They could’ve used that same writer for Stranger Things just saying

Sorry, but I know nothing about Stranger Things. Was it a good or bad series finale?

Good show. Anti climactic ending....Just like Bourne.......They need a writer that can finish a story..............Terminator had that great ending,
Universal needs to track down that writer.

If anyone from Uni is lurking, I may have been that writer. Maybe? Just give me a call.

I think it would've been more impressive if a live actor came out as...

Spoiler

Newt Scamander, even if obscured. Seeing an actor on a screen is not as impressive as all the live performers we've been watching and his audio dubbing is god awful. Why are we hearing him breathe into the microphone??

I don't think attractions like Untrainable, Cirque, or Ministry are designed with that traditional "anticipation into payoff" structure. They all showcase their coolest effects by the halfway point of the experience, at latest; and in the case of Ministry, they show off the coolest part literally in the very first room of the queue. Because of that, I personally feel like the latter halves of those experiences drag a bit.

It's like having the Fantasmic Maleficent or Steamboat show up at the start of the show, or walking inside of the AT-AT hanger bay the moment you enter the queue. The "grand finale" is a pretty important aspect of experiences like these imo. There are certainly grand things to be seen here, but they show their hand far too quickly for it to feel satisfying, at least to me.

To be blunt: Well, that sucks.

You're right.
