>What is this thread? Why are there two companies?
Disney parks were initially founded as a way to celebrate the culture and history of America and provide middle class families with a fun-filled immersive experience. While theme parks are the main focus of these threads (and the title of the general) there is also discussion on other roller coasters & rides, as well as the parks themselves and trip planning too. That's where /rcg/ comes in.
>Can I talk about Disney/Universal parks in this thread?
Absolutely! Disney and Universal are currently competing for the Orlando theme park market and beyond! Universal is opening new resorts all around the US and new continents!

Reposting>Back when Intimidator 305 opened, a couple of enthusiasts started telling people they "greyed out" during parts of the ride. Then more people started saying "Uh yeah... I totally greyed out too!" and it became something to boast about. Now you have thoosies saying they're greying out on much milder rides, as if it's something to brag about or even real.>The same thing happened with "the B&M rattle." It caught like wildfire. Some soft fuck thoosies started claiming new B&Ms vibrated more than the old ones and the fable grew from there. So now they're all claiming that new B&Ms aren't good because they're headbangers. It's just midwits clamoring for attention.

They fixed the Hadrosaur on river adventure and now he emerges much taller from the water. The baby stego is also back and has a repainted body and brand new servos allowing his head to move a lot cleaner. Not as sure we're getting a total overhaul when they close it for 10 months now.

Super nintendo world was almost perfectly copypasted from tokyo to ebin universe and it's fucking stupid because the land was designed for a completely different park. Yoshi is short and low capacity because they don't have enough space in tokyo, but even worse is no covering for a ride that goes outside in a state where for most of the year it's either blisteringly hot or raining. This is compounded by the park already having too many rides that go down during bad weather, how the fuck did nobody notice this?
The DK coaster being too low capacity is also a big oversight. Probably wasn't a huge concern being put into an already existing park that has plenty of capacity, but that doesn't work when you're putting it into a freshly built park that's struggling to keep wait times down because it hasn't had years of expansion to add capacity. Honestly the whole land in general feels too crowded.

I just read that a “gwazi” (supposedly a creature with a tiger’s body and a lion’s head from African mythology) was invented by Busch Gardens themselves. I looked it up to confirm, and I can’t find a single mention of it outside of Busch Gardens, a video game and a band (both made after the ride). Kind of shitty they made an African theme park and had to invent their own myths anyway.

Bros, visiting tampa/orlando area with my parents for a few days in Nov. Won't have time to do Disney probably, it's 4 days. Want to see all of Universal, I think we can do that in 2 days? Redpill me on busch gardens tampa. I'm not much of a coaster guy but I will do them if they're among the best around. My experience with coasters is all west coast, six flags MM and Discovery Kingdom. How's the comfort on the busch coasters? How's the theming for the padk?
Also anything else we should do while we're there?
Thinking one day in Tampa/St. Pete's to see beaches/riverwalk/whatever else, possibly also busch.

I went back to Universal for the first time since 98 and I really wasn't impressed. Minions and even Jimmy Fallon were decent motion rides. Simpsons on the other hand seemed bad. The screen looked very dull in color and brightness. The worst part is I could not see the lower half of the screen, probably based on the ride vehicle being on the top floor. Transformers was a probably the best ride for me. ET really shows its age but is still good. MIB was fun, especially when the ride suddenly spins. Fast and Furious was pretty bad. It's short and I don't think the ride vehicle was originally meant to view fast paced action. The Bourne Stuntacular show probably had the most impressive mix of screen visuals and sets pieces that blow away a lot of the screen rides. The Horror Make-Up Show was pretty funny. I was not able to ride Mummy or Gringotts due to the long wait times. I had fun, but I'm not sure if I want to go back any time soon. But I'll probably make plans for IoA and Epic.

Disneyland Paris Ratatouille is getting a lengthy refurb and upgrade. Going 2D only, getting better quality videos, snazzing up the queue line (guessing the boring corridors bit and possibly altering the cattle pen). It's also getting some other mystery upgrades to effects and the setting. I think its biggest weaknesses (ride length and being able to see the floor ruining the immersion) can't be fixed but it'll be interesting to see what changes are done.
