Universal's Epic Universe Wish List & Speculation

[Magic-Man]

Soooo, Sonic ride when?

Soooo, Sonic ride when?

Hopefully never.

Soooo, Sonic ride when?

I saw the movie on Friday, it was actually surprisingly not bad. There were some moments I could have done without, but at times I was laughing out loud. Definitely glad they changed the animation.

Box office so far is doing well. I think it's trending toward beating Detective Pikachu for opening weekend for domestic. It has a chance to be one of the most successful video game movies ever (and a chance to take #1). This means it could get a sequel, which they've already eluded to being open to. This definitely opens up theme park possibilities.

That being said, I wouldn't want an entire land based around Sonic. A ride would be fine, if it's focused on actually going fast (eg Hagrid type ride) instead of just screens to simulate.

I wonder if Nintendo would offer up part of their EU expansion pad for a Sonic coaster. The two companies are pretty friendly after all and if Sonic goes anywhere in a crazy sense he fits the most next to Mario.

I jest, but @Alicia had mentioned of Universal's interest in Smash. :tease: :toast:

I think there's a negative chance Sonic comes to anything Universal with a Nintendo partnership and doubly negative that they'd place it anywhere close to SNW. Brand confusion is a real thing. It's more likely another park chain gets Sega right than Universal.

Yeah I was really just spitballing. Sonic is in Smash though

 

[Magic-Man]

What are the chances that we'll get a rethemed clone of the Jurassic World E-Ticket in this park? Or just a ride using the same ride system?

So you want a third ride using the Spider-Man ride system in Orlando?

 

[Magic-Man]

I mean, I would mind it. But I was watching a video by ReviewTyme recently and they said that the E-Ticket is similar to Indiana Jones and Dinosaur.

So is Spider-Man if you replaced the screens with more sets? It's a motionbase ride vehicle.

 

[WAJAS]

The only way Sonic gets in the park is through Smash IMO.

Plans have been filed and it appears that this may be the time it happens

But there were also plans filed for the Van Helsing ride O:

Very high likelihood

That is true, thanks

This would make a really good ride system for the Creature boat ride, JS.

Wait, so is it going to be a 3-D ride? Because it'd be really cool if it were a completely practical attraction like Dinosaur.

I don’t know about the current version, but the initial, non-Spider-Man version was to have some AA dinos inside.

I feel like screens are inevitable here though. Question is if it’s all screens like Transformers or not.

Isn't that just a smaller scale version of the tech used for Jaws?

 

[Tobias]

I'm gonna' say no? This tech looks to have the boat's tilting/bobbing done via tight turns and wave machines, while Jaws (correct me if I'm wrong) was more mechanically controlled from the boat itself when it rocked.
