Replace supercharged with anything. Addition by subtraction.
Heck, they could put in a waterfall with a couple trees and make it a walk-through and that would be better.

I think it has to be only a matter of time until SLOP comes to Orlando. It's just too easy!Now that the VelociCoaster has arrived, this is currently what I'd address between now and the opening of Epic Universe in (we assume) 2025.
- Add the Creature from the Black Lagoon boat ride to EU's opening day lineup.
- Build the Secret Life of Pets ride in USF on Shrek's plot with an aggressive, Transformers-style construction schedule. (Fall 2022)
- Reclaim some space from the Blue Man Group theater for park use, and either install a version of the Lights, Camera, Action! show from Singapore OR create a slightly grander Universal Legacy Store, purpose-built to showcase the resort's history. Sort of a One Man's Dream: Universal Edition that also doubles as a store. If Universal still has some of the larger elements (interactive and otherwise) from the Hitchcock post-show or the old Kongfrontation photo op stored away somewhere, just as examples, this would be a perfect place for them. (Summer 2023)
- New live show of fairly large, epic scale in the Sindbad, Toon Lagoon, or Fear Factor theaters. (Summer 2024)
- Throughout these four years, rotate through existing rides that could use some love (particularly E.T. and River Adventure) and give them healthy refurbishments. Introduce a new finale for Horror Makeup somewhere in here, too.
I tried to keep those ideas reasonable; it would have been easy to say things like "demolish F&F" or "rebuild Jaws in KidZone," and I would genuinely like those things, but there's no way they'd realistically happen. And adding one new ride plus a show or two over a four year period doesn't sound financially out-of-bounds, either.
I'd also like to have whatever is going to replace KidZone ready to open for Fall 2026.
Conceptually, it would be a “thesis” attraction for the Studios. I imagine it has a higher energy “Great Movie Ride” that combines the RV kinetics of Men in Black with mixed practical/film sets of SLoP. Story-wise, it’s literally an adventure into Universal movies along the lines of CineMagique from Disneyland Paris.May I be so curious as to ask what Cine-Mayhem is?

I think that was the idea they were going with. We don’t know if it was a desire to go “bigger” or simply “more immersive” though.Wasn't that the concept for the original monster ride but Universal wanted to go bigger?

I think that was mostly for Germany. Also I think a Universal park in the UK would be possible now, since the country has left the European Union (aka Brexit).They did try to make it happen a long while back:
