No comment.I will very much miss PF, as it was criminally underrated by GP and fans alike. It actually beats Forbidden Journey in my IOA attraction rankings at this point (tied with Hagrid's).

Probably because Uni’s non IP attractions have mostly stunk while Disney’s are long beloved classicsOnce again, I'd like to point out the double standard...no one's outraged that Uni is closing its last original attraction for something IP.
Space Fantasy is good.Probably because Uni’s non IP attractions have mostly stunk while Disney’s are long beloved classics
The queue is truly wonderful and the ride system is a fantastic achievement. But the plot...No comment.
Universal always positioned itself as an IP heavy showcase. IOA was the one that broke the mold with LCOnce again, I'd like to point out the double standard...no one's outraged that Uni is closing its last original attraction for something IP.

Is anything actually planned for replacement? They love having the Sinbad area as a holding queue for Hagrid's.

Yes, people are looking way too much into the refurbI don't think anyone should be surprised by this. Maybe by how out of nowhere it was, but PF has been on borrowed time for a long time
Well, the entire center of their massive new theme park will be original with two original rides and a ton of original restaurants lolI hate to say it, but it was probably the best thing to do in the long run. Joe Q. Public would never gravitate towards an original attraction built today.
I’m sure it is. But it’s also a ride that 99.9999% of the people on this forum will never experience.Space Fantasy is good.
Eh, I dunno. If they thought they were going to close it 12 months after it reopened I don’t think they’d bother refurbing it and keeping it open that time. It’s not like they needed it open until a ride was done to replace its capacity.Yes, people are looking way too much into the refurb
At work, we recently replaced the roof and A/C units on a building we plan to demo within the year
Why? Because it was critical to it being a functional building for the last 12 months of ops
It’s also overlayed for much of the year with an IP.Space Fantasy is good.
Lost Continent WAS an amazing land when it was Merlin Woods and the remaining half. It's still beautifully themed. But, losing Merlin Woods kept the parks afloat and none of what's happening now with EU would have been possible without sacrificing it.
This thread has been open for 14 years. We've been questioning when this land would bite the dust for over half of the park's existence. This thread has even been open for 5 years longer than the OG Kidzone thread (may it rest in piece). Poseidon's Fury is gorgeous and the original Lost Continent was cool af, but it's time lmao.
And thus ends one of the great theme park mysteries of all time - why did they nerf the “whoa” ending of the original version.
I'm all for Zelda replacing Lost Continent but I do think it would be nice to see post-Potter Universal try another original land. I know we're getting the hub at Epic Universe but I mean something that's more than just a walkthrough to more important areas.Yeah, OG Lost Continent is easily in my top five all time favorite areas, probably top three. But clearly, it was the right decision.
I guess my point is aimed at those (primarily on a certain other site that shan't be named) who actually think the GP wants original content at either major resort...do you think that an original land, no matter how good, would've saved the parks from being sold off when Comcast bought NBCU?
