It does no matter if the movie of MIB is not popular any more. The concept of an impressive dark ride that allows for guest to attack aliens has enough draw outside of the IP
Yeah, but that's what the villain con ride is for. That said, I wouldn't rule out a refurbishment.

But that’s exactly the point. Universal can keep the idea of a dark ride where you attack aliens, but change up the IP, add some new things, and the ride appeals to a whole new audience and becomes popular again.

Don’t get rid of ET, just give it a good refurb! It’s a classic!
I would be so sad if they got rid of ET. I've only been to US/IoA once and ET was one of my favorites cause I remember seeing videos of it when I was a kid in the 90s. It made me feel like a child
I think they should update ET to enhance the experience because it’s showing it’s age but with that said I hope this ride stays because it’s a true classic
They won't do It if Steven Spielberg Is still alive

I'm gonna be real here: I think Universal should re-theme Toon Lagoon. Besides Popeye,most people don't even know who those characters are any more but the rides in there are pretty good though. I think a re-theme is what's needed

I wish Universal showed love to The Cat In The Hat, as it’s a solid ride that was intense and yet also kid friendly, making a really diverse ride. Sucks Universal doesn’t care for it right now
It's also a decently lengthy ride. It's like 5 minutes and it's going through every page of the book.
They fixed it up over a year ago. It's fresh and dope again.

Actually, when I was five years old, I always wanted to go on Jimmy Neutron's Nicktoon Blast, but it closed before I even got a chance to get on it. It looked like a fun ride though.
It was. I wish I visited the Studios when Hanna-Barbera was around, but I hold Nicktoon Blast with high nostalgic value. Even got a Goddard plush from the gift shop after my first go on the ride lol
My first memory of going to Universal was going on Jimmy Neutron it was fun from what I remember ( I was probably five when I went the first time) and it sucks that it and any connection to Nickelodeon is pretty much gone.
Its truly not much better or worse than minion mayhem tbh

I feel like even though it’s basically the icon second to Harry Potter they should just drop Simpson land, Disney is only gonna get more aggressive on that front once they’re backed into a corner
Oh he answered my question 😂
Is the simpsons really that iconic? I think the idea of replacing it with pokemon would be a huge success. Pokemon is probably just as big to asian audiences as harry potter is to the west.

