The base price for the spot robot from Boston Dynamics is $74,500. If universal paid this price they likely spent around a quarter of a million dollars bringing toothless’s kids to life in a fully mobile animatronic form. Thank you @UniversalORL

Mostly written works that discuss the world of theme parks and the themed entertainment industry I'm also on: Youtube, Instagram, Spotify, Bluesky and Threads
- The left is Epic Universe the right is Japans 😭🫣
00:08BREAKING NEWS🚨 Donkey Kong has finally made his first appearance at Epic Universe today! We noticed that he looks slightly different than at Universal Studios Japan! - If Disney doesn’t seem to care for a legend like Jim Hensons final project, it makes you question how much they care for Walt Disneys final project
- Disney unnecessarily closing nostalgic attractions for short term gain to compete with universal while universal is realizes their importance and is adding them back is so ironic
- Gutting a highly detailed dark ride full of physical sets to make a ride that is primarily screens still baffles me today
- You could theoretically run into all of these little mermaid characters on your trip. If I was a kid I would be so confused
- Not every coaster is designed for a theme park. Sometimes they can find another use like for filming a movie
00:00 - It crazy that not a single ride or show in Animal Kingdom exists in the other parks
- Its ironic how Disney spent a bunch of money and hype on project exo only to result in a limited time hulk sighting with limited movement while universal was secretly creating a massive costume character with 10 fold the amount of movement that you can actually meet
00:00 - Not having Dr. Facilier in Tiana’s Bayou Adventure despite being a great excuse for the drops and better story because his connection to voodoo but advertising he will be performing his magic on the Disney Destiny is so Ironic
- Its been over 2 years since avatar coming to Disneyland was initially teased yet construction still hasn't started 🫠
- The fact that @UniversalORL has kept Hagrids running in an amazing state and spending the money to improve the experience while disney won’t even fix simple effects on Rise of the Resistance is a perfect example of the current differences in park management and investmentAerial look at expansion of the maintenance building of Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure.
