This may not be knowable, but do we have any idea of what they opening day attraction capacity will be like compared to, say, opening day AK?
Need to check out the series as well. Like the Lilo & Stitch series, it takes place between the films to expand the story further...
As for the park. It offers up something NEW instead of more of the same. Also it is geared towards the more "adventurous" kids looking for a mild thrill (or intense thrill for those tall enough for the flat ride!).

Didn't Animal Kingdom open with only two rides? Or three, if we're counting the Discovery River Boat shuttle service?
This has to be well, well above that. I'm guessing in the ballpark of IOA's opening lineup.
I believe it had nine attractions with theater shows included (but not including things like the Bone Yard or the Exploration Trail).Didn't Animal Kingdom open with only two rides? Or three, if we're counting the Discovery River Boat shuttle service?

I believe this is everything:Ignoring the random animal exhibits:
- Kilimanjaro Safari
- Pangani Trail
- Jungle Trek
- Rafiki's Planet Watch
- Tough to be a Bug
- River Boats
- Festival of the Lion King
- Flights of Wonder
- Dinosaur
- Journey into Jungle Book
10 attractions. 2 actual rides (Not counting River Boats and Rafiki Train Ride). It's a hard comparison to make.
IOA had 16, with 11 actual rides (Not Counting the Tours). I believe Epic is around 13/14 with 11/12 rides?
God I honestly hate that part of the announcementGuys guys guys, didn’t you hear the announcement? Epic will have 50 different experiences.
I don't "hate" (strong word) it. It's fair and if you ever saw kids spending 15 minutes at a water play area or some teens with a wand doing magic at Potter you'd understand. Most rides are on a e-ticket level, that is more than most theme parks have.God I honestly hate that part of the announcement
Claiming that the Park has “Over 50 Experiences”, forgetting to mention that only about 10-15 of those are Attractions, the rest being Shops and Dining. And like, if they’re gonna be bold and call a Splash Pad an “Attraction”, what counts as part of the 50? Is every individual Power-Up Band Activity in SNW counted individually? Is every Wand Magic Activity in Wizarding World counted? Universal is being weird and vague about it to make the Park seem like it has more than it actually does
Yeah Hate maybe wasn't the right word to use, I just think it's a little sillyI don't "hate" (strong word) it.

This reminds me - is the restaurant in Dark Universe full service? Or are the full service restaurants in Celestial Park?To be fair, we don't know the full or half the details on the restaurant in that land (yet). Although I'm sure it'll probably be similar to a European tavern (....The Slaughtered Lamb!!..) or similar...
Eitherway.... mmm stake, I mean steak..
I think Pokemon in Studios makes more sense, you want to spread out the Nintendo IPs and not bunch them in one park. HTTYD is much more popular than you think and even for those that don't know it, dragons will appeal to them. You want IPs that even if you aren't into that IP the land itself will appeal to most and I don't know very many kids that don't like dragons.Honestly I think that Pokémon is more popular and multigenerational than HTTYD and even than the Minions. I think a Pokéworld would have been more profitable in merchan and generate more hype than Dragons. Of course only Uni and Nintendo know if it was possible.
BTW I don't know if it has been mentioned before, but the park is 4 of 5 areas inspired by Europe.
And this is another thing. You are the second person I know to say this. So many will watch the movies before going to the park which is even more revenue. I know my friend's husband is super happy his kids now want to see the movies after seeing the park reveal this week as he loves the movies and prior his girls weren't into watching them. Now they want to watch the movies.I see. I didn't know HTTYD was this popular. So sounds like they want to give the public a park experience now due to this. I've seen the first one and will definitely have to watch the other 2 now.
