They failed to get Bond for the stunt show, it's not happening as a Shrek replacement.I would like to see James Bond ending up here replacing Shrek or would it be better to replace it with another Dreamworks property?

Are the minions villain con dark ride plans still in development?

The primary reason the T2 replacement was delayed so long was trying to get Bond.And yet Universal is now the international distributor of the James Bond franchise. Just bad timing on the parks' part. Had they begun brainstorming the project a year later than they did, they probably would have been able to get the theme park rights from EON Productions since the two companies would have had a partnership (along with MGM) by that point.

They didn’t do anything with the new attraction for 8 months after T2 closed."Delayed" in what sense? Delayed before even starting (i.e. while T2 was still open)?

Yes, that lines up with what Disneyhead was saying back then.The primary reason the T2 replacement was delayed so long was trying to get Bond.

A Bourne stunt show is going in right next to Shrek, so 0% chance.Any chances of waterworld show Florida version style coming to replace shrek if it doesn’t end up in the fourth gate?
Yeah I think universal should turn shrek into the minions dark ride and put slop in kidzone with pokemon and maybe trolls.That's a good question. I was one of the few who seemingly really liked the idea (though, in fairness, I like anything that involves a dark ride going into that space).

Whatever Universal does it will definitely be better than whats there now.I would be completely in favor of such things happening.
Pokemon is waaaaaaay too big of a franchise to share a land with other IPs. (COUGH 'Pokemon' Is The Highest-Grossing Franchise Of All-Time COUGH)Yeah I think universal should turn shrek into the minions dark ride and put slop in kidzone with pokemon and maybe trolls.
Could it be HHN? Shrek is always used for a house and it seems like it would be hard (and inevitable) that Universal would have to give up Shrek's HHN spot for either a year or two (for construction) or forever.Supposedly Shrek was supposed to disappear from USF about a year ago, and then "something terrible happened", namely Universal changed their mind for some reason or other.
Universal could pull a Pixar Place (like DHS, not California's Pixar Pier) and do a soft reboot of the entrance plaza. Illumination doesn't have a strong architecture like Pixar does, but anything would be more cohesive than what they have.I certainly wouldn't mind Shrek getting turned into SLOP or the VillanCon dark ride. I know it's been pointed out before, but either of those replacing Shrek would turn the front-area into a full-on Illumination Area, which would be kinda neat.
I don't believe a HHN house was a contributing factor. I think that was already discounted.Could it be HHN?
