What to "add" to Islands of Adventure

[Paulio]

Is there room for another dark ride in Seuss Landing? Or could they route guests from Seuss to Lost Continent area and use space there? I still think that's there biggest area for opportunity.

I'm guessing it might depend on the current popularity of the Dr. Seuss properties.

Yes (kinda) and yes (kinda). There is room behind One Fish, Two Fish/CitH for a small something especially if the go two stories (where Lorax was intended). And there were plans to load a small Grinch coaster in Seuss but have most of the spaghetti bowl in Lost Continent.

We have. I can’t find it, but I overlayed the KFP building on Toon Lagoon and it just works. They’d have to turn one entrance 90 degrees (Kong side), but it fits.

Although, frankly, just converting Toon Lagoon to KFP could work too. Make Dudley a retelling of the first movie (Legend of the Dragon Warrior), make Blutos a Furious Five “training session,” Wimpy’s becomes Ping’s, and The Olive is replaced with Master Oogway’s Play Garden. Add a flat across from the amphitheater (the balloon spinner) and put a martial arts stunt show in the amphitheater itself.

Boom.

doesn't fit toon lagoon either, not without knocking down part of ripsaw falls

Well, yeah. That would be the idea. If you’re putting the indoor KFP land from Beijing in that spot, the entirety to Toon Lagoon would get torn out.

Apart from the fact that it really doesn't fit, it would represent a massive net loss in rides and F&B, and ruin the route around the park. I get the fact that toon lagoon is showing it's age but is not one that works at all in that park

Toon Lagoon is aging with grace. I will die on this hill

Agreed!

I'd much rather they just put a new attraction on the theater plot than replace the entire land.

Almost any animated IP could be made to fit into Toon Lagoon -- thematically -- without much difficulty.

The Comic Strip and the theater are the only real sore spots of this land for me. Say what you will about Dudley's but the kinesthetics from within the land are great.

I feel there’s a way to re work that building, then where Popeyes is located, we get a big restaurant across from Mythos. Would look nice and be cool being across from one another, opens that area up for a walkway, and add a bridge from MSHI To the new restaurant area.

I didn’t say it was a good idea (which is why I proposed simply retheming what’s there. I was just highlighting that we had discussed these details before.

It’s just exciting all the potential with IOA’s future after Epic Universe with TL and LC being big areas.

I would still argue USF needs the work (and will even after VillainCon and the VR thing) before either of those areas.

I'd honestly say at this point, Seuss Landing just needs a small, all-ages, family dark ride. They could easily fit it next to Cat/1 Fish, Two Fish, especially if the layout is borrowed from Pets.

Outside of that? Just add stage shows, and some kind of Lagoon show, and the park would be golden at this point.

Agreed, just discussing the inevitability (plus we’re in the IOA thread)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but...

1) A while ago (like, a few years ago) wasn't it rumored that Storm Force and Fear Fall were on the chopping block for a new Avengers coaster that would be the same ride-style as Gringott's?

2) I remember Legacy saying that before COVID, Doom was one of the next targets on the attraction hit list.

Not hit list. Upgrade.
