Maybe move animal actors to the old fear factor location? Idk
No because that'd kill off another show venue the park is in desperate need of.

At least Animal Actors exists, unlike the two dormant venues in IOA *sigh*

At this rate, just renovate FFL & bring back the old Wild Wild Wild (Wild Wild) West stunt show. Retro is in.
 
Seems like this is gonna be a fun little land. I kinda wish they would bulldoze animal actors and add a small little dark ride to compliment this land. Maybe in the future…
Previous rumors have stated that if the DW land did get a phase 2 dark ride, it would more likely be towards the back of the land. Plus there is the possibility Universal wants to use AA for that rumored Pokemon land whether it would be part of it day one or for a phase 2.

Universal should invest in some more permanent theatre locations in USF and filling the empty ones in both parks.

Zelda stunt show for Sinbad, Spongebob live show in Toon Lagoon, Pokemon Lab faux-educational puppet show in current Springfield, Ghostbusters/Beetlejuice Returns show somewhere in Studios, + HMUS and Bourne is a solid lineup for the current parks, I think.

I think Animal Actors is a little long in the tooth, and it's location leaves it feeling a bit strange especially during seasonal events. I think until they are ready to begin building a potential Pokemon show, the theatre and show should stay operating.

I haven't seen anyone mention this - but is the Pinocchio in Shrek's Swamp an animatronic or puppet? I'm curious if will actually be interactive like the Mystic Fountain or Shrunken Head.

I assume shrek’s home isn’t the only environment brought to life in the dreamworks show,, do we think it’ll be the IPs with lands or are we getting some boss baby headquarters or something
 
Dark Ride fits better at the ol' parade building, would provide a "weenie" and push people back there.

I like Animal Actors... but it's not a major draw anymore and a new indoor theater would be my preferred choice there.
Animal Actors doesn’t need to be new. It still fills heavily every show and from someone I know that works there, they just won a contest between the shows in the park for the highest guests per show in the park for the first three months of the year. People really enjoy it.

Highest guest satisfaction or number of guests? Not saying your wrong, but I haven't seen an AA show filled to the brim in years. Bourne tends to always run a near capacity crowd, but AA barely fills 1/4 of the seats.

The way I read it it sounded a bit weasel-ish tbh but I think it was technically more guests overall, but Borne does less shows if I’m correct.
 
AA typically runs 4-5 shows, Bourne runs about 7-8 a day.
I’d have to check again on what the actual thing was as I can’t speak for it myself without just making crap up. But I will note I saw proof of the achievement in question.

Regardless (because we’re sorting just in a semantics thing now), is AA a prime plot if you want another ride? Yes. But the show does add a lot of value for people who can’t handle the rides, aren’t tall enough for most, or just want to get out of the sun. To just keep taking shows away is the wrong way to go unless there’s a replacement somewhere.

I am in agreement with you, my ideal/Blue-Sky replacement here is another show (but new theater converted indoors).

I just think the current show concept isn't as popular as some of the other stage shows provided in Orlando that draw far more guests.
 
It's just a sign and I shouldn't care but I don't like this at all.
If you make a structure that looks like wood is tied together you should make a sign that is also made out of natural materials like brenches and stuff, not something that is printed and cut out.

I’m not really fan of it either and thought they would do a little more. It looks very awkward and off center for some reason.
