Kann sich Mack doch versprochen haben, und meint mit dieser Anlage das größte Projekt was sie je verwirklicht haben... wenn ich an Bau, Schienenmeter, Technik, Züge für Kapazität und evt. mehrfachen Wechsel aus Dark-Ride Szenen und Achterbahnstrecke denke...

Ansonsten finde ich es krass, dass Waterworld als Film weiterhin der Flop des Jahrzehnts war und trotzdem weiter die Stunt-Show reproduziert wird... krasse Kiste.

Ist es denn schon bestätigt, dass die Show das Waterworld Thema bekommt, oder sind das nur Vermutungen? (Die zugegebener Maßen naheliegend wären)

Wir haben nun endlich die Antwort auf die Frage, ob der Launch mit Reibrädern oder LSM erfolgt. Ich hätte alleine wegen dem Verschleiß auf LSM getippt, aber da man hier auch Reibräder verwendet, muss das System bei Hulk wohl so gut funktionieren, dass man es beibehält, oder es war für B&M schlicht technisch nicht möglich, was ich mir aber eher nicht vorstellen kann.

Wenn man ein 20 Jahre altes Achterbahndesign bestellt dürfte der Schwerpunkt eh auf "bekannt und bewährt" liegen, warum also was ändern?

Auch hier mal wieder ein größeres Update

Da ich mich total für die Planung von so Großprojekten begeistern kann, finde ich diese Planungsansichten des Potterbereiches/Darkrides echt interessant.

Beijing, October 12 – Today, Universal Beijing Resort announced the creative vision behind its widely anticipated theme park, Universal Studios Beijing – unveiling seven highly themed and immersive lands that will bring incredible experiences to China. In addition to the lands, Universal Beijing Resort will include a signature Universal CityWalk Beijing entertainment complex and two resort hotels. The vision: to become a theme park and resort destination that provides unique, extraordinary and thrilling experiences for visitors from China and from around the world.

“We will immerse our guests in incredible experiences that bring their favorite stories and characters to life in entirely new ways,” said Mr. Tom Mehrmann, President and General Manager of Universal Beijing Resort. “Our theme park will showcase the best Universal rides, as well as all-new, unique experiences specially created to reflect China’s rich cultural heritage. We are looking forward to sharing these exciting experiences with millions of visitors.”

As part of today’s announcement, celebrities Li Bingbing and Liu Haoran (Turbo Liu) took fans on a specially animated sneak peek journey through the seven themed lands along with CityWalk and the two hotels. International film star Li Bingbing, who made an appearance in Transformers: Age of Extinction and young actor Liu Haoran, who voiced Hiccup in the Chinese translation of How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, led fans on a discovery journey through the park. Video of the tour features guest appearances by Chinese film director Zhang Yimou and Hollywood film director Steven Spielberg, who partnered together to create a behind-the-scenes movie making experience for Universal Beijing Resort.

Universal Beijing Resort has been widely anticipated, both China and across the globe, ever since it was announced in 2014. The destination represents a historic partnership that has been in the making for more than a decade. Located in Beijing’s Tongzhou District, this phase of Universal Beijing Resort will occupy about 169 hectares (approx. 420 acres) of a 400-hectare (1,000-acre) site in the strategic central area of its Cultural Tourism Zone. Featuring extraordinary entertainment experiences, Universal Beijing Resort will play a key role in helping to elevate the cultural and tourism landscape of Beijing – becoming a tourism landmark for the Beijing sub-center and contributing to a higher level of economic growth and international cultural exchange. Construction work is moving rapidly forward, and all the resort is expected to open in 2021.

The seven highly themed and expansive lands at Universal Studios Beijing theme park will bring popular culture’s most compelling stories and characters to life. Each land will contain a magnificently themed mix of attractions, shows, shops and restaurants. They include: Kung Fu Panda Land of Awesomeness, Transformers: Metrobase, Minion Land, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Jurassic World Isla Nublar, Hollywood and WaterWorld.

Kung Fu Panda Land of Awesomeness
Kung Fu Panda Land of Awesomeness brings to life the animated movie series Kung Fu Panda, which follows the adventures of the brave panda, Po, in his quest to become a Kung Fu master. The completely indoor experience is set in “Legendary China,” and is poised to become the world’s first theme park land created with the Kung Fu Panda theme. Visitors will be thrilled by the numerous Chinese-themed locations featured throughout the environment, including many of the franchise’s most beloved icons, such as the Jade Palace, the Panda Village, and the Peach Tree of Heavenly Wisdom. With its stunning Chinese architecture, festive decor, delicious food and captivating performances, this unforgettable, one-of-a-kind experience promises to transport Universal guests “through the movie screen” and into the majesty and grandeur of the movie.

Transformers: Metrobase
Transformers: Metrobase is based on Hasbro’s Transformers franchise and is the first theme park land in the world dedicated to Transformers. An expanded story was specifically developed for the character Metrobase, who is a Titan, a robot the size of a city. In conjunction with top Chinese scientists, Metrobase selected this Energon rich site just outside the city of Beijing to serve as the N.E.S.T. Beijing headquarters– a top-secret, technologically-advanced zone where an alliance between humans and Autobots developed to protect the Earth. The land is filled with Cybertronian architecture and advanced technology that creates an immersive experience that brings “guest agents” into the world of Tranformers like never before.

Minion Land
Inspired by Illumination Entertainment’s Despicable Me franchise, Minion Land is an exciting, fun-filled world that is alive with characters and scenes from the films. It is a place where children and adults can see exciting new shows, meet their favorite characters, and enjoy interaction with the mischievous Minions everywhere they go! Scenes from the films come to life, inviting visitors to play along in an immersive land that is fun for the whole family.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
With the opening of Universal Beijing Resort, Chinese fans will have the opportunity to celebrate the magic of the Wizarding World when they step inside “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Hogsmeade,” an award-winning experience that features multiple groundbreaking attractions, shops, restaurants, entertainment and more. From its snow-capped roofs and cobblestone streets to all the special touches that characterize the whimsical look and feel of the land, “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter” will transport guests of all ages to the very places they read about in the stories or watched on the silver screen.

Jurassic World Isla Nublar
Welcome to Jurassic World Isla Nublar. Guests of all ages can explore Isla Nublar, an island of wonder and thrills where Dinosaurs roam the Earth again. Universal Beijing Resort has taken the essence of this legendary film franchise and created a larger-than-life destination for our audiences to experience attractions and adventures never seen before. Feel the power of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Velociraptors, Ankylosaurs, and the fearsome Indominus Rex at Jurassic World: Isla Nublar.

Universal Studios Beijing will also bring Hollywood Boulevard to China. Visitors will feel as if they are living in the Hollywood itself and could encounter celebrities at any moment.
