Universal's New Park/Site B Blue Sky Thread

[tielo]

Like using the same system and building? I could easily get in board with that.

No, give ET a Pirates of the Caribbean dark ride upgrade and put Stranger Things in the new park. Having the bikes on the end of a robot arm would make for an even more immersive ride and freedom.

I like stranger things but I don’t think it would transition well to theme park ride. The house was.... ok. Not the best house of hhn 28 imo

People need to be realistic when it comes to TV shows. The chances that Stranger Things will still be anywhere near popular enough to have a permanent attraction in a theme park by the time this park opens are super slim. Look at TWD in USH. They opened that and it's nowhere near the cultural juggernaut it was.

 

[Legacy]

Seriously, Stranger Things isn't getting a permanent attraction. Legitimately, the best you can hope for is them opening the house you already have (with fewer scares/different lighting package) during normal park hours.

Bringing this up from JP, to bring up of the potential subject of SNW for the impending dry park.

I found out today that the coaster is coming from Mack and they are also doing coaster work for the Nintendo projects.

I know there’s been rumors of DK changing from its original plans, but the KidZone version was definitely not Mack. That could’ve changed by now I guess.

I’d be happy with a DK Mack coaster, but I don’t think it’s happening.

I know Dynamic Attractions has a facility in Orlando. Wouldn’t be cool if they used it to test new rides for Fantastic Worlds ?

No. Stick with companies with attractions not in development hell and pushed back multiple times.

I don't mind one or two experimental rides but they need to go for tested and tried rides. The last thing Universal want is a repeat of USF opening day where nothing worked.

Are OES pretty decent ?

Yes Oceaneering is pretty good at what they do.

I mean, Mack does have Omnimovers. Perhaps what @GAcoaster was hearing may relate to Yoshi, considering that is rumored to be an Omnimover of some kind.

Tell that to their Flying Theaters.

That would be sad, we would never see a unique ride system anymore with that attitude.

You can have innovative rides just don't use companies with a bad track records. Dynamic attractions solo creations not made in conjunction with any other coaster company tend to not be great or open on time.

Tell that to their Flying Theaters.

Which is there only thing they know how to do extremely well on their own...Disney hasn't used them for the flying theater since Soarin was put in Epcot.

Well according to theme park USB has Dynamic as a ride supplier so we may see them use them for FW.

Who built Kong and F&F our of interest?

Weeell, I started the rumor that it was the company that built the shipping container vehicles but it has since come to my attention that Oceaneering was involved... so... perhaps it was the technology of one executed by the other... it’s unclear.

Yeah, I’d want to keep it a secret if I built it as well.

Yep. Oceaneering built everything but the autonomous platform, which was provided by VDL.
