United Parks is finally dying

>>2869932
Good. Hopefully this makes Universal get off its ass and start fixing the rides they've allowed to delipidate. The Seuss family should sue over the state of Cat in the Hat and Rowling should demand they fix the whomping willow and dragon animatronics on FJ

Halloween store has been moved to the front of the park. Not sure who buys the really overpriced shit from there in the first place.

>>2869930
So does anyone know if BG has a wait times app?

I kind of want to go even though its going to be packed with Spring Breakers who basically slam the place from March to April before the Summer Breakers slam it from June - Early August.

Do you guys actually go to parks or is this place like /v/ where everyone just complains while not actually playing games?

>>2869993
Avoid the 2 or 3 actual spring break weeks
Don't go on Fri/Sat/Sun

>>2869997
The actual weeks have already begun my friend. I'm seeing children everywhere. The schools don't release kids the same week. They each choose their own week throughout April and March.

>>2869999
That's why I said avoid the 2 or 3 actual spring break weeks, and beyond that avoid going on Fridays and weekends

Not sure if I'm going to want to go with them if it's delayed again. I'm sure it would be a fun day but it's a 9 hour drive each way and I'd have to go back eventually to ride Stardust. They do want to go to BGT as well but I was just there.

Both. She shouldn't be recording anyone but her own family with him.

But his response was very creepy. Like he went way overboard. This literally was triggering and hard to watch. Hes a very handsome man and his evil voice while she's just being friendly was creepy.

Let's discuss how we think AI is going to be used in theme parks.

An obvious one is the CAD work that goes into rides and permitting. I think the backend stuff is gonna start going much faster. Materials will be sourced faster. It's gonna be easier to make rides.

Another obvious one is crowd management. Not sure if they'd want to do this and nuke fastpass sales, but you could very easily implement a system now where each guest is steered around by their phones and spread everyone out keeping wait times low. I'm sure the Harvard MBAs will figure it out. Maybe an upcharge tier that just slots you out fastpass times all day and you walk on everything as long as you follow your personalized schedule.

A less obvious one is I think a fully trackless ride is now possible. And I mean totally trackless. The ride would have a large themed area and the guests could "drive" the vehicle through it and make live choices for where they want to go and how they want to get there and AI could monitor the whole thing and adapt the experience around it.

>>2870033
>Another obvious one is crowd management
>no bro genie+ will work this time i swear

>A less obvious one is I think a fully trackless ride is now possible
Disney just made the patent for cars land

>>2870029

I hope the UK Universal Studios Park is good. The British have done a lot for the world over the years.

>>2870034
>no bro genie+ will work this time i swear
If the premise is no wait times all day I think it will. Smart phone adoption is way different now so having the app just ping you and say "go to haunted mansion to walk on" seems like a dream for most families.

>Disney just made the patent for cars land
That's on a track. Not what I'm talking about.

>>2870033
90% of it will be ride ops efficiency savings and stock management with the occasional bit of "ai has noticed if we put the bubble wands next to the minnie ears sales of both jump 20%"

Speech synthesis will be a biggie. You could have a ride where dialogue is generated so you get one of 3 different scripts that are new everyday ( with a guy spending 20 minutes at the start of his shift checking for generated weirdness). You could have actors sounding like mickey or donald without needing to use a soundboard.

Cant see signiglficant unsupervised AI being something implemented, too many things to.go wrong

>>2870039
>That's on a track
What's your definition of a track?

>>2870045
I mean that specific ride is going to have an actual track that the arm is mounted on similar to DK:MM. What I mean is similar to a normal trackless but immensely more open. Possibly even outside. Could be as simple as guests interacting with some console in the vehicle and that picking one of 3 routes, or as complex as a large open area that guests can navigate through themselves. Not sure if that would be as exciting but it is possible now

>>2870133
It's been awhile since I've visited BGW, but Dollywood is definitely on par or perhaps even better. Being nestled in the Smoky Mountains really benefits it, and you feel completely removed from the outside world despite being right near a major tourist hub. It's one of the things that stood out the most to me when I visited.

One of the few good things about British parks is that most of them are in the middle of nowhere. Alton Towers is the grounds if a stately home near and is near a small village on the edge of a national park.

Most parks are either converted zoos/safari parks, stately homes or abandoned quarries/claypits (Universal UK is on a brickworks site)

I've been thinking about this a lot. You really have to be a Good Person to run a Disney park successfully. The culture that created Disney took joy in making families and children smile. It took joy in imagination and Innovation. UAE got rich from oil. Tourism is a whole other ballgame. Japan got it right because they have the humble, polite nature it takes to actually run a Disney park. Muslims are not Good People imho. Their religion was based on a pedophile who married a little girl. They slaughtered so many Armenians they could make mountains with the skulls.

