T2:3D - Battle Across Time Memorial Thread

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.

Why does Japan seem to maintain their attractions better than ours?
I don’t have the money to go to Japan.
Why can’t Universal in U.S. just grow balls and maintain their attractions properly

It opened in 2001 vs 1996? USJ was never owned partially by Blackstone like UOR? You're looking for things to deem the sky is falling?

The problem with T2 is that Cameron meant for it to be a continuation of T2. The attraction dated itself regardless of new films in the franchise.

Work culture and quality standards overall are higher in Japan IMO

Attractions are refurbished/maintained regularly...Terminator was probably deemed "not worth it" by Orl management.....Do we fix up the old car or get a new one?

And yet we're still stuck with Shrek 4D, which is a direct continuation of the first movie!

Not for long

We can only hope.

Terminator is an iconic movie and is still relevant to this day, it always has been. Remember the reference in Ready Player One?

I have to say, I have not heard anyone give two drops of warm urine about the RPO movie since it came out, except for theme park fanboys. I'm not knocking anyone here, just making an observation.

The Iron Giant was also featured, I haven't watched it in years

 

[Imperius]

Yeah using references in RPO as showing something’s relevance isn’t gonna work. The movie and book is just a look at this nostalgia. Nothing more.

I believe @tankart150 was referencing/joking about a discussion ongoing in the 4th gate thread concerning classic properties. Probably not being serious y’all.

Please only reference The Meg, thank you @tankart150

Is it bad that it still seems to me like T2 just opened.....which would’ve been right after my 8th grade “graduation”.......and we are taking my daughter there this summer right after her 8th grade “graduation”? Geez, time goes too fast! :bigeye:

I was working at Universal Studios Florida when we got the newsletter announcing it to the team members.....I was around 15 years old

 

[tankart150]

I’m not joking. It still is very relevant. Look at all the developments on AI. Universal even updated the pre-show, even though some parts were left unfinished.

I’m sorry I’m double posting, but, I wish I was old enough back then.

 

[ChrisFL]

it was also my first and the only job I ever got fired from I worked on the boardwalk games in Amity (RIP)

 

[WebHead1138]

I have a feeling that this is going to be another throwaway attraction like FFSC. It’s crazy to me that Universal no longer makes great attractions based on there OWN IPs. The only one I recently liked was Kong. They seem to be more interested in putting there maximum efforts with there licensed IPs. This is a strategy that I just don’t understand. My humble opinion.
