Both Disaster and the Special Effects show in Hollywood are just... Lackluster. I agree. No one said they have to mock a filming company. They can just quite simply show the intensity, the endurance of filmmaking, show the history of shots, show how the most intricate shots were accomplished, show how CGI has grown to become such an integral part of so many films nowadays, whether blatant or hidden, etc. And the whole point of Universal Creative having 'creative' in their name is so that they can come up with new ways of portraying all of these key production values within a quieter attraction while still having exciting attractions every which where.
Universal Studios is becoming a park worth mentioning because of its more intense attractions, but many parts of it have such a charm that is required to envelop the park guest in a theme. Take, for instance, Sting Alley. It's literally just a walk through section of facades that nobody visits. But that's the beauty of it, it's the ethereal feeling of walking through the streets of New York at nighttime and seeing lit windows and dirty streets, but all alone. There are so many areas that don't mirror this feeling, and by randomly locating attractions throughout the park, the theme starts to blend together. I still think Universal can hold its park's themed integrity and show the key points of each section's nature while still having exciting attractions. Paired with getting rid of its many flawed sight lines into unintentionally bare backstage areas, and the park as a whole with multi-tiered themes starts to come alive.
