Blue Man Group Replacement Rumors

[UniversalRBLX]

Rip Ride RockIt is never going away. It's too popular to just rip it all away... but a re-tracking would be nice.

I don't think anything permanent will come here other than maybe something temporary if KidZone ever goes away for Nintendo or something else. The area in front of BMG is ideal for a hotel as part of a redo of the entrance ala Beijing.

Isn’t it too close to HRRR? I’d imagine the sound there would necessitate some soundproofing that would be cost prohibitive

RockIt is a pretty quiet coaster, don't think its that big of an issue.

I think it’s way too close for a hotel and I think that that isn’t what we need in Orlando in terms of a entrance redesign. A hotel would only make things tighter not more spacious.

Roller coaster? Restaurant? Hmmm...

Roller coaster? Restaurant? Hmmm...

Those are cool. I remember eating at the one in Europa park.

That could work.

When I went to the one in the UK it was a great experience but the food wasn’t amazing. The franchise is licensed out by Mack Rides and they have worked with Universal so it could happen.

They are developing another food concept which is launching this year called Eatrenalin launching at Europa Park this year. It looks really cool, you go to different cooking bays and setting to eat on a trackless ride vehicle. I think Unsiversal could do a lot with this. Eatrenalin – new dimensions for all your senses

I could see a large scale VR experience/Escape Room working here. The soundstage is big enough that you could actually have both with something like The Void on one side and a Universal IP-themed Escape Room on the other side.

This legitimately looks like the biggest PitA.

The infrastructure will not allow, in my opinion. That area is land locked on all sides and it is not like there is a lot of real estate available. Do you see how massive the entry hotel is in Beijing? Hotels take up lots of space. They would have to do a lot more tearing down than BMG.

This, but make it a 'Film Vault' a nice fancy callback to the Bone Yard

and previous Universal attractions


and of course rename the current Film Vault lol

Would love to see Universal use the plaza area for BMG for a City Walk Expansion. And I would LOVE to see Universal re-track HRRR with Gerstlauer track and add a killer lighting package (something like Knott's HangTime) that would look amazing at night for Universal's skyline.

I wish they’d replace RRR with a coaster that didn’t suck

I'd appreciate it a lot more if the songs weren't only from the late 00s

I'm going to will an Intamin mega into existence

Am I just old? Or is RRR really dang rough?

It isn’t smooth, but the bigger issue for me is how often the ride has a brake block. Like, it never really gets going.

This is the one right here. Being right outside of the gates as well, perfect spot! Could even keep the backdoor entrance for customers only.

The real big brain move is the secret song list. The only acceptable song is Rainbow Connection.

Just meant as part of an entirely new entrance reconstruction ala California Adventure. And it doesn't have to be a huge as Beijing.
