Additionally, TWDC isn't going to let one of the biggest things that was presented in the Fox acquisition to easily keel over and die. If anything, the contract that Universal has in-place with Disney/Fox on The Simpsons will remain as it is, and will just lapse once it ends in 2027/2028, depending on whenever it was originally finalized.

I wonder what the future holds for the Simpsons area after Universal's contract with Fox expires in 2027/2028. I'm probably sure that Universal would make such a large acquisition on some other appealing company sometime in the 2020s in order to compete better in the changing market.
I think they have plenty to replace it with.I wonder what the future holds for the Simpsons area after Universal's contract with Fox expires in 2027/2028.

Not just that but the ride would be 20 years old by then (nearly 40 if you count Back to the Future), the show itself would be 40 years old, new ownership of the property in Disney....nothing about any of this makes it seem like it would be around after the contract end date.
I think they have plenty to replace it with.
And to be honest, I feel they will reconfigure Kidzone and the Simpsons area into something huge that can fit two lands.
It's no secret Matt Groening has little love for the Disney Company. My guess is that when the contract ends the show ends. Groening has the rights of the characters so Disney can't produce new episodes on their own. I thought I read somewhere the theme park rights also lay with Groening but I'm not sure.
In the end it doesn't matter because Universal want to use it's own extensive ip catalog so after the contract ends they will have something else lined up to replace it. Together with kids lands I could see a mayor park make over in the future.
I typically don't even go on the ride, just hang and drink and eat in the area. Only went on it last trip cause the boyfriend had never done it. The dining area will be severely missed imo.The actual simpsons ride is dated and won’t be missed. The Simpson’s food court and land is another story. It’s one of my favorite areas of universal.

Simpson’s can easily be replaced with a Dreamworks property.
Kung Fu Panda would be awesomenessthere isn’t a single dreamworks property as well loved or known as the Simpsons though...
