I disagree with you on this. I feel like if Universal were to build a dark ride omnimover based off Luigi's Mansion it would just be seen as a copy/knock-off of Haunted Mansion by most, and in a way it would be. And we'll be getting the Universal Monsters land to fill the horror genre anyways
same issue as Simpsons though, Disney's control. I imagine when Simpsons goes they wouldn't want to replace it with another Disney IP. Again though, I'd love to see a Futurama ride. Just don't think it's gonna happen
Until LotR actually happens (which could be never), there will always be rumors/people wanting it coming to Universal. Always and forever.
And yet Ready Player One isn’t hot itself and the Metaverse kind of isn't even a real thing. It's being propped up so companies can make it a thing. Free Guy and did RP1 way better than RP1, anyway. I'm not sure if you guys remember, but RP1 wasn't all that good of a movie, nor was the world all that captivating.
We talked about it on the podcast, but essentially yes it could be like Triansformers, except you know you’re going up and down, whereas on Transformers they hide that.
The patent talks about possibly changing physical sets in one room, completely changing the way it looks before you come back to it. It also mentions possible projections used between rooms or for characters in scenes. The point of the patent was you go back and forth, up and down and back, over and over, but it looks like you’re visiting different rooms every time! Which is kind of neat.
Even if they did want it, the licensing costs would be ridiculous because they aren't just paying for RP1, they would have to pay to use all the other IP's that show up.
