Me and my little sister just got back from Universal to ride DM:MM. I have to say, I REALLY liked it! Even though I've already been on the one in Florida, I actually enjoyed going on this again more than I thought I would. Even though it's another simulator ride, the motion is very smooth and it doesn't feel too rough. There was just a certain charm that the ride had that made it feel superior than the Simpsons. It's probably the high level of theming, more heartfelt humor, and the smooth motions. This will definitely be a big hit for Universal for years to come. They have a big winner on their hands here.
It goes without saying that the ride is the same as Florida's but it does have some enhancements. There's wind effects, water effects recycled from T2 (The mist), and better film projection (It looked better than Transformers). Also, I LOVE THE THEMING! Yeah, the blank queue bothered me a little bit, but the awesome facade, the quality pre-show rooms and the AMAZING-looking Super Silly Funland made me forget that; besides, it never really bothered me too much in the first place. It would've been nice to have an all-out queue though.
I didn't get to try the DM food. Maybe next time. I did get the cupcake and I thought it was alright. They were out of the bananas when I tried to get one. I'm looking forward to seeing SSFL when it's all complete. It's not even finished yet and I already think it looks amazing. Great job Universal! You did very good on putting this in and I'm glad to see your work pay off!
P.S. Man, that preshow is LOUD. Not deafening loud, but loud to the point where I couldn't hear myself think.
