Let's play a game -- What do these Universal Orlando rides have in common?

[Flyfly_Eclipse]

I think we need an umbrella??

 

[DocBosch]

I'd say all have water effects, but three use 4-D water spray effects, while one just has water involved in the show.

 

[Flyfly_Eclipse]

Another hint: MIB can fit into the category too

 

[Flyfly_Eclipse]

well, the water spray effect was what I was talking bout. Were you doubting Twister? I didn't remember how "intense" the water effects were...

 

[DocBosch]

Yeah, I doubted it because on T2, Shrek and Spider-Man the water is a 4D effect (something wet happens on screen and we feel it) while on twister it's rain simulation. But what's water's water right??

Now my turn again. I'm going to post this now and come back tomorrow.

1) Jaws
2) BTTF
3) T2:3D
4) Shrek

Now, this is similar to my last one, in that it relates to what the attractions were based on, and not the rides themselves.

The connection this time isn't what makes them different from the other rides, but what makes them different from each other. And while all these movies had sequels, what's important is the sequnce I put them in.

Anyway, I'll be back tomorrow.

The year the movies came out, or the year the attraction opened.

In movie order, Jaws first (78?), BTTF (85), T2 (92?), Shrek (2000?)

In ride order, Jaws (90, not counting its 2 year rehab), BTTF (91), T2:3D (95?), Shrek (2003)

 

[Flyfly_Eclipse]

ohhh! that's a good one DM...never thought of that...

 

[the Dark Marauder]

"what's important is the sequnce I put them in."

That gave it away, IMO.

 

[DocBosch]

You close enough Marauder.

Each ride is based on a movie from a different decade.

Jaws - 70s
BTTF - 80s
T2 - 90s
Shrek - 00s

[Flyfly_Eclipse]

Kevin get on AIM if you can, please

 

[SpideyHulk24]

Correct!!!!! Now your turn!

 

[DocBosch]

1) Jaws
2) Sylvester McMonkeyBean
3) BTTF

-Kevin

 

[JessicaR]

I've ben thinking about this one for a bit and can't even come up with a single common link!

 

[JessicaR]

Rides that had trouble or in the case if Sylvester McMonkey McBean never opened at conception?

Rides that will be put to rest next?

 

[DocBosch]

Close enough.

All these rides had buildings or areas that existed when the parks opened, but the rides themesleves did not open until later (or, in the case of McMonket Bean, yet).

You're first guess works with Jaws and McMonkey Bean, but I don't think BTTF had any problems that delayed it's opening.

You're turn now.

-Kevin

 

[JessicaR]

1. E.T
2. JPRA
3. BTTF
4. JAWS
5. MIB

 

[BarryHom]

It's too late to think!

 

[SpideyHulk24]

They are all rides where things go wrong????

ex. Jaws attacking, MIB aliens attacking, ET police trying to capture, etc.....
