Universal's New Park/Site B Blue Sky Thread

If it was never intended to be enclosed, is it "unfinished?"

Ehh, I've heard conflicting things on this. I guess "unfinished" depends on how much leeway you give them when they discovered they couldn't logistically enclose the thing.

If they discovered it before they started going vertical, then I'll say it wasn't "planned" to be enclosed.

Fair enough.

I'd argue they should have come up with an alternate plan, then, to make the backside of the mountain more aesthetically pleasing (perhaps a more manageable temple facade). They didn't do that, so I feel criticisms of the final result are fairly warranted.

Volcano enclosed or not; they still under delivered on their marketing promise. Both on theme and concept.
Sorry, didn’t mean to derail.
My point is...UOR still makes mistakes, and their most recent blunders weren’t that long ago.

As long as Nintendo’s awesome I’m good. I’d still be upset if the rest of the park stunk effectively making it like the wait for Nintendo was extended for nothing but I’d still finally have my dream land.

There is a lot of potential fur Nintendo land, let’s hope they live up to expectations

I'd recommend setting your expectations pretty close to where they were when it was going into Kidzone.

I’m just worried the Dreamworks attractions will just end up being childrens’ rides with only one real major E-Ticket. I hope they spread some of the kids attractions out instead of feeling as if they have to condense it into one world.

I think the idea is worlds with several lands inside them. Also every ride doesn’t have to be an E ticket. Some D, C and even B tickets are alright to round out the attractions.

They will be family rides I’m sure. Which is what they should be.

DreamWorks will be like Fantasyland. The highest thrill probably being HTTYD.

I think it will be significantly bigger than Fantasyland, but yes

I’m not debating that, I just don’t want them to limit themselves to D and C tickets just because they’re based on animated movies.

I don’t think you’ll have to worry about that

Family rides can be E-Tickets. Thrills don't automatically make a ride an E-Ticket.

I’m not implying that either, I just mean that I’m hoping they’d go to the length they’d go for any other attraction in terms of theming and immersiveness, rather than just plopping down a couple of ok-themed flat rides and calling it a day.

Other than a carousel, something like Dumbo, or a tea cup style ride, I don't expect any other flat rides.

I was about to say there are not too many flat ride choices out there. Uni can get creative with the theme but that is about it as far as “plussing” them goes.

This is nowhere close to true. There aren’t many in existing Uni/Disney theme parks, but there is a crazy amount of variety

 

[Bulldog45]

What do we think are the most realistic Dreamworks IPs to go in here? My guesses are:

Shrek (Far Far Away)
How to Train Your Dragon
Kung Fu Panda

Any chance Madagascar sneaks in or is that not sustainable? Rumor has it that Trolls may pop in KidZone down the road so I'm leaving that off the list.
