Is Mythos even any good anymore? (sorry if off topic lol)
It's on an upwards swing in quality.

But even Disney, who are pretty spectacular with their shows, can be hit and miss with their quality. That’s the risk of a show.
I’d say just like a ride can be hit or miss, same logic applies here. Shows just aren’t as big of a draw. I’ll forever stand by Waterworld should be in IOA if they can ever fit it.But even Disney, who are pretty spectacular with their shows, can be hit and miss with their quality.

I love the Waterworld mini land they have in BeijingI’d say just like a ride can be hit or miss, same logic applies here. Shows just aren’t as big of a draw. I’ll forever stand by Waterworld should be in IOA if they can ever fit it.
Idk the logistics, but if even a small version of that can fit in TL Apmitheatre with a very small window quick service for seafood, DO IT.I love the Waterworld mini land they have in Beijing
I'm all for Shows...but Universal has lost its edge....Bill and Ted was great but no can't do that any more....I just feel like new shows are fine like I really prefer Shrek 4D to Kunfu Panda. Shrek feels like a literal sequel while Panda is some none important "adventure"
Tech wise they have improved but story telling wise I feel like newer shows just feel more generic
I hope that BoTW boat ride/suspended vehicle concept that was posted can see the light of day.So, let’s make that E ticket Zelda ride happen lol. A full time show in Seuss Landing I’ve always felt would be perfect. I wonder what traffic in the park would be like if LC was a major draw, which it’s never been in my time going to Universal. I can’t imagine how crowded the top right of the park would be between that and Hogsmeade. Perfect time then to add a show somewhere.
Even Disney in Florida can't get close to DisneylandA show and a dark ride still wouldn't get IOA anywhere close to Disneyland.
While shows make sense from an academic perspective and they do soak up people for a long duration, the economics are usually rather poor when competing against other ideas in the approval phase. They're also much riskier (the GSAT range from a good script to a bad script is easily 30ppt) and decidedly less marketable to the masses, nighttime spectaculars excluded.
Regarding Waterworld... because I'm a bit annoyed about it.
This is Waterworld in Hollywood overlaid on Sinbad. There may be, like, a 10 foot difference in scale, but this gives you a sense of how massive that show is, how big its backstage is, and how it wouldn't just be a simple "conversion." It would nearly eradicate what remains of the market place with a dystopian future-based show. So, not a bloody chance.
Ironically, though, it fits pretty well in the Studios... where it should go.
Okay I felt I recalled this....Since the question of Waterworld’s size has popped up again...
I don't remember seeing this, but wow, massiveSince the question of Waterworld’s size has popped up again...
I've yet to eat at Mythos, I'll make sure to drop by there for lunch next time. That grilled cheese does sound good, even if I regret it walking around the park after.
If PF comes back at all, I think it'll only be seasonal for the Summer and Holiday season. I wouldn't necessarily expect that it will for sure come back though.Storm Force is preparing to reopen- can’t be too far out on Poseidon’s Fury??
Yeah, but that's a bit different since it's in a soundstage. If it's not filled by next year, I'm guessing it'll probably be used for HHN.Isn’t Blue Man theater also vacant
Isn’t there a house in Shrek? Move that over to BMG I’d think leaves room for SLOP, but I digress.Yeah, but that's a bit different since it's in a soundstage. If it's not filled by next year, I'm guessing it'll probably be used for HHN.
I've been going to PF every vacation for the past ten years, Numerous times each year. We generally go in the off season. I can't recall a single time that I went on the attraction that the main room wasn't either completely
filled, or three quarters filled at the very least. And that's usually early in the day before the parks get crowded, since we almost always go back to the hotel during the early afternoon hours when the crowds arrive. Just sayin.
