Marvel should make a comic book out of Nintendo’s Metroid series and then a Metroid ride can replace Fear Fall
I know I'm really late on this, but I think everything behind the orange access roads has been taken out. There's enough room for another ride there, and you wouldn't have to get rid of ET to do it. It could also be used for the playground seen in the concept art, but that could be put elsewhere.
The plan is/(was) to use that area as staging for construction, so it was labeled as future expansion. In other words, it might be set aside for a play area, but only after the entire land was already built and opened, as it wasn't within the scope of the plans to start.
Also, if everything over there was taken out RECENTLY, does that mean construction will begin SHORTLY?
Oh no, I meant in the plans. But why use that area for construction purposes? You have a whole 10 acre plot directly behind the land not used for anything. IMO, if SNW is still to go in Kidzone, we will see at least 2 new attractions be added. They wouldn't have to be rides, they could be play areas and mini-attractions (like Bowser Jr). Although, DK could adapt well into a water ride (which USF does not have).
What's the point in delaying SNW if you didn't change anything?
But that's just my opinion, and I'm probably wrong.

Just going to ask this one last time. Is there any chance that USF could get both SNW and Pokemon? There was rumors late last year of Nintendo using KZ and the MIB expansion plot as part of a giant land, and a lot of speculation had both properties going in there.
I've never seen anything concrete about Pokemon... It's all been speculation as of yet.
Thanks @AliciaStella I was about to post them.
And supposedly that is for a new Steeplechase Coaster similar to the one at Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
Here is an article with an animation.
S&S Worldwide to Bring Back the Steeplechase Coaster - Coaster101
Why does this look extremely unsafe to me. The track looks like a twig, the horse is super high with very little support, and they look plastic.

I think a ride like that looks like it would be so much fun, but also super risky and potentially unsafe, I want to do it, but I feel like it would be a liability nightmare......
but someone please build it :grin:

I thought it was supposed to be a single track with false track in parts of the ride.
Only the real ride base would be on the single track. Guests would see a traditional mine coaster track that you appear to travel on.
I always thought that was just a proof of concept, I assumed that the real and fake track would run parallel to each other. The forces on the wheel assembly and supports would be incredibly high in this set up.
The wheel assembly would be impossible on those photos.
