I can easily see the Toon Lagoon area being slowly rethemed yet keeping its name. The fact that it's already a jumbled group of IPs make the transition much easier. You can just replace one IP at a time.
Minion water ride would be cool. What other huge Illumination films could be used though?
Skull Island is the 8th Island technically...
this has been mentioned in the previous pages of this topic. It's a dumb reason to keep away good ideas and attractions. Really puts limits on imagination.While I'm excited about King Kong, I'm disappointed that it breaks the literature theme of IOA. Weren't all of the islands in some form print before becoming a movie or television show?

That and the general park goer doesn't even know this fact. So why stick to something that no one knows about.

This irritates the hell out of me.
I feel like they have no flow to their lands anymore and nobody will tell me different. But too late. I just try to enjoy everything without thinking too much about it
That is silly. Their old identity was at one time as non-competitive theme parks. I am fine with them losing that distinction.
They have severe space constraints. Disneyland suffers from the same thing where it's one attraction on top of another. I am happy that there will now be a little less dead space between Marvel and Kong.
No Skip, it is literally [HASHTAG]#TheWorst[/HASHTAG] :skyfall:And I'd still argue Comic Book City -> Cartoon City -> Cartoon Land is a pretty dang good flow.
A lot of people are just assuming that they'll rip out the old Toon Lagoon rides when the retheme happens. What if they just get rethemed too?
I wouldn't mind Dudley getting the full axe, but Popeye's would be a damn shame. It's such a great rapids ride. I know Universal was flirting with Smurfs, which is Sony Pictures Animation. If they could scoop up "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs", that would make for a hilarious and awesome rapids ride. SPA also comes with Hotel Tranyslvania, which lends itself to a dark ride much like SLoP, so I'm not sure what they can do with that, but it's something.
Either way one of the two needs to stay, and rapids would make the most sense regarding its awkward "on the lagoon" location. Plus even though it's a problem having all the water rides back there, it would be pretty foolish for Universal to scrap both and leave JPRA as the only soaker in the resort. I know Volcano Bay will exist by then, but of course people wouldn't hop back and forth... or well, they shouldn't.
