The Future of Lost Continent

[JungleSkip]

And to think Comcast wanted to buy Disney... imagine what they would have done with WDW. Their loss is our gain.

A VERY different Comcast wanted to buy Disney. They basically just wanted ESPN at that time. I don't think they would have treated the WDW parks how they're treating the Uni ones.

@hatetofly and I had this convo the other day.

And we came to the same point, amongst some others.

Lost Continent is nowhere near Jurassic Park...

I'm really hopeful for this new version of Sindbad. IOA really needs a great show.

Since I first visited IOA, LC has been my favorite land. I have extra love for it since it's the biggest showcase of Universal's talent that's not based on IP. I'm afraid its removal is imminent, but hey, one can hope.

Something people forget is that Universal Parks was malnutrished when Comcast came in. There was lots of areas to improve and grow the business, and they made the calls to invest more and bump up quality.

WDW is a more developed resort. If the Comcast of 2015 bought the WDW of 2004 I don't think they'd treat it the same as they're treating UOR now.

pfffft who needs logic in this, also pile people into those spheres from the movie to get there

 

[Teebin]

First new Sindbad show is 12:30pm on 6/13. Who else is going to be there?

I look forward to your review, even though you are always too kind.

Or, Pterodactyl flyers (ski lift size) for adults over the lagoon linking the two areas.

As long as there is nothing in the water

Here's where it gets crazy. Jaws Great White leaping into the air trying to snatch the lift. Now I'm getting real ridiculous. :clap:

(on Sinbad) Someone said no script changes. Hoping they changed course and eliminated some of the corn. Eagerly awaiting Seth's review, but I'm consigned to being disappointed with no rewrite.

Not always, have you read my writeup on the Disneyland 60th shows?

welllll they could. lol Doesn't that pathway they recently made (that cuts you around WWoHP) dump you right into the lost continent? I know this probably isn't likely but I'm just having some fun.

I think it's very possible that we wouldn't have seen any increase of investment at the Disney parks if Comcast had purchased them. It sounds like the explosion of growth at Universal is attributed purely to the success of the Wizarding World right at the same time of the Comcast purchase. You never know, though, Comcast could have seen the success of the DCA revamp and then applied the same aggressive investment across all of Disney's parks.

Comcast wants to be seen as a true entertainment conglomerate, and they are willing to go to great lengths to get this image.

So Sinbad was open today... anything new other than this?

Well where is the update?

Well where is the update?

Stage has been repainted and redressed, there are slight differences in dialogue, some new choreography, and the ending is a bit shortened and more awkward now.
