn so many things closed late summer/early fall 2017--UoE, GMR, Dragons, T2, and yeah, B&T.
