That is an objectively worse name. Ridiculous they couldn’t come to an agreement or something. I don’t think a roller coaster name was going to have much impact on the foundation and I assume they wouldn’t have asked for much to use the phrase in a roller coaster name.
A legal battle with a nonprofit over a name isn’t a good look. And it’s petty.
That is what an agreement would be for...
I agree, the name change is unfortunate. Now seeing Stardust I think of old, awkward WWE wrestlers.
And realistically could drag on right up to next years park opening-- better to do it now.
my frustration with this logic is that the nonprofit was the entity that made a fuss over a non-issue in the first place. They’d have a weak case in court
It doesn’t matter which side created the dispute or what the likely outcome would be. A large corporation fighting a children’s non-profit for the right to use a name the non-profit trademarked first will never play well for the large corporation, especially when that corporation wants to use it for an amusement ride.
Yep, especially with how Universal is marketing to families with their planned park in Texas and all they're doing in Florida to market to families. You want to have as good of an image as possible right now.
disregard my last reply, trying to figure out if something is either edited/real about this ride in a photo. sorry about that
Are the colors growing on anyone? I was hoping that I’d see the vision once the entire park neared completion and I saw how it fit into its surroundings but I still find the yellow and green ugly. Black and white, black and grey, white and dark grey would have looked so much better.
I’m so glad the US finally has two of these insane Macks now. We had Copperhead Strike and Time Traveler then had to watch Europe build Hyperia, Voltron, and Ride to Happiness.
Also I don’t expect more of them to be built for ~4ish years because they get made outside the US.
