Walking Dead Attraction: Stay or Go?

[SailwiththeTide]

You placing a bet?

Honestly, if Universal wasn't distributing those 3 films; then I would say it's going sooner than later. However..the fact that Universal has now put in money towards the IP in a massive way with AMC, makes me think it will not only stay; but will recieve updates once the films come out.

See Tom Cruise's Mummy: Also the franchise is dead. Movies will flop. Again my 2 cents.

They could save this if they found a way to make it interactive maybe?
Something like Knott's Scary Farm's Infected or just turn it into an attraction full of animatronics and you shoot them. idk

I wouldn't necessarily consider TWD being a "dead" IP. Especially as they're seemingly keeping strong to keep airing the main series, FTWD, and now collaborating with Jordan Vogt Roberts on an entirely new spin-off series with the IP for 2020.

Should there be concern, especially as the Skybound comic series has ended? Yes. However, I don't think AMC is going to let the IP die so easily, and I do think the film trilogy's going to be in a bit of a larger scale than some may be thinking.

So apparently it may stay around longer? (No inside info here, just guessing from recent posts)

If so, cool, I guess. There's nothing they can really replace it with anyway as space is super tight in that building. If they insist on keeping it around a few years longer, it would be nice for them to add a few rooms/change them up.

Honestly, if Parisain Courtyard goes (as seemingly rumored in the past), I'd argue a portion of TWDA would make as a nice bar. (with the rest being transformed into an indoor overflow queue for Pets) Otherwise, I'd assume the biggest changes would be a new finale and new queue videos with Andrew Lincoln (along with audio from him around the walk-through experience).

I think walking dead is past it time it time of something new the show is not popular anymore and the comic book are over they can’t do anything else with it

I like this idea

Id rather see this become an open flex space so they can use the space for a proper HHN maze and special events, such as the Laika walkthrough, Grinchmas photo ops, ect, ect... (This would also allow them to build on the Saddle Ranch plot and demo SS29.

(Another) Nintendo souvenir shop?

Citywalk should be the prime estate for Nintendo store west.

They're finally investing in new Nintendo stores across the globe (with London and Tokyo getting new Nintendo/Pokemon stores, so I could honestly buy Nintendo being a major storefront for Universal Citywalk (also helps cross-promote with SNW)).

To bring this to TWDA, I do stand by the comment I made on the main TWDA thread, that they're going to wait on closing this until after UP releases the TWD films (with Andrew Lincoln). It's unfortunate, as I do think that location could be a prime venue for Pets overflow and flex-space.

Someone contact Paul Gale Network to confirm.
