I've meant to bring this up. I have no idea why these are not behind scrims as they look terrible in the park and it's been like this since at the very least the turn of the new year.

They've looked terrible since Blackstone owned the parks IMO :ninja:

But actually, idk how it works with coaster clearance and whatever

Or perhaps it was warranted as unnecessary because the refurb occurs so infrequently

Either way, I think they should consider removing Rip Rid Rockit

HRRR isn't in the way of them maintaining these at all.

Wouldn't a scrim be on some scaffolding bringing it too close to the ride envelope or are my eyes playing tricks on me

They'd have to be careful with the facade near the track, but there's also a scrubbed out facade on the other side of the street that could very easily have scaffolding up.

That's kind of unacceptable.

My hope for 2024 is that once they are complete with all of these infrastructure-related upgrades to the park, we can see refurbs to rides like MIB, Cat in the Hat, and ET to prepare for EU.

MIB could use some new blasters and a few new AAs probably

They've added some new effects in recent years that I feel have gone unnoticed (air blast at the end for one)

Agree, I also believe MIB would benefit from projection mapping and screenz on some of the windows.

Get you hate speech out of this auditorium

Universal: Open the closed theaters to alleviate the crowding already!!!

I think once Epic opens MIB might be going. The reason I think so is 1: they have a new shooter with Villains, and 2: that rumored broomstick ride to replace FF never happened, part of me thinks that maybe they decided to hold off and get an even even bigger area by getting rid of MIB too.

I don't think the broomsticks are ever coming.

Thank goodness, they can do better IMO
