Honestly, what other Universal owned property is as big as Simpsons that has the opportunity of a replacement to Springfield? I don’t see much that does so well in sales of merchandise and food as good as Simpsons does.

Your probably right, all crowds having to go through Springfield to go down to the tour, and LL. It’ll be even more crowded than it currently is.Who said it has to be as big as Springfield? If anything, @SnideRemarksDept hit the nail on the head, and I think the smart play is to not make it as large as Simpsons to begin with.
And yes, I genuinely think it'll lapse in 2028. We are seeing it already with the USJ Marvel Contract, that Universal is intending to wipe their hands from Disney in the terms of contracts that actually have an end-date. Why would they think logistically to extend the contract?
Let me correct you there. Nintendo actually only owns 33% of Pokémon. It's 3 companies that run The Pokémon Company.(Pokémon is 50% owned by Nintendo)

If not allowed then delete this but I think this video talks about how Universal is much better at Using IP then Disney.
I once again want to ask if IP must be be able to sell drinks/toys then why is FF coming? Makes zero sense when they could have had another IP like Jurassic, Dreamworks, Nintendo or Potter then just take over. I once again think many are over thinking this and with the state of the simpsons ride, I'm sure Universal is also ready for that area to change
I think they could swing Universal Monsters. It seems pretty popular at HHN every year and Epic Universe is building a land.
They'd need to go in a more family friendly direction or with light horror so that the daytime guests can enjoy it was well.
There's also the possibility that they replace just the Simpsons Ride and keep the land but I'm not too sure Disney would go for that.
I just have to think, logistically that Universal would want to move forward with distancing themselves as far as they realistically can on having IP from Disney be properly represented in the park. Be it if it means changing SpringField USA to be an extension of "Hollywood" with a show like Bourne or Untrainable; or to have an IP that does not attract people the same way that Simpsons, Potter, or Nintendo do.I still think the most plausible option is Simpsons sticks around a while longer.

Feels like a dumb call that could be made.
this feels like what the phrase, “cutting off your nose to spite your face” was meant for. I don’t think most people think of the Simpsons as a Disney property, if they think about who owns it at all. if it’s still working for the park and they can get a deal done, I think it makes sense.I just have to think, logistically that Universal would want to move forward with distancing themselves as far as they realistically can on having IP from Disney be properly represented in the park.

Assuming they can work something out with the Pokemon Company, Pokemon would be up there on my list of what could replace Simpsons. @Tomfoolery who is according to other users on this forum is pretty accurate for the things he predicts, said over the Anime at Universal Parks thread said: "Who's to say a deal has already been worked out?" That makes me hopeful Pokemon comes to the domestic Universal parks. The IP is super popular, has a lot of potential for theme parks, and would be a game changer if brought to the US parks.They should keep Simpsons until they're ready to make this a Tokyo/Pokemon land.
