Comment below to let us know what you think.
I'm going to guess that the queue themeing is going to be the last touch of the ride, which is par for the course.Also, not happy that the first part of the queue will apparently be the same old left over T2 queue area. I hope it's at least partially themed. Just seems weird that you enter through the house and then boom, back to plain metal...
They could've added clouds or a hill back drop above the trees or something else cartoony. Even disproportionate trees would be better in my book than a visible show building. You know? It's like...you go to all that effort to make such a beautiful detailed facade and you stop short...Universal is good with working with scale illusions.
Ahh, yes yes. Both are more than good enough. I was referring up till Transformers (its facade, etc). I'm just picky lol. Would've liked to see the building fully covered.I'd argue that Universal Plaza and Despicable Me are far beyond just "good enough," but that's just me...
I can imagine this is another attempt to please the neighbors as the lights on T2 was a huge topic for light pollution in 1999.To make matters worse, that building will not be lit up like Terminator's was, making for a bizarre dark spot on top of the Frankenstein parking garage come nightfall.
Also, there's no logical reason for it to be lit up at night NOW, since when it was T2's building, the building itself was a design "icon" of sorts and very prominent. For Minion Mayhem, they've went to greater lengths to cover it and just make it "the sky" or whatever. So lighting it up at night in its new form wouldn't make much sense anymore.I can imagine this is another attempt to please the neighbors as the lights on T2 was a huge topic for light pollution in 1999.
