Almost all coasters, even the big ones, are only one and a half to three minutes long real ride time. That's just the way the genre is. Not going to get much attraction time unless it slows up for a dark scene like 7 Dwarfs does. The only real long coaster I've ever been on was the woodie, The Beast, in King's Island, that's around 5 minutes long.

Exactly. To prove that point, The Hulk is exactly 1:30 run time. It packs much more of a punch than Slinky will, sure, but we don't have to act like it's a shocker for coasters to be this time length.

Ah, I glanced over the "2017" bit. Yeah, if he's trying to suggest that the land would be opening next May, then just throw that one out the window.

Next May? lol Even when people said 2017 it was late 2017, like December. So May is just not ever gonna happen.

I've never really looked at it but The Great Movie ride building is a lot smaller than I imagined it would be.

What's even weirder about them starting demolition is one of those office buildings back there (I forgot which one.) has sat empty since MyMagic+ development moved off property in late 2014.

Speaking of MyMagic+, apparently a lot of planned features were cut late in development just to focus everything on getting the thing ready for testing.

that's usually how Disney works.They come up with say 10 ideas and only about 4-6 ever get used.I heard that somewhere at Disney is a room full of files of ideas that got as far as the concept faze even having concept art but for one reason or another they just didn't get used.

I guarantee you that Uni has files like this. Less of them since they have not been around as long, but they have them. Most creative companies have this type of stuff because better ideas are presented and they go with those.

I'm thinking this too, which makes me wonder if what Univeral had planned for the newly acquired land when they had it before and if they're now starting from scratch or dusting off old designs.

Since the world of theme parks and technology has changed so much I would think they would start from scratch. The only part I could see them using is the layout of the park, but who knows if this particular chunk of land was where their plans were for. There was a lot more land Uni owned back in the day that is not part of this new acreage.

Looks like the expansion of TSMM may finish a little sooner than most thought because the closing of the main attraction to reroute the queue and stuff is happening in March.

That certainly makes it less interesting. Wonder if it was a casualty of value/cost engineering?

That was probably the most interesting part of the ride, but also one of the most expensive parts.

Yup. I can't say I'm nearly as interested without those features.

Remember when they compared this land to Cars Land? Lol
