KidZone Replacement Rumors & Speculation (Pt 2)

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

Animal Actors is fine. A Dreamworks theater would be a lesser experience. Always nice to have good live entertainment in a sit-down setting. Universal is lacking that. Why decrease it even more?

I think Animal Actors is outdated, I also tend to not love the use of animals for entertainment but I digress there.

I also enjoy live entertainment, but they don’t seem to be investing there really especially since Bourne struggles with tech issues. Idk, it’s a great use of space!

Granted they have 3 other empty theatres to deal with…….

I get to drink a beer and see a golden retriever, pug, and corgi . I like Animal Actors.

Animal Actors is a lot of fun. The only thing I hate is the opening song for some reason lol

You don't like PeeWee's Big Adventure? (One time I saw the show and one dog wouldn't cooperate so the song ran for a solid 10 minutes)

The best showings of Animal Actors are when the animals don't participate, lol

Not at Animal Acors, but Grinch's Xmas at the former BMG theater in 2021. Max, the Grinch's dog, decided to run around the entire stage towards the end of the show. The cast seemed mesmerized, just stood there,
not knowing what to do. All dialogue and movement ceased. After a couple of minutes, the trainer got Max to return to the Grinch's sleigh, where he was supposed to be for that scene. Very memorable show. Loved it. :clap:

Shrek can have his own land, and Puss can have their own as well.

I think if they ever get a 4th theme park built these IP’s will be heavily included. Or I pray at least.

Also… would anyone hate if they just turned Animal Actors into Dreamworks theatre? Have the Castle Facade from Singapore to spruce it up a bit. 4-D theatres are still a good idea for the parks for all ages attractions.

There is that massive expansion pad at EU that can be for Shrek and puss. No need for two lands. Also I'm glad they aren't shoehorning Shrek here.

Eh, save that land for LOTR. There is other room for Shrek.

AA is literally cut right out of 90's Universal

The celebration of critters in film is a little slice of the "ride the movies" days

Lots of cool info in this one from Alicia:

Kung Fu Panda Animated Meet & Greet Rumored for KidZone Replacement at Universal Studios Florida

Could this patent for interactive digital character technology be for a new Kung Fu Panda meet and greet at Universal Orlando?

Does animated character refer to an animatronic or character on a screen?

On a screen

 

[DodgsonHere]

On a screen

Eh, this isn’t too exciting for me personally then.

I’m sure it’ll be good for kids, but it’s not fundamentally different from something like Turtle Talk.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

yes they'll have play areas. i also heard there will be universal version of a popular kids Disney attraction here.

Say what you want but Turtle Trek is popular.
Also Alicia’s story shows this is going to be more complex and physical than TT.

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

I reallyyyyy just want a full throttle KFP land, but I’ll take this.

I think the drawings are a diversion, they are going to pimp up the Fast and the Furious attraction with a new meet and greet.

What? :huh:

When I read this, I instantly had a vision of Vin Diesel on a screen at the ride entrance jumping up and down with a stupid grin on his face yelling “Pick me! Pick me!” Trying to get anybody to get into that justifiably empty queue line…

On a more serious note, I think this Kung Fu Panda interactive meet and greet might be a good fit both for Kidzone and the new kids oriented park in Texas.

 

[shiekra38]

The interactive screen character in Volcano Bay is a lot of fun

Although, I'm partial to puppets(?) like the Donkey one

Speaking of, I hope we get the Hollywood Donkey skin for ours, cause our Donkey looks like the druggy version

 

[SkiBum]

What? :huh:

When you go there, they greet you like family or is that Olive Garden?
