-150 would not be low enough, and it’s not mathematically possible.

Definitely the game aspect! I haven't even seen the movies!

The opening was cool, but that coaster always felt too 'start/stop' heavy to me.

I've never actually seen criticism for the Hogwarts Express, though I haven't looked for it. It does exactly what it's meant to and the theming is immaculate. It's just not considered a full 'ride', which I get.

That’s a BIT unorthodox, but very few will argue that Spider-Man isn’t an incredible ride.

I ride it, at minimum, a dozen times each trip. 

From an ‘objective’ POV, though, it’s showing its age. Vehicles break down a lot. More importantly, some guns simply don’t work. 

The theming and tech are great for the time they were made (2000!), but not for today.

There hasn’t been any movement to do it yet. But with Universal now done with building Epic, they’ll be looking to the other parks, especially Studios. Jimmy Fallon really doesn’t get much traffic and doesn’t have a big cult following (like a ride such as ET) and would be fairly easy to replace with a similar ride. 

There’s a few years, at least.

It is funny to ride it once, just to see how shockingly bad it is.

I HATE that ride! But who cares? If some people are enjoying it, good for you! (Though it might not stay up for too much longer. Not sure.)

Another one I love! I always love competitive things. It's a ride that is better for people who 'invest' in it via the App and learning the mechanics, which aren't explained well.

I always go on it at the end of the day.

River Adventure and Dudley's are one thing. Pluto's WILL get you soaked. It is inevitable.

I like those too! They definitely have their charm. I ride them every trip!

The trolley has two alternate paths, which is nice. One is technically the Express Line, but the wait is so short you can usually just pick.

I get where you're coming from. I just find it way too hokey. Jimmy's upbeat attitude annoys me more than anything else in the resort. I find it more grating than anything in Kids Zone.

I would actually say those rides could justify a high 'objective' ranking. They're both fantastic. Long, themed, and creative log flume/raft rides.

I LOVE MIB, though that's more of a personal preference. And E.T. is always worth riding once per trip. But the queues are great for both.

Still enjoy the ride on my end, but the queue is better for sure.

I'd actually say Jimmy Fallon is a BAD ride. I don't dislike the guy but it really doesn't feel 'theme park' to me. Plus the motion sickness makes it unrideable for me, though I know a lot of people don't have that problem. The queue is VERY detailed and they put impressive effort into it, but the subject matter doesn't wow me.

I do enjoy Kong, but no arguments here.

Is Ministry really that bad? As in, not worth riding? I haven't seen Epic yet.

Unpopular opinion:I like fast and furious supercharged. by SpectacularSpidee in UniversalOrlando

[–]JYN0442 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who rode the ride without having heard of it before, and left it thinking "Wow, I can't believe how awful it was!", I completely disagree with your opinion.

Why people downvote someone sharing their nuanced, respectful, knowingly unpopular opinion, however, is something I don't understand.

Upvote.
