Coasters, Dark rides, Flat rides, Simulators, Boat rides, and Shows Universal Creative have mastered them all. But there is one type of ride system they haven’t and barely touched. A drop tower, could it be next or the left in the dark to continue innovation of what they know?!

New Video: Explore why Aerosmith was removed from Rock n Rollercoaster despite being so popular that it even got a clone. As well as what the ride did right and how the replacements make sense despite fan backlash youtu.be/8tLbhL-0T8Q

While I do miss twister I greatly appreciate the improved facade the replacement brought to the park and I would love it see the remaining fragments of this older cheaper look at Universal Orlando updated to match the parks modern standards seen in a lot of the newer offerings

Epic Universe doesn't need the extra dinning. But what it does is more capacity, especially indoor ones. Making this building originally intended for a restaurant a dark ride would be a great pivot and quick fix to the already spent capital. Base Image by @bioreconstruct.bsky.social

In the decade leading up to Epic Universe Universal drastically improved every aspect of the resort. Now that Epic Universe is open Universal didn’t let their foot off the gas but speed it up. They aren’t playing to be second place but on a path to dethrone Disney

It is possible to bring Fan Fest to Universal Orlando without using the spaces for houses used during HHN

The lost continent is closing but its story doesn’t end there. Explore the history, areas of success, failure, and potential future changes of this land in the debut of a new video series Park Autopsy! youtu.be/2VmciHi6FyM

Should Universal Orlando remove part of the lagoon at IOA near Hogsmeade and expanded the Wizarding world with an elaborate wand and character area while also building a themed wall to separate Hogsmeade from Velocicoaster

If Islands of Adventure was built today what properties do you think it would include

I am surprised Disney World hasn't built another park on the massive Magic Kingdom Parking lot yet

While the changes to Buzz Lightyear weren't much, one major win Disney did implement was updating the user interface to be with todays gaming standards

It will be intresting to see what the new legacy store facade and interior will look like and if it will incorporate previous enhancements like the LED screens

With universal expediting new additions to Epic Universe to meet the demand I wonder when a parade will be greenlit it is in the long term plans and would be a fast way to improve the park lineup while longer term solutions like new rides get built

I saw some puppets 🥰 Full look on Instagram

2 different eras of Disney Parks😭

I hope disney has their new small mobile animatronics behind lock and key backstage. Because with someone managing to steal buzzy it is a lot easier to just pick up olaf and put him on a truck

New Video Podcast: Explore ripple effects of Epic Universe and how it’s affecting other parks plus why Universal Japan is removing the popular Seasme Street area and the impacts of Sesame Workshop likely leaving United Parks and Entertainment youtu.be/HK1EfgaQtAw

If United Parks and Entertainment are forced to rethemed the sesame theme parks. A better move may be to sell them to another operator like universal who could be allowed to use the sesame characters and bring in their own as well and make it a universal kids park

Disney has developed massive improvements to projected animatronic faces yet chose to leave the version from 1998 untouched during a massive refurbishment 😭

What if Disney made the country bear jamboree a dinner show. The regular show could still play during the day but during the evenings guest could enjoy an exclusive version of the show while enjoying a meal. The infrastructure is there just the seating would need to be modified

Was thinking of the best use of this land and I would love if Cat In The Hat connected to Port Of Entry as a How to Train your dragon book report dark ride with hiccup sharing the story to others. To keep the Suess landing draw a Mount Crumpit coaster would be built as well

With Rock in Roller coaster losing the Aerosmith theme their is one licensed ride left at Disney World. While the tower of terror has its fans I believe the majority of guests just like it as a highly themed drop tower. Making me wonder if tower of terror is next.

