It seems that the ride has become a liability to the brand's identity to the point where it's mention is enough to spark negativity among their entire business. I think this speaks volumes not just on the status of the ride and what we received, but in the acknowledgment and self-awareness of Universal Creative, and the life span of the attraction. If it's such a sour patch to have in the garden where it's being neglected on social media, how long will it be where Universal feels like it's own presence is a liability? Even though one is getting built in beijing, it is a cool question to ask.
With a new park on the way and multiple new attractions to the existing the parks the last thing Uni wants is for the public to say "We are not going because F&F was garbage." So yes, it's somewhat a liability. Of course F&F will be overshadowed from new great attractions.
If I was Uni, I'd replace the entire thing (keeping the facade/ride building) and just changing the ride itself (IP entirely as well, if they can't find a suitable new ride system). I'd want to spend money to prevent the overall resort from negativity.
