Family friendly has its place but it would be nice to have something that is aimed at adults and well themed and as you said terrifying.
I don't know the books but I read they are quite popular and it starts with a 15 year old kid and an old guy being thrown of a city. Reviews make it clear it has hart so under the awesome steampunk visuals there could be a human story in there. I hope it's a good movie cause I love steampunk and would love to see it in the parks.
From Peter Jackson Concept art for Universal's next franchise series....this could be amazing for the park.

Good explanation why you think it fales...Valerian is going to tank regardless of how good it is or isn't. Probably gonna one of the biggest "losers" of the summer.
If it happens, which I doubt, Universal needs to get a lot more creative with their queueless spaces. I don't want to have a bunch of Fallon clones, where I walk through a museum and then do a meet + greet. The queueless idea opens up a bunch of intimate experiences that normal queues can't touch.What are the thoughts on this park going queue-less similar to Fallon, F&F and Volcano Bay?
Obviously for Volcano Bay, the concept kind of works since you can waste your time in the wave pool or lazy river but in a theme park not so much.
I'm not sold on virtual line queue less for an entire theme park at all. I think it would ruin the experience of spontaneity in a theme park. Two or three rides maybe, but anything more sounds like it would take the fun out of a park.What are the thoughts on this park going queue-less similar to Fallon, F&F and Volcano Bay?

I hope Valerian will be an awesome movie. It's source material (French comics from 1938) is amazing. George Lucas and it's team "borrowed" a ton from these comics.
If Universal is smart they already picked up the theme park rights so they can compete with Star Wars land.

great insight! you should post more often :clap:I rarely post on here, but I've posted on box office forums and have been looking at daily box office and tracking everyday for 10 years. Plus I work in industry.
First off it has a bad release date. Same date as Chris Nolan Dunkirk. So it won't have IMAX or premium screens. The week before is Planet of the Apes, the week before is Spider-man. The week after is Atomic Blonde.
Keep in mind STX a new company (not a big 6 or a mini major) has not disturbed a movie that cost over 30 ish million . They have NEVER marketed blockbuster movie.
It has no big stars. No property, Good actors maybe but nobody to bring attention to it or get the GA's eyes.
The marketing hasn't had a hook. The average movie goer sees 4 movies a year. Why should we see this over all the above, keep in mind we already had Guardians this summer which is similar in color but has Pratt, a sequel, light hearted comedy tone. Guardians , Alien, transformers all took place in space this summer already.
Its not tracking well, it has terrible awareness
its twitter interactions are the lowest of the big summer movies.
its cost 190 million dollars
I hope the movies good, but Id bet my life this movie does beyond poor in north america, its a good bet.
The film community thinks its going to be DOA in terms of domestic box office. You never KNOW it could break out, but that would pretty much require Dunkirk and Apes to fail and be bad.

Gotta love Express. The first time we rode Fallon, we had to do the virtual line since we were at Sapphire for the first few days. I said no more of that planning in the park b.s., I hate WDW for FP+ planning too, so we didn't go back on it until we moved to Portofino. Then we did it a bunch of times with Express.....I'm a spontaneous enjoying vacation person.I'm betting on regular queues and Express Pass for onsite guests.
I haven't read much of this thread so I don't know if something like this has already been mentioned, but how about a park about animals (including imaginary ones), plants (including imaginary ones), 'nature'/'wilderness', care for the environment, and maybe ecosystems/biomes (including imaginary ones). This would probably seem similar to Animal Kingdom in some ways. Some interesting things that could be featured there are attractions having to do with the Fantastic Beasts series, Zelda games (possibly Breath of the Wild specifically), Pokemon, Donkey Kong, Jurassic Park, and maybe even Skull Island and Godzilla.