@@metallicnole4514 Pikmin Replace Men in Black Alien Attack great Idea
Toon lagoon should stay as is, especially ripsaw falls, even when the park opened these characters were out of date by a lot, I believe it was intentional to add comic strips from past times to give a feel of nostalgia and history with a little fun.
It was also cheap. 2D boards all over the place instead of complex animatronics and show scenery.
I don't think this narrative that Universal is itching to pull the trigger at around 20 years is necessarily correct.
Universal closes rides because get old and inoperable. Then they get replaced because the cost of their operation is not worth the traction and money is brings back in.
The rides that are past the "expiration date" are still there because they are working fine enough and have enough popularity. They even made a 1:1 reconstruction of Hulk because people like it so much, even though the old track needed to be taken down.
They are also forced to replace because they don't have the room to keep expanding. If they had the space Disney does, I'm sure they wouldn't be permanently replacing quite so many attractions and instead just add more.
Brother, most of what this guy says is opinion based that he tries to push off as fact, or just him being straight wrong. He stated in his last video that regional parks took after Uni and Disney and added 3D rides to their parks once Avatar (2009) proved to be a success, and referenced the SpongeBob Ride (2004) and Fly me to the moon (2008) as proof….
I agree
@@CollinMckenna no
Because islands of adventure got the velocicoaster which is still relatively new and well liked, I would say whatever they plan to take out next should at least be in universal studios
Don't forget universal studios is getting a whole new land right now.
This might be an unpopular opinion, but Jurassic park was originally the main property at the Universal parks when it was added to IOA, and is arguably still in second place over two decades later. With them having their major seller (Harry Potter) be in all 3 parks I don't see why they don't give the same treatment to the Jurassic franchise. With room next to Epic Universe for a 4th park putting JP at that park and doing a complete overhaul at IOA and turning the current JP and JW mix land into a solo JW land seems like a great idea to me.
I doubt that's a good idea. JP merch sells more than JW stuff to this day. Always see people buy the JP stuff in the gift shop over the JW themed items. I think it would be better to turn the river adventure ride into a jeep ride reenacting the scene where the T-Rex is chasing it. The animatronics would last longer and would require less maintenance too due to no longer being in the water 24/7.
Jurassic World is not as timeless a vibe as Jurassic Park. Merch sales and the longevity of the love for the originals prove that. JW is already a fading star. Adding velocicoaster was fine, great ride, but the atmosphere of JW does not translate well for the entire land ie. Restaurants and gift shops and making people want to stay and hang out. They were quite depressing movies compared to JP.
Honestly, i think Supercharged is on its way out once the coaster opens in Hollywood. If i had to guess the plan, the existing ride gets a retheme and new entrance making it a Knight Bus ride for Diagon Alley, and we get either an F&F show where Fear Factor was or a coaster in and expansion of that plot of land
The idea of another bus ride through huge screens ride sounds so unexciting even if it is the night bus… they need to replace the whole thing from the ground up
@@usablefiber no night bus
No, I think F&F will be replaced with a rollercoaster.
@@jalapeno1119 Fast & Furious Coaster
Universal Studios Orlando needs, tbh, a lot of work once Universal is done with Epic Universe. Islands is doing fine (although Jurassic Park River Adventure is in horrible shape), was just there a week or so ago, but there’s almost no reason to go to the Studios park anymore if you’re not a Minions fan
Revenge of the Mummy, the Simpsons (which is probably going away soon), and especially Diagon Alley keep guests wanting to come back, though.

I know it’s an unpopular opinion but I love the Simpsons ride and the Springfield area. I’m a giant Simpsons fan. I’ve never got to go on Back to the Future but I do really love the Simpsons ride. So I hope it has a few years left. Also MIB is fire, don’t get rid of it 🙏
me too! one of my closest friends and i are huge simpsons fans and we want to take a trip out to visit the area before it’s gone. i’m so worried it’ll close down before we get the chance so i’m hoping it hangs on a little longer 🤞
The equipment needed to make that ride is no longer possible, the person who made that ride left a long time ago, all they can do is replace it
@@ghostshrimp5006I mean, not like they have to, they could go the route where they use new parts made from scratch to redo the ride system or a different theme park manufacturer to entirely refurbish it. But considering the impending deal ending by 2028, unfortunately I don’t think Universal will go through the efforts to renew the contract AND also redo the ride along with it, it would end up being pretty costly. I hate to say it because I love riding it when I go to universal studios Hollywood, but Simpsons very likely is out of here within the next 5 years.
I love MIB and Springfield too please leave those and JP and ET everything else can go just not those 🙏🙏🙏 leave atleast a few classics that made Universal what it is today
So FIRE! MIB Forever!!
I went to Universal Orlando recently and Rip Ride Rockit was rough. I don't think the coaster is popular enough to justify rebuilding it. I didn't know that the Hulk was known for being a head banger.
It had long lines all day when I was there in Feb and I loved it, didn’t notice it being rough rode it like 10 times.
Both Rip Ride and The Hulk gave me serious headaches when I rode them in September 2022. No other coasters gave me that problem.
The hulk doesnt bang my head it just makes me almost black out because of the forces 😂
The hulk just had the track redone a few years back. And rip ride is little rough but it is popular it’s the only big coaster at studios and trust me that park needs to keep that for now 😂😂😂😂
@@710moose8facts. I feel like some problems people are having with the hulk are a them problem.
Disney might actually be OK extending the rights for the Simpsons. They likely get a cut of the merch sales and benefit from the cross promotion of the IP in a theme park without having to actually build and maintain a theme park land for it themselves.
The only real problem with Springfield is the ride itself. I know they replaced the mechanical systems when they converted it from BTTF but those older type motion simulators are brutal. When the motion of the ride vehicle doesn't mesh well with the motion on the screen people get sick in a hurry.

