This post is purely non-legal and Universal Orlando
is becoming a dissapointment. Ever since General Electric relinquished
control over Universal over to NBC, their product has been
dissapointing. The first Harry Potter was a massive success and made
sense at the time as the Harry Potter craze was still in full swing, but
Gringots??? Gringots was a brutally expensive ride opened when the
decline in the Harry Potter fandom had already begun. What about
Tranformers? Well, that ride is mediocre at best let's face it. It is
literally the Spider-Man ride system with less set-design and more
screens. Hallloween Horror Nights? Seemingly less innovative each
year, and purely capitalizing on the success of intellectual properties
such as The Walking Dead. Three years in a row Universal, really?
The
long-rumored attraction King Kong is coming to Universal in an official
announcement today. The excitement for this news was just huge! Well
actually, no it wasnt, no one cares because King Kong is a loser
property that has very few followers. Shocking that Universal didn't
have the foresight to realize that they already have a Jurassic Park
attraction that needs attention and is showing its age, and with a new
movie coming out that may make a billion dollars, that a Jurassic World
ride would make sense as well as upgrading the Jurassic Park River
Adventure. Instead, they have settled on King Kong. Maybe Universal
wants out of the theme park business, maybe sabotage is their intention,
because they just cannot be this stupid.
The
decline in the quality of Universal's rides can be traced back all the
way to when Back to the Future was replaced. Don't get me wrong, back
to the future was an aging ride that showed its fair share of wear, but
did it really need to be replaced? Much less, replaced by the
Simpsons? A show that had been dying a slow death for more than a
decade? Or was it when Jaws, a fan favorite, was removed to clear space
for other lackluster projects. I am not sure, but one thing is clear,
Universal will continue playing second fiddle to Disney, maybe next the
Spider-Man ride will be replaced in favor of a Teletubbies attraction.
