Meh? Just meh! You bite your tongue.There were rumors of the Wild West Stunt Show returning. That would be better than FFL, but still pretty meh.

I've heard enough things to believe USF is getting a new attraction (of some scope) before Nintendo opens.
not dumb at all. an attraction in my eyes isn't something that draws crowds towards it so while most people would think of a ride, it could also mean a show or a walk through attraction (like posidens fury), or something of this sort.Dumb question, can someone define "attraction" for me?
IMO I don't think the FFL stage is going anywhere fwiw
I thought MIB was safe (at least for the time being?)
If The stage is staying, but FFL is going, why would it be necessary to Axe B&T? Is it just the convenient excuse to end the show or would the new show's sets be too elaborate to remove every HHN?
I don't understand why they don't have something...anything in that theater. At this point, the fact they can't put together a show to fill that space and add another option of entertainment is beyond lazy and smacks of pathetic.
Seriously, is the thing built over an Indian burial ground or something? My 16 year old could put together a Sing show/M&G but Universal Studios struggles.
Why can't Universal do live entertainment?
Heck, Disneys building a new theatre for a show. Uni really does lack in this department, shows are people eaters and money spinners, sodas, popcorn, beers, merch. Yet they have 3 good sized stages and not one decent show in any of them, unbelievable for an entertainment company.
And Universal wonders why they can't get a late night crowd in the park. It's not rocket science.The difference in these 3 categories is mind blowingly different between WDW and UOR:
-Nighttime Entertainment
-Parades
-Shows
With Night entertainment being the worst of the bunch. Every park at WDW has massively better nighttime offering than UOR- some being decades old.
While I enjoy Macy's- the superstar parade pales in comparison to MKs. I'd rather them not even do it, in it's present situation, to be completely honest.
For shows- you have some small intimate ones that are solid- Make-up, Ollivanders, etc. But again, even WDW's decades long shows in BatB and VLM are significantly better offerings- and that's before they add their new theater.
UOR has the capability- toon amphitheater just sitting there rotting. FFL just sitting there in the corner like a child in time out. 2 Lagoons. The potential to rebuild Hippogriff and move it to create a viewing area for Hogwarts w/ the DC expansion.
All of the above- outside of making a more elaborate parade (maybe plan it for the new park?)- they should have been focusing on for the past 5 years.
For whatever reason, Universal just can't figure it out.
I wish I could find all my old photos from the early 1990s. So far I've located one from the New York streets. There are hundreds of photos somewhere at my parents house. One day I'll find them. One day.
EDIT: Here's the one photo I've found so far, taken around 1993.

Things of note:
- Jurassic Park strollers are awesome!
- The straw roof gift shop on left is next to sick triceratops from Jurassic Park on display in The Boneyard
- Ghostbusters soundstage still has old blue/mauve color palette
- Monsters Cafe is still called Studio Stars and is a buffet!
- No Monsters drink shop blocking view of New York facades
- That guy is smoking on the path, because no designated smoking areas
- Are those street lights still there at the end of the street? You can see red lights in front of facades. Pretty sure that's long gone now, right?
Then I really don't understand why this thread exploded last week with reliable insiders stating something dramatic was about to happen. Was all that because they announced this was the last year of Bill & Ted? I really don't see that announcement as being dramatic, but I've never seen it so I guess I can't really comment...However, since Bill & Ted is held in the Fear Factor Live area then why wouldn't it finally be getting the ax? That is such a waste of space it drives me insane that it just sits there year after year.
