Let's play being head of Universal Creative...

I’ve been playing Metroid Prime 4: Beyond recently, and just hear me out: a Metroid Vi-O-La launch coaster (or fast dark ride)!

So now that all is said and done...

I really have to wonder if we ever see anything in the parks for Stranger Things. With spinoffs coming, I do think the IP will have staying power for a very long time.

Unlikely (outside HHN presumably this year).



EDIT: I just went to the Netflix House in Philadelphia and thoroughly enjoyed myself (Philly has One Piece and Wednesday as the 2 big IP drawn experiences).

We did the Wednesday experience, but in Philly, Stranger Things is limited to a VR experience.

I know the one in Texas is a full-on experience, but they've also said these experiences are going to rotate.

I also don't know that this would necessarily prohibit a full theme park land/attraction from existing either!

Although it is very popular, I don't think Stranger Things lends itself particularly well to a land or a ride.

If we do end up getting a new permanent attraction based on a modern horror franchise, I feel like FNAF is a lot more likely. FNAF feels perfectly suited for a ride (there has been an official pitch before), and Universal already has a strong internal relationship with the property, as they have distributed the films.

I've actually never seen the FNAF ride pitch!

I think ST could lend itself well to a ride, but unfortunately/fortunately, we already have a ride that involves riding bikes lol

Not disagreeing, just saying it's unlikely, yanno what i mean? They're going as far as they want into a controlled immersive atmosphere with these Netflix House builds so i find it hard to think they'd want to share a profit with a theme park to go full-time in a land. Maybe something like an Unleashed involvement/merger/partnership? Hard to say.

But yes, @mccgavin , that Sally Dark Rides pitch for FNaF is legendary stuff. Shame we never got it anywhere.
Would fit right in at any Universal Studios park.

In 2016, Sally Dark Rides got permission from Scott Cawthon to develop a FNAF dark ride. They tried shopping it around to multiple parks, but nobody ever ended up approving it.

Am I crazy? This looks like a better version of The Wiggles ride from Dreamworld lol