In fact they're so bad at providing customer service, they have to import workers from the Philippines. These jungle island guys are better than locals at service but subpar compared to the White Christian American ethic that created these companies. It will fail. They don't have the meek and gentle culture it requires.

Urban explorer went to Discovery Island

>>2870217
Because on the first day I went there was a hazmat situation in Tomorrowland that sent 7 CMs to the hospital and closed that part of the park, causing the food and wine crowds to surge so much that drunks in scooters were plowing into people waiting in line for their food. The next day there was a huge bomb/swatting hoax that almost got the pair evacuated and the day after that was a brutal heatwave. I would find it very difficult to stay positive and helpful in conditions like that but pretty much every CM I interacted with was extremely kind, friendly and knowledgeable. I don’t think I could do that job! It takes a lot of grit!

>>2870222

Well, they could, but they'd need to have that skill first before they could use it.

I think it'll be fine. The secret's out, Walt isn't the only one who can make a theme park anymore.

Efteling is opening a kiddie drop-tower ride next to Baron 1898 this summer. They also closed their park show Raveleijn, and are adding a different show to their theater as a temporary replacement, but that's about it IIRC. Not much crazy stuff happening.
Tangentially related, but I just learned that they added Efteling references in both the Hong Kong and Paris versions of Arendelle, since they were both designed by Michel den Dulk, who started working in theme parks at Efteling. That's real cute.

Called it. Put it in the pile of failed Disney free-standing animatronics that were built purely to get shareholders excited. I think they should just give up and let Boston Dynamics/Tesla/The chinese companies develop the freestanding robot tech then just retrofit one to their needs.

>How is it any different from a creeper hanging out at a kids playground?
Cause it's not like that at all. That's how. You're comparing two diametrically opposed things. If a creepy guy was there doing creepy shit, then it would be, but some normal guy just riding it to check it out, it isnt inherent creepy unless you're one of those woke types that think all men are evil or some shit

>>2870977
I’m a daughter dad, and if I see some middle aged man riding a kiddie ride, surrounded by little kids (and little girls esp on rides like Frozen), people are going to think he’s there to film little girls, not some harmless autistic sperg

>>2870985
I mean I guess, but that doesn't mean its inherently the case. Depends entirely on the guy and his vibe and if you're ever there with a total weirdo, you, as a dad, just sit next to him with your kids on the other side. There's cameras and cops everywhere and I've never once heard a story about that sorta shit happening at disney on a ride. It's probably just an autistic guy

>>2870997
> It's probably just an autistic guy
Exactly what a pedo would say. Honestly though, I can somewhat understand Disney adults where it’s some childless roastie that’s extending her feeling of being young so that she doesn’t have to face the grim reality of being a self interested genetic dead end, and some beta male orbiter that has to go along with the delusion so he gets the occasional blowjob, but some single dude riding kiddie rides and obsessed with stuff that’s created FOR CHILDREN, will never not be creepy. Add filming to it, and you turn that creep into a certified pedo.

>>2870920
Frozen is for everyone.

>>2871008
If he's filming and acting weird, that would be a red flag and obviously a reason to call security.
But as a person who grew up knowing a deeply autistic guy that would love to go on rides, having people accuse him of being a pedo doesn't sit right with me. It's just entirely context-dependent.

This is a really dumb argument. I don't go to Disney and I'm definitely not a Disney adult, but I don't automatically associate riding the Frozen ride with nefarious intent unless the guy is a walking red flag.

Frozen isn't really fully a kids ride. Kids are gonna love it and it's the right amount of thrill for them, but an 80 year old grandma would also love it so is it a grandma ride too? If a mom brings her kids on the ride and smiles at something is she a terminal manchild? People gotta stop conflating family rides with kids rides.

This is a kids ride. If I see a grown ass dude on this I'm assuming he came last in fantasy football or is drunk out of his mind

I think he's going to improve it. I've long held the belief that after Eisner, the company began to fall. I really think they need a traditional white American guy in this role, not Jewish. They don't understand the wholesomeness we wanted in this company. Not the LGBT that Eisner brought.

>>2871373
How big is the new Avengers ride at DCA? Seems like an obvious choice to put in that spot given its proximity to Avengers Campus.
Since it's Paris they can even put in a half-baked version without the second ride just like they did for Frozen and planned to do for Star Wars.

>>2871376
It'd fit comfortably with space to spare. It's a small footprint building (likely is a 2 floor ride). You could possibly fit it in by demolishing the hero training academy too.

Can't see that happening though. Next phase of Adventure World is Lion King and Up (simple chair swing), after that, Avatar seems the most likely after that based on a big fuckup in the planning docs, likely built where Cars Road Trip is.

