Yea that was my main issue with Exterminatorz, like 5 scareactors everytime I walked it but something like Ultimate Purge had pletera of Purgers making it better imoFor me, it just comes down to staffing. Honestly, I loved 07-10, the Walking Dead trams, The Purge tram, and the first two Hollywood Harry trams, because they were super full with scareactors.
I think it's still popular and will probably be kept around for a while. However, it's interesting to see what the no-access to the NOPE sets would look like. If it didn't generate enough positivity, then the Terror Tram might be closed again like in the pre-COVID days.I always feel like the most jaded and bitter Hollywood fan because I just think Terror Tram is a massive waste of time and resources. It's the same thing every year just with different characters. It's also so truncated compared to the earlier iterations that would take you on the trail along the hill, now it's just a pretty direct path from Bates Motel to War of the Worlds. Plus, without access to the Nope sets, it's going to be even shorter than ever.
I don’t know if anyone here tried the stranger things drive thru experience during covid, but I always thought that could’ve been a cool pivot for the Terror Tram to try something like that. Pull up and stop for some show scenes that play out for a minute or so before moving on to the next one.I think it's still popular and will probably be kept around for a while.

That said, I'm with you that the current Terror Tram trend is too old and tired, since it's just a big scare zone that acts like a walkthrough, and all it does is increase the foot pain you already have to deal with walking around the park. Had it not for the 1986 fatal accident, we'd probably stay on the tram for 30-40 minutes instead of getting out and walking for miles, which would have lived up to its name. I much rather prefer it for those who want a footrest.
That’s why I suggested something like the Stranger Things Drive Thru. Stop for a show scene, much like Norman bates or how they did the Whoville dance routine during Grinchmas of old.I mean...how could it even be scary if your in the middle of the Tram
I'm not against a new section where you ride though an area where they try to scare you but a Tram ride would be much...much less scary then what we have now
Maybe with advanced AI in the future, you could have AI replace human actors in scaring people instead while setting up motions to prevent the trams from colliding with said AI. It might be possible for the Terror Tram to live up to its name. I understand USH isn't going back to the 1986 variation due to a fatal accident, but it was nearly 40 years ago. That doesn't mean I suggest Universal should go for it, but that Universal has the means to adapt to changes without harming anyone on set.That’s why I suggested something like the Stranger Things Drive Thru.

But honestly, it’s such a small percentage of us that no longer find it thrilling to walk the same old path year after year… a majority of the GP eats it up which is why it returned after a brief absence.

No, I'm not saying the technology is there or something like that, I'm saying along the lines there can be technologies in the future that can reduce the repeat of the 1986 event. It's not going to stop a small group of people who saw the current Terror Tram as nothing but a big scare zone acting like a walkthrough, and pointing it out, not to mention the increase in foot pain.is this satire
