I agree KFP is strong, but I think dragons in general is more popular across kid ages and genders which is why httyd was better.The issue seems to be quite the opposite - KFP is a strong, durable franchise that deserves a major ride or even a land.
I’d rather have KFP in EU over HtTyD, but that’s mostly personal preference. Dragon can also carry a land, it’s just a tiny bit less deserving then Panda.
Now you're just being greedy! Resurrect the Sinbad show, but based on the underrated 2003 animated DreamWorks film!KFP should also get a land. I’d also take a Shrek land lol
I think Thursday may surprise some people. And I agree, KFP should also get a land. I’d also take a Shrek land lol
:eek:

Both EU’s HtTyD and Beijing’s KFP seem to be incredibly beautiful, well-themed lands in which to wander around. The anchor attraction in Beijing is somewhat lackluster and suffers from the same problems of a lot of recent dark rides - characters that stand around facing guests rather than taking part in carefully staged scenes, thin show platforms that limit scene making, and screens that exist for their own sake rather then being integrated into… scenes (I like scenes). Still, at least Panda Land HAS an anchor attraction - I don’t know how well the live show will fulfill that function for HtTyD.I like the first two KFPs better than any of the HTTYDs, and the indoor land in Beijing looks great but overall the ride lineup for HTTYD looks much better (reservations about the coaster aside).
and next shrek coming up..Panda is only behind Dune in the US box office this year ... Trolls and Puss in Boots also had decent theatrical runs recently
Almost like Universal planned all this between parks and studio
I've heard this a few times. Why is the Dragon Training coaster not considered an anchor attraction here? It seems to be incredibly intricate and well-made, as well as seemingly catering to a wider range of demographics for a coaster.Both EU’s HtTyD and Beijing’s KFP seem to be incredibly beautiful, well-themed lands in which to wander around.

I think Slinky Dog Dash is the closer comparison point.Would Everest not be considered the anchor for Asia at DAK? Space Mountain/Tron for Tomorrowland? I suppose I don't understand how this is much different.
Especially that yeti.... oh wait...Everest's level of theme, its massive scale, and the "setting the stage" storytelling (both in terms of the mountain itself and the queue) put it in a very elite thematic class.
A very fun way to prep for the upcoming lands!I'm going to be the weird guy that pops in and says that I actually have never watched a single KFP or HTTYD movie.
Guess I better get on it

The coaster is a E-ticket, each land has one,,I've heard this a few times. Why is the Dragon Training coaster not considered an anchor attraction here? It seems to be incredibly intricate and well-made, as well as seemingly catering to a wider range of demographics for a coaster.

I didn't say it wouldn't be the land's main draw. The comparison was made to Everest, certainly the most E-ticket level (in terms of theme and scale) coaster in Orlando. HTTYD seems like it will be closer to Slinky than Everest. That was my point.Ehhh... IDK about that (at least with regards to theme). I would say it's a few notches above that; but the extent of the themeing doesn't negate whether it's an anchor/marquee or not.
