It seems like millennial nostalgia is finally in vogue. I’d be shocked if there wasn’t a Scooby Doo movie in theaters in the next couple years. If it took off, maybe a Scooby-Doo ride could happen.
As a millennial/Gen Z hybrid, bring it.

But that was my original point. It seems to me that Universal isn’t interested in making rides for properties they don’t own that already have rides elsewhere. How to Train Your Dragon and other DreamWorks properties being the exception since they own the IPs now.Oh yes. Something like this please.

I also concur. Spongebob and Scooby Doo would have fit in nicely somewhere and deserved a little more love from Universal. However, I think their ships have sailed and they will focus on current and future IP's that Universal controls moving forward.
@truejonas I definitely see where you are coming from, but I'd argue that characters like Popeye and Betty Boop are still holding their own and they've been around since the mid 1900's. :shrug:
So I have a confession for you all...
I love Toon Lagoon. Dudley and Popeye are both in my top 5 favorite rides at the entire resort. Comic Strip Café isn't bad. I enjoy the music/ambiance.
I'm sorry everyone. :bored:
I think I'd like to see the land get a re-skin or a major refurb. But I would be devastated to lose both Dudley and Popeye.I'm indifferent towards Toon Lagoon. I enjoy the music/ambiance and all the little water features throughout the land. I get a kick out of watching people spend money to get complete strangers soaked at the water cannons. I used to love going on Dudley before they put in the stupid lap-bars, as you used to be able to get some serious air time.
However, very rarely do we do Popeye because you get absolutely soaked. And then there's the eye sore that is Toon Lagoon Theater that just sits there year after year wasting prime real estate...
So while I don't see a complete overhaul being necessary, Toon Lagoon is really a land we just walk through to get from Marvel Super Hero Island to Jurassic Park/Kong.
And....most visitors agree with you. Popeye & Dudley are two of the most popular rides (Universal GSAT's. Touring Plans guest surveys), in the park. :thumbsup:So I have a confession for you all...

They should have stuck Spongebob in Toon Lagoon when Islands of Adventure first opened...
I feel Toon Lagoon is more popular than we give it credit for
