Secret Life of Pets attraction coming? (USH)

[ThemeParks4Life]

If the 2/3 split happens, I guess that pretty much confirms Single Rider.

Can't Louis CK replace Fallon? Just a musion screen of his stand up? That would be heaven

Too funny. I know I lot of things... but I didn't know what the plot of the film would be. HA!

I am such a goon!

Lol - That was the first thing I did when I saw this post was go and see what the basic plot of the movie was. Google is your friend

Didn't think much to the Cinema Trailer but I think this will make an interesting ride. I've asked before but are we talking early 2017 and a quick development, or more a holiday season 2017 opening? Guessing that for early 2017, construction will have to start reasonably soon?

It's good that that side of the park will become relevant to people who don't want to go on a water ride with this and Kong opening.

I am thinking late 2017, but I don't think anyone really knows if it will be in 2017 or when. I think a final timeline probably has not been worked out yet.

I agree with Kong and this will really make that side of the park much better. It shows me Uni knew they had an issue with that part of the park where a lot of people walked thru two whole lands without really stopping because of how heavily water focused they were.

I'm kidding, no way that could work. Wouldn't it be awesome though?

Toon Lagoon probably in the end needs to rid themselves of one of the water rides, I recommend Dudley. That along with all the spray stuff in the area. Walking thru it is absolutely disgusting sometimes.

Hopefully Volcano Bay will ease some of those woes.

Can't argue with this. Hopefully this incorporates more UOR properties that are exiled from USF (Fievel and Woody) along with new properties like Minions. Would be a solid land.

While I think a Fievel Goes West overlay of Popeye would work and be awesome I don't think they are going to do that. Woody would be cool as some sort of wild mouse dark ride hybrid. But unless he's getting a new movie I just don't see that happening either. I believe Illumination has turned their back on the development of a Woody film.

Yea, they cancelled that a while ago.

I'm not saying attractions, I'm saying the "home" of the characters, with playgrounds, meet and greets, and more. I think Popeye will stay, Dudley will go (theme? attraction?) and others will come in to replace Gasoline Alley and Cathy... :ack:

I would have preferred it as a possible Shrek replacement and make that area Illumination Blvd or whatever, but all the rumors suggest IOA - so it is what it is.

that would have made much more sense, cute pets on one side,minions on the other....... too bad

scoop up "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs", that would make for a hilarious and awesome rapids ride. SPA also comes with Hotel Tranyslvania, which lends itself to a dark ride much like SLoP, so I'm not sure what they can do with that, but it's something.
.

Hotel Transylvania would need to be a screen ride if it got made... dont think those characters would translate well if animatronic
but i would love a hotel ride

I know nothing of SLOP going into 28 at USH, but if true, this soundstage was the one that housed the Opera theater set for the original silent film, Phantom of the Opera (1925), starring Lon Chaney.

So that everyone has their bearings:

That theater is haunted....

Folks love animals, much like their love of dinosaurs, fast cars, Wizards....I just feel that if Illumination was able to get us to love the personalities of the Minions, they should have no problem getting us to fall for personalities they create for pets...which can then make for merch sales...which they can be cross promoted by creating a fun theme park inviorment for the whole family...I just see it more as UNI starting to focus more on their own brands as opposed to paying to promote IP's they do not own.

The greatest thing about this movie is that the animals talk.... That makes a world of difference.

not only for the success of the movie but the success of the ride as well.
problem with minions is that they dont talk, but here they can do whatever they want. it is a big help

Nevermind

Is anyone hearing anything about this maybe being in Universal Hollywood only?

No, though even if it was going there first, how often does something get built on one coast and not the other?

good point.

 

[Quint]

Hmmm...are they adding this to create a more diverse offering in IOA or are they doing it (as they did inside USF with transformers) as a preemptive capacity strike to something bigger coming down the line (USF with Diagon)?

"Why not both?"

 

[ChrisFL]

Ehh, I'm not too excited about the source material so far....there's so many other IP's they could use with that ride system.

Like? I think they are trying to appeal the kids and adults here and make this a true family ride that everyone will enjoy. What other IPs out there do you think fit that bill that Universal has rights to?

Okay, seeing where this is coming from now. I could possibly see it not being built concurrently and USH is getting it first, meaning the 2017 date for IoA is wrong. I still don't see it not being cloned. They clone everything. They're "cloning" that joke of a F&F concept, they'll clone this.

Only way that doesn't happen is if 1) Hollywood doesn't get Diagon or 2) Hollywood isn't getting the same level of Nintendo investment.

Yep, just look at Kong and what a piece of junk clone that is. Rubber stamp crap!