Cat in the Hat needs work but it isnt that bad 😭
I think they could replace the abandoned amphitheater at Toon Lagoon with a CupHead ride since it’s owned by the same company that owns Popeye.
I dont even know what cuphead is
Cuphead is too niche, unfortunately.
ET needs HUMONGOUS changes and upgrades if it was to stay open. It already closed years ago in Hollywood and Japan. It’s time to go if they don’t plan a massive overhaul in show quality.
But the one horrible attraction that needs to go is Fast and Furious. It’s garbage adapted from the tram ride in Hollywood, where it got poor reviews, yet they still replicated it in Florida.
I'd rather see the jimmy fallon one got out first. honestly, having a talk show host doing some sort of race around new york is a really lame idea, and it's a lot of wasted space just for a few rows of stationary motion-simulation seats and a big screen.
every time I go to universal its like I stepped back into the past way like when my parents were born and its such an amazing feeling, im gonna miss it once they remove a lot of these rides but yk its also cool to see new stuff too so
They really need another thrill ride in the universal studios park, especially if Rip Ride gets ripped out. With the massive success of their last two big coasters in Islands, and the obvious focus on them in epic universe, I feel like they will bring a large themed coaster to the park and I’m liking the area you suggest near Men in Black. Now what will it be themed to…. 🤔

E.T. needs a major refurb too.
I just rode E.T. for the first time in yearssss and it was actually very endearing that there is still one thing left at the park from my childhood. Is it dated? Sure, but it was one of my favorite experiences of the day 😊

Amazing video man! Never been to the Florida theme parks, I’m from California, that being said, I really appreciate your takes on all this because Ron planning a trip down over there for epic universe and all the current universal parks as well. One thing if I might add just for sakes of debate, personally I think they will 100 percent keep Jurassic river ride but do like what they did here in California. I’m a current annual pass holder for the park over here, my kids love it and wife does too, both park and the new rendition of the Jurassic park ride. If they do that to your guys side of town, it would draw so many people just due to the fact that each time I go there is a massive wait time for it. It is the same ride but believe me when I say the differences are very ntociable and enjoyable. Cheers! Hope to see more content like this.
Jurassic World Land Replace Jurassic Park Land
Thank god, you know, i’ve seen some absolutely crazy takes on this subject that have Universal knocking half the damn parks down before decades end. Their thought process is just boiled down to “Old IP bad, replace now” with zero regard for like- anything else? Like how popular or well liked the rides are, what niche in terms of attraction they fill, how long they would take to replace, how much capacity would be lost with a closure, and if it even makes sense in the context of the space and park they occupy. This is the first one of these type of videos where i was basically nodding along the whole time. Your reasoning for each prediction made sense and felt realistic for the kinds of patterns we’ve seen thus far. Great work👍
In a perfect world Animal actors would've been replaced with the Woody Woodpecker animation celebration show in the 2000s..
I rode spider man for the first time a few weeks ago, I had no idea what it was or what the experience was like, I was completely shocked and blown away by how much fun it was. I didn't know the video was integrated that well, I didn't know the effects were that well done, and I didn't know the movement of the cart was so punchy and fast. one of the best rides I've ever been on.
If they do refurbish rip ride, I could see it having new tracks be added. The music aspect to it is neat but the vibes are blatantly 2000’s. So an update to the Theme would be neat.
I feel a bikini bittom revamp of the section with the toon lagoon attractions would do great and take the shops area and complete change that into something else and tearing out of the toon theatre for a new mini land aswelll so 3 mini lands out of toon lagoon
12:57 Mauer has similar rides to Rip Ride Rockit overseas and that POV is of a Mack Wild Mouse
Not really, they've only built one other coaster like HRRR in scale, that being Shock at MagicLand in Italy, and that was in 2011. The other ones, while similar, are on a MUCH smaller scale than either HRRR or Shock.
Looking at their RCDB page the only things that they've built since 2014 are either Spike coasters or Spinning coasters with one SkyLoop and Dragon Legend, which is a launched X-Car model. The other 4 that don't fit this (Project Zero, Venus GP, Marble Madness and Wilde Maus) are relocations.
At this point Mauer doesn't make coasters like that anymore. Looking at their website, they only show spinning coasters and Spike coasters, not anything like HRRR. If they still did, I suspect that at least one of them would have been built after 2014.
Japan also is refurbishing river adventure, i asked them why didnt say too much but once i showed them the hollywood ride they nodded in approval and gave me stickers they seemed excited about it, the flying dinosaur coaster was badass too. That or hollywood dream should replace ripride rock it.

