Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift coaster (USH) - Opening 2026

I’m surprised that for all the hubub…. No one’s talked about what’s gonna happen to Duff Brewery/ the neighboring food shops!

This is most likely off topic but I think it's in Universal's best interest to close one store at a time and retheme it into something more... "generic" I guess? Something that's just a base and can be easily painted over to fit with whatever replaces Simpsons. So then when Simpsons takes its leave it isn't as big of a disruption to the center of the park and the resteraunts can continue to operate. It'd be a huge bummer for me, I like the Simpsons theming more than the actual ride lol, but it's more efficient imo

Not to throw this thread off the rails, but once Springfield’s time closes, it will be interesting to see how they pull it off. I’m thinking they will be as quick as possible with the changeover given it’s in a vital artery of the park.
