The Future of The Simpsons Ride/Springfield (Orlando)

[TheUniC6]

I think the conscious effort should be made to allow each of the three parks to stand on its own in the best-possible shape.

It's time for USF to get its turn with some big*, dramatic projects.

* The last project at USF I would classify at this scale would be Diagon Alley, and I would put all three of Skull Island, Hagrid's, and VelociCoaster in IOA at a level above everything in USF since then. And surely whatever they're doing in Lost Continent is probably going to be, as well.

Simpsons will obviously be the next big thing for USF post F&F coaster, but another exciting possibility is the soundstage cluster behind what will be the F&F coaster.

What used to be the HRRR load station will no longer be in that spot, which could be Universals way to future proof that area for further USF expansion.

Why not bring back Back to the Future? If the re-release a few weeks ago being in the top 10 opening weekend is any indication, the movies are still in the public's consciousness. Just change the date from 2015 to 2075 and you have another few decades. The ride's film hasn't aged as bad as Simpsons, using practical effects vs CG will do that.

FWIW, BBTF is the IP of choice for the rumored Supercharged reskin.

FWIW, BBTF is the IP of choice for the rumored Supercharged reskin.

Only one person has corroborated that rumor, so it is worth approaching with a fair level of skepticism. Even if it was seriously considered, it is also very possible that plans may have changed. Pokémon was the prevailing rumor for the Simpsons replacement until it wasn't...
