Let's Talk Theme Parks

[prisma-talks-theme-parks]

Welcome to my blog!

Hi! I'm @prismatica-the-strange , you can call me Prisma.

I'm a 23-year-old woman and this is my side blog where I talk about theme park news, updates, tips, and tricks!

Most of what I post will either come from my experience, the experience of a multitude of park vloggers such as Adam Hattan, Ordinary Adventures, WDW news, Disney Food Blog, & TheTimTracker, and tweets from the official park accounts.

I will try to post things like merch updates, rare character sightings, and ride & attraction opening/closing/refurbishments. As well as my own thoughts and ideas on all things theme parks.

I will try to answer whatever questions you may have with either my own personal advice or by directing you to a relevant account/website/vlog series.

Parks I post about-

Disney World (Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Epcot, Animal Kingdom, Typhoon Lagoon, Blizzard Beach, Disney Springs, and Hotels)

Disneyland (Mainly Disneyland California, DCA, and Downtown Disney)

Disney Cruise Line (Limited)

Universal Orlando (Universal Studios, Island of Adventure, Volcano Bay, Epic Universe, City Walk, and Hotels)

Universal Hollywood & City Walk

Six Flags Great Escape and Hurricane Harbor

The Olaf animatronic at Disney Adventure World has had its first public malfunction.

So the Avengers show on the Adventure.... It looks like this has been in the works since like 2015. Not a fan that it's a bunch of canonical dead characters.

I do love that we have Sam's Cap, Miss Marvel, and Deadpool, but I would have loved to have seen Shuri's Black Panther.

Another sign that this is based off a modded old script, For some reason Nebula is inferred to be a villain???

Girls they sold they Great Escape. I hope they don't do a full rebrand, I will cry

[prisma-talks-theme-parks]

God, the people who made 2012 (2009) wanted a ride so bad. Every action sequence is like the Spider-man ride at universal. They wanted it soooo bad.

[prisma-talks-theme-parks]

For those who don't know, Adam the Woo has passed away suddenly.

No cause of death has been confirmed, but this is heartbreaking news.

I was reading some ad copy for the dining at the new universal theme park and this was so funny:

"Coleslaw offers a reprieve from the heat of this dark dish."

Not as fun as I had hoped, but I didn't expect much going on the busiest long weekend, but I enjoyed Fright Fest.

The main sign was pretty too!

[prisma-talks-theme-parks]

Personally? I think that, if they change Lost Continent to anything, Universal should pair with Mattel to make it old school Barbie Land.

I'm talking Princess and the Pauper, Rapunzel, Swan Lake, Magic of Pegasus, and Three Musketeers era.

They would sell the fuck ton of Barbies and could even do clothing and accessory lines based off other Universal attractions! (Maybe even make some for the Curvy Barbies!)

I’m watching someone’s old videos they took at a former amusement park that I grew up going to go in Las Vegas called, MGM Grand Adventures.

Discovering that a walkaround costume apparently used to exist of Tim Curry’s penguinsona, Drake, was not someone I was expecting going into it.

[prisma-talks-theme-parks]

This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen!!!

[prisma-talks-theme-parks]

You'll meet and bond with the most interesting people on a water raft ride.

[prisma-talks-theme-parks]

Animatronics!

The new little droids they play-tested in Galaxy's Edge (California) are so cute and Wall-e reminiscent and I hope that, with how I believe they work, I hope they make a roaming Wall-e because I would love to meet him!

@hermanngottlieb-geiszler thank you for telling me! I just watched a POV. And parts of it are surprising like the other aforementioned rides.

I was surprised to see that it was opened in 2019 because of the graphic quality, but it's still really cool!

I especially liked the fact that it's multiple parts, that seems pretty unique.

I think if that park and the people who made the ride/experience teamed up with Universal and put that Universal polish on it, it would be an insanely popular attraction.

[prisma-talks-theme-parks]

Pacific Rim ride at Universal when?

Look all I'm saying is I wanna pilot a Jaeger and fight monsters over and over and over again

Maybe it could start as a training simulation like in Uprising, then partway through an actual Kaiju attacks and we have to do it "for real"

Kinda like how Transformers and Spiderman starts ride alongs that turn into "real" danger.

[prisma-talks-theme-parks]

They're fucking closing it.

Less than two years after opening it, Disney will close the Starcruiser, for good, in late September.

Instead of lowering prices to get more people on board, Disney is straight giving up on one of their most immersive attractions.

[prisma-talks-theme-parks]

Turns out that after that long refurbishment period and reopening, Poseidon's Fury at Universal will be closing permanently on May 9th

A strange decision and one I am extremely upset about it because it's my favorite attraction and I live too far away to go experience it again