>>2871361
You’ve got it so backwards it’s impressive. Life being expensive is what drives people to have kids. You think they’re having kids at the replacement rate in the Netherlands? Japan? Switzerland? Norway? Fuck no. You know who has fuckloads of kids? Nigerians. Everything is expensive for Nigerians and they have tons of kids. We need to make things more expensive if we want the birth rate to go up.

Do you take them traveling and to the parks?

>>2871391
Because they are still culturally at a barely industrial level where having lots of kids benefitted agricultural and labor intensive work.

For those in the developed world, there is no inherent economic benefit to many children. In fact, because of the expenses associated with modern life, it's a detriment in the medium and long term, which migrants generally dismiss.

>>2871394
They’re more culturally advanced than any other society on earth. Reproducing is the baseline for being a functioning society. Single cell organisms understood this 4 billion years ago but Europe, the US, China and many other places can’t grasp this today. The “””””developed””””” world is literally inferior to prokaryotes.

For me personally, are matterhorn rides, rode it when i was a kid, i was clearly too small to ride it but they didn't care. Was about to fall out

Last night I dreamt I was on Tower of Terror but it was significantly different.
To set the scene, imagine that the existing tower is somehow like 5 times bigger and open on the inside. You first load onto a proper trackless vehicle ala Rise of the Resistance which takes you up and around at about midway up to tower. Theres a narrow but deep atrium all the way down to the ground level and the trackless vehicle takes you RIGHT on the edge with no guardrails whatsoever. Then the trackless vehicle stops, you unload and there's a small walkthrough attraction through various abandoned rooms. You take an elevator down (like a real one with no gimmicks) back to ground level where you board the second part of the ride which is simply what we have today mostly unchanged.

My dream was implying this was all one ride but realistically it's more like Tower of terror had like 3 billion dollars poured into it and was more of an indoor miniland pavillion like The Land at epcot. It had elements of mystic manor, haunted mansion, walkthroughs in addition to the existing drop tower.

I hate drops so ive only done ToT once in real life but the trackless car going up to and partially hanging over the ledge almost woke me up. I don't know if there could ever be something like that in real life.

TLDW: there's a rumour the next land at Paris after Lion King could be Moana rather than Avatar.

They'd do another water ride, especially not a big splash one but the idea of every land at the park being dominated by a signature peak is a pretty neat concept. Avatar land being saved for a third gate also is believable.

Maybe they could do an E-ticket family coaster along the lines of Expedition Everest? Especially if the Mandalorian coaster never happens.

They're contractually obligated to build one by a certain date or else the French government takes that plot of land back. Hong Kong Disneyland had a similar arrangement that Disney let lapse and the Chinese government has already turned that unused second gate land into apartments.

I forget the exact rule but it's something like 2030 as a hard deadline and 20million visitors to trigger an ultimatum. They probably won't hit 20mill before 2030 but they might get within 2 mill.

There's the question of what a third gate would look like but probably one of the three:

>older focused park with more coasters and a clone of villains land
>Fantasy Springs type dense fairytale land
>Epic Universe style completely immersive lands (seems doubtful as that feels like what Adventure world should have been rather than watered down 1 ride, 1 food place, 1 shop)

>>2871593
It's funny that DLP has gotten nothing new since the 2000s solely because the 2nd park is so shit it soaks up all the investment in Paris

Visiting Fantasy Springs proved to me they can totally make highly detailed and immersive lands without having to be pigeonholed into a single IP. They should really head more in that direction rather than the single-IP lands.

That's...literally how capitalism works, my guy. If companies undersell, they don't make profit, they don't stay in business, and you don't get anything. If you have the money, it's a non-issue.
>I can afford it
No you can't. If you could, you wouldn't be kvetching about a fundamental principle of our global economic system.

You’re overpaying for lowest cost ingredients just so you can take a picture waiting in line with the plebs at some Disney restaurant and you’re proud of it. You’re fucking dumb. End of story. Move on

Epcot ranges from elite to shit. It’s bizarre. That sandwich I got in the French area was trash (I wonder how the French workers feel about it lel) but the Chinese dumplings were amazing.

Now you're sperging out, going full RFK Jr (when it's easy and obvious to eat healthy), and accusing others (confessing to) of taking things off-topic.

It's not healthy to be this mad about being poor and crying about DisneyAdultfags who have more money than you. Just calm down and/or shut the fuck up.

What's your favorite non-coaster?

It was Jurassic Park before they let it go and all the animatronics stopped working. The compies fighting over the employees shirt was my fav part, but they stoped working a long time ago

>>2871847
Yeah, I'm not so optimistic about the refurb this year. Rather than just fix and update, I'm assuming they're changing it to Jurassic World like in Hollywood.

