The Old KidZone Thread

I've never watched the show and I'm an AP holder. I won't shed a single tear if they decide to take that building down.

Exactly... it's a waste of space and nothing about its building says "Come watch this!" while Horror Make-Up Show, Twister, T2 3D and even Shrek 4D add some character to the park. I'd love a nice, big family E-ticket (POTC or HM-style) where Animal Actors is

That's also another reason why I wouldn't mind seeing this go. The whole building and its surrounding area are the last remnants of the old and stale Expo Center theming.

Shrek 4D adds literally nothing. To anything. Dead franchise.

God can we NEVER have a Willy Wonka area, ANYWHERE. You KNOW they'd do the Depp version which is sacrilege and disgraceful to the classic Wilder one. Not to mention that all and all it sounds awful.

Shrek 4D is a people eater which is why its lasted so long. It consumes an insane amount of people from the park every hour.

Also I'd hardly consider Pirates an E-ticket.....

F-ticket?

Technically speaking, it's not dead yet. They're working on a sequel to the Puss in Boots spin-off. But even then, I'm pretty sure Shrek will be a franchise long remembered.

Regardless, Shrek 4-D still needs to go anyway.

 

[ChrisFL]

The problem is they released the entire Shrek 4D movie on one of the bonus features of Shrek 2 IIRC, kinda ruining the experience, the same way Toy Story Mania did on the Wii.

It's time for ET to phone home.

......said no one ever.

......said no one ever.

Pretty sure I just said it....and I'm pretty sure it's quite the famous line in the movie. #awkward

I've never seen Animal Actors and don't ever care to. I really would like to see it turned into an addition for Springfield. But it's unlikely considering Universal is probably done with Simpsons. It's definitely big enough to turn into a dark ride though.

Its actually a pretty cool show. You should see it at least once. But its one of those one time and done deals. So I wouldn't be upset if it left.

Yeah I do want to see at least once. But I would much rather have a new ride, you know? To me I keep thinking how amazing Springfield looks, so how cool would it be to have a Simpsons dark ride? I mean there's so many different characters and the storylines are endless.

I definitely agree that you can do so much with the Simpsons. However, Animal Actors is a part of KidZone, and it will be involved in the redo most likely. A new show would be good since the building can hold a good amount of people.

One thing I hope the new Kidzone will have is some more water rides, as with Jaws gone and soon the Fievel slide, there will be no water rides in the park. And knowing Florida's summers, it will really need some.

SpongeBob would obviously be a good property to theme a water ride around.

The park needs water features in general.

 

[TomTheRiddle]

I live and breathe the Florida heat most days and I almost NEVER find myself saying "I would LOVE more water rides/features." Its a waste of truly important space that works for about half the year and the other half is devoid of guests because its frigid, not to mention whats inside that water.

Keep the water to the water parks.

The fact that you put a hashtag automatically gives you no say on ET :doh: it has more character than Twister, Shrek, T2, Animal Actors, Fear Factor, and Beetlejuice combined. More importantly, it's a non-screen based, AA dark ride for the whole family. They've got bigger fish to fry IMO before they think about possibly replacing ET

 

[AK-Jake]

Let's hope, anyway! E.T. needs a major overhaul/refub and then needs to stay in the park and delighting guests for another 250 years. :nunchucks:

I disagree. Water features can help liven up an area and inject life. Even though I do feel Universal could benefit from a water ride, water features are pretty scarce at the park and I feel should be a part of any future additons. I can only think of 3 that exist in the park (Lagoon, Fountain, and Curious George Bucket Dump).

And now the we have the water hydrant, too :thumbs:

Even little things like that help bunches, especially for kids, in the FL heat.
