  1. Yeah look, that would be a fair interpretation, if it wasn't for the fact that that also isn't a 'never been done before' thing either. Land of Oz (theme park) - Wikipedia I've been saying this since the Flash BTS content started to release. I think their media team have really lifted their game to new heights (or gotten fresh blood?) and i'm super keen to see Village continue to push out their great insights into new constructions and other activities going on behind the scenes. But that doesn't mean i'm not going to call out bullshit from the C-suite.
  2. The thread was specifically started based off of the "main arena" (that being the one at the end of main street, which the context of the online discussion had clearly outlined, which is why the options were limited to only the occupants of that arena), but by all means, feel free to create your own thread on the Show stage and it's former incarnations (i'd be voting for Maverick, but thats just me)
  3. except New Atlantis, or Wild West Falls... Precisely. I think that we're so used to calling out false or 'stretched truth' statements in their media releases now its just second nature. Also, they still haven't explained what a "multi-type" coaster is either.
  4. Except, you know, the giant Arkham\Lethal building that they're reusing for the emerald city...
  5. Yesterday I made a joke to someone that this was where the rotting shack from next to first aid ended up, but yours is better. the nostalgic heartstrings are torn from memories of racing to paint the whole picture, in the short refresh time you had, with such bad touchscreen accuracy that would never wash today but we all just accepted as the coolest tech ever back in the day. YOU CAN PAINT ON A SCREEN WITH YOUR FINGER!
  6. Yeah we read a number of different sources and some assured us it'd never happen again, and others cautioned that 'as long as its an active option in the App, they can switch it on in surge periods'. We thought it was odd because the full day we had in park felt busier.
  7. clearly it solves the issues of having two riders in a seat of various sizes and ensuring both are appropriately restrained.
  8. Like Nintendo, cast were stationed at the entrance pathway behind the stones with an umbrella and handheld barcode scanners. You read daily trip reports? wow.
  9. Honestly with the winds we've been having recently, i'm not surprised it's been down. Maybe they decided to keep KFF and Claw open due to that?
  10. Just a slight amendment to this - As at June, timed entry to HP was an active option in the app, however it was not in use every day. We visited on a 1.5 day ticket, and entry was restricted on our first (half) day in the afternoon, but not the following (full) day when we had our express pass. The terms and conditions on the USJ website do specify that the timed entry requirements depend on crowd conditions, so if the area is important to you, the Express will guarantee you entry. *Important to note that USJ releases express passes in date blocks, so keep an eye on the website to ensure you buy them as soon as they become available. With DK opening later in the year, they may go quickly.
  11. Universal Singapore has recovered fully from the covid shutdowns and is in full swing. Minions land is rumoured to open by Christmas - however many spaces outside of the park in the Resorts World area of Sentosa are under redevelopment so you may need to go farther afield from the park to complete your day (there's plenty of other sentosa attractions to occupy the day though!) After visiting earlier this year, I could honestly skip the Tokyo Disney parks on a repeat visit - Unless the additions since your last visit warrant a return. The crowds and the cost are simply too high right now. Universal Hollywood - if you've never done it before, I highly recommend doing the USH VIP Tour. While it is a bit pricier (and you should book further in advance to secure your spot) the inclusions do make it great value for money, and the experience is incomparable to visiting with a normal day-ticket. Knott's. Love this park. could spend multiple days just soaking the atmosphere. Enjoy it! Fuji Q and Nagashima - we missed these on our most recent trip to Japan. Travel times were prohibitive, so if you do plan to go, would recommend staying nearby and arriving the day before your planned visit. End of year will be winter, and from what I recall, the potential for bad weather may see the park close attractions unexpectedly, so bear this in mind. Universal Osaka - staying on property was great here - and Port Universal was a great little hotel a short stroll from the front gate. Express 8 pass sorely needed during busier periods. USJ has some of the most restrictive ride restraints i've encountered, so if you're tall, have broad shoulders, carry a little extra weight around the midsection or are otherwise outside the average japanese build (long legs for example) you may not fit on certain attractions. Test seats are everywhere and cast members will ask you to try at the entrance if they think you may not fit. The park has advertised opening times, but frequently opens much earlier - sometimes more than an hour before. It depends on crowds. If you want to ensure you can enter nintendo land and\or harry potter, you either need to arrive insanely early to ensure you get in early enough to get a free timed entry spot, or alternatively there are upcharges like the express 8 which include guaranteed entry times. Can't give any advice for China parks as I haven't been yet - but can advise you to drink and brush teeth with bottled water only Six Flags Magic Mountain - The current park operating calendar states that the park is closed from December 30th and doesn't show a reopening date, (though I would presume this just hasn't been loaded yet). I'd recommend going on a weekday as weekends are insanely busy with locals and passholders (check the calendar to make sure its open the day you want to go). The Platinum Flash pass has been necessary for us on our last two visits, and makes for a far more pleasant day. Going in winter you are far more likely to encounter ride closures, so do your research on what will be available ahead of time to see if it is worth going...
  12. It isn't chit chat. Whether you like it or not it was directly related to the attraction this thread was started for. As others have said you can feel free to scroll on by, but in the interim, your whinging is creating another page of crap - so try being the solution?
  13. Oh geez, quoting this one for posterity.
  14. Ok dude, we get it. Nothing anybody says is going to change your view. Put down the drum.
