Hm.
This makes me happy.
I wanted the dark ride so... bad.

They use that plot for storage--ride vehicles, props, and set elements are often built there or repaired. The plot always seems pretty full of items and definitely not useless. Remember just because there's not a ride somewhere doesn't mean one can fit.
It's a lot easier to move those to another area. The Thunder Falls plot was always pinned as an expansion plot, not a maintenance area.
Let's just hope that the coaster is not another 66 second Vekoma coaster and is something a little more solid. Like Big Thunder. The space is definitely there in several areas. Discovery Center needs work and upgraded. Perhaps they can make the food better at Burger Digs. JPRA needs some upkeep and even a little adjustment in the actual show building. I welcome Camp Jurassic improvements. At almost 20 years old, I still like to hang around in Camp Jurassic. The cave could use some air fresheners, for sure. I would love if Camp got some indoor areas as well.
The dark ride will be mourned again, but then again we don't know if we were going to get something good or 'meh.' I trust Universal's judgement call and hopefully they use the cut budget to bulldoze Toon Lagoon someday!
Just don't touch the Popeye ride.
or dont touch all of Toon Lagoon! lol Dudley is not just a great water ride..its a great RIDE!
I Know Toon Lagoon is my favorite section in the park now. I wouldn't be upset with a few changes or take aways for JP expansion just rather have Dudley go before Popeye! Popeye is my cool off point in the summer lol!
