I'd love to get a new immersive land, but man will I be upset the day that Toon Lagoon goes away.

Honestly, it can be hard being a Universal fan lol. Nothing is sacred really in their book it seems

I don't think TL has ever got the love it deserved from Universal. Popeye's has always been great but Dudley's had the potential to be something truly great with a little attention.

If Universal would get LoTR, I find it really hard to believe that they wouldn't bulldoze TL entirely and start fresh.
I love TL's rides, but IoA has too many water rides. Right now, there are two entire lands (TL, JP) that are almost entirely dedicated to water rides. That's just too much!

I did find this....
Probably a good idea to take all this talk over there, too.

There aren’t too many water rides. In Florida they’re very welcome. The problem is, there aren’t enough rides in total. The park needs about 6-8 more to really get it up there. Another coaster or two, another walkthrough, a big show, a smaller show, 2-3 smaller scale rides, and 2 more big E’s and this park could be the best in the world.

Don't forget the Saul Zaentz company. WB actually leased the rights from them, as they are the actual rights holder.
I'd rather it be the coaster that Gringott's should have been - speed with sets and cool effects

Ooh! Ooh! Retrofit Ripsaw Falls, but it's Fellowship of the Ring, so the ride ends with you going off the falls with Boromir's corpse!
Star Trek special FX walkthrough & interactive show like the old Star Trek Experience would be awesome
But why would a Star Trek attraction be in NY or San Fran? If it’s gonna replace anything as a singular ride, MIB seems the obvious choice since it’s sort of off on its own.

Well, Starfleet Academy is in San Francisco.
Ah. I don’t know much about Star Trek so I wouldn’t have known.

Heh, A Star Ship Enterprise that travels FAST & Furious through the Galaxy (only the Galaxy, since the Epic Universe will be a few blocks away 
)

No question. If it got a nice refurb and some more attention, it could have been Universal's Splash Mountain.
I mean, I love Ripsaw Falls regardless because it cracks me up and I love water rides. But it could have been a legit top attraction in Orlando.
Not when there’s a similar attraction considered to be top tier that’s vastly superior. With that much discrepancy there’s no way for Dudley to also have the same prestige.

Ripsaw Falls a top tier attraction? You missed the /s
It’s an embarrassment. Maintenance is atrocious and the queue is on par with Six Flags. The sooner they drop Dudley, the better.
And just to be clear, I’m not against water rides; quite the opposite. Splash is my favorite ride at WDW and Popeyes is by a mile the most fun ride I’ve ridden in Orlando. Ripsaw just pales in comparison and it’s warts are too large to ignore.
