    If people end up complaining about how its not a thrilling enough ride then hopefully someone in their party will remind them that not everyone loves thrill rides! I feel like universal really lacks in kid friendly/rides for those who don't like thrills, I personally love thrill rides but my sister doesn't enjoy them and most of our time at the park involves us separated due to the rides. Hopefully this opens up a new world for those who aren't interested in thrill rides! As always an awesome video Tim and Jenn! Love seeing the parks from your point of view!

    • @mr.froglegs
      @mr.froglegs Před rokem

      Most complaints I've seen aren't about how thrilling it is, but how poor the game is. Like how the screens can't handle all of the riders and stuff. Probably be a better ride if they fixed the technical issues, which is what they are working on rn

    I think it's great! This style ride seems perfect from a logistical sense for Universal; It's right at the front, it has a quick wait time, and it's a big video game! It's perfect :D Can't wait to ride it.

And this looks like a fantastic ride my kids, any kid or kid at heart will love !

  • @wanupgirl

    I still think they should have made the bank of evil a currency exchange and atms. also to bad they didn't make that window behind you the same way they did in the toad cafe with the screen so you could see them moving around. that would be cool if they had animated something.

    As a theme park enthusiast, this sounds like a really cool attraction and sounds like a lot of fun! Although USH is very limited with space, I feel like this attraction could be cloned and squeezed in somewhere near our Minion's land and it would really benefit from expanding our park.

  • @Blitzjewel
    @Blitzjewel Před rokem +1

    That white tent behind MIB is more then likely a team member tent, either for the scareactors or acting as a ‘break space’ for TMs working the event. Because that area of the park has fewer ‘permanent’ spots for TMs to use they’ll set up air conditioned tents. We had one last year for the Monsters, Bugs, and Descendants crews.

    Few issues I have with the ride from footage I've seen:
    1. The interactive screens can lag when a lot of effects are happening(hopefully this gets fixed when it officially opens)
    2. You are quite cramped to the person next to you so if you're a single rider there is a lack of personal space on this ride
    3. This ride is essentially a budget buzz lighter, but not only do you have to stand in the queue but then also on the ride, which makes no sense. It would be much better if it was seated on the moving walkway with a bit more space between the spots and then a few gaps for wheelchairs

Mostly it hurt my arm to hold the “gun” and I didn’t even really know what I was shooting at or why some things worked and others didn’t because it was hard to understand what the rules were but it was super cool to just walk right on with no wait

We also only have express after 4 and didn’t want to waste time there either but it was funny how that happened almost simultaneously😂
