Ah so that explains why I saw a few people going in and out of the ride yesterday when we went

They can redeem themselves if they have the Joker doing something like this

So watching Ogre's latest video, why did they think it's a good idea to have the characters perform in front of the ride entrance? Because people can't get on the rides and if people wanna leave the castle they have to wait for the performance to end

I just find it constantly baffling that they insist on having ride queues outside. Like have the execs ever experienced the Queensland heat, especially in summer? Like why not have the queues fully indoors or better yet have an indoor ride? Even the area itself barely has any shading for people to get out of the sun unless they wanna go in the building

At least it isn't just rollercoasters with a few comic panels outside of them

How long would a soft opening last for?

Yeah but it's not just Wicked itself, Wizard of Oz as a brand is just timeless. Harry Potter is popular but that's pretty much all you'll get with the Wizarding World brand since JK hasn't really done well critically outside of the initial series

Off topic a bit but I'm surprised Universal didn't try to capitalise off of Wizard of Oz or Wicked at their new Epic Universe. Would've much preferred that than a mish mash of Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts

What a nice little hype up

A stupid one

A shame they don't have it operating until they knew what to do with the area. Like that would've been nice to help alleviate some of the stress on the other ride lines

"Food selection leaves alot to be desired, there is a choice between Mexican and a typical theme park burger" That's not very nice, we also have fish and chips

Man this makes me realise how good the Superman Escapes ride is in comparison to later rollercoasters. Like an actual theme taking place in a train station area and then an earthquake happens with pretty good effects for a rollercoaster. Arkham Asylum was still cool with its theming, anything based around those games is gonna be good, but I just wished they did more with that area. Then we got stuff like Green Lantern, DC Hypercoaster and now the Flash ride that just has bare minimum theming with just comic panels explaining the story

The real world used to have cool stuff like a good stunt show, good main street shows and back lot tours

Ah so of course the problem comes from the company not wanting to put out a quality experience just to have more money Everyone seems to be doing that these days
