The Amity Demolition Thread

[reilysclone]

Was at USF today and saw the boathouse queue being torn down. It was all LOUD and CRASH and CRUNCH and BOOM and no more Captain Jake's for sure.

PETA is going to be pissed when they find out about this.... :look:

Don't worry, they are too drunk on Seaworld to notice the horrible tearing down and distruction of his natural habitat.

You can get a great view of the construction if you head to the employee parking lot.... It is located right behind Jaws.

Well amity is officially a pile of chum now, only a couple buildings left to go. You can really start to see just how big this area is...

Hopefully they will keep Bill and Ted at the Fear Factor stadium for HHN.... Really do not want the park to move the show...wouldn't be the same...

^No info has surfaced seeming to indicate removal of the FFL theater, so I'd say Bill and Ted are in the clear! :thumbs:

The door in the construction wall behind the shark was unlocked Saturday and kept getting knocked open in the wind. It looked crazy depressing inside.

That, and Fear Factor Live was surprisingly packing them in over the weekend. There were only 4 shows each day but alas.

That and that, and it's locked into a contract and won't be going for a solid amount of time.

Really? A new contract or the original one?

They've got a renewed contract for 2 more years years, so I'm told.

So then in 2015, we'll have the all-new "Harry Potter and the Wild Wild Wild West Stunt Show."

I'm hoping a Bond attraction will replace FFL.rayerssent:

Isn't it really hard to get the rights to Bond, so hard Disney couldn't get it in DHS and had to use Indiana Jones instead? Do you think Universal would be able to get it?

 

[ReelJustice]

^^ Universal got Potter. Disney couldn't/wouldn't. Universal's handling of Potter makes them attractive to licensors now.

Not saying it will happen, but it could, and the forthcoming London area of USF is perfect for it.

Bond would be great, but seeing as they already have a great working relationship with WB, Sherlock Holmes would also be a terrific choice.

In all honesty I really don't think Bond would be a great idea
1) IMO it had it's day in the sun and is now old news
2) I don't think they could make it explosive or grand like it should be considering the apartments that now lie right behind the studios..
3) It is not a Universal property...I know this is irrelevant anymore but with the loss of Jaws I would really like to see a "Universal" stunt show..maybe involving multiple movies like LMA just without the cars...

That's not a bad idea. It could combine Bourne, Fast & Furious, Safe House, Battleship..
