Universal Studios Florida: What Do We Think About It?

Not sure if this has been covered....but USF Jan. & Feb. 2026 hours have been posted and the park does not open until 10:00
AM most every day. The good part though, is that it stays open until 8:00 or 9:00 PM most days. This is a major departure from
past operating hours. Early Arrival is at IOA.

I would take 10AM to 9PM over 8AM to 7PM any day.

a resounding YES !!! Looks like IOA will be the early morning park of the three. A good business, and guest, move.
Maybe they'll run the Cinesational show more regularly. Its a really good night show.

Just wanna preface I'm very well aware this has almost a 0% chance of ever happening (especially with Dark Universe open) and it's just me missing the show, but...

With Beetlejuice 3 said to be in early development, and if it proves a success- What are the chances we see a successor to Graveyard Revue take over FFL?

I think we may be in territory for a Beetlejuice ride at this point. But I would be open to Graveyard Revue coming back.

Personally, I'd like to see a successor to Graveyard Revue also. But, the reality is that the show did not attract very good attendance
during those last couple years of existence. So, I'd doubt a return, especially in a much larger theater like the former Fear Factor.

I think there’s potential for a spiritual revival of the Revue. I think the “trick” is that it needs to regularly refresh in order to truly survive in today’s fast-paced zeitgeist. It would need to feel (be?) less scripted and more… well… like a Top-40 review. Use memorable, TikTok-style choreography, rotate songs every few months (while retaining only one or two classics). Let the dialogue be more free-flowing and improvisational for the entire cast, and you likely have a winner.

The age of a popular music “concert” show that doesn’t change its set-list for years is over. If Universal (and Disney) are willing to proactively maintain it, it could actually be a heck of a crowd soak while being able to endure.
