They're going to trust people to just stand through a ride?

[@UmmYeahOk]

People walking and standing all day, for multiple days, then come to this ride? Someone’s going to try to sit. And what about the people that want more time in an area, trying to go backwards. People will be getting off that platform constantly either to avoid someone or to stay longer.

[@Collector3476]

@@UmmYeahOk that is a point but I don't think that it's going to be a problem if people decide to get off the moving belt to stay longer in the same scene.

[@UmmYeahOk]

@@Collector3476 so there is a reason why the walkway belts that connect City Walk to Parking/busses have railings. If it were the Jetsons, sure, people could step off, possibly even pass the people taking up the entire space while standing even though the audio tells you not to do that. It’s to keep people safe. The other thing is that when Disney was imagineering Haunted Mansion and Pirates, they too were supposed to be walk through attractions. The problem/fear was that people would simply linger, and not leave. If you’ve ever been stuck on the Swiss Family Robinson/Tarzan Tree, you know how annoying this can be. Heck, some of the interactive queues, like Peter Pan are like this. Why aren’t they moving? Do you cut? But you want to see it too. Now it’s your turn, do you hold up the line, since the last group has now created such a massively huge gap? I could easily see this place becoming an Instagramable nightmare with people lining up just to take pics. Rather than point and shoot like the old days. And that’s with no moving floor. Imagine looking at something and accidentally stepping off, or being off and accidentally stepping on. Easy to do since you’re not paying attention to the floor, you’re looking at the actual attraction. All it takes it partial weight on just a bit of one foot. Now you’ve fallen, and everyone coming toward you may fall as well since the bulk of you is still stationary… …there’s just too much of a fall risk. It won’t happen. Besides, imagine staying on the belt and not even being able to see anything BECAUSE of the people standing off the belt. You too will have to step off the belt just to wait and see, if there is even space to wait. That belt would just remain turned off for safety issues like this.

[@alexsmom100]

[@Gforu81]

I'm not really feeling this walking walkway...don't we need to sit after waiting in line?!!!?!

[@floridalife2419]

I’m intrigued but if it does not contain any way to partition groups and have some sort of seating, this ride is going to be a nightmare for TM’s. Kids will run up and down the belt and most likely try to go into the sets. TM’s have to constantly prevent people from sitting where they shouldn’t be and a family who is standing the entire day would certainly find this as a prime opportunity. Another thing to note is that this attraction does not seem ADA accommodating for those in wheelchairs. They can’t be on moving walkways anywhere else in the park even as straight belts. This one has turns which would not work at all. Hopefully when the time comes and the details are officially released it’ll make more sense. But currently with the info provided I’m not big on it.

[@alec8087]

Weird to me that Universal opted to only use half the building for a year round attraction to make room available for an event that's only a couple of months in the year. Plus, this year they still have the same amount of houses because they added one near Fast and Furious instead. The attraction could have been an actual ride had they decided to use the whole building (and an overall better experience).

[@SalivatingSteve]

They will use it as a general purpose event space for different holidays, corporate events, food festivals, etc.

[@kylek1476]

Part of the permit list mentioned future restrooms and break room.

[@saturdaymorningfan3123]

Using half the building for hhn a once a year only event and empty the rest of the year feels like such a waste. Japan has two separate attractions now in their shrek replacement. You could put something there adding something new to the park then yet another empty theatre with at least 4 more already empty in the park. Such waste of spaces.

[@NinthShinigami]

They could’ve put the USJ anime shows they always have in Japan 😭 rip

[@saturdaymorningfan3123]

Anything would be better than ANOTHER empty theatre at the park only used two months out of the year when another anything could go there. How about a small minion's kids ride like japan and hollywood uses? Japan has small indoor kids rides to add more for kids. Again, better than another waste of space empty theatre.

[@bryancurdi2318]

While it's a cool ride concept, I can't think l of anything I'd hate more than to spend an hour on my feet waiting for an attraction that will also require me to stand.

[@JH-lu5yg]

I find this ride idea really baffling. It seems like as a minions ride it will be aimed at young kids, but the mix of young kids plus moving walkway sounds like an accident waiting to happen. Think of all those escalator type of stories. So will there be a height restriction to keep the littlest kids off it? Or I wonder what kind of safety devices they will build in? Also sounds like a nightmare for others who may have some health issues or disabilities. Moving walkway and having to stand in place plus target game sounds like vertigo in the making. Nice thing is it might be easy for a wheelchair to go on and off the track depending on how it's designed. Also seems like a waste of space only using a large part of the building a couple months a year. Think of how much bigger/better of a ride they could have done with the whole space.