Transformers is safe and I’m so happy because of that, I’m a big transformers enthusiast and collector, and I’m so happy that transformers still has like 10 years to go minimum.
River Adventure is awesome, despite it's age. I'd be pretty disappointed if they replaced with a similar Jurassic World themed ride, especially because I'm not a fan of those movies. Really hope the rumor of Springfield being replaced with a Pokemon land are true. I'm pretty apathetic towards the Simpsons, and The Simpsons Ride is just ok honestly. I'll miss Alien Attack, but yeah, it's not lasting much longer I feel.

@@RednekGamurz I mean everyone still knows men in black. It's an ip that's timeless. I disagree that it's condition is getting worse because they recently refurbished a bunch of stuff like the guns and most of the animatronics from what I've heard. I could actually tell that stuff was better the last time I rode it which was a couple months ago. I agree that it may be very difficult to get replacement parts but still, it's gone this far and stayed popular for this long so I don't see any reason for it to close for a very long time.
i want Fallon, fast and furious, simpsons to close
I've been saying Pokemon would be perfect for a theme park land. You could do a photo safari with animatronics for the main attraction.l, something slow and appealing to all ages. You could do so many producttie-inss based on pokemon iconography, like pokemon plushies in plastic balls, potion sodas, repel colognes, and more available at the pokemart. Restaurants would probably draw from several games and regions for food ideas, and i think they should implement the nfc technology like they did with Mario to make the park more interactive.
Sorry to drag on, but I've just been thinking about this for a WHILE, and im sure you can add to the pile of great tie-ins yourself.
Pikmin Theme Ride Replaces Men in Black Alien Attack Attraction Desighs Of S.S. Dolphin Glow Sap Fruity Drinks Stands
I believe that when Epic Universe opens, all theme parks (including Disney) will see a boost in attendance. But after Epic Universe has been open for 2-4 years, families will most visit the 4 Disney parks, Islands of Adventure, and Epic Universe because of limited vacation days. Because Universal Studios is so subpar compared to these other parks, Universal will then approve a huge overhaul of Universal Studios. This will put on hold the rumored Zelda land replacing The Lost Continent at Islands of Adventure and will most likely have multiple massive changes. This could include The Simsons turned into Pokémon, F&F Supercharged, Jimmy Fallon, and MIB. While just speculation, HW RipRide Rocket is probably about due for a retrack, so they might replace it as well. Anyway, if any of this actually happens, it won't be for 10-15 years from now until finished.

The past few times I’ve gone to Universal, I’ve ridden the Hulk MANY times in a row, but got a massive headache after only riding Rip Ride Rockit ONCE. I think over the past year and a half or so it’s really surpassed the Hulk in roughness. Idk maybe I’m just used to that B&M rattle that the Hulk has but not the specific rattle that RRR has. I personally think it’s RRR’s time to go soon, especially since I doubt Maurer makes parts for cheap since it’s practically one of a kind for their company
The funny thing with F&F: Supercharged is that it's gonna be closed temporarily sometime in August and remain closed throughout HHN. But, there's also rumors floating around that it may close down permanently. So will it reopen once HHN is over? Who knows.

