Only less then a month left until JNNB closes...
Around the time it closes, I'll post in full detail why I thought this ride was good and underrated.
But, I will give a sample and say one reason why I loved JNNB was because it successfully captured the spirit of Nickelodeon. That's something all movie/TV based rides NEED to strive to do. To capture what makes their source material what it is. It gives us a better illusion of "Riding the Movies" In turn, I honestly thought that Hanna-Barbera did NOT capture what made those cartoons what they are. To me, JNNB represents how Nickelodeon is fun with a lot of laughs and even the occasional thrill.
I personally never understood most of the criticisms that are launched against this attraction. It could have been done better, but again, I found this attraction to be way more enjoyable than most of the changes done to USF. The only thing that I will admit was underwhelming was the post-show. Hanna-Barbera's was better.
No offense, but I don't think many of the people here even understand what the attraction is supposed to embody. I keep hearing some say stuff like "This ride is about Jimmy Neutron, and he only appeals to kids, making this ride having little appeal to older folks". First off, this ride is NOT about Jimmy Neutron. A common fallacy. The ride is about
Nickelodeon. Jimmy Neutron is simply just the host of the attraction, and quite frankly, they made a good decision in choosing him as the host. Plus, I know several adults that find Jimmy Neutron (Movie and TV show) to be funny, so that argument is invalid.
YES YES YES!!! All amazing news!!!!!
Well, technically, the worst news is that SpongeBob, Dora, and Diego are going to be the only forms of Nickelodeon merchandise you can get at Universal for now on. Nothing else.
--- Update ---
Can someone explain the exact reasons why people hate this ride? I would just like to know both sides of the debate. I have hardly seen a (no offense) legitimate argument on why this ride is bad. Most of what I see is stuff along the lines of "It sucks". So, if someone could explain to me, thank you, as I am overall interested in the people that say this attraction is "bad".
