I’ve said this before- but absolutely no one outside of us theme park geeks care if it’s themed as Jurassic World or Jurassic Park.At some point they will probably get around to giving the ride a massive refurb like USJ did. But whether or not they transition it to another iteration of the JP franchise is more 50-50 to me.
While I see the value of updating Orlandos JP ride to a more modern iteration of the JW franchise, those just aren't as timeless or as well received as the original 90s Jurassic Park era. Plus, considering how the JP franchise is one of those IPs that keeps coming back in some way, rethemeing it to a newer version of JP risks that getting dated if it ever fizzles out like the 2015-2021 JW trilogy.
All the average guest cares about is it’s Jurassic something and it has dinosaurs.
They’ll still sell Jurassic park shirts no matter what (just like they do at Jurassic world in Beijing).
It truly doesn’t matter which era they theme it to as no characters are in the ride and the merch is still gonna get pushed off the shelves. They just need to take it down for a while and make it impressive again a la mummy and ET.
