Secret Life of Pets: Off the Leash (Construction Thread)

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

The SLOP characters just lead themselves perfectly for a theme park attraction. Easily distinguishable, funny, unique in some ways, cute, like there's no reason this shouldn't work haha. I understand as a film product they may not be the greatest thing of all time, but in terms of a potential 5 minute theme park ride? They're perfect. Can't wait for first reactions this weekend.

Omnimovers have the capacity of rotating. The Little Mermaid does it, Haunted Mansion as well. I am excited to see what Universal has done.

The roation is literally why they are called "Omnimovers"... they're omni-directional.

Just checked the booking status for the AP previews coming up and all the time slots for the first day (3/14/20) have been booked up!

 

[WaterToWade]

Are people allowed to record at ap previews?

 

[chris.g]

Yeah unless explicitly stated otherwise. They sometimes even encourage it

Universal Studios in Hollywood and Orlando to Close Over Coronavirus Fears

Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort announced Thursday both resorts would be shut in hopes of containing the spread of coronavirus.

I really wonder how they're gonna honor those who reserved a preview day. This sucks.

The ride will be there when this clears up, whenever that is. The reason the parks are closing is for the safety and well-being of the tens of thousands that visit these germ-infested parks every single day.

There are priorities in life and while I get wanting to go on the ride, staying healthy and distancing ourselves socially right now is in everyone's best interest.

FWIW - The Press event was also postponed.

I know. I'm not trying to discredit that priority. As much as I understand I can't help but feel a bit bummed out.

Granted they didn't have any special events planned, it's just that Disneyland did mention right off the bat that they'll be willing to work with people who had plans during the closure and stuff. There's probably people out there who bought tickets for a visit to USH for next week. Who knows, maybe we'll hear a statement from them soon enough.

From Attraction Faction--we may still have a preview event for Pets still..

 

[Ron101]

Hopefully they keep the previews going! Ride the ride and then go home since everything else will be closed.

 

[Brian G.]

I do not believe that to be accurate...

 

[Rideguy70]

I can't imagine them doing that. Doesn't really make any business sense, and think about the confusion it'd create with the general public who have heard the park is closed from the news, yet people are still going?

And I'd gamble even if they did, a lot of people wouldn't show up. Or they would, and be shocked/angery to hear the rest of the park isn't open--"I came all they way out here for one 3 minute ride?!?". Either way, not the smartest move.

Although I will also confess if they did, I would likely go, lol. But I feel I'm the exception more than the rule.

In case you wanted a hard confirm:

I imagine after a few weeks people are going to get anxious for stuff to open. There's little to no major entertainment options available right now in SoCal.

 

[chris.g]

It appears despite closure, Team Members will be riding today

EDIT: One team member gave the ride a 10/10

 

[BriefCasey]

This the same one?

 

[WaterToWade]

I saw another one with the same review!
