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

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
@@MickeyMouse-lw9hg what if he dies though
Don’t worry, I am sure ET is getting refurbished
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.
I just went a few days ago! Am i crazy. Swear it a was a mess in 2020.

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

Toon lagoon should stay as is, especially ripsaw falls, even when the park opened these characters were out of date by a lot, I believe it was intentional to add comic strips from past times to give a feel of nostalgia and history with a little fun.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 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.

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.
This channel is so underrated! Principal consultant-level analysis and with high quality editing; you deserve 100k subscribers already
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!!
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.
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.
Cat in the Hat needs work but it isnt that bad 😭
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.
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…. 🤔
Pikmin
@@brennacollins6000 is that a joke? I haven’t heard of it so I doubt it’s popular enough for a theme park ride

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.
Seriously the Barney attraction stook around way longer than it deserve. Because despite the show cancelling back 2010 the park's attraction stayed up and running for more than a decade after that. And no kid today watches barney!
The Simpsons Ride PLEASE…
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 😊
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
Can we get an AI update to the ET, who shouts ya name out at the end 🙏🏼
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.

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.
I heard that Spielberg was upset for the removal of ET from other universal park I really do hope it stays
In a perfect world Animal actors would've been replaced with the Woody Woodpecker animation celebration show in the 2000s..
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👍
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.
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

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
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.

Good Job. Just subscribed.
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.
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
Men in Black is one of my favorite rides there..
Pikmin
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.

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
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.
Over here in Hollywood I think the retheme of Jurassic Park to Jurassic World has made a considerable difference. JP had about 15-20 minute wait in average days while JW has 30-60 minute waits on average. It’s reputation has also exceeded JP it’s become a fan favorite again since the update.

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.
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 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 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.
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'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.

You have to do a ranking on each ride for these parks
I could see the Hollywood version of Springfield closing first because that's only one ride and its at a prime junction where you either go to the tram tour or lower lot-as well as being much smaller. 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 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
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
Mystic River Falls at Silver Dollar City is an S tier raft ride
Fun video thanks 😊
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 don't agree that Universal automatically wants to replace an attraction at the 20-25 year mark. The company has really evolved and now they have raised their standards for lands and attractions. First in 2010 they revolutionized the future of themed areas with The Wizarding World, then they raised the bar for rides with Hagrid's and Velocicoaster. I think they are actively trying to raise the rest of the areas of the parks to the new standards, and this will be a gradual process until all of the rides and areas are up to par. Naturally they will strategize to keep people coming back and to introduce popular IPs at the same time. I love the work they have been doing and I cannot wait to see what they build!
All I want from Seuss Landing is for those little hard candies printed with fruits to come back… literally nowhere else seems to have those candies tasting as good as Seuss Landing did. 😭
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
Even though the cartoons are out of date, the esthetic of Toon Lagoon is beautiful.

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.

Should update Fast & the Furious into a Fast Track like ride but maybe a street racing version.
Look up Jurassic World the ride in China. Supposed to be the best one.
They should remake that one in Orlando.