World is fine overall as a singular ride, but I prefer the overall character of Park better. I have mixed feelings on how wet the ride can get too. Could be my imagination, but I feel like it got wetter after they installed those paid dryer machines outside the exit.

>>2871850
Too many screens. Practical always > CGI but it costs more and goyslop lovers don’t really care so they don’t have to invest in it anymore

>>2871846
Also I’m prob in the minority here but I really enjoyed Triceratops encounter. That was REALLY well done IMO
>t. Still remember getting snotted on when the triceratops sneezed and having to remind myself it’s not an actual real life dinosaur

Above all though? Now that I’ve had time to think about it. Rhino Rally. That was the ultimate combination of awesome real life actors, live animals, and thrill ride, all in one. Nothing seen anything like it, before or since

The BBC actually wrote an article about how theme park holidays in England (especially the southeast) could become a thing when Universal opens

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cj32dml440no

Paulton's Park is possibly optimistic as if you're staying at the Universal UK hotel then Alton Towers if probably only a few minutes further to drive and Chessington goes after the same market but if for some reason you decided you wanted to stay in Reading, that's 5 parks within a not huge drive

On a related note, not long before their Eurofighter opens which is targeted as a lighter white knuckle (only non-family coaster in the park): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2pxhRfc8Dy8

>that's 5 parks within a not huge drive
Are there public transport? Like, could i do a 1 month, 5 parks without taking a car?

>>2871907
There is, but then you risk getting raped by Ngibu and Achmed

There is currently rumor going around that Spaceship Earth had a pipe burst yesterday and it fucked with some of the scenes or even the whole ride system
That is not confirmed but what is known is did not open yesterday, looks like it is not opening today and the nightly light feature on the sphere was not on yesterday

>>2871920
Did Disney's diversity efforts hit the maintenance team? Why is all their shit breaking and putting people in the hospital?

>>2871907
I think pretty much all of them are Train plus a bus

>>2871922
In this case they were planning the full upkeep refurbishment/ride system replacement in 2020 then Chapek/Iger used covid as an excuse to not fund it and it was scrapped
They knew it was going to be an issue half a decade ago but decided to let it ride out until it broke to do something

>>2871922
>>2871927
Believe it or not sometimes shit happens

>>2871893
Wait, they're building a Puy du Fou in the UK? Wasn't expecting them to build different parks, neat

>>2871927
The original plan was "Moana presents Spaceship Earth" basically

>>2871929
Yep, keeping the same sort of shows but steering it towards British history

>>2871893
The main issue with the UK expansion of parks if frankly the weather sucks ass for a resort area, and one that current does not support any year round operations
Will Universal UK just shut down for a few months like the other parks do?

>>2871893
southern shandy drinkin bastards

>>2871893
No Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Disregarded

>>2871931
More like "Only historical moments we can attach a Disney movie to will be kept". Like the Moana Polynesian voyagers scene was supposed to replace the Phoenecians.
With how that new version was supposed to be about human storytelling, it totally would have culminated in jerking off Walt.

>>2871932
Paris arguably has worse weather. The issue with UK weather is that it's mediocre, grey and drizzly for 3-4 months. More and more parks are lengthening the season though with Halloween, guy Fawkes and Christmas events. Most half open in Feb too, Merlin getting rid of their water rides could be part of a strategy to make the parks more winter friendly (Alton Towers was supposed to get a big indoor coaster that doesn't look like it's happening)

>>2871934
It's almost a 5 hour drive....

If the Disney UAE project still happens I think it could be a huge proof of concept for the future of indoor fully immersive parks that can make climate obsolete for a year round theme park
If they can reasonably do it then suddenly a smaller scale 3rd US Disney park in the northeast or midwest does not sound far fetched. The main issue of cold weather and snow reducing the operating schedule that prevented prior attempts would be resolved

Considering ho retarded BGT is I don’t know how they pulled it off.

>>2871850
If they were changing the ride they'd have announced its closing like they did in Hollywood.
I did notice the wetness too. Not as bad as the Toon Lagoon rides but it can get your top half pretty wet on the final drop. Hollywood's version usually only gives a light spray.

>>2871960
This was back in the Anheuser Busch days when the park was ran by the people who built it so they gave more care to the park

>>2871949
I think the chances of an Arab country getting a Disney now are essentially zero. Disney would be bombed first, and Disney knows it. The negative PR, safety reputation is a no deal. The juice wouldn’t be worth the squeeze

>>2871982
That's reassuring, so I hope you're right.
I was concerned with Velicoaster being JW that they would eventually and gradually change all the theming away from JP.
