Any one else a little concerned about how the Jurassic World IP is going to hold up? Jurassic World was a popular film and I know that a sequel is coming out soon but Jurassic World is culturally irrelevant now despite coming out less than 3 years ago and there isn't a ton of hype for the new movie.
I get that Universal is trying to be more modern with this move, but I feel like Jurassic Park was a timeless classic that might never be forgotten while Jurassic World is a franchise that is going to come and go.
In other words, I'm willing to bet that in 15 years the original Jurassic Park is going to be much more well known and relevant than the Jurassic World films will be.
Therefore, I think that this move is definitely going to hurt them in the long haul.

Here's a pic of the new Incredicoaster trains from the Disney Parks Blog website. IMO these trains look hideous. The blue/gray color looks flat out ugly and the painted on grill and idents makes the train look tacky and cluttered.
-
How crowded do you guys think the park is going to be on Monday? The ticket price for that day is only $97, but I think several OC school districts have that day off from school, so I'm not sure how to analyze it.
-
It's pretty cool so far, but just so you guys know Desperado at Buffalo Bill's isn't listed

Hey guys I have kind of a weird question: In terms of renting out a park, how far will $40,000 get you at Knott's Berry Farm? Like how much ERT/how many rides could you get for that? And if you don't know about KBF's policy on this, how far do you guys THINK this will get you at KBF/ how far will $40,000 get you at similarly sized parks?
BTW I really don't mean to come across as one of those guys who post stuff like this just to sound like they're rich in an attempt to impress people online. There's no way I can afford do this. I'm just asking because of a hypothetical situation my friends and I were considering.
-
I know this was an unnecessarily critical post, and the colors wont stop me from riding it, but I am just too dumbfounded not to speak my mind.
I'm with you though. I thought RIddler looked great before... Now, not so much, and it doesn't really make sense with the character. I mean, it's not a BIG deal, but it's really odd, and another strange color combo decision by an amusement park (shockingly, NOT CF this time! lol)
My question is, was Riddler's Revenge in NEED of a paint job, let alone a new color scheme?
-
I'm thinking of going to Knott's tomorrow. How are crowds this week, with it being Spring Break and the first week of the Boysenberry Festival?
I went to Knott's on Monday and crowds were really light. Silver Bullet was a station wait all day, GhostRider was at most a 20 minute wait and Xcelerator was also a station wait all day. In the 6 or so hours we were there we got 3 rides on Xcelerator, 3 on GhostRider, 4 on Silver Bullet, 2 on Voyage.
-
I've asked a similar question before but do y'all know how crowded bring a friend weeks are? Next week every weekday is a bring a friend free day, and although I do understand that usually bring a friend free days are insanely crowded I was wondering if they were any better on weekdays.
-
I'm sorry if this opinion has already been stated but am I the only person who's pretty sure that Boomerang is going to replaced with a flower bed, trees, or something lame like that?
I'd definitely love to see a new coaster but I feel like Boomerang's footprint is just way too small to put any new rides in.
-
-
You got anything else that you could give us? Like if this is a specific coaster that you rode could you give the city/area the coaster was located in? Or if you saw it online or on a tv show could you tell us the name of the tv show or post the picture on here?

Knott's Berry Farm, its parent company Cedar Fair Entertainment and VRstudios announced today the details of the first permanent installation of a free-roaming, multi-player VR experience in a U.S. theme park, which will be located inside the Knott's Berry Farm Boardwalk Arcade.
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that that indicates that the VR room will replace the Lazer Tag room (just to clear it up for some people).
I still think its a weird idea though. I know that it's probably going to be a large space, but running into people and walls seems very plausible.

Here my top 3
Mercy- Kanye West feat. Big Sean, Pusha T and 2 Chainz
Ni**as in Paris- Kanye West & Jay Z
Forever- Drake feat. Kanye West, Lil Wayne and Eminem

So now that Monte is about finished, that means every coaster in the park has been re-painted in the last 5 years... except Xcelerator. Is there an actual reason they are keeping it that super faded pink? I don't buy the "it's too difficult to paint" reason, considering Cedar Point was able to repaint Millennium Force and Top Thrill Dragster.
This had me thinking...
If they were to repaint Xcelerator, how would they be able to paint the Top Hat? There's probably a way but the fact that it doesn't have a catwalk on top (or whatever it's called that Kingda Ka and TTD have) makes it seem very difficult.

I went to KBF on Monday and I was able to snap an updated pic of Montezooma's Revenge.
I personally think that MR looks amazing by itself, as the orange shade they picked is really pretty and the paint makes MR look new and fresh. However, with all of the other red/orange rides next to MR, it looks kinda weird.
Also sorry for the kinda low quality of this pic- I went with some friends who don't get the chance to visit KBF often, so I didn't want to drag them around so that I could take some pictures.

ok then

22. You just got drowned by a flume/rapids/chute-the-chutes. Do you pay the $$ for the dryer machine or do you continue on with your day trudging around like soggy dog?

22. Name your favorite steel coaster under 125 feet tall.
TC is exactly 125 so GhostRider
Ghostrider is not a steel coaster.

What a game!
Gotta admit, those 2nd and 3rd quarters were insanley boring, but that 4th quarter comeback was insane. It was as if one second the Pats had no chance and the next they were tied.
Where would you guys rank that among the other Superbowls? As a younger fan, I've only seen the 7 most recent Superbowls and I'd rank them
1. Giants over Patriots in 2012
2. Patriots over Falcons in 2017
3. Patriots over Seahawks in 2015
4. Ravens over 49ers in 2013
5. Packers over Steelers in 2011
6. Broncos over Panthers in 2016
7. Seahawks over Broncos in 2014

My school is considering doing grad night at California Adventure and I was wondering if any of y’all have ever been to a Disney grad night? If so, how many attractions are open and how are the waits?
