I think it's JP that is supposed to get a major refurb...

 

[Ashhanbre]

I hope whatever this ride is way better than Journey. It's honestly not all that great, TBH.

 

[12th Man]

Ya' never know!

 

[UniversalRBLX]

Well, someone got fired. :look:

 

[Viator]

Ya' never know!

I hear Dynamic is looking for a new Social Media rep...

That said, from information I slightly heard from the past; SFX seems the most likely bet for the DC replacement. That said, I am interested to see what they do for an attraction system like that.

 

[Imperius]

Sooooooo are we going the SFX now? Does this 90% confirm that or? If so, super pumped about this.

Not a confirmation, but with everything linking Dynamics and Universal working together its pretty obvious.

 

[Imperius]

This is the first link I've seen so news to me. I know we had people assuming here, but no one ever said for sure.

I think that cake at IAPPA made it quite clear.

At least for Beijing

I wouldn't put too much into it. Looking at their twitter, theyre all over the place. Articles and videos about Slinky dog being installed, etc. - which has nothing to do with them.

What cake?

 

[UniversalRBLX]

What cake?

There was a large sign outside of the Dynamic Attractions booth at IAPPA that thanked Universal.

If it was a sign and not a cake, then the cake was a lie.

So something occured to me a little while ago... Disney has made an effort to create merchandise for BOTH Great Movie Ride & Universe of Energy. Yes, that is a terrible cash grab on their part & is a little insulting that both rides have existed for as long as they have with zero merchandise.

Anyway, with that being said.. I find it odd & interesting that while Dueling Dragons DID have a giftshop & merchandise, Dragons Challenge does not. Can't remember if Flying Unicorn had anything. Potter has a crap ton of merchandise (some of it very generic), but not even a tshirt for "Flight of the Hippogriff".

So with the completely unfortunate demise of Dragons Challenge, its a little disappointing that there isn't a tshirt or anything for the rebranded coaster. This was definitely a missed opportunity for merchandise. Stuffed Hungarian Horntail & Chinese Fireball dragons. A shirt for both dragons. A shirt for the coaster itself featuring both dragons. :cry:

Universal has never been good at building nostalgia whereas Disney's reputation is based on years of nostalgia building.

Universal has never been good at building nostalgia whereas Disney's reputation is based on years of nostalgia building.

Personally, I think that while it is obviously a cash-grab it is also a great idea for fans of the ride to be able to grab a last minute piece of memorabilia for a ride that spans many peoples childhoods and adult life. Yeah, they are both tired, yeah it is time for them to go I would say, but people will still remember them. As mentioned, Universal is a nostalgic place for me and a place I will always love but they don't harness the same emotional nostalgia as Disney manage to do. I think nostalgia is in everything Disney do. That being said, I would have loved a Dragon Challenge t-shirt, as much as I wish I had purchased something relating to Duelling Dragons. I am sad to see the ride go, but I am more than confident that whatever replaces it will be very well done.

 

[JungleSkip]

It's super overrated. Not even in the top 3 attractions at TDS, and not in the top five at the resort.

Hope they don't build the walls too tall
