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

"Tear down Simpsons for Amity Island" is the Universal version of terminal Disney Brain.

I really hope another theme park isn’t in the cards for a very long time.

For the record I wholeheartedly agree, but, capitalism!

I don’t think much Disney fans are really clamoring for old rides to return (except for Splash Mountain, but those for… other reasons). And what‘s wrong with it replacing Springfield, not like it’s going to stay too soon?

To be fair, if F&F + San Fran really is being rethemed to Hill Valley, I don't think an Amity return is too much of a blue sky stretch.

The only reason I'm against Disney or Universal building another park, is that I don't want them to neglect their current parks. But in a perfect world, we'd have a new park and new attractions/lands at the existing parks.

Strongly agree. Unfortunately, the other parks go in budget hell mode when a new park is constructed/opened.

Agree 100%. It really seems like Universal has already been testing response to the classics with the merch/experiences they’be been putting out over the last few years. There’s frequently questions about the classics like BTTF and Jaws in surveys. We had the classic movies parade and other similar experiences. They are always churning out merch for the classics like Jaws and BTTF. Especially given that the rumors of BTTF is returning seems to be legitimate and holding weight, why is it so crazy to think Jaws could return? I’d also argue that the same stuff Universal did years ago bringing more monster merch and reintroducing them via HHN was the same method before they brought us Darkmoor in Epic. One could argue it’s just satiating nostalgia and isn’t leading up to anything more permanent but I don’t think we can discredit it as not leading up to something more either.

I'm still not going to believe the resurgence of USF's classic IPs as new attractions until I see it...

... but I'd love to see it. JAWS and BACK TO THE FUTURE, as films, are too important to the legacy of the entire company to not have significant representation in the theme parks.

1. This is Blue Sky.
2. Instead of posting unnecessary negative comments, why don't you offer a counter blue-sky design/attraction?

I gotta agree. This is a thread called "Let's *play* being head of Universal Creative." Emphasis on play, as in not bound to reality. The entire purpose of this thread is to go Blue Sky, logic and what's "realistic" need not apply. I don't get the negativity.

Good to know I’m not the only one uncomfortable with that “terminal Disney brain” post, that was rude and uncalled for considering what type of thread this is.