Fun video thanks 😊
Regarding the Marvel license, while it is in perpetuity, a contract can always be broken. Any correctly created contract will have a break clause, and if Disney decides one day that they'd rather pay the break clause, they could do so. There's also likely stipulations in the contract that Universal must abide to, or else they could lose the contract. Perpetuity only means that so long as Universe follows the rules of the contract, they never have to worry about it expiring.
Edit: There was also leaks/rumors that after Disney's acquisition of Fox, and Disney seeking to use Marvel in their parks, an agreement was made that Universal can only use pre-MCU Marvel properties for their parks. With that in mind, Disney could always be lenient and approve any pre-MCU attractions in an attempt to retain the yearly licensing fees.
Read the contract, it is insane
As of the making of this video, Universal Japan's Jurassic Park. The ride is currently under an 18-month refurbishment to bring Attraction to the modern era. I could totally see that happening to the one in Florida
Maurer actually has made several intense Coasters such as Shock at Rainbowland. And several more.
That said. Rockit has a higher cycle count. Whichll shorten it's lifespan substancially
Also, I do not know what they are going to do with that former Blue Man Group/Nickelodeon Studios stage. There were some rumors where Nickelodeon could take back that space and revive it, but I do not know about that.
Personally, I think it's time for the building to come down. I don't really think any property would work with the building and it's layout.
@@Toonrick12 There's some value to having a stage for seasonal shows like Grinchmas and Halloween Horror Nights.
If those rumors were actually true, I’d want one of those things they’d build in relation to it to reference the show, it’s pony. People who saw that show will understand. _Although,_ the fact remains that Nickelodeon universe exists, elsewhere in the US.
It might. Nick hote is being rebuilt in Orlando in 2025
As someone who rode rip ride rocket back in May 2023, it is ROUGH. My brother and I got off with our heads in a lot of pain. It needs a refurb or to be torn down BADLY.
I agree Although I enjoyed the ride I had a terrible headache after I got off, I heard it is closing permanently in 2025
I was told by an employee who is working on epic that blue man group is being used as a meeting hall for epic, and they have discussed demolition after epic opens
I will never ever ever go back to Universal Orlando if they decide to get rid of Seuss Landing. Dr Seuss is my universal.
Edit: Too bad Attraction Ideas, it doesn’t sound like it is going. Fast and Furious and Kong Skull Island are both twice as outdated as the cat in the hat. I watched 1999 videos of the cat in the hat, it looked like it was built terribly but refurbished to be better.
That place is such a vibe after some of the more chaotic rides.
MIB is an amazing ride regardless of IP relevance and the minions equivalent is a joke, a joyless and effort lacking screen based ride just like fast & furious and Kong. They really should keep MIB
i just rode it the first time a few days ago on vacation, and I thought it was a very fun ride. the aspects of it being a game where you compete, and actually having the ability to send another car spinning makes it really fun by adding variety to every ride-through. I'd be okay with a refurbishment or a retheme, but I'd hate to see that ride go entirely.

After Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift, they can easily close Simpson's Ride because the new coaster would more than make up for capacity in the meantime (although food and bev would be not so great, but hey do what they did when they did the Springfield facades to cover that) and have that ready for 2027, then close Simpson's in Orlando at the end of 2028, then Men in Black and possibly Animal Actors after that. Cat in the Hat and Jurrasic Park could be down in an in between time so it closes before Simpson's replacement (lets say Pokemon) is done, but opens before MIB/Fear Factor/Animal Actors replacement so there's a reason to bring guests to the resort before that, Zelda, and Luigi's Mansion (if that's what's after the Great Hall addition to Wizarding Paris)

