Avengers: Infinity Defense (DCA)

I don’t think that’s the narrative at all from what I’ve seen.

A few saying it contains screens isn’t indicative of the entire social media.

I opened my TikTok just now and my (largely positive!) feed’s third video was “New Harry Potter Ride 6/10 too many screens”.

In all fairness the ride does not translate well to video at all, and I think most of the ride’s strongest fans agree. I’m just challenging the opinion that social media is 100% positive on Ministry.

I mean even on here everyone wasn’t completely positive on it.

Attractions like these are definitely are hard to translate on video I agree with you on that.

Definitely — and there’s no way to know the majority opinion.

But to this thread’s recent thesis: I’m not sure how significant the social media comparisons are. I really doubt the majority of Infinity Defense’s riders are going to be thinking of Monsters Unchained.

the majority won’t even know monsters unchained exists

The vast majority of social media was strongly anti Gringotts when it opened, even after the mechanical/technical breakdowns were solved. . Constant complaints that it wasn't the full scale coaster that coaster fans expected. Now it's a very popular attraction with USF's longest lines, even though it's high capacity. Heck, a majority of the negative ride comments are from people who rarely, or never, make it to a theme park. They're thirty year old POV cowboys, sleeping on their parent's basement couch.

eh, gringotts is a pretty flawed attraction with an incredible queue and in the best themed land in the world. i think it’s unfair to dismiss these criticisms out of hand … unless they haven’t been on the ride, of course.

My critique of Gringotts definitely isn't that it's not enough of a coaster.

It's that it's too much another Transformers (itself already a redundant attraction at Universal Orlando). And I don't think it does anything notably better* than the antecedent attractions from which it is basically derived (Spidey/Transformers and Revenge of the Mummy). Except the queue.

*As an overall experience, I'd rather have it than Transformers, of course.