Or a Stand-GRU...[surpressed chuckle]. The fact you liked this "joke" made me laugh. Thank you for another great video. My worries for this ride is that eventuealy someone falls and sues Universal and we still end up with a walktrough instead of a Stand-Gru attraction.

[@ThemeParkStop]

Stand-GRU will forever be how it is known now!

[@dvcreservations]

Honestly, I wonder how long and how many falls it will take for them to permanently turn the belt off. I can’t see some not going wild in there causing injury. Not to be a bummer, but standing in queue is even hard for some. Once you hit that belt universal is going to be responsible for injury.

[@harleyoliver8913]

If you’ve ever looked at the Disney accidents wiki page, majority of their accidents are from their rides with moving loading platforms. So this idea for an attraction is so weird to me! Also walking around the theme parks all day is hard on the best of us, so a sit down attraction is a welcomed rest. I just don’t understand this at all!

If they are smart, they will design this ride to be able to be easily retrofitted for sit down vehicles if keeping people in a moving track from bunching up becomes a nightmare

[@JustJessee]

Thiiiiiiiiis. If they're expecting any kind of additional interactivity beyond standing up right on a moving walkway with turns its just not going to happen. People get seriously injured on escalators. And that's just standing still, while being penned in with handrails on both sides. I've tripped myself standing still. I can't imagine a family with small children being able to keep this from becoming a pinball machine for those around them trying to stay in line.

Not a fan. I don't use a wheelchair, but I can't stand in one place for too long. It causes my back to start to lock up. I don't see how this can work for people with disabilities like this.

[@PoseidonEntertainment]

Is the Potter expansion cancelled though? I believe you've suggested that the VR attraction is definitely cut from Epic, and the former HHN tent near the Men in Black queue is clearly absent when waiting for Bug house. Does the demolition of the theater not seem likely? I can conceivably see Nightmare Fuel moved to the Bourne theater for next year's event, especially since it's already equipped for stunts and pyro.

[@ThemeParkStop]

Permits for Fear Factor demolition now say “canceled project” and were never approved. New ones have not yet been filed. From everyone I have spoken to, VR Potter is dead at Epic AND dead at USF. I did a video about it earlier this year, and since then there still has not been any movement on this site. If new demo permits show up I will post about it though!

While this will be a fun addition, Studios needs some serious love….maybe port over a copy of Secret Life of Pets and gut Fast and Furious for a coaster….especially seeing as how the new Potter addition that was planned for the park got cancelled.

Is it just me or is this new type of attraction seem dangerous? I see so many things happening. Not only people trying to stay in one scene but you will have people who try to speed run this game.

Great video, as always! Although, I am terribly disappointed in this replacement for Shrek. It is such a lazy approach to add more minions, and while I understand the space is limited, adding a different IP seemed to make more sense.

[@seeyoucu]

Nice. Thanks for this video!

[@ParkMind]

While everyone’s eyes or on epic universe as a Disney world killer I think they should also be on this ride as it it geared at kids and family. This is a market share currently dominated by Disney parks. Universal building this shows that it doesn’t just want to grow in scale and quality to be beat Disney it also wants to grow its current audience base

[@ciscoduncan1490]

This is a bad idea people these days are not as accommodating and cooperative as they used to be. How are they going to keep the people moving in the attraction next to yelling at them or putting hands on them. They could’ve done so much more with this space maybe putting in a really nice dark ride or replicating the Dreamworks theater that they have at Universal Studios Hollywood. hopefully it will be good but I doubt it.

With this and the rumors of an F&F coaster at USH, it seems Universal's biggest problem is choosing lousy IP/themes for their rides outside of Epic Universe. They have managed to make it work with SLOP, however, but will lightning strike twice? Or thrice? What about maybe a Demon Slayer 4D ride?

Should be a fast moving (& hopefully short) wait time 2) More family rides for Uni Studios 3) Solid IP 4) Unique ride system Things that worry me: 1) Very safe & low-budget ride system 2) Potential for big headaches regarding ops with dumb guests 3) Standing on a theme park ride....ugh 4) Too many damn Minions.....

The last thing I want to do after standing in a que for 90 minutes is stand for a ride

I thought it was going to be a similar layout to the spiderman ride at the avengers campus? Would be better than standing up.

this really seems not much different than Soundstage 40's original attraction, Hitchcock. Multiple walkthrough interactive attractions that could only serve a number of guest at a time, but built in a way that once the personal experience is over, guest would (will) naturally move on. However, this is even better with the advantage of a moving track.

The Studios is in desperate need of some love so it's good to see it getting some. Hopefully there are more additions in the future (ideally repealing the Fear Factor stage & F&F

This is one new attraction that I can verifiably say I will never go on, a moving walkway sounds awful, I don’t know why they wouldn’t just make it an Omni mover
