(Rumor) New Potter Attraction to Replace Fear Factor Live?

[OrlLover]

Well I guess it’s back to the drawing board for this area of the park.

I guess they'll just have to re-do Fast and Furious instead

I mean, I think BOTH were an option.

And even then, I'd like to see them improve on the Hollywood version if they were to axe JP for it.

(This can probably be moved to the River Adventure thread, but) We going to forget the changes and updates made during the pandemic, before USH reopened? During the months that followed the closure, they changed up Predator Cove to include more practical effects (like bringing back the compies and moving the I-Rex head used as the placeholder before people got to the second lift hill), and finished the I-Rex animatronic in T-Rex Kingdom.

Universal is aware of changes that would need to be made for Jurassic, if they weren't, why was Hollywood's version given additional updates?

Honestly, I think combining a River Adventure revamp alongside a new parade for USF is the logical call. Superstar Parade is well over a decade and during that time, Universal did their first non-seasonal parade internally with Universal Spectacle.

Yes, I just hope it means the project gets moved up

I would be ok with FFL being vacant for a bit

Empty theaters are basically a thematic aesthetic at this point

Excuse the double post, but this whole saga is quite interesting

I wonder if the late change (and I mean LATE, decision made days before work walls were yo go up) was due to the exec shuffle at UOR, UP&R, and UC.

This thread is cursed.

Is it me or is Universal inefficient when it comes to their performance stages lol?

Prior to BMG, they had 3 theaters abandoned yet still had to build a venue for Grinchmas.
They built a permanent location for concerts/stage shows yet somehow still need to build a temp stage in Hollywood. I just find it funny

the exec shuffle at UOR, UP&R, and UC.

Is there any information on this around here?

Universal had a different fanbase 20 years ago, but today--given the success of the HHN icons and Earl the Squirrel--a tongue-in-cheek Wild West stunt show featuring larger-than-life home-grown characters might sell some merch. Also something unique to Orlando, not going to see something similar at WDW or Sea World. Done right, could be a real crowd-pleaser, that wouldn't require millions in R&D.

 

[UniversalRBLX]

If they don't plan on using this theater for the next year or so, they should try to at least put something in it. Mummy and Shrek being down isn't helping with capacity.

 

[HHN Maddux]

How 'bout we bring back a certain show starring the ghost with the most...

 

[shiekra38]

Bring back iVillage Live or don't bother IMO

Would be funny if WB opens another Potter store / VR experience on I-Drive ...

Am excited for Epic to get more Potter, but it is a tough task to have a differentiated third land, especially with Fantastic Beasts not being blockbuster movies