There is enough room in Celestial Park To build a substantia dark ride like one themed to Captain Cacao. the only catch is the restrooms would need to be relocated or built around. For reference secret life of pets is 20,645 sqr feet

New Video: exploring Revenge of the mummy a fantastic roller coaster dark ride hybrid and what strategies and techniques universal used to make it a great ride that has existed for over 2 decades and received multiple locations youtu.be/JqACC2C84_Q

While Universal Hollywood isn't able to get a 2nd theme park with the land of the golf course next door. What if they bought and built it on the park and section of houses next door to its current resort? It would be pricy but provides universal and the city more value in the end

Animal Kingdom could be one of the best theme parks in the world if Disney continued to Invest in major additions to it. Instead, it just got one a decade. Hopefully this time it will be different

After Universal Themeparks Exhibition ends it run at the Franklin Institute I could see it touring to other big cities before being given a permeant home at Universal Orlando as the preview centers replacement

Surprised Disney has not built a permeant stage show in the Discovery River. They could build one on the level of fantasmic and already have the seating built for it.

NEW VIDEO: Over the years Universal has shifted from lands based around a general theme into investing it all on one IP. Here is why universal made the switch and strategy behind every IP land at the Orlando resort in this special hour long episode! youtu.be/DDa8YiJ7MZ0

Supercharge is finally closing for good! But while the screen based aspect of the ride gets a lot of hate. Its underlying problem was how it was presented leading to hate while Skull Island received praise. It will be interesting to see if universal will try this system again or opt for a new medium

Universal has officially debuted a form of an open hub! While not for Epic Universe this could be a great way to test the waters and eventually debut it there as well down the road

Jurrasic Park River Adventure is now closed for a 318 day 19.2 million dollar refurbishment. Here is why youtu.be/9M1TLY3ljeA

Universal Kids is designed for a smaller demographic but its implications on the brand look to also be used as a testing ground. One such example of this is the Senior Specialist of Internal Communications at the resort Brian Bender saying he is "building a communications program from the ground up"

Surprised Universal hasn't built a permeant or seasonal Blumhouse attraction given Comcasts stake in the company and continued success as houses. I would love to explore some of the behind the scenes magic that takes to make and then transport guest into the worlds

Falcons Flight is an impressive feat of engineering but I have to wonder if it was worth it? At a certain point the difference in speed and coaster elements becomes marginal in terms of enjoyment. As a result I wish they made the coaster extremely themed instead of just novel

Rest in Peace Adam the Woo. I was never able to meet him in person but his personality and love for the vlogging craft shined through the screen. R.I.P.

Could Horror Unleashed come to Atlanta, NYC, and Philly? The locations plus Chicago were picked for the Epic Universe portal tour after careful research. Such analytics would have a similar application for a Horror Unleashed venue with Chicago already being confirmed for one

What are your thoughts, comments, or concerns on artificial intelligence in general and or how it relates to the themed entertainment industry? I will answer them as someone I would consider to be a professional on the matter and loves the entertainment industry

If Horror Unleashed and the Netflix House are both still performing well in 5 years I could see Universal building a Horror Unleashed variant for Fan Fest

Introducing Park Mind Podcast! A reduced image format video series breaking down some of the newest and innovative news in the themed entertainment space. Episode 1 is now available and focuses on Netflix's entry into a physical themed entertainment venue: youtu.be/-89R9d5eMdA

Over the last decade Hollywood Studios saw a massive changes to its park and Disney isn't done. I wonder what will remain in the next decade and how sacred they view the remaining portion of it

The Minion Land designed for Universal Kids fits perfectly behind the popular Minion land at Universal Studios Japan. Just a coincidence or signs of the future expansion 🧐

With Studios having the Macys Holiday Parade and Islands having Grinchmas; Epic Feels left behind with just some decorations. Given the holidays success at the existing parks I wouldn’t be surprised if Epic receives their own seasonal event. Right now though they don’t need it

Would you rather Disney spend the money to build a new ride or an army of life size roaming characters

In a world without Epic Universe Studios could have been a drastically better park. While these offerings were lost to Epic. In the end though this will be the best move. As it leaves Studios lots of room to still grow while increasing the resort size to compete with Disney World

One of Dinolands problems was its placement back in the park. This time around though imagineering looks to try and fix this by making the land peak into the entrance via the large temple. Making guests aware of it when entering the park and wanting to go and find it

Park Mind is now also on Spotify! open.spotify.com/user/u09b7ya...

Still pissed about this
