In my opinion, I don't think it will be all that bad.From the Universal Blog, it sounds like a ramped up version of Soarin. And that just happens to be Disney's most popular ride at Epcot. It's not going to be a great E ticket like Kong. But, if the writing is good, it could be a decent D ticket for a space that's too small for Universal's usual super great attractions. I'll wait to see how it turns out before I condemn it. If they get it right, it could be amusing & entertaining like Despicable Me. I think the script will be really important for this attraction. It will sink or swim on that.This is seriously terrible. I hate to be so negative on something that has just been announced but there is seriously a 10% chance this is gonna be good. Like it just sounds like a bad MGM studios ride like "sounds dangerous with drew Carey". Just a famous name, plastered over a lame idea with the same tech we've seen multiple times throughout the same park. I have to give universal credit for replacing old and lame rides like twister and disaster but these replacements are both very questionable in their own different ways. 2017 is gonna be a really REALLY odd year for universal, whatever though I'll probably still be on that kong high so whatever happens happens. Also please for the love of god make that not be the facade

Minion Mayhem ride system is also outdated as crap but still a hugely popular ride. I understand the hate if you don't like Fallon but other than that, there really is none.
I'm not a big proponent of this ride, but you do have to take into account the limited space they have to work with in the Twister building/area. At least we'll be getting a much better facade out of this.You're right, having two 90s era simulator rides RIGHT next to each other is a great idea!
