T2:3D - Battle Across Time Memorial Thread

I heard a couple interesting rumors this week and then a ran into this photo and thought it was interesting.

I feel Universal would have a modified version of this if they ever went for it

Who knows, I'm not getting my hopes up as it has been rumored those expansions are for backstage areas

That image is from a show reel of the motion theater concept by Dynamic Attractions. It was one of the earliest things we speculated in this thread actually, but doesn't seem to be the way they went with this project... Funny that the left and right flanks in that image are kind of reminiscent of the building expansions though lol.

I had thought early on that they may use the Dynamic Attraction's theater, but that would make it a ride and would be under Universal Creative. From what I understand, this is a Universal Entertainment project.

Yeah, the ride system is not what I found interesting. There are several show elements in that photo that line up with rumors I heard.

Remove the moving seat platform and you may be on to something.

Wow, they have really blasted both sides out of the theater. Looks promising!

If you look closely in the second picture you can see a famous couple backstage. :sneaky::look:

Wow, that picture is literally about one second away from some character integrity issues.

Still surprised that this didn’t become a Sing on Tour attraction(like the one announced in Japan). Maybe Universal felt that they needed to balance the park with more adult IP attractions? Since the entrance of the park has DM and Shrek. Idk I’m just thinking out loud at this point.

It already was an "adult IP Attraction" before when it was Terminator. I think they simply wanted to do another stunt show.

Trying to find the old posts that said this would never stretch to 2019 to open.

Excuse me? Since day one this was a 2019 project.

It was always 2019.

I agree with Nick - they probably just wanted to freshen up the IP, and otherwise leave the more "adult" feel to it.

Hmm, well that then makes me wonder of what @RollermanDan said via the latest update video from him.

That’s just not something I’ve heard. And I’ve heard about the side and back expansions we’re seeing here. You’d think I woulda caught wind of news for a rotating theater installation. But, I guess you never know with USF and planning stages nowadays lol.

to somewhat abridge a Jim Carrey quote..

So you're saying, there's a chance that Dynamic may actually be involved?

I still don’t understand why they wanted to change to change the I.P. because there’s a new Terminator movie coming out in late 2019
From making two of the worst rides I’ve been on, and closing Terminator, and penny-pinching lockers, Universal has been making some poor decisions lately.

They tried that with Genisys. They gave up on waiting for more Terminator movies to make the attraction relevant. And as I have been saying lately, they want to focus more on their own franchises lately.

Then why is the one in Japan still open?

Our theater was falling apart. Either needed a new screen and revamp, which would mean doubling down on the Terminator franchise for another decade+, or take this opportunity to insert a new property.
