Even then, there are numerous attractions of varying thrill and type in both parks, and neither park is no worse off than any of the Florida Disney parks in that respect.What if that person only got a one-park ticket?

I don’t think you understand. If a person has a one-park ticket and Mummy is closed, that’s it. If ET closes, there’s no other all-ages practical ride in Studios. If MIB closes, there’s no other mid-thrill family ride (that isn’t F&F).Even then, there are numerous attractions of varying thrill and type in both parks, and neither park is no worse off than any of the Florida Disney parks in that respect.

I like that Universal still views its parks as two separate experiences.I don’t think you understand. If a person has a one-park ticket and Mummy is closed, that’s it. If ET closes, there’s no other all-ages practical ride in Studios. If MIB closes, there’s no other mid-thrill family ride (that isn’t F&F).
Universal has only started leveling out with one-day, two-park tickets in the last few years. There’s still a large percentage of daily guests that only buy a one-park. For them, it doesn’t matter what’s in the other park. Because of that Universal looks at refurbishments based on parks, and not the resort.
Conversely, Disney has effectively gotten a point where the majority of daily guests are on park-hoppers.
No, I understand, I’m just arguing that the parks have enough on their own as they are right now to justify a proper refurbishment schedule.I don’t think you understand.

It's funny. I remember the tepid initial response to Revenge of the Mummy when it debuted in 2004. Many criticized the reliance on the lengthy preshow footage (much of which isn't even really accessible anymore!) to understand the plot of the attraction, the lackluster/baffling ending, the overall short length, and the "cheap" cut outs on the coaster portion. Many felt it paled in comparison to KONGfrontation.
I saw this with me growing up with Hipogriff and Atlantis. Fully agree.Yup! It’s why I’m always cautious when fandom people peg a ride as a failure off the get go. A lot of people move into the community growing up with the ride and it becomes popular and loved. My prediction is the next ride to get this is Fallon.

I think the ride has some adventurous charm with a little bit of cheese just like the moviesIn fairness, I think all of these are very justified criticisms, but I think the idiosyncrasies of the ride have ended up making it a sort of cult favorite among theme park lovers - and the general public just enjoys "mummies + indoor coaster."

Or, now here me out, you don't change them in honor of a ride you enjoy.
Don’t worry, I’d never actually change my name. It’s my favorite ride of all time it’s never going to leave my brain. Riding this at least once for all 10 days this coming April just Incase I’m not back until EU. My record for amount of mummy rides per trip is 15, I plan to break that.
I don't even think it will become a cult classic. It has no charm.I can't wait for Fast & Furious Supercharged to get this treatment

Best part of the whole rideI frankly think Fallon is a fine ride. Is it a little cringe? Maybe, but I don't mind Jimmy Fallon, and the motion base is fantastic.
I mean, the only thing that gets me on once a trip is the promise of getting a wink from the Rock. If that's not charm, then I don't know what is. /s
