The Future of Lost Continent

It really is surprising that Universal hasn't built their version of Pirates of the Caribbean (boat ride where you don't get soaked). It's absolutely in their wheelhouse, provides a nice, air conditioned ride and has bonkers capacity. Universal, please do this!

More specifically SHANGHAI's Pirates of the Caribbean. Man... that thing is incredible.
Here's to hoping that Creature's Black Lagoon Boat Ride Extravaganza scratches that itch.

They did in Singapore, it was a mess.

KFP in Beijing also seems just okay-solid. Nothing special.

Singapore's Madagascar attraction was stylized more in the vein of Cat in the Hat... some scenic design with basic animations. Linear.

I think Jake, and many others like myself, want an atmospheric-based attraction like Pirates of the Caribbean. Something with rich detail and several storylines, not just one linear storyline that becomes one and done attraction.

It's why I think lots of people want Universal to move away from the "and something goes wrong" attractions... it's been done to death. Mario Kart was a step in the right direction.

Something goes wrong…in multiple locations.

A ride where you can simply soak up the atmosphere you’re in like River Journey would be nice though.

Well, that was their attempt! lol

I think we could hope for something a little better from the current team than this one.

Designed during the peak "screenz are everything" era for the company. Hopefully not indicative of what Universal Creative in the mid-late 2020s would choose to design (absent mandates from above).

And I don't think that it's even that they need to fully "move away" from the "something goes wrong" storylines. Just mix it up a little more.

Ideally about twice the length of River Journey, but yes.
