Small world boat ride, but it’s just the villagers singing in their nonsense language. A dream.
I like Animal Crossing but after playing splatoon 3, that is way more suited for a water ride/game than any other Nintendo IP. Overlay the barges and make it indoors with Splatoon 3 and have inklings shot you and you shot back using projection mapping.

Well if there’s a death knell for anything it’s the UOAP lounge moving here. They think it’s worth more as a UOAP benefit write off than as a retail location. Ouch.

Well, was Rocky and Bullwinkle merch really ever pushing the needle?
If they really wanted to sell comic strip merch effectively, Garfield and Peanuts would be out there next to Popeye and Betty Boop. and yea, I understand licensing deals with other parks keeps that out of the question, thus, AP Lounge.

The Boop location is pretty small, and I haven't seen evidence yet of any significant improvements to the lounge other than some random imagery. I think it'll be another temp location until they can decide on an actual purpose-built location for it.
Call me when it's on the second floor of Confisco's and I can walk the forbidden bridge

It’s opening Friday.
I believe it's just a thorough refurb. you can see some photos of crews painting the exterior here, and it "only" closed a couple months ago.
Rumor is Universal is considering entering the cruise line industry and will use The Olive as a test.

Yes but a full-on Shrek land based on Far Far Away on the other hand.....
I did an entire park on RCT based on the Shrek franchise lol ....sadly I don't have any screenshots from that park creation. There was Shrek's Swamp, Duloc, & Far Far Away... I can still visualize roughly 75-90% of it
With Dreamworks Kidzone across the street, I would honestly. No need to double dip.

They’re already double/triple dipping. How to train your dragon is getting its own land. And Harry Potter is getting 3 lands. I don’t see why they can’t convert it to Dreamworks Lagoon.
Dragon is an isolated IP, not encompassing DreamWorks as a whole; and Harry Potter is the exception. They're not going to do DreamWorks Land V.2 just because of the water gimmick.
