Universal Studios Beijing (Now Open)

[Coolbfitz]

In Japan, it really makes no sense being there since there's already Snoopy's Great Race around the corner from the Hogsmeade entrance.

The guys over at Themeparx found more images from Weibo, as Hogwarts begins to rise and has been topped off..

F&F Supercharged

I'm sorry, I thought I heard you say F&F was coming to Universal Beijing

How do you say "welcome to the family" in Mandarin?

Well you have to have one crap attraction in the park to make all the others look better. :shrug:

 

[RFRees]

It's possible the F&F ride is extremely cheap to clone. I imagine a lot of the cost was in production/filming/post-production of the video/cgi, and development of tech. Once that's all already done, just building it again might be super cheap.

That and the fact that the Beijing park had been in development for years, so they probably have the greenlight to F&F Beijing before the realized it is a disaster.

It's also possible the Beijing market is more accepting of the ride.

F&F is HUGE in international box office since it translates so easily. Who knows, maybe their version will be improved and then the improvements can be implemented in Florida too.

Here's an improvement...


To be fair I think there are supposedly improvements signed off for USB like animatronic drivers. Personally I'd prefer a basic launch coaster with car shaped coaster cars over Supercharged.

If that attraction roster is correct, the park will already have an imbalance of screen attractions on day 1. Surprised they might get it so wrong when Universal Studios Singapore really had the right variety.

The Chinese market *loves* screen rides.

Looking at that hypothetical/rumored lineup, it really does kind of feel underwhelming (from a Stateside guest viewpoint, of course). Lots of clones/re-themes, with really only the KFP water ride and Gyrosphere ride being the unknown quantities or opportunities for signature, park-exclusive E-tickets.

They also have the Jurassic World E-ticket suspended coaster, but yeah, that's pretty much everything. It'll still be a great park though.

I kinda agree, but the way they are building the lands looks top notch - Potter theming levels for Jurassic World?! :exclap:and I would imagine most of the rides will be the best version of the ride.

I guess they decided they don't really need to appeal to an international marketplace when they have 1.4 billion potential visitors in China.

I think this lineup is fine. Gyrosphere and JW alone sound amazing and worth visiting along with KFP. Its also kind of all their best stuff id argue that are still from relevant properties

To be fair I haven’t ridden it yet but ya.... they must make $ on murchandise and it’s cheap so from business perspective I get it. But ya ugh

 

[GAcoaster]

Every park needs a variety of experiences. Really think of the old Disney A-E Ticket structure. Not everything is an E-Ticket. Some have got to be A,B,C,D. Most of the lineup mentioned is solid C,D,E so you need a couple of A,B level things too.
