    Express is a way better system than Disney does because the high prices mean it is a true premium experience but also keeps it from being oversold thus making the experience better for everyone else. Universal has also never really had a problem with disability access or now in the case of Disney, just kicking everyone off disability access in order to sell more genie plus.
    That being said I have at slower times been able to do most of the major rides across both universal parks due to the higher utilization of single rider lines. I can only imagine Disney doesn't have many due to incentive to get everyone to buy upcharges as well as queue utilization for said upcharges.

    Screen backlash has actually cause universal to remove 3d from the minions ride as well as fast and furious. Those rides aren't good in the first place, but they certainly are worse without 3d.

    • @LiftHillsandThrills
      @LiftHillsandThrills  7 дней назад

      I didn't do Fast and Furious it was unavailable but I've heard bad things. The 3D ruins the immersion completely, it's 2024 they need to move with the times. Transformers and Spiderman would be MILES better without the glasses as the scenic details compliment the screen yet the glasses obscure all the detail. Gringotts would be horrific without glasses because of the sheer number of screens and it's just a poor ride. Minions is probably the only one I can agree would be good with glasses because it's very similar to a 3D movie experience with a giant screen.

    How you felt about Gringotts is how I felt about Mario Kart. One of the biggest disappointments ever. So much money and effort must have gone into the "game" and screen parts of it, but the ride lacks so much genuine kinetics, which is such a phenomenal shame because the physical scenery is so good, all it needed was some speed and take the gimmick away.

I didn't mind the new Minion Blast though, that's cheesy good fun. Dreamworks Land was a bitter disappointment. Reliance on screens is never a good idea but they're slowly moving away from being too heavy on that now which is great to see!
