Just a thought but since Universal is aiming to get visitors to visit BOTH parks what about Kong in IOA and Godzilla in USF?? Total monsters advertising blitz lol.

After seeing the new Godzilla movie all I can say is hell yeah to that. I really do think Godzilla would be a better 360 attraction than fast and furious but hey that's just me

 

[Viator]

Oh god. It'd be a King Kong VS godzilla type thing. Which ride if it was, would be better.

It doesn't even need to be a Disaster layover. I'd be happy with something like the walk-through attraction they set up at Comic-Con last year. But if it is for Disaster, I hope they go all out.

My idea would be the walkthrough would be the three Disaster preshow rooms, with the ride being trying to escape Kaiju madness.

How about Godzilla for twister? Yeah it's not from New York but if it's a walk through attraction there isn't a better fit

Seriously asking...not trying to be mean....what is it about trackless that makes it so great?

I'm kind of curious myself...I mean we saw how it kind of flopped with Sea World.

That's because Seaworld creative is terrible. Disney has done great things with the technology. It enables vehicles to move throughout scenes in unique ways...much like kuka arms.

Yes, not being confined to a track opens up a whole new chapter in possible movements. Another exciting feature is they can have multiple programs for the same ride, giving re-riders unique new experiences.

I don't think we need an attraction based off of that Godzilla

It also has a insane flowy feeling, really smooth and peaceful like your sliding

Godzilla.....Good movie / bad idea for the parks

How? There's one major set piece that just screams "Disaster overlay" and would help the attraction stand out more... not to mention ease the tension off Mummy and Diagon Alley later on.

Godzilla replacing Disaster
the rebooted Ghostbusters (if it ever happens) replacing Twister
Mummy getting updated to the 2016 re-imagining
Shrek and Lucy becoming an all-ages Omnimover (Lucy gets a small exhibit in new Gardens of Allah museum)
BMG getting bulldozed for SSFL
Front entrance is given a revamp

The front area is finally up to snuff! Of course, most of that is unlikely to happen but if Godzilla ends up one of the highest grossers of the summer, this might be USF's 2017 addition

First off, no way they're shutting BMG down. and then let me continue. I think Godzilla replacing Disaster is a option but i feel if it comes, its more likely in Kidszone due to the new secret additions coming there. I would like a Front entrance Revamp but why not have a new version of Universal Plaza from hollywood take over Shrek/Lucy with creating a huge open plaza for big crowds. Mummy I do feel is getting a revamp, no matter what. if its just a poster or a new ride story. atleast they'll have to fix that up. Twister, Its good for what it is but I'd see a Lights Camera action as its simple to just replace it with Singapore.

But we'll see by Box office by middle of next month to say the least. And, I'm actauly thinking a 2016 border for USF as I personally feel if LOTR is coming, its going in Toon Lagoon. And, it'd be a perfect 2017 addition for LOTR but Godzilla I feel more USF due to balance one new ride each offyear for both parks. Hogwarts Express is the Exception but yea, thats my thoughts.

BMG will go away eventually since its underperformed for a large portion of its run. Considering Rockit goes by the area for it, it's not impossible for the area to be annexed back into USF someday

Kong and new JP ride in IOA. Godzilla and Fast and the Furious in Kidzone/Universal Studios. And a dream scenario with TMNT replacing Disaster!( Hopefully the film is great and makes some good dough at the Box Office). Also I love the idea of either A. replacing Lost Continent with a new major land/ride concept: Atlantis or Bermuda Triangle? or B. Making LC into the Forbidden Forest. I don't really like the idea of putting the other Potter books/movies expansion. Stick with the original franchise or make a new land for LC. Now Kid Zone I feel like could take the opportunity in building that Tokyo land idea we all love so much and have the two E-Ticket Zilla and FF attractions. Another scenario could be to just have both or one of either Zilla or FF built in the Hollywood area where a ride is needed and have a brand new land where Kid Zone land is. Maybe LOTR? because I'm one of the people highly in favor of keeping Toon Lagoon but just revamping and adding to it in a big way! And I also love the idea of having SCI-FI or a space theme where the MIB land plot is? With possibilities of Star Trek, Battle Star or maybe even Gravity???

This is complete BS.

Kaiju???? Don't toy with my emotions like that. And if so, that last preshow room needs a musion effect with Charlie Day madness.

This is complete BS.

Facts? Who needs facts, when you can have unproven nonsense spread by worthless Disney sites who have no idea what they're even saying.

Clearly! BMG is doing well, the show can operate at half capacity and make profit, and that's when the block out the back rows. The show can run on Chicago style crowds but they get near Vegas sized ones in Orlando. BMG is part of a long term plan at UOR and will be there for a long time. I just wish they'd incorporate their pre-show parade they have in Vegas into Orlando.
