Universal Studios Florida: What Do We Think About It?

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

DARK. RIDE.

In isolation, as (hypothetically) a B/C-ticket offering to flesh-out an overall Minions Land that had a dark ride and a coaster, or something, I might agree.

But in the park's current state, I think it's basically the last thing it needed. If you want a Minions-heavy screen-based attraction, the superior Minion Mayhem is just across the street. If you want a shooter, the (infinitely) superior MIB is ten minutes across the park.

It’s basically the same issue as WEB Slingers in California Adventure: an extraneous and inferior version of a concept that already exists in the park.

In other words…

Genuinely, kinda how it's been feeling to go back to Disney World after primarily frequenting UOR North Campus for awhile. UDX has definitely been aggressive in expansion post-Potter, but there have only been a few offerings that truly match the level of the mouse down the road.

Yeah, I was actually gonna say something similar, since I've been starting to go back to Disney recently with friends about once or twice a month, and while I do prefer going to Universal now with a much more stress-free and still very fun experience, Disney quality is still very much on a different level.

It's another example of Unchained earning its universal praise, because it truly is the closest Universal has come to being on that same level of something as Rise and arguably surpassing it.

Yes. Stress free and tour as you feel at the moment, along with the close to everything campus appeal, puts a Universal vacation experience above a WDW vacation experience, for me. But, with all the new Disney stuff in the past decade, their parks are probably a tad better. And the Disney entertainment, show attractions and night shows, are heads and tails above a Universal that relegates non ride stuff to a lower emphasis, especially when it comes to continuity of night shows and parades.
