I seriously think they should just close fear factor just to close fear factor. Keep the theater for special events like bill and ted and maybe put in another show when the time is right. It just seriously needs to be put out of its misery, just makes the entire park look bad
Bad show >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Empty Theater
I agree. But too many people would complain about having an empty theatre. I say Universal should build a new entertainment center with about 1500-2500 seats then remove fear factor theatre for good. Just a matter of where you would put a new theatre.

Are they just routine maintenance or will it be noticeable upgrades? (such as making the visuals sharper or brighter)

I feel like I've been hearing about Simpson projector upgrades for over 2 years now. It needs a major upgrade in picture and sound. Please keep us posted on when this is done. I really don't want to ride again until the picture is more on par with nearby attractions.
I was in the parks last week and it seemed like only 1 of the Simpson's theaters was running the whole time I was there. This was the 1st time we didn't do the Simpson's ride as I never saw the wait drop below 45 minutes for the Simpson's. This on a day that everything else (minus despicable me) was 10 or 15 minutes. Half capacity would pull those waits on slow days.
Yes, lines apps have been showing those high times for almost two months, so it seems it was a fairly lengthy refurb.
If memory serves me right the NoC said it was an $20 million project.
New projectors for Simpsons just seven years after they were upgraded. How time flies in the tech world. What else might they be upgrading to get it to 20 million. Were the queues looking hinky?

Once the projector upgrades are done, can someone update me on the changes? Color me interested.
I see what you mean, the theater in TL has been driving people nuts for a decade and it would suck to have that happen again. I'm just saying this replacement is LONG overdue, like this should've closed a year after it opened overdue
I don't disagree. They should put a new show in there, but I'd rather have something in the theater than nothing.
So when the dust settles, what will be left for "show" spaces? Sinbad, FFL and music plaza? Assuming Animal Actors is gone with Nintendo.
Showing my ignorance here, but where is this second Simpsons theatre/dome? I always thought there was just the one. Does anyone have a layout or pics?
Thanks, it always seemed so big on the inside that I thought one dome reached the entire width of the building. :bonk:

Does that mean that they're doing the transition in a month or two or that they will close it down for a month or two?