I love marvel island at IOA. It's more based on the comics than the movies, so it has a completely different feel to the Disney marvel stuff.
I rode rip ride 3 times within around 10 minutes back in late 2020 summer (covid wait time) and by the time i went home i had a severe headache that i could feel the beginning of after riding RRR.
I have a theory for Universal Studios Florida expansion which might sound crazy at first, but hear me out.
The footprint for Hollywood Rip Ride Rock it is extremely small but I also think a new rollercoaster in that area would be very limited. BUT if you put the rip ride Rockit and the concert stage together, you would have enough space for a new attraction. Imagine if New York got expanded across from Jimmy Fallon and the Secret Life of Pets ride from Hollywood gets built right across the street from Minion’s cafe. I think both the concert hall and rip ride rocket would provide the space. It would also help that whole area have a bit more flow to it.
Now what about the concert hall I hear you say? After all that is extremely important for multiple annual events. I think they could build a new and improved hall right in the corner between Men in Black and fear factor. With enough space left over you could put a rollar coaster that would go over both sides of the hall to add to the whole park energy.
This will be a massive change but I could see them go for it. 1. The new hall will be In the back of the park and help distribute the crowds. 2. Now all the concert crowds will have to pass practically EVERY store on their way out and that could increase revenue. 3. The parade path and concert area would no longer compete for space. 4. A Rollercoaster of significant size would draw in people towards the back of the park too. 5. They would have alot more space to make an exciting rollercoaster then using the already available space. 6. They don’t have to mess with the old blue men theater as that’s one of the best options for the Christmas and you could do holloween events as well.
This would be extremely costing and take time, but I think it would help the park over all greatly.
Those Hulk concussions are no joke lol
The men in black ride is definitely one of my favorite rides there. Maybe the IP isn’t popular anymore but the ride is fun, it’s the buzz lightyear ride from Magic Kingdom but cranked up

Rode rip ride last week and yes it’s way to rough now! Almost ruined my day man! Had a crazy headache
FYI. It's "Champing at the bit." not "Chomping". BUT I love this post!
Rip Ride Rockit definitely needs SOMETHING, i rode it multiple times in the past year and every time i did, i got major neck pains afterwards
Big prediction time for each park
Race through New York will close in this decade and Secret Life of Pets: Off the Leash will replace it as its obviously set in New York and so is Secret Life if Pets and Minion Land is right down the path making a sort of Illumination strip
Cat and the Hat will be demolished and be rebuilt completely with new modern technology but stay the same story and theme and right beside it Mt. Krumpit Sleigh Ride a Intamin Mine Train will open as a family style coaster themed to the Grinch of course
Nah, Ghostbusters will replace it. Nobody likes Pets.
@happymaskedguy1943 ok hear me out Ghostbusters obviously has a older audience, so what if they replaced Rip Ride Rockit with an intense Ghostbusters themed coaster, and let the little kids have Pets it would be a win win scenario

Personally I would like to see a anime theme like one peace for the toon lagoon area since that show is based on the water and the world of one piece is also very cool
When I went on Jurassic park in Orlando years ago I gotta say the ride has shown it’s age especially with the animotronics moving slowly. And for rip saw falls I remember the interior had like a musty smell of dirty shoes . I feel like islands of adventure needs a major overhaul of its rides.
Jurassic World Land Replace Jurassic Park Land
Imagine a cat in the hat rise of the resistance style tech upgrade. Suddenly becomes their showcase for innovation overnight.
Honestly imo its gonna be either Fear Factor, Animal Actors or Lost Continent with possibly MIB close behind. While I think Lost Continent and Fear Factor may be a spot to put another Nintendo property there with possibly Animal Actors and MIB could be the other spot where a new area could go. If they do squeeze a new land near MIB and Animal Actors I think Pokemon like the rumors said would be a good spot, maybe they'll retheme MIB ride to be a dark ride through a haunted mansion filled with Ghost Pokemon! Makes me kinda miss the original Pokepark in Japan I've seen photos of.

