I did notice the other day that a lot of the speech bubbles around the land have been completely removed.

Did that leave you or the characters speechless?
Ripsaw Falls are always better in getting you wet, but I think Popeye-Bluto Ride in my experience takes the cake.
I'm fine with Toon Lagoon staying as long as Dudley's gets new trains (logs?). The current ones suck.

How’m I supposed to know to not eat the mushroom pizza (where do I get that?) before riding Ripsaw Falls?

not to mention the aesthetics of that place are really big on instagram.

Everytime I see this thread light up, I just have to pop in and be the guy to see that I would be heartbroken if TL went away.
Like others have said, when it happens, they really just need to reskin the rides and keep them as is.

I know this isn’t likely what’d they do as this theatre is probably gone whenever TL goes but.......
I understand they make $$$ of the cheerleading comps, but wouldn’t they hypothetically make more if this was a massive sitdown restaurant? I feel this side of IOA needs a proper sitdown. I know demo and new build ruin this idea cause of cost but, as a hypothetical it’s in a great spot to make a scenic restaurant design.

Ideally, I'd have MSHI expanded out to that area with something new. I'd actually go for a whole modern redesign of MSHI.
For a sit down restaurant, I'd go high end and stick a Winston's Steakhouse in Jurassic Park/World if they ever feel the need to upgrade JPRA and finish updating the area.
Winston’s Steakhouse – Isla Nublar (S/F) – Jurassic-Pedia

As for Toon Lagoon, I don't know what I'd do. I think the whole area needs redone.
Popeye's is the greatest version of a river rapids ride and I'd be sad to see it go. Dudley's is in bad shape theming wise but the barebones of the ride is fantastic.

Agreed it should go to Marvel, a Marvel stunt show with Bourne Tech to me writes itself.
Might as well keep things going. Turn Toon Lagoon into LOTR.

I’ve felt that way for a long time!
Gosh imagine, IOA could one day be.....
Marvel, Seuss, LOTR, Zelda, Jurassic, and Potter.
I mean WOW.

As much as I love LOTR, Uni might be best off using a property of its own if TL ever got rethemed or replaced.

Waiting for something to finally be done with that theater. Hell, they could probably fit a whole new land there if they wanted to.

Whatever it is, it ought to be indoors. Too many of Islands’ rides are either outdoors or include outdoor segments. Gotta have another people-eater in there somewhere.

I would really rather they not. Though evergreen, the Looney Tunes sit in this weird spot between “niche” and “relevant”; I think you’d have a hard time convincing R&D that they’d last a long time without people asking, “why are these characters here?”
Dudley Do-Right doesn’t need to be relevant because people are just happy to have a flume ride, and Popeye will live forever, basically; he’s the IP version of a genericized trademark, like Kleenex or Band-Aid.
I’ve said this before, but if you wanna revamp Toon Lagoon, my advice would be Cuphead (a character for which Hearst currently has the entertainment rights), the Defenders of the Earth (The Phantom, Mandrake the Magician, and Flash Gordon), or both. The latter three are severely underused in that land, and the other could be Colbert-bumped by the addition of a theme park attraction.