Those Hulk concussions are no joke lol
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.
Men in Black Replace With Pikmin
@@brennacollins6000 Jurassic Park: Land Raplace with Jurassic World: Land
Regarding Jurassic Park River Adventure... the reason they could retheme JP:TR into JW:TR, is because it was just the attraction.
Jurassic Park River Adventure is in an area of the park called... JURASSIC PARK. The Whole LAND would have to go retheming if the headliner did. The Discovery Center (based on the original Visitor Center) would probably have to be redesigned to resemble the Innovation Center of JW, the Iconic Gate between Hogsmeade and JP would need a retheme to Jurassic World. The architecture would need to be more modern as opposed to the tropical safari aesthetic
Is it possible? Yes it is, but is Universal willing to make the investment and essentially bottleneck the park since Islands of Adventure is a giant loop, you segment off Jurassic Park, the whole park is now a horseshoe and foot traffic in and out of the wizarding world would be a nightmare.
So in the same vein as Popeye and Dudley Do-Right, removing the IPs would warrant a change to the whole land, and I don't think Universal is willing to take the hit there just yet. Maybe when Epic Universe is open, possibly. But the ride, either as JPRA or JWTR, it's not going anywhere.
Jurassic World: River Rescue Replace Jurassic Park: River Adventure
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
I like both Fast and Furious and Jimmy Fallon, don't want to see them closed. I like those types of rides since I'm not a big coaster fan. I also lova water rides so i hope that Toon land doesn't get shut down either
Let’s just say some things you’re right on about….Lost Continent is the only major focus in IOA after Epic Universe opens…
Studios is going to get some serious work after Epic Universe opens. Like serious. Yes, Pokémon is replacing Simpsons, but Universal knows that Fast and Furious and Rip Ride Rockit are dumpster fires….and there are plans to replace and remove those attractions. I’m not so sure about Jimmy Fallon going anywhere anytime soon.
Keep an eye on Animal Actors and Fear Factor as well.

Rode rip ride last week and yes it’s way to rough now! Almost ruined my day man! Had a crazy headache
Simpson and toon lagoon
I'm honestly still salty that Poseidon's Fury closed but Fast and Furious is still open. Yeah PF was cheesy and old school, but it was a fun experience!
They just released a new movie poster for another ET 2 movie coming out soon
Yes
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
I'd make the argument that Infinity Falls over at Seaworld is a better raft ride than Popeye. You can sometimes dodge all but a few waterdrops on the former, but the elevator and slide at the end are great. Where as Popeye, there's no escaping the waterfalls.
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
I could see the men in black headquarters actually being built since they had the space to do that. And they’re already don’t through with the plans and closing fast and the furious because it’s not really fast and the furious. California has a fast and furious roller coaster, which makes more sense! If epic universe were to open, they should at least have that in their own park.
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

Your saying the roller coasters with mummy and Hulk with the the renovation and spider man doesn’t count?
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.

Kongfrontation, jaws, and back to the future is sorely missed
Fallon is a lot more fun than it has any business being. I avoided it for several years before finally giving it a shot and I was very pleasantly surprised. It’s not my favorite by any means, but it’s a charming little experience for the whole family.
Fast & Furious is garbage and it needs to GO.
Nuff said.
Minions Blast is pretty pathetic. It’s a people mover with a cool toy gun in your hands. What a letdown that thing turned out to be. Really makes you miss Shrek 4D which I personally liked very much.
I wish they’d put 4K screens in Simpsons. I’ve always loved the mind bending sensations you got in there but things are looking pretty dingy on that screen lately.
Same goes for Forbidden Journey at Hogwarts. They need to upgrade the screens in there as well. I ride that one as often as I can and it’s starting to show its age.
Has the makeover at Hulk made it less physically painful? I stopped riding that thing after a while because it would literally ruin my day after one ride. The cockpit needed a better headrest because it would bounce your skull around at high speeds. I’ve never been back on and I’m curious if they’ve nerfed that a little.
Rip Ride Rocket was very uncomfortable the last couple times we rode it. I wish it wasn’t so painful to ride. I rode Batman The Ride at Six Flags a few summers back and that thing was the SMOOTHEST coaster I’ve ever ridden. I wish all coasters could be that smooth.
I legit just this past couple days had this video topic come to mind and wondered when ya would make a vid on it. Once again my gut foresense was right. Anyways I agree 100% with the predictions conclusion. With epic universe being planned for opening in 2025 my family will probably be going down there for vk like many others. During that time I hope to be able to go on the men in black ride cause for some reason I haven't done so. After I get my experience they can gut it. I never got into the simpsons at all so tbh I wish they gut it sooner than later. Replacing it with pokemon opens a much bigger audience and definitely a better experience overall.
