Fallon will have just as much overall maintenance (labor) because it’s, you know, an actual ride.
The only ongoing cost that Universal cut is the propane for the fire effects.

Twister had many moving parts compared to the projector and moving platform of Fallon. Maintenance schedule might be the same but there was a lot more balls to juggle with Twister to keep it working at an acceptable level. Not to mention that these parts become legacy parts that become more expensive to source unlike the off the shelf parts for Fallon.
Same goes for Disaster and F&F.
Same seems to be becoming an issue for MIB.
Add in the extra factor of aging rides weaning in popularity and the cost to keep a ride going vs how many people are riding and their lower capacity make them a sure fire way to get canned.

As long as they don't replace MiB with screenz--maybe Ghostbusters?--I can accept that.
When MIB goes, I don’t think a shooter will replace it.
What i’d Really love to see in USF is a water ride.
Ghostbusters would also be excellent.

Like I said, as long as it’s not a screenz ride, I’m good. But since every one of them besides F&F gets high GSATs, what incentive do they have not to replace Mummy, MIB, HMUS, and ET with screenz?
Why is this a conversation happening in the T2 thread?

We had a water ride! Also, when Diagon came along, we already had an indoor coaster and multiple screen based simulators.
I’m glad Universal’s replacing T2 with another stunt show, but the loss of classic IPs is taking a toll on the park’s identity. Can’t they just update classic attractions? Terminator’s far more iconic of a character than Jason Bourne.
What’s also funny is how hard they wiff a worthy IP upgrade - looking at you F&F. To me, this all signals too many hands in the pot with no unifying vision, just let’s make $.

Me @ Universal about announcing any details about the Terminator replacement.
I don’t think so, but I’ve been dropping the name for months now. (At least, the early internal working title, since we all know how things can change.)
Ahh I see. Not sure if this has been shared but this is a teaser for the Treadstone show on USA Network

Which will open first this or Epic Universe?
.....Neither. More like the 'second' dry park on the South campus. Changing name of attraction to "Son of Bourne".

Whether its this year or not, I hope this is open for either the 2 nights ill be there this fall, or the week I plan to spend next February. Really coming for 2 nights to see VB and ride Hagrid but this would be suucchh a bonus for either trip.
