It if there’s a conveyer belt.... wouldn’t it all be one straight line? That to me then sounds small in scale, I just don’t see that aspect being true. Plenty of cast members to move people along if needed, plus a quick pre show video in the queue saying how much you can test out or whatever. That’ll make it repeatable for kids.
When we were there in mid June 2021 they used both theaters. We were in both of them. The lines spilled out of the extended queues and into the street. Of course, the parks were very crowded then. On our trip in mid November 2021, before Thanksgiving week, I only noticed the front theater open....and the lines were quite long, filling into the extended queue. ....
The lines are in the same extended queue, but they route you to the second theater entrance which is near the back alley. Both theaters could be open, but you might not notice it unless you were in the extended queue, or asked the CM if both theaters were open. Over the years, if there's a large queue crowd, and I don't have Express, I've gotten in the habit of asking the CM on the line if both theaters are open, thus I can judge the real wait better. .
Maybe the DreamWorks destination is a sign of things to come for Kidzone. They can do something like Pixar Pier at DCA and have an area of mix and match DreamWorks IP, like a copy of the DreamWorks Theatre in the former Barney plot if Villain Con goes where Shrek is, and some other dark ride in the same vain as Midway Mania and WEB SLINGERS. This dark ride concept would more than likely involve demoing Woody's nuthouse coaster and the Fievel pay area
They would much rather do an expensive re theme of kid zone, due to land constraints and overall direction universal has been going in. I think Pokémon is the most likely answer but a dream works land could work as well. Pokémon would probably be more profitable IMO.
:thumbsup:...I used to respect @Mad Dog as a veteran theme parker who knows his stuff. But this news that he waited in a long line for Shrek not once, but TWICE (!) changes everything. :grin:
............The food lines were even longer back in June when they had that disaster ordering food with your smartphone system. Damn, that was the worst system ever. In reality, the Shrek line waits weren't all that bad since they used both theaters. And to make my opinion look even worse....I actually really like Shrek. So much for my tastes I guess ....Heck, people must still like Shrek. I've been going to Universal for 20 days plus a year, for a decade, and Shrek just about always has a line long enough to fill up the pre show area.
I made the mistake of going on it one last time. The seats constantly bucking is just awful, I should have went with the non moving seats.
Yes. If it's kept as a primarily young kids area, that could be easily rejuvenated on a fairly minor budget.
It’s gotta be bulldozed, once HTTYD, SNW, and possibly SLOP as well at least, kidzone will look awful for any child. It needs a total re-do.
