Ooooor we can bring back the ride?
But yeah, I really wish Universal's classic blockbusters got more exposure and love at the park. Even if they're considered too "old" to be attractions anymore, they're still immensely popular and people really identity Universal with the classics more than any recent Universal movie. There should be more mention.
Not to stray too far off topic, but I think Back to the Future would be a brilliant replacement for the F&F segment! Enclose the F&F "arena", add a bit of height, and then add a force perspective Clock Tower and Hill Valley set, and put a fiber glass DeLorean on the kuka arm, have it "fly around", and feature "lightning" effects, a fire trail, and other pyrotechnics. Couple that with the famous score and have that all in a cozy enclosed segmant, i think it would be a hit! And considering it'd be in the dark, it would hide the kuka arm even better and let it blend in.
Back to Universal Plaza, I wonder how "iconic" the new tower will be to the park and if it'll share the fame with the classic globe, and I'm curious if it'll be featured in any other park in the future.
