I really hope they use this as an opportunity to completely redo the entrance area for USF. IOA has the beautiful Port of Entry leading into a grand reveal of the huge IOA lagoon where you can see the landmarks of every island. USF has an unappealing studio lot with two screen rides with ugly facades.
Personally, I'd refurbish everything from the front end of the park:
- Give SLOP a New York facade, and in order to help congestion, have the entrance be on the side of the attraction facing away from the park entrance.
- Completely redo the Despicable Me facade/queue to be like USH's (if they have to, they can do a virtual queue for the attraction in the meantime).
- Redo the outside of Monsters Cafe to fit into the New York theme. They don't NEED to do anything major, but at the very least changing the aesthetic would help greatly.
- Rename the "Hollywood" Rip Ride Rockit to just the Rip Ride Rockit, and maybe give it a better queue, new music, etc. alongside that.
- Tranformers can now count as an attraction in New York. I mean, the ride itself takes place in a city. Just pretend it's a government facility in New York. It works, imo.
This way, the front of the park can now be part of New York rather than Production Central; specifically a residential New York street leading into the main part of the city. (Yes, I know the DM movies likely don't take place in New York but we can pretend.) Hollywood can stay in exactly the footprint it is now, plus being extended to have E.T./SpongeBob.
