Universal Studios Florida: What Do We Think About It?

[Mad Dog]

Probably not for a while. With an outdoor coaster the first expansion attraction, that's kind of ordinary and not very ambitious. Guessing
the second expansion will just be a retheme of the terrible/horrible Supercharged building. Those two would take us into the next
decade of the 2030's. Epic attraction capacity needs will suck up the expansion budgets.

Put a real, Bourne level good show, in FFL plot. Whatever that is. Personally, I think retire Animal Actors and make it a Dreamworks theatre. Those 2 additions would help the park a lot, in my opinion if we’re not getting anything major. Plus switch Fallon to a Great Universal movies ride.

What are the realistic areas ripe for change/development over the next 5 years?

Simpsons
Fallon
MIB?
Dreamworks?
Fear Factor?
Supercharged?
Animal Actors

It seems like each area, outside of Simpsons, has something that would make it difficult.
Dreamworks - new
Fallon - Seems fine and not screaming for a change , like Supercharged.
Fear Factor - HHN show. Take away Nightmare Fuel the last few years, and the crowds would be unbearable. I'm sure they'd pivot, but is there a place that makes sense if Fear Factor would get demolished (Diagon extension?)
MIB - still a fun ride, but would Universal demolish it as part of a larger plot of land ?
Supercharged - The most obvious change. Lot of possibilities with this area, and the only headache is around the HHN house disruption if there's construction
Animal Actors - This seems to just exist. The couple times I've went the last two years, there was less than 50 people in the stands. Pretty depressing crowd levels. Feels like Pokemon could takeover Simpsons/AA/Dreamworks?

Just spitballing to get a discussion going

Seems like the ideas thrown around for expansion/replacement most often:

Wicked
Pokemon
Diagon extension with a Potter ride at FF
Ghostbusters
BTTF

Despite the hate it gets on here, I think Fallon will be around for awhile. It seems pretty popular with the general public (and I don't really hate it either)

It is genuinely crazy how it's been half a decade now since FFL hosted a daily-ops show. They've had a lot of time to figure something out there.

Well, you were getting something, but a few *ahem* factors came into play and cancelled it. It worked out for the better, tbh.
