It’s cool tech for the space but just needs more theming and physical elements

Except Fallon is incredibly highly rated by the guests of the park. It’s really well liked.Villain-Con is suffering from the "Fallon Problem"... on its own, it's a great attraction... but put it in a park where mostly every other attraction is screen-reliant, it feels more of the same. Hypothetically, if they had put this in IOA, it would be doing just fine.
I still think the Minions/Despicable Me franchise deserves a higher-caliber attraction though.
I’m in my 30s with kids. Something being better than what was there before and fun is about all I need. Worrying about unrealized potential for a space and a perfect use that lives up to the imagination is a young man’s game.Because if we have the token response ‘it’s better than what’s there before’ it doesn’t lend itself to actually discussing what it could be if it realised its potential.
Imagine if they had gone through with Potter VR here? Screens you strap to your face!USF clearly still doesn’t realize they have a screen problem.
This ride will be just fine. And much better than Shrek.
But what attraction currently doesn’t have a screen at USF?
HRRR, ET, MIB and… Twirl and Hurl?
So basically everything that’s on its last leg.
Yikes.
Even with the minions area being much more cohesive, there is very little thinking about the park’s complete lineup.
Obviously.
I think what'll be the most telling is what happens after EU opens. Essentially the entire park needs an overhaul and they need to bring capacity up in order to bring things down. Around 1/5 of IoA is now closed too, when you factor in the perennially closed Toon theater and now the entirety of LC.USF clearly still doesn’t realize they have a screen problem.

I wouldn't put Mummy in the screens category, even though there are projection elements... but yeah.USF clearly still doesn’t realize they have a screen problem.

This attraction is probably going to be in that weird place where I know it’s not that great, but I like it.
Like I’m afraid to admit my favorite ride at Studios is Transformers, but I just love it. And I hate those films!
This is kinda like that. It’s no Rise of the Resistance or nuttin, but I’m gonna do it nearly every visit, and I only did Shrek once in 5 years. It just makes me happy.
What if villain con is actually $100 million ahaha,That's what I'm expecting to get out of it, probably something similar to Fallon.
All theme parks need more of these C tickets, not every ride needs or can be a $100 million extravaganza.
this is an amazing call out. this system would have been solid in IOAVillain-Con is suffering from the "Fallon Problem"... on its own, it's a great attraction... but put it in a park where mostly every other attraction is screen-reliant, it feels more of the same.

I think the general scope of this is perfectly fine and appropriate. There are even applications of the "moving walkway attraction on a very confined plot of land" that I'd be in favor of.All theme parks need more of these C tickets, not every ride needs or can be a $100 million extravaganza.
It would never happen because of the perceived outdated nature of the IPs, but a version of this attraction in Toon Lagoon, with classic comic strip characters, could have been neat. And it would have provided a balance to the two physical water ride experiences in the land already.this is an amazing call out. this system would have been solid in IOA
While there are budget and other considerations, they certainly are privy to much more information than us and make decisions accordingly.Universal must clearly believe there aren't enough people who think it's an issue.
Because many of us here thought there would be some physical elements. And there are zero.Why are we bangin the screenz drum again? We've known what this was from the get-go.

All I know is I’ll actually go into this ride, probably multiple times a trip. I think I did Shrek 2x in 20 years.
That’s an improvement