My thought is Universal will be waiting until the right moment to either bulldoze through the backstage area of the NY land or F&F Supercharged and open up that large unused backstage area (that moved to Epic). They’ll build a tunnel underneath the Hogwarts Express that’ll hide it from our view and have us enter a whole new immersive land. This depends entirely on how much of that backstage area they’ll have to use, but it could be massive. And for those wondering about HHN and the soundstages, they could build brand new homes for those houses here or just tear down a few and keep what soundstages they need.

Animal Actors has a very beautiful stonework stage. If I was in charge, I'd close the attraction but keep the stonework and waterfall for a cool new Legends of the Hidden Temple show.

I would love for Toon Lagoon to be rethemed to SpongeBob like a Bikini Bottom theme with the rapids being Mrs Puff themed and the log ride being the gang going after Plankton and being launched to the surface for the drop then back in the city , the IP has been there for 20 years for only a meet and greet and a shop. He deserves so much more
Pikmin Replace Men in Black Alien Attack
Bikini bottom makes sense, the issue I see is that there are sooo many SpongeBob attractions around the world. There is no telling what the conditions of those contracts allow or don't allow.
Speaking of Ms. Puff, I suggested elsewhere of doing a boat ride that goes out into the lagoon. Imagine guests and little kids taking control of a motorized little boat and going through a well-themed course that goes out into the lagoon.

Not when the executives decided that they’re not going to pay the licensing for anything that isn’t Harry Potter nor transformers for the rides that they _do_ have. If it was the case otherwise, to me in my opinion, toon lagoon should be rethemed to applicable shows from Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon, two of them being regular show and it’s pony.

Being that pet stars, Simpsons, MIB, and fear or factor are all lined up it’ll be so strange when they’re all gone.
I think they should get rid of Men in Black and bring in a Ghostbusters ride. They can add a Miraculous Ladybug attraction as well. Pokémon, Ghostbusters, and Miraculous would take over.

Universal will eventually want to get rid of the Spiderman ride or add some kind of new attraction to the marvel area - it wouldn't surprise me if they struck up a deal with Disney at some point to remove spiderman or a different hero from the area to put in a new attraction, but in return Disney get to put that removed hero in their own park
For Toon Lagoon, make it into Nicktoon Lagoon. Heck you could even make the water green like they do in Chicago for St Patrick's to go with the whole slime shtick.
That would look god awful.
6:49 either pokemon or kirby because both have potential but kirby could fill in for the more foodie centered Simpsons
Kirby is not popular enough for a whole land unfortunately
I can’t see universal removing MIB for some time, it’s often a walk on because it can move a large volume of riders, and it’s still a very fun, engaging ride for all ages. Removing all those physical props would be a massive expense too. If anything’s on the chopping block, it’s unpopular screen only rides like like fast and furious and simpsons
Replace by Pikmin
13:16 My head and my spine were killing me all day after Rip Ride Rockit. This thing is very rough, or maybe it is because I'm 36.
Nah it’s rough. Same with Hulk. Both gave me serious headaches.
I'm 26 and I found it was the most unpleasant ride in all universal orlando resort.
They were selling tons of men in black merch a month ago
even though it would be a weird choice, I still think the Fast and furious super charged ride could utilize the set pieces and make a walking dead walk through or dark ride,
I always liked the idea of it remaining Jurassic Park and UO would just keep the land updated and add new attractions. If they overhaul JP to JW, there will be no more Jurassic Parks :(.
Let’s not forget, the original idea for this Jurassic Park land was that it was “Jurassic Park - Isla Adventura” because Hammond wanted to rebuild on a new island.
So yeah, Velocicoaster is awesome, but it did divide the whole land. Breaking the Jurassic Park immersion.
Although I agree it’s time to make it all Jurassic World, I will miss that it had its own identity at IOA.
Japan and Singapore still have Jurassic parks.

A relative of mine works at Cat in The Hat. She has confirmed to me that the ride is in HORRIBLE shape. Every time there’s a hurricane there’s always a worry that it won’t survive like a few years ago when there was a big hole in the ceiling
