As much as a lot of people hate TL, there's going to be a lot of sadness in this community when it closes.

Depends on what comes in it's place. If Popeye's goes by the wayside, there might be legit tears.
With all the stuff to be done first, I would guess both Popeye & Dudley will be around for at least 6 plus years.I'll be devastated for Popeye and Dudley..
Only way I'd be okay with it is if all of Toon Lagoon got a SpongeBob/Bikini Bottom reskin.

-Nope, doesn’t need to happen. Can it? Sure, but 99% of the guests would be indifferent to the change. If it happens, it’s to make it easier marketing for them, that’s it.
-I’m glad we’re getting it, but it wasn’t even close to a priority. It certainly wasn’t needed.
-Here’s the top priority.
-Here’s a 4th priority.
-And concede Marvel to Disney? Lol. Let me say that again. LOL. A new ride and the elimination of Dr Doom is the 3rd priority.
-They could do something with the theater tomorrow. An overhaul or simply a new attraction at TL theater is the 2nd priority.
But overall, with the exception of Poseidon/LC and TL theater (and a night show), IoA is in fantastic shape as pretty much perfect.
Wasn't their a R&B coaster planned back in the day? I thought I heard a rumor that it was cutNo, I enjoy it personally. Although I would have loved a Rocky and Bullwinkle ride. I remember going to IOA when it first opened, and there was tons of cartoon merch. I was so close to buying a Whatsamatter U jersey. Last time I went most of that merch was replaced with "cell phone" cases, and other airport store junk.
I think even UOR has given up on the original idea of this land, and now it just sits there neglected compared to other areas in the park.

It was planned. At least the concept was in place. It was a Rocky the Flying Squirrel coaster. I always felt the entrance/exit for it was pre-planned to sit to the left of RipSaw Falls.Wasn't their a R&B coaster planned back in the day? I thought I heard a rumor that it was cut

Good, I wasn't imagining it...I feel like it was tied into Dudley's "finished" mountainsideIt was planned. At least the concept was in place. It was a Rocky the Flying Squirrel coaster. I always felt the entrance/exit for it was pre-planned to sit to the left of RipSaw Falls.
There is enough space for something there...bigger fish to fryI probably sound like a broken record but maybe an indoor dark boat ride(keeping with the theme of water rides) should replace the theater. But I have no idea if there’s enough space for it.

It should be something water related. Having said that, I always felt that the Penguins of Madagascar would of been a perfect fit. It’s great in Singapore. The rest of the Madagascar characters could work as well. The left side of the park can be animal based. Dinos, giant apes, and animals of today.If they don't utilize the Rocky & Bullwinkle characters, Peabody & Sherman, or other classic cartoons, I'm down for a recent property from Illumination. After all, the land is about animation and there was Despicable Me merch the last time I was there. If they could grab a non-Universal owned IP, Adventure Time would be a nice fit, though the show has ended its run. But that's for time to tell.
If they could have gotten the ride idea tech to actually work , we'd probably be just about ready for an Iron Legion ride opening this year in that spot.Toon Lagoon Theater should turn into...
Iron Legion.
What? It doesn't have to be Toon Lagoon based.
Looking at Google Maps, the TL theater takes up about the same amount of space as Cat in the Hat. So something can definitely fit there!I probably sound like a broken record but maybe an indoor dark boat ride(keeping with the theme of water rides) should replace the theater. But I have no idea if there’s enough space for it.
