State of USH - What's Next?

I don't think there's ever been a Pride night at Universal. You might be barking up the wrong tree, as it's Didney who's been doing the pride nights; Universal just sells pride merch AFAIK.

2024 Pride is Universal @Universal Studios Hollywood – LA Pride

No, they've had Pride events... I vividly remember one happening inside the Old Globe. However, I do believe even when they did, it was an outside group just using the venue, not actually put on by Universal itself. Very similar to how SFMM has "Out on the Mountain".

Not sure about this year, though, I haven't really looked into it.

Universal to Build New Soundstage Complex, Expand Theme Park in 5-Year Plan (EXCLUSIVE)

The studio is embarking on a plan to remake its lot.

Important to bring up past elements--and the importance of these remaining stages. While their intended purpose now seems to be a wash, it's going to allow them to have the park take over the space of the current Soundstage cluster; allowing the park to promimently expand by a larger amount.

Speculating a small bit, but I think the plan might be to include the old Mill and the old sound building next to the soundstage cluster of 16-24, to push the main road closer out to the LA River. Allowing the park to expand further in the process.

Hello all, hopefully this is allowed here.
With the Simpsons contract inevitably ending, it got me thinking what are some IPs that could replace it and attract a similar fan base. My mind went to Rick and Morty so I drafted up a little what-if announcement just for fun. Wondering if anyone else has any other thoughts.

Without further ado...

Get ready to portal-jump into chaos-Rick and Morty: Multiversal Mayhem is officially materializing at Universal Studios Hollywood in Spring 2027! Prepare for a brain-melting, interdimensional adventure like nothing you've ever experienced.

What's the Ride About?

You're just another tourist visiting Rick's garage (because apparently he's charging $29.99 for "Multiverse Tours") when everything goes horribly wrong-because of course it does.

Rick's portal gun malfunctions mid-tour, scattering guests across rogue timelines, collapsing dimensions, and alternate versions of Earth (including one where everyone is made of corn). With Morty begging for his life and Rick laughing maniacally, you must survive a high-octane escape through the most absurd corners of the Rick and Morty multiverse.

Ride Details:

Vehicles shaped like Rick's space pod, fitting 6 riders per pod.

Each pod moves, spinning and weaving between enormous projection domes, 4D physical sets, practical effects (smoke, fog, slime), and Al-generated alternate Rick & Morty dialogue for ride repeatability.

See you in Spring 2027, if you survive the multiverse.

While waiting in the queue, guests pass through Rick's garage, filled with sci-fi gadgets, animatronics, and live displays showing "Multiverse Traffic Conditions.

While there seems to be no solid rumors for what will replace USH's Simpsons ride, I would guess maybe something Wicked if Universal wants to get in every park they can.

For USF there is a more solid belief Pokemon will replace Simpsons there.

Pardon my ignorance, but are the old mill and sound building those two structures to the left of basecamp kitchen?

Yup.

They are building a new mill over in the area near Earthquake, and they had new sound facilities installed I believe as part of the Creative Campus. Feel like they might be priming to take up that space as part of a rezoning effort (*though I can be wrong and can be a idiot*).
